"Brand30" is a 30-day challenge designed to help you create a personal brand on LinkedIn.

12 elements your landing page needs to be visible in AI search 👇 

Most pages are built for Google only.
Not for ChatGPT.
Not for Perplexity.
Not for Gemini.

That means no visibility in AI answers.
No recommendations.
No new organic traffic.

Search has changed.
Ranking keywords is no longer enough.

You now need an AI-Visible landing page.

A page that does three things:

→ Builds trust for humans and AI
→ Answers real questions, not just keywords
→ Converts high-intent organic traffic

I’m currently writing Become AI-Visible.
A practical guide on how to show up inside AI answers.

This checklist is a direct excerpt from the guide.

Here’s my 12-point checklist 👇

1. Headline + subheadline
Clear outcome.
Entity-based language.
Specific audience.

Example:
“The AI-Powered SEO Strategy for B2B SaaS Teams.”

2. A real hero asset
Not a stock image.
A video, diagram, or data.
Something AI would actually cite.

3. Above-the-fold CTA
One clear action.
No scrolling needed.

4. Authority signals
Client logos.
Media mentions.
Podcast appearances.

5. Problem → solution in Q&A
Ask the question your buyer asks AI.
Answer it clearly.

6. Features → outcomes
What does this enable?
What changes after using it?

7. Case studies
Real people.
Real names.
Real numbers.

8. Clear pricing
No confusion.
Anchor price to value and ROI.

9. Final CTA + intent offer
Repeat the action.
Offer a high-value resource.

10. Human support
Live chat.
Clear contact.
Real experts behind the page.

11. SEO basics still matter
Speed.
Mobile.
Clean structure.

12. AI visibility elements
Entity schema.
Structured data.
Consistent messaging everywhere.


This is the new SEO.

6 of Google’s most powerful SEO tools (100% free)

Most SEO teams pay thousands for tools
that try to guess what Google wants.

Meanwhile, Google already tells you, for free.

If you want to win SEO in 2026, you don’t need more software.

You need to master these 6 tools:

1️⃣ Google Search Console
 This is Google talking to you directly.
→ Rankings, indexing, crawl issues, real queries.

2️⃣ Google Analytics 4
 Traffic doesn’t matter. Behavior does.
→ Engagement, drop-offs, conversions, and user journeys that explain why pages fail or win.

3️⃣ PageSpeed Insights
 Slow pages don’t rank. Period.
→ Core Web Vitals + exact fixes Google expects you to make.

4️⃣ Google Trends
 Search volume is lagging data.
→ Trends show demand before everyone else reacts.

5️⃣ Google Tag Manager
 Bad tracking = bad SEO decisions.
→ Full control over data without waiting on developers.

6️⃣ Looker Studio
 If insights aren’t visible, they don’t exist.
→ Dashboards that turn GSC + GA4 into decisions, not PDFs no one reads.


Hard truth:
These tools aren’t “beginner SEO.”
They’re the foundation of every serious SEO strategy.

Your turn:
 → Which one do you use daily?
 → Which one is still underused on your team?

AI SEO Checklist (2026):
How to make your brand visible in AI search 👇

In 2026, visibility is about 
authority, clarity, and structure.

I’m currently writing Become AI-Visible.
A practical guide on how to show up inside AI answers.

This checklist is a direct excerpt from the guide.

The AI SEO Checklist (2026).
Here’s the breakdown 👇

1. Entity authority & brand definition
 AI doesn’t rank pages.
 It recognizes entities.

▫️ Consistent brand definitions everywhere
▫️ Topical clusters with strong pillar pages
▫️ Semantic internal linking
▫️ Wikipedia / Wikidata presence
▫️ Original research and case studies

2. GEO & citation strategy
 AI prefers answers, not fluff.

▫️ Answer-first content structure
▫️ High fact density
▫️ Authoritative citations
▫️ Expert quotes and testimonials
▫️ Zero ambiguity

3. Content structure & format
 If it’s hard to scan, AI skips it.

▫️ Short semantic paragraphs
▫️ Question-based headers
▫️ Lists, tables, step-by-steps
▫️ Deep FAQ sections
▫️ Video transcripts

4. Platform-specific optimization
 Each AI system pulls from different sources.

▫️  Google AI Overviews = E-E-A-T
▫️  Perplexity = Reddit + freshness
▫️  ChatGPT = Wikipedia-style clarity
▫️  Monitor global AI differences

