Technical SEO for the AI Search era.

I am Victor Ijomah. I help brands get crawled, indexed, and cited across Google and the new AI search engines. The work is boring on the surface and compounds underneath.

Based in Liverpool, UK. Master's in Digital Marketing from the University of Chester. Writing daily at the Technical SEO Library.

How I got here

From a tech blog in 2018 to Technical SEO for AI Search.

My first tech blog went live on 23 May 2018. No plan, no audience, no idea what I was doing. Nobody was reading, so I started learning about search.

That is how SEO found me. Bit by bit, post by post, I picked up keyword research, on-page basics, schema markup, and the strange world of how Google decides what to show. The more I learned, the more obvious it became that everything else I was building online sat on top of search.

A Master's at the University of Chester gave me the strategic frame. Brand, behaviour, measurement. But the bit that kept pulling me back was the technical side. The way crawl, index, render, and structured data actually work when you look closely. The work most marketers handed to developers and most developers handed to nobody.

Then AI Search showed up. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini. New crawlers, new retrieval, new rules. Most of the SEO world was still arguing about whether it mattered. The technical SEO toolkit was already the most direct way in. Schema, llms.txt, entity optimisation, log analysis. The quiet work I had been doing for years was suddenly the centre of where search was heading.

So that is what I do now. Technical SEO for the AI Search era. Boring on the surface. Compounding underneath.

What I focus on

The work I am known for.

Six areas where I go deep. Each one has its own Services page with the full breakdown.

01

Schema Markup

Structured data that makes content legible to crawlers and the LLMs feeding AI Search.

02

llms.txt Implementation

The emerging standard for telling AI crawlers what your site is about and what they can use.

03

AI Crawler Management

GPTBot, Google-Extended, CCBot, PerplexityBot. Who gets in, who gets blocked, and the trade-offs nobody talks about.

04

Entity Optimisation

Building the entity graph so search and AI engines understand your brand as a thing, not just a string.

05

Log File Analysis

The only way to see what crawlers actually do, not what you hope they do. Especially the new AI ones.

06

Core Web Vitals & Render

The boring infrastructure work that decides whether everything else can be seen at all.

What I believe

A few things I am fairly stubborn about.

01

SEO is engineering, not magic.

The discipline is measurable, defendable, and built on systems. Anyone selling shortcuts is selling air.

02

Documentation is the work.

If a competitor reads the blog and copies the playbook, they still cannot replicate the rigour. The notes are the moat.

03

AI Search is Technical SEO under new branding.

Schema, crawl, entities, structured data. The toolkit has not changed. The pressure on it has.

04

If it cannot be measured, it cannot be defended.

Every recommendation comes with a way to verify it. Opinions without data are noise.

05

Stay in your lane. Specialise deeply.

I would rather be the person you call for one specific problem than the generalist who does a bit of everything.

The foundation

God first, in everything.

My faith is the foundation for how I show up, the standards I hold, and the way I treat the people I work with. The work matters, the discipline matters, but it all sits on something steadier than my own effort.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”

Proverbs 3:5,6

Work together

Two ways forward.
