01  —  Expertise

Three things I’m hired for.

01

SEO strategy & execution

Semantic architecture, programmatic SEO, and Top-10 positions in competitive niches. Technical SEO where it moves rankings: crawl budget, Core Web Vitals, schema, drop-domain recovery.

02

Marketing engineering

Python and AI pipelines that delete routine — clustering, content generation with human QA, internal tools on Cloudflare. I build the tool myself, with an AI agent, instead of filing a ticket for it.

03

Teams & process

Cross-functional teams of developers, designers and marketers on Scrum. Everyone sees the metrics and we talk about problems openly, so people don’t quit out of the blue.

He’s a genuinely strong technical SEO specialist — the kind of person who digs deep into algorithms, uncovers non-obvious issues, and builds his own solutions when needed.

One of the strongest specialists I’ve worked with. Max always looks beyond just fixing the tech — he understands the bigger strategy and offers solutions that move the needle.