5. Local SEO & multi-channel presence
AI validates you across the web.

▫️ NAP consistency
▫️ Optimized Google Business Profile
▫️ Local long-tail keywords
▫️ Local backlinks and citations
▫️ Updated directories

6. Owned channels & community
AI trusts brands with direct audiences.

▫️ Email list growth
▫️ Active communities
▫️ Interactive content
▫️ Referral loops
▫️ Live sessions and challenges

7. Technical & AI crawlability
If AI can’t crawl you, you don’t exist.

▫️ AI bots allowed in robots.txt
▫️ Schema (FAQ, HowTo, Article)
▫️ Fast, mobile-first pages
▫️ Server log monitoring
▫️ CDN compatibility

8. Monitoring & performance
What you don’t track, you can’t win.

▫️ AI citations and mentions
▫️ AI share of voice
▫️ AI bot traffic in GA4
▫️ Summary accuracy checks
▫️ Reverse-engineer what works

This is modern SEO.

Muhammad Ahmad Khan

I've helped my ecommerce clients generate over $100M in revenue.

Not with ads.
Not with influencers. 
Not with "hacks."

With words.

Here's the unsexy truth about ecommerce content:

Most brands throw money at writers.

Then wonder why rankings don't move.

The problem isn't talent.

It's the lack of a system.

Here's what I learned while running my Ecommerce SEO agency:

Even the best writers struggle with consistency without a system.

Give them a framework, and they become unstoppable.

So I built a system.

I call it the Semantic Writing Framework for Ecommerce.

Every rule is documented. 
Every pattern is repeatable. 
Every writer follows the same playbook.

This isn't a "style guide."

It's a semantic content operating system inspired by Koray Tugberk GUBUR and semantics principles.

Here's what makes it different:

👉 Depth
Each rule includes: 
→ Clear definition 
→ BAD example (with breakdown of why it fails) 
→ GOOD example (with breakdown of why it works) 
→ Plug-and-play templates 
→ Writer checklist for self-review

My writers don't guess. They execute.

👉 Structure
The framework is organised into thematic clusters:
→ Sentence Clarity & Structure
→ Evidence, Data & Credibility
→ Content Flow & Coherence 
→ Question-Answer Optimisation 
→ Semantic Density & Information Depth 
→ Entity Management & NLP Optimisation 
→ Semantic Relationships 
→ Formatting & Lists
→ Tone, Style & Language 
→ Verb & Grammar Rules 
→ Introduction & H1 Optimisation 
→ Answer Format & Length
→ Nuance & Perspective

New writers get trained cluster by cluster. 

Senior writers use it as a QA checklist. 

Editors use it for consistent feedback.

One framework. Every team member aligned.

👉 ROI
Here's what this system delivers for ecommerce clients:
→ £3.5M revenue from SEO for a single client 
→ 400% increase in organic visibility in 6 months

When your content is built on semantic principles, every piece becomes an asset.

Not an expense.

And with AI search growing?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, they all pull from semantically structured content.

One investment. Compounding returns.

👉 Team Scaling
Before this framework: 
→ Endless revision cycles 
→ Inconsistent quality across writers 
→ Senior team bottlenecked on reviews

After: 
→ First drafts that need minimal edits 
→ Junior writers producing senior-level output 
→ 60% of operations automated

The framework doesn't replace talent.

It multiplies it.

I've combined everything into a holistic complete mindmap:

- Mind map for visual reference 
- Ready for team training

Want the complete Semantic Writing Framework?

Comment "semantic" and make sure we're connected (I can't DM you otherwise). 

I'll send it directly to your inbox.

In 2026 and beyond ecommerce brands that systematise content will outperform those that don't.

Every. Single. Time.

Spending on SEO for your ecommerce store but not seeing ROI?

It's not always a problem with your content and links.

Here's what I often find when working with 7-8 figure ecommerce stores:

They're spending big on SEO.

Publishing content. Building links. Optimizing pages.

But their ranking signals are diluted across thousands of duplicate or near-duplicate URLs they don't even know exist.

Filters. Sorting parameters. Product variants. Pagination. Tracking IDs.

Each one creating a competing version of the same page.

Each one diluting authority.

Each one confusing Google about what to rank.

