About Me
9+ Years of Hands-on SEO & Growth Leadership.
I'm Najmus Sayadat, an SEO leader based in Bengaluru, India. Over 9+ years I've grown sites from scratch, recovered domains after hacks and penalties, and led SEO teams across agencies and in-house companies.
How I Approach Organic Growth
Core principles behind every audit, build, and team sprint.
1. Fix the Root Cause, Not the Symptom
I treat SEO like an engineer — find what's actually broken and fix it properly. That means server logs, crawl audits, and clean site architecture before worrying about keywords.
2. Results That Actually Matter
Rankings are a means, not the goal. I focus on qualified traffic, leads, and real business outcomes — not vanity metrics.
3. Built for AI Search, Not Just Google
Structuring content so it can be found and cited by AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity — not just ranked in classic search results.
4. Clear Leadership Across Teams
Working directly with dev, content, and product teams with clear plans and regular updates. No technical hand-waving.
