Search changed. A lot of SEO people are still catching up. I help businesses show up on Google and get found in ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews — and if you've got repetitive tasks eating your day, I automate those too with n8n and Make.com.
About Danish Maqsood
I'm Danish — SEO guy, automation nerd, based in Islamabad. Been doing this for 5 years. Started with the usual: rankings, technical audits, backlinks. Then AI search happened and I had to figure it out fast.
Turns out, getting your brand cited in ChatGPT or showing up in a Google AI Overview is a completely different game from ranking a blue link. Most SEO consultants haven't cracked it yet. I have — and it's become a big part of what I do now.
My clients are mostly small and medium businesses — some in Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi, others in Dubai, UK, USA and KSA. They come to me because they want someone who actually gets things done, not someone who sends 40-page reports and disappears.
Services
Here's what I actually do. No package names, no upsells — just the work that moves the needle for your business.
I dig into what's broken, fix it, and build a ranking strategy around keywords your actual customers search for. Pakistan, UAE, USA, UK — the process is the same, the market knowledge is local.
More than half of all Google searches now show an AI-generated answer at the top. I make sure that answer mentions you — not your competitor. It's not magic, it's structured content and schema done right.
ChatGPT and Perplexity don't crawl websites the way Google does. I build the kind of brand presence that gets you mentioned when someone asks an AI a question in your field.
Most of the stuff my clients do manually every day can be automated in a weekend. I build workflows in n8n and Make.com that run quietly in the background so you stop doing the same thing over and over.
Google Maps is often the first thing a potential customer sees. I make sure it's your business they find — properly set up, optimized, and actually showing up in the area searches that matter to you.
AEO & GEO
Traditional SEO gets you a blue link on page 1. That's still worth doing. But AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) gets your brand's words into the AI answer itself — the one that shows before any links. That's where attention goes now.
Over half of all Google searches show an AI Overview. ChatGPT has 883 million users. Perplexity is growing fast. If you're not showing up there, a good chunk of your potential customers are getting their answer from someone else.
AI Automation
I've seen the same story with almost every client — hours wasted on tasks that could run automatically. Lead follow-ups, reporting, data entry. I build the automations, you get your time back.
How I Work
Not a generic checklist — a real look at your site, your competitors, and where the actual gaps are. I tell you what's broken and what's worth fixing first.
I put together a 30/60/90-day plan focused on what moves the needle quickest. You see exactly what I'm going to do and why — no vague strategies.
Technical fixes, content, schema, automation builds — all done by me, not outsourced to a team you've never met. You can ask me anything along the way.
Every month I send a clear report — rankings, traffic, AI visibility. If something's not working, I tell you and we adjust. No spin, no vanity metrics.

Testimonials
★★★★★"Honestly didn't think the AI Overviews thing would actually work for a business like mine. Three months in, our traffic doubled and we started showing up in those AI answers. Danish knows what he's doing."
Ahmed Khan
★★★★★"We started getting leads saying they found us through ChatGPT. That was new for us. Danish got our brand showing up in the AI answers for our key topics — the leads that come in that way are much better quality too."
