Blocked GPTBot in the top 1 Million websites
A study on the uptake of blocking OpenAI's GPTBot crawler across the top 1 million websites.
I build organic growth engines that generate pipeline.
I lead organic growth for B2B and SaaS companies, owning strategy, content, SEO, and the operational systems that make it all compound.
Over 13 years I've built organic growth functions, scaled to 1M+ monthly sessions, and tied organic channels directly to revenue and lead generation. I've managed cross-functional teams across content, design, and development, held external agencies accountable to real KPIs, and designed the SOPs and delivery frameworks that let companies scale output without scaling cost.
My focus right now is on what's next in organic: GEO/AEO, LLM-search visibility, and AI-augmented marketing operations, alongside the fundamentals of technical SEO, content strategy, and conversion that still drive most of the results.
Recent results
These results come from fixing the same underlying issues: unclear priorities, weak execution systems, and organic growth that isn't tied closely enough to the business.
I sit at the intersection of strategy and execution. At a high level, I help teams decide where to focus, how to sequence work, and how organic fits into the wider growth model. At a detailed level, I build the systems: site architecture, content operations, workflows, QA, attribution, and performance tracking.
I use AI to operationalise processes, speed up research, and improve execution quality, with human oversight on everything that matters.
This combination — strategic clarity, operational rigour, and hands-on technical depth, is what turns organic from a reporting metric into a compounding growth channel.
