Senior SEO Editor and Content Strategist

Content that ranks, converts, and scales.

AI is changing how people find businesses. They read the answer at the top and click less. The content that still wins is built to rank on Google, turn readers into customers, and grow with you. That’s the work I focus on.

Based in Davao City, Philippines. Working with teams worldwide.

Portrait of Ivy Carcido

Hi, I’m Ivy.

I’m a writer and editor who got pulled into the world of SEO about five years ago and never really left.

Since then I’ve worked with US agencies and brands across more than ten niches, helping their content get found, first on Google, and now in AI answers too. I care a lot about getting the small things right, which turns out to be most of what good SEO actually is.

Have a look around. The rest of this site shows what I do and the results it’s brought.

What I do

Five things, really, and they work best together.

SEO content and editing

Content written and edited around real search intent, so it reads well and ranks.

AEO and GEO

Optimizing not just for rankings, but for the answer box and the AI tools people now ask first.

Content strategy

The plan behind the content, so every page has a purpose.

Email marketing and automation

Email that nurtures leads and keeps your audience warm, set up to run on its own.

Platforms and automation

Hands-on work in the tools your business runs on, plus workflows that save hours.

Search changed. Your content should too.

People don’t scroll through ten blue links anymore. They read the answer at the top, often written by AI. So I write for all three at once, ranking on Google, becoming the featured answer, and getting cited as a source when AI replies. Same solid content, working in three places.

Articles I wrote, cited as sources in Google’s AI Overview.

Google AI Overview for a law school ranking query citing the article as a source
Google AI Overview for an LSAT query citing the article as a source
