I am 24, and I come from small business. My father owns a brick-and-mortar auto repair shop, and I grew up working there: changing oil, replacing cabin filters, mopping floors, picking up parts, and cleaning bathrooms. So I learned early what good and bad marketing actually do to a real business, not in theory, in the checkbook. I studied computer science at Auburn, which is why I care about the code under a website and not just how the template looked in the demo.

My day job is Product Owner at my brother's AI SaaS company. I have been part of it since the beginning, so I wear a lot of hats, but my main role is helping steer the software development lifecycle. That is where marketing quietly found me.

It started with the scrappy stuff: Facebook ads, cold email, mass LinkedIn outreach, and automating Reddit posts and comments for answer engine optimization. Then our SEO expert had to step away for a while so we could free up capital, and someone had to pick up the work. That someone was me.

So I did the obvious thing. I copied the formula that already worked. I watched people who were genuinely good at this. Then I started finding the places the formula could be better, and I automated the tedious parts. Not for speed, really. For thoroughness. A person gets bored on page three of a technical audit. A script does not. Automation is how I get to perfectionist-level SEO without cutting the corners humans quietly cut when the work gets boring.

These days I specialize in organic search and answer engine optimization, the visibility you earn and keep, rather than the kind that vanishes the moment an ad budget runs out. I am serious about technical SEO: schema markup, clean semantic HTML, and fast, crawlable pages. I build in real code with frameworks like Astro instead of drag-and-drop builders, because Google cannot rank a page it cannot understand, and neither can an AI answer engine.

That is really why Rank High AI exists. I have seen marketing from the owner's side: broken links, the wrong city listed on a website, an agency logo planted in the footer like they paid for the place. I would rather make marketing clearer and more accountable than add to the fog. I will also tell you an honest timeline. SEO takes at least three months before you should judge it, and more time is better. Anyone promising faster is selling fairy dust with a dashboard.
