About Iky

Hi! I started out in brand management in FMCG, handling confectionery, infant milk formula, and supplements when I was in Hong Kong. In 2018, I moved into SEO, and since then I've done SEO both in-house and at digital agencies across ecommerce, SaaS, finance, and professional services.

Along the way, I've worked with international brands including J.P. Morgan, Procore, Nestlé, Merci, Werther's, and Toffifee. I've also spoken at various SEO events and written as a contributing SEO writer.

Currently, I'm an independent Senior SEO/GEO consultant, helping B2B, SaaS and eCommerce businesses with 10K to ~1M organic visits drive revenue through organic search and AI.

Beyond SEO and work, I love binge-watching TV shows and trying new cafés. I'm also learning Spanish (been saying that for 5 years ^^).

What I Value

Revenue over vanity metrics

Rank #1 for a term with no commercial intent and I've wasted your budget. Every recommendation is weighed against what it's actually worth.

Show the work

No black-box reporting. You see the data, the reasoning, and the tradeoffs behind every recommendation I make.

Built to outlast algorithm updates

I don't chase loopholes. Strategies are built on fundamentals that hold up whether the next update is about AI Overviews, E-E-A-T, or something nobody's named yet.