This is what I call:

Lack of URL Ranking Signal Consolidation.

And BAD CANONICALIZATION is the main reason behind it.

The result:

👉 Category/product pages not ranking high in search
👉 Crawl budget wasted on junk/unnecessary URLs
👉 Authority diluted instead of consolidated
👉 SEO spend with no ROI

The fix?

Not more content.
Not more links.

URL ranking signal consolidation.

I built a system for this that covers:

👉 Where duplicate URLs come from (and why ecommerce platforms create them by design)
👉 How to tell Google your preferred URL (ranked by signal strength)
👉 The audit process to find what's broken
👉 Scenario-specific fixes (filters, variants, pagination, international)

Comment "SYSTEM" and I'll send it to you.

Semantic & AI SEO for 7–8 Figure Ecommerce Stores. More Organic Revenue. Less Paid Dependency.

Most ecommerce product pages fail at SEO because they optimise for just keywords.

Not entities.
Not search intent.
Not AI visibility.

After working on hundreds of e-commerce projects, I've built a complete framework for Product Page Optimization that covers everything from semantic foundations to AI search readiness.

Here's what it includes:
→ Entity-Attribute-Value framework
→ Query intent mapping for transactional, commercial, informational, and navigational searches 
→ Title tags, meta descriptions, and URL structures that actually work 
→ Schema markup implementation 
→ Image and visual content optimization 
→ Reviews and UGC strategy for SEO 
→ Technical SEO checklist for product pages 
→ Internal linking and site architecture 
→ Handling product variants without creating duplicate content 
→ Discontinued product strategy (stop losing that link equity) 
→ Conversion elements that support both rankings and sales 
→ AI search and conversational commerce optimization

The mind map below breaks down each section visually.

Use it as a checklist next time you audit or build a product page.

Semantic & AI SEO for 7-9 Figure Ecommerce Stores. More Organic Revenue. Less Paid Dependency.

ecommerce SEO product page optimization framework

Here's why your SEO content doesn't rank and convert.

You're writing for humans OR search engines.

Never both.

Semantic writing fixes this.

It's precise. It's structured. It aligns with how Google AND humans process information.

The result?
→ Lower content production costs
→ Higher rankings with fewer content items
→ Better engagement when humans land on the page
→ Compounding returns over time

Here's what semantic writing looks like in practice:

VAGUE vs PRECISE:
❌ "Sneakers are known for comfort"
✅ "Sneakers provide cushioning using foam midsoles"

FLUFFY vs DIRECT:
❌ "In today's world, it is important to understand..."
✅ "Running shoes absorb impact through air pocket technology"

LAZY vs SPECIFIC:
❌ "There are many types"
✅ "There are 4 types of sneakers which includes trainers, runners, high-tops, slip-ons"

WEAK vs FACTUAL:
❌ "It is very popular"
✅ "Nike sells 25 million pairs yearly"

See the pattern?

Left side: Bad for search engine extraction. Readers remember nothing.

Right side: Optimized for NLP parsing. Builds reader trust in content and brand.

Does this take more effort per article?

Yes.

But you need fewer high-quality content to dominate.

Fewer content = Lower production costs.
Higher precision = Better rankings.
Better structure = Compounding returns.

The math works.

Semantic SEO turns your organic channel into something you own.

Something that pays you back for years.

Hiring: SEO Project Manager (Remote)

We’re looking for an SEO Project Manager who can own delivery across multiple campaigns. 

You'd be the one making sure nothing slips, keeping clients in the loop, and coordinating between our strategists, writers, and technical team.

You'll need solid technical SEO knowledge and familiarity with SEO (preferably semantics/AI) and content strategy helps a lot given how we work. 

Tools like Screaming Frog, Ahrefs, SEMrush, and Search Console, Data Studio, Google Analytics should feel comfortable.

On the project management side experience with Asana, ClickUp, Monday, or similar is important. Same with Notion, Google Workspace, Slack, and Loom. 

You'll be managing a team and running client calls, sending updates, and keeping documentation tight, so strong communication matters just as much as the technical stuff.

We're remote-friendly, so you can work from anywhere in the world.

If this sounds like your thing, drop your application through the link in the comments.

You can't control Google's algorithm.

You can't control your competitors.

You can't control how many backlinks you get.

But there's ONE thing you control 100%:

Your internal links.

