AI Strategy · NextGen SEO · Agentic Systems

Stop guessing. Start growing with Generative AI.

Most businesses know AI can transform them — they just don’t know where to start. I turn that uncertainty into a clear, measurable growth plan: 17+ years of global consulting, Lean Six Sigma discipline, and next-gen SEO that gets you found on Google and cited in ChatGPT.

Tools & Technologies

The Problem · Why growth stalls

Is invisible online presence and inefficient process capping your growth?

01

Operational Drag

Manual workflows quietly drain the margin AI could be recovering for you.

02

Invisible Online Presence

If buyers can’t find you on Google and in AI answers, you don’t exist.

03

The AI Implementation Gap

Everyone says “do AI.” Almost nobody tells you where to start or how to measure ROI.

I fix all three — with a plan you can measure, and systems that actually ship.

What I Do · Four ways I create leverage

Leverage, not hype.

I don’t sell AI for its own sake. I sell the discipline that makes it pay — from the first problem statement to the shipped, running system.

The Flagship · AEO Agent X

Ten years of search expertise, running as AI agents.

AEO Agent X is where over a decade of my own search and content work ended up.

Nothing goes live until you approve it.

  • 0+ years of search & content expertise, encoded

  • 0 manual steps between brief and draft

Proof · Numbers, not adjectives

+0%

Organic traffic growth on an asset-tracking client — “qualified inbound leads in dozens per month, where there had been zero.”

Real companies, real results.

I run marketing and AI builds for operating companies across:

  • GPS & asset tracking
  • Fleet telematics
  • Industrial fasteners
  • Awards & recognition
  • Artisan retail
  • Family entertainment
  • Luxury hospitality
  • Golf & sports tech

Client names and references shared on request — not published here.

Selected engagements.

A sample of the work behind those numbers. Sectors named, clients not — the details are theirs, not mine to publish.

GPS & asset tracking · US +0%

Organic growth program end-to-end: technical remediation, a sustained content engine, and an internal-link architecture built to earn AI citations. Qualified inbound moved from zero to dozens of leads a month.

  • SEO
  • AEO
  • Content engine
Industrial fasteners · US 0

Full catalogue content audit: product pages rewritten for search intent, metadata corrected at scale, dead URLs remediated, and a specification tool built to capture high-intent technical queries.

  • Content audit
  • Technical SEO
  • Tooling
Fleet telematics · D2C 0

Blog architecture rebuilt and migrated onto a new commerce platform without losing a single ranking — redirects mapped, canonicals preserved, publishing cadence restored.

  • Migration
  • IA
  • Redirects
Artisan retail studio Funnel made visible

Bookings were completing off-site, so analytics reported nothing and the content looked like it was failing. Diagnosed the measurement gap and rebuilt tracking end-to-end — the channel had been working the whole time.

  • GA4
  • Attribution
  • Diagnosis
Awards & recognition · Manufacturer Visibility rebuilt

Search Console diagnosis down to the page: indexation faults, template-level duplication, and keyword cannibalisation between competing pages — untangled and consolidated into a single ranking asset per topic.

  • GSC
  • Indexation
  • Cannibalisation
Family entertainment · Multi-site Decline root-caused

A frightening traffic drop turned out to sit almost entirely in a non-core segment the business did not monetise. Isolated the real cause, protected the revenue-driving pages, and stopped a costly overcorrection.

  • Forensics
  • Segmentation
  • Strategy

I also build products & tools.

Marketing is half the story — the other half is a portfolio of AI products, tools, and agents I’ve shipped.

About · AI-powered business consulting

A builder who learned business the hard way.

I’m a mechanical engineer who taught himself to code, spent 17 years learning how businesses actually work across 15 countries, and now build the AI that runs their marketing and their products. I trained under an award-winning IBM & EY consultant, and I carry one rule into everything: define the problem first.

The Book · AI or Die

The book behind the discipline.

AI or Die (Wiley, 2025) is the playbook I co-authored with my partner and mentor Frank Shines — former IBM & EY consultant and Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt. Its thesis runs through everything I build: adopt AI deliberately and tie it to ROI, or get left behind by those who do.

“While others still play the old SEO game, Umer is leading the charge in NextGen AEO/GEO — he doesn’t just understand AI, he knows how to weaponize it for growth.”— Frank Shines, co-author of AI or Die

In Their Words

Clients keep the receipts.

LinkedIn recommendation

“In 30 years of consulting with Fortune 500s, I’ve met few people who can navigate the technical complexities of GenAI while maintaining a relentless focus on ROI. Umer is one of them. As my partner at Analytics AIML and co-author of AI or Die, he has been the architect behind our most ambitious digital transformations.

While others are still playing the old SEO game, Umer is leading the charge in NextGen AEO/GEO. He recently spearheaded a strategy that delivered a $12M revenue lift for a client. If you need a strategist who bridges deep technical execution and high-level business transformation, Umer is the gold standard.”

“What started as an SEO engagement quickly evolved into much more. Umer’s AI-first approach, combined with deep expertise in SEO, AEO, and digital strategy, has consistently delivered measurable results — significant growth in organic traffic, qualified leads, and sales. What sets him apart is that he thinks like a business strategist, not just a marketer.”

Gabriel Weeks

“I work with Umer daily at GPX Intelligence, where he leads our SEO, website development, and backlink strategy. He’s been instrumental in turning around our organic performance — driving meaningful improvements in rankings, traffic, and, most importantly, qualified enterprise leads into our pipeline. If you need someone who can execute and deliver measurable SEO impact, I highly recommend him.”

Mitch Belsley
Executive, GPX Intelligence
LinkedIn recommendation

“I have worked with Umer for over 10 years, and he is a man of integrity who always delivers on his commitments. His expertise in Generative AI and automation has helped take our business to levels we never thought possible. If you’re looking for someone who thinks strategically, executes reliably, and genuinely cares about your success, I highly recommend Umer.”

Billy Colucci

LinkedIn recommendation

“I’ve been working with Umer since 2015, and over the years he has become much more than my website developer and SEO expert — he’s someone I truly trust for business and technology advice. He’s helped me grow through website development, digital marketing, AI automation, and strategic guidance, always looking at the bigger picture instead of quick fixes.”
