Summary
Building a personal brand in SEO doesn't require a massive following. Paul Andre de Vera, founder of Answer Engine Optimization and a 15-year enterprise SEO veteran from Workday, Stripe, and Anaplan, shares how he ranked a prospective employer #1 for a target term in 24 hours to land contract work during a two-year unemployment stint. The conversation covers applying SEO skills to your own name for searchability, refreshing existing content with declarative subheadings and quick facts to win in both LLMs and traditional SERPs, and shifting reporting away from traffic toward a durable metrics stack as AI reshapes search.
