SEO Agency for Startups in the SaaS + AI Space - Generated over $15MM worth of traffic value in the last year | Founder @TheAudienz // Co-Founder @swiftbriefapp

From a 5-year-old dreaming with a typewriter to building a global SEO empire...

My journey has been anything but conventional.

I help ambitious founders and startups achieve explosive growth through strategic SEO.

My agency, SWAT SEO, has helped companies reach 7-figure exits, including some of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in the market.

But it wasn't always like this...

In 2009, I was commuting hours each day to a startup in London, barely making ends meet.

After being taken advantage of during an "internship" (despite 10 years of experience)..

I made a decision that changed everything:
I bet on myself.

Started with a simple travel guide about Lisbon (when nobody knew about it).

That single website grew into a network of travel guides generating $250K/year in passive income.

I rolled the earnings into a Travel Startup (Viabam) and $500,000 in revenue in the first year.

Then COVID hit.

Everything travel-related collapsed overnight.

Instead of giving up, I spotted an opportunity: 

Helping tech companies dominate their markets through SEO.

Today, I run a specialized SEO agency that:

✅ Helped Tweet Hunter and Taplio achieve 7-figure exits
✅ Scaled multiple SaaS companies to 7-figures in ARR
✅ Built systems generating $100K+ yearly in passive income
✅ Developed the SCORE framework for predictable SEO growth

What makes us different?

We're not just consultants - we're a SWAT team that combines:
✅ Editorial expertise (former journalist)
✅ Technical mastery (20+ years in digital)
✅ Proven systems (that work across industries)
✅ Focus on revenue (not just rankings)

My mission is simple:

To help 100 companies build unstoppable SEO machines that generate predictable growth month after month.

2 seconds. That's how long it takes for Google and AI to decide if your site deserves visibility. And I know how to make it say yes.

My mission? Make SEO your main acquisition channel in the AI search era.

I help businesses get found not just on Google, but across AI search engines. Because in 2026, being "SEO-optimized" isn't enough... you need to be AI-ready.

I've worked with 300+ clients (B2B SaaS, industrial businesses, marketplaces, local businesses) and brands like Whirlpool, Airbnb, LIDL or the World Economic Forum. Whether you want to optimize your AI visibility or recover your traffic, I deliver clarity, strategy, and measurable growth.

Top-Rated SEO Expert

Top-rated SEO expert with a proven track record of success in improving website rankings, driving traffic, and increasing conversions. Skilled in conducting keyword research, on-page optimization, link building, and analytics to enhance online visibility and drive business growth.

Some CMOs avoid working on SEO because they don’t know which rules to set.

But this is more simple than you think.

When your team knows that:
- Revenue pages must sit within 3 clicks
- Crawl errors have a maximum tolerance
- Indexation has a time expectation
- Performance must tie to business impact

SEO stops being a moving target.

Even if you don’t master these concepts, these rules are guardrails, and guardrails reduce debate.

They make budget conversations easier and actions quicker.

27 SEO Tricks That Don't Work Anymore in 2026:

Your cousin still builds directory links. I bet he's proud of that.

I analyzed 300+ websites that lost traffic last year...

Most marketing teams use outdated tactics.
Google now ignores these.
Sometimes it penalizes them.

The truth hurts:
- 72% of failing websites used at least 10 outdated tricks.
- Only 3% of top sites still use these strategies.
- Most CMOs haven't updated their playbook since 2020.

It’s okay. As a CMO, you cannot be aware of every single evolution.
I used to apply #23 myself back in the days.

What I discovered:
- What worked in 2021 hurts your company website in 2026.
- Technical tricks matter less than authentic content.
- 62% of outdated tactics waste money without adding value.

Stop trusting outdated SEO tips.
Stop chasing tricks.
Start using strategies that work.

Even when LinkedIn screams the opposite.

27 Red Flags You're Overdoing SEO:

We’ve all landed on one of those sites...

↳ Titles that read like keyword soup
↳ Blog posts that don’t answer until paragraph 47
↳ Footers stuffed with every city from Albuquerque to Zurich
↳ Pop-ups stacked like a game of Jenga

Sure, they rank.
But visitors bounce faster than you can say "meta description."

So I pulled together 27 signs your site might have too much SEO.

Yes, because "optimized" doesn’t always mean better.
Sometimes it just means unreadable.

→ Swipe through and see how many you’ve spotted (or guilty of).

♻️ REPOST if you did one at least once in your life!
(if you didn't you're probably lying 😅)
