Paul Teitelman has 18 years in organic search and more than 1,000 completed campaigns for businesses across North America, from major brands to local and mid sized companies. That range matters: the constraints on an enterprise programme and a local one are different, and he has run both. He has managed complex enterprise initiatives and high value accounts in retail and telecom, joining technical SEO to search intent strategy so that visibility produces customers.
Link building has been central since his earliest dedicated roles in it. He moved into SEO management, hiring and training practitioners while overseeing large campaigns, and now leads a team of 15. He continues to test acquisition methods on properties he owns, refining how authority is built as Google changes, which means the client work is informed by experiments he paid for himself. He also invests heavily in search focused content to establish topical authority and hold visibility over time.
His current work extends past conventional search into AI powered discovery. His Generative Engine Optimisation work concentrates on brand authority inside generative platforms, and his Answer Engine Optimisation work on how a business structures its presence for direct answers. He helps brands improve their standing when AI systems surface citations or recommendations. The foundation is unchanged: relevance and authority, applied to a new environment and tested rather than assumed.
