Search Intent Analyzer

Paste your keywords and instantly see which intent each one carries - and what type of page and format should target it. The same logic I use to help teams sort keyword lists, build content calendars, and stop pages from cannibalizing each other.

Free Tool · QueryMind

Do LLMs recommend you -
or your competitor?

One keyword becomes dozens of AI conversations - and every follow-up question is a chance to be the cited answer, or to hand the recommendation to someone else. QueryMind maps the fan-out and shows who wins each turn.

My point of view
SEO isn’t dying. Lazy SEO is. AI answers, zero-click SERPs, and smarter buyers punish templated content - and reward teams who understand intent better than their competitors. That’s the whole game, and it’s winnable.

Fair questions

Do you work independently or through SmartClick?+
Both. I’m SEO Director at SmartClick, where I lead strategy across the agency’s SaaS accounts. Independently, I take a small number of consulting and advisory engagements - and I’m always upfront about which hat fits your situation best.
Who do you typically work with?+
SaaS and B2B companies in Europe and the US - usually teams that already execute well but need senior strategic direction, or founders deciding whether SEO deserves real budget.
How does an engagement start?+
Always with your data, never with a contract. A first-pass audit and forecast show what growth is realistically available - sometimes the honest answer is that you don’t need me yet, and I’ll tell you that.
How long until results show?+
Months, not weeks - typically 3–6 for meaningful movement, faster when the problem is cannibalization or decayed content. Anyone promising page 1 in weeks is selling you something else.
What’s different about your approach in the AI era?+
I treat AI answers as a search surface, not a threat: mapping how LLMs answer your buyers’ questions, earning citations, and building content that survives zero-click SERPs. Templated content is what’s dying - not SEO.

Stop guessing at SEO. Start forecasting it.

Every engagement starts with an audit and a forecast - so you see what growth looks like before you spend a cent. What's your situation?

Pick one and I'll tell you how I'd approach it - then your email arrives pre-filled so you only add your site.
