What he works on

Getting brands into AI answers, not only search results.

Waseem’s work sits where classic SEO meets AI search. These are the four areas he leads for RankMeTech’s agency partners.

AI visibility audits

Checks how a brand shows up when buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, which competitors get named instead, and which sources those answers cite.

Entity and schema work

Structured data, consistent business details and clear entity signals, so search engines and AI models can identify a brand and trust what it says.

Answer-ready content

Briefs and pages built around the questions buyers actually ask AI tools, with plain definitions, comparisons, FAQs and sources an assistant can quote.

Technical SEO foundations

Crawling, indexation, site speed and internal linking. AI search still leans on pages that classic search can find and understand.

Background

From hands-on SEO to AI search.

Waseem started in SEO more than a decade ago, doing the hands-on work himself: technical audits, keyword research, on-page fixes and client reporting. Over that time he has worked on more than 500 business websites, many of them e-commerce stores on Shopify and BigCommerce.

When AI assistants started answering buyers’ questions directly, he moved RankMeTech’s focus to GEO. The goal is simple: make sure a brand is understood, mentioned and cited by AI tools, not only ranked in the blue links.

Today he runs RankMeTech from Halifax, Nova Scotia, delivering white-label SEO and GEO for digital agencies across Atlantic Canada and beyond. Agency partners work with him directly, and he reviews the audits that go out under their brand.