And most ecommerce stores are wasting this opportunity.

Here's what internal links actually do:
→ Help Google understand what your site is about
→ Guide customers to the products/pages they need
→ Pass authority between your webpages
→ Keep visitors on your site longer

The best part?

You don't need anyone's permission.

You don't need to pay for them.

You don't need to outreach or negotiate.

Just connect your pages strategically.

No new content.

No new backlinks.

Just smarter connections and relationships.

Stop chasing what you can't control.

Start optimising what you can.

Most ecommerce brands are stuck.

Spend more on ads to grow, but margins keep shrinking.

Your ad spend is the biggest line item on your P&L. And it keeps growing.

ROAS looks good.

Revenue is flowing.

Then you turn off the ads for a week.

Revenue takes a hit you cannot afford.

I've worked with ecommerce brands doing $1M+ and here's the pattern I see:
→ More than 50% of traffic is paid
→ CAC increases every quarter
→ Margins get squeezed
→ Founders watch their margins shrink quarter after quarter

The solution isn't to abandon paid ads.

It's to build a channel you actually own.

Organic presence across every search platform.

But not the old way.

Not gaming the algorithm.

Not random content. 

Not buying backlinks from link farms. 

👉 Semantic SEO and AI search optimization.

Building organic visibility that:
Compounds over time 
Reduces your blended CAC 
Ranks your brand on Google and gets cited by AI search platforms
Makes your business worth more when you exit

I put together a 90-day playbook specifically for ecommerce founders who want to break free from paid ads dependency.

No fluff. Just the exact system.

Want the complete playbook?

1. Connect with me
2. Comment "PLAYBOOK"

P.S. - Repost for priority access

A $50M ecommerce brand hired me last year.

First thing I told them:

"Your keyword strategy is solid. But Google doesn't understand your products."

They looked confused.

"We rank on page 1 for most of our target keywords."

I pulled up their product data.

- GMC feeds: half-empty attributes.
- Structured data: missing on most pages.
- YouTube presence: not much.
- Reviews mentioning features: barely any.

"You're ranking," I said. "But you're invisible to a lot of AI-powered product discovery."

Then I explained the shift.

Ecommerce SEO isn't about keywords anymore.

It's about whether Google understands your product as an entity.

This is the shift most brands missed.

Google built the Shopping Graph which contains billions of product listings, helping users find specific products.

A semantic database where products exist as entities, not pages with keywords.

Every product connects to attributes like price, brand, color, size, rating, and stock.

It indexes billions of products and uses machine learning to match them to user queries.

When someone asks AI for a product recommendation, it queries this Graph.

The Shopping Graph pulls product data from:

→ YouTube videos
→ Manufacturer websites
→ Online shops and product detail pages
→ Google Merchant Center
→ Google Manufacturer Center
→ Product reviews

Both structured data (like GMC feeds and schema) and unstructured content (like video transcripts and review text) contribute to it.

Their products weren't showing up in these places. Not with the right attributes.

So we fixed it.

→ Completed every GMC feed attribute
→ Rewrote product pages to naturally describe features and use cases
→ Created YouTube content for top products
→ Built a review system that encouraged specific feature mentions
→ Implemented full product schema markup

The focus shifted from keywords to entities, attributes and relationships.

Six months later?

Their products started appearing in AI-generated recommendations.

Traffic from AI sources went from almost nothing to a meaningful channel.

Same products. Same prices. Just properly understood by Google.

If Google Shopping Graph optimization is not in your 2026 ecommerce strategy, you're missing out on a lot of visibility potential.

I've mapped the entire system in the infographic below ↓

Founder @ EcomHolistic | Semantic & AI SEO for 7–9 Figure Ecommerce Stores

Unpopular opinion: most ecommerce stores don't always need more content.

They don't need more links either.

They need to fix the mess they already have.

Here's what I mean.

Ecommerce stores naturally are built to multiply URLs. 

Every category filter or product attribute or feature that improves user experience also multiplies your URLs exponentially.

This huge URL expansion may result in diluting the ranking signals for the main or core URLs, if they're not properly canonicalised and aligned through the website's internal link architecture.

The result?

Your SEO spend goes nowhere. Rankings stay flat. Results never show.

Not because your strategy is wrong.

Because your foundation is broken.

Made a video on how to fix it.
