About Ahmed Ali
I’m Ahmed Ali, a technical SEO specialist based in Dubai with 7+ years working with e-commerce brands, publishers and SaaS companies across the Middle East, with US and international markets too.
I work on sites with 1M+ indexed URLs: crawling and indexation, Core Web Vitals, structured data and international SEO. I am not a full-stack developer: I am an SEO with the technical depth to find what slows a site down, fix a lot of it hands-on with AI-assisted development, and brief your developers on the rest. I also write Python and LLM automation that removes hours of manual auditing.
I’ve run paid media and social media campaigns too, so I look at growth as a whole, not SEO in isolation. Today my focus is the next generation of search: making sure your site is found and cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.
This site was built with AI-assisted development and my own technical direction.
