Available to hire
Hi, I’m AJ Martin, an SEO and organic-growth specialist with 25+ years building and monetizing web properties—from a 900+ site lead-generation marketplace I founded to a 5,000+ page enterprise platform I owned end-to-end.
I combine deep, hands-on SEO with AI-powered automation to accelerate research, content creation, and reporting, using Claude, ChatGPT, n8n, and Apify. I turn search data into prioritized, actionable growth experiments that drive sustainable organic traffic for startups and service businesses.
