Rajdeep Singh Bhatia —
strategist & operator
I'm an SEO, AEO, and GEO strategist who also runs e-commerce and content brands of my own, so every audit, listing, and content system I build has already been tested on my own numbers first. Based in Punjab, India, I work hands-on with founders who want AI visibility that compounds, not a strategy deck that sits in a drawer.
How I Grew With the Industry
Every shift below tracks a shift in search itself — from academic writing, to SEO, to building AI-visible strategy today.

Frequently asked questions
The questions that usually come up before starting a conversation.
01Am I working directly with you, or handed off to a team?
Directly. There's no account manager layer or junior staff doing the actual work — the person you talk to on the call is the person doing the strategy and the content.
02Do you work with clients remotely?
Yes, all engagements run remotely, with direct communication throughout rather than routing through a support queue.
03What makes this different from a typical SEO agency?
Two things: it covers both traditional SEO and the newer AEO/GEO side of getting cited inside AI answers, and it's one specialist doing the work rather than a rotating team, which usually means fewer handoffs and a more consistent strategy over time.
04How far back does your experience go?
The full timeline is above — it traces how the work evolved from earlier content and SEO roles through to the current focus on AEO, GEO, and AI visibility.
