and team leadership

SEO is the core discipline. The page shows what I own, the tools I use and the cases that demonstrate each capability.

Leadership scope

What I own as a Head of SEO

Organic Growth & SEO Strategy

Enterprise SEO strategy, prioritization, measurement and organic growth.

Technical SEO & Architecture

Large-scale catalogs, crawl and indexation, platform changes and release reliability.

Product & Engineering Leadership

Requirements, prioritization, implementation support and release validation.

Team & Operating Systems

Team leadership, capacity management, automation and cross-functional execution.

Area 01

SEO

SEO

SEO strategy & organic growth

What the team gets

An agreed priority plan: what to do first, why it matters and how the outcome will be measured.

How I work and the tools I use

Set SEO direction using demand, site state and team capacity.

When this is especially useful

When technical fixes, content and catalog development all compete for limited resources.

What I take ownership of

Connect search demand, site evidence and business goals; build the SEO plan and KPIs, align dependencies with engineering and revisit priorities as evidence changes.

SEO

Technical SEO & release reliability

What the team gets

Reproducible defects and actionable requirements instead of a vague “organic traffic dropped.”

How I work and the tools I use

Verify technical page behavior and define requirements that affect crawling, canonicalization and indexability.

When this is especially useful

On large sites with frequent releases, redirects, filter parameters and multiple page templates.

What I take ownership of

Check HTTP behavior, redirects, canonical policy and indexability; define the expected state and validate it after release.

SEO

Semantic demand & large-catalog architecture

What the team gets

Clear landing-page rules: when a new page is justified, when an existing page is enough and how to avoid duplicate inventory.

How I work and the tools I use

Connect search demand to categories, tags and filter pages in a large catalog.

When this is especially useful

When one category is too broad for demand but exposing every filter combination would create duplicate search inventory.

What I take ownership of

Cluster queries by intent, choose the right page type and validate internal linking and cannibalization risk.

Area 02

Answer optimization (AEO)

AEO — search answers

Answer-focused content (AEO)

What the team gets

Content with clear answers, supported facts and explicit applicability — useful regardless of the search interface.

How I work and the tools I use

Structure content so a direct answer remains clear, supported and useful when extracted from the full page.

When this is especially useful

When the user needs a concrete answer but the page is indirect, overly long or missing important conditions.

What I take ownership of

Define the question and intent, structure the answer and verify that extracted passages retain meaning and evidence.

Area 03

AI search visibility (GEO)

GEO / AI Search

Generative search visibility (GEO)

What the team gets

A clear measurement plan: what to capture before changes, what to compare after and what evidence is needed for a decision.

How I work and the tools I use

Design a measurement program for brand presence, citations and factual accuracy in generative answers.

When this is especially useful

When a company needs more than anecdotal screenshots to understand its presence in AI search.

What I take ownership of

Define query samples, commercial-fact availability requirements and repeatable before/after measurement.

Artificial intelligence (AI)

AI

AI in analytics, content & automation

What the team gets

Faster drafts and testable hypotheses without treating model output as evidence by itself.

How I work and the tools I use

Use language models for synthesis, content preparation and repeatable workflow steps with explicit validation.

When this is especially useful

When the work involves many observations, structured drafting or a candidate automation workflow.

What I take ownership of

Prepare the source data, task and quality criteria; separate generation, evidence checking and the final human decision.

Area 05

Python and automation

Python / automation

Python & SEO automation

What the team gets

Repeatable data collection, transformation and validation without redoing the same manual steps.

How I work and the tools I use

Use Python as a working tool for repeatable checks and data processing, with existing libraries and AI-assisted development.

When this is especially useful

When the task can be described as a repeatable algorithm: fetch data, join sources, detect anomalies or prepare an output.

What I take ownership of

Define the algorithm and acceptance criteria, assemble or adapt the solution and validate it on real data.

Area 06

Analytics and data (BI)

Analytics / data

Search analytics & BI

What the team gets

Prepared evidence for a concrete decision: where the change happened, what might explain it and what to investigate next.

How I work and the tools I use

Combine search, page and assortment data to investigate changes by category and demand cluster.

When this is especially useful

When a top-line chart shows movement but does not explain which pages or demand areas are responsible.

What I take ownership of

Define the required dimensions, sources and comparison rules; design views for specialists and leadership.

Area 07

Product and engineering

Product & engineering

Product & engineering collaboration

What the team gets

A clear delivery brief: expected behavior, constraints and acceptance criteria.

How I work and the tools I use

Turn SEO requirements into implementable product and engineering changes and validate the result after release.

When this is especially useful

When the solution depends on CMS behavior, templates, catalog logic, backend or frontend code and a generic SEO recommendation is not enough.

What I take ownership of

Explain the problem and risk, compare implementation options, define acceptance criteria, run SEO UAT and verify the real post-release behavior.

SEO leadership & mentoring

What the team gets

Clear priorities, regular outcome review and explicit ownership inside SEO and across partner teams.

How I work and the tools I use

Set priorities and operating rhythm for the SEO team and help specialists take ownership of increasingly complex areas.

When this is especially useful

When demand exceeds capacity, execution depends on several departments or team members need support with complex technical decisions.

What I take ownership of

Use KPIs and work reviews, explain decision logic, give feedback and progressively transfer ownership through real cases and validation.
