Founder & CEO, iPullRank

Founder and CEO of iPullRank, organizer of SEO Week, and one of the loudest voices arguing that 'AI-powered SEO tools' are mostly cosplay. Builds open-source relevance systems for enterprise search and shapes how the industry thinks about retrieval engineering.

Abstract

Burn the playbook: SEO tools are mostly keyword math with a ChatGPT wrapper. Build real relevance systems yourself with open source and automation.

Suggested takeaways

  • Why 'AI-powered SEO tools' are mostly cosplay
  • What relevance engineering actually looks like
  • Build + automate the stuff vendors won't ship
