AI is now the first salesperson your prospect meets. I make premium brands the answer it gives.

Trusted across luxury, enterprise, and high-growth.
You spend six figures — sometimes seven — on ads, content and SEO to get prospects to your door. They land. They read. They leave.
Your team chases them. Some come back. Most don't. And you never learn why.
Here's what's actually happening: your prospect leaves your site and asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI what to do next. Your brand isn't in the answer. A competitor's is. And while your follow-up waits for someone to get to it tomorrow, the decision gets made somewhere else.
You didn't build the wrong product. You built the wrong follow-up.
Not just Google. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, AI Overviews. I wire SEO + GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) so that when a buyer asks an AI "where should I invest in Mexico City?" or "best premium gift whisky?", your brand is the sourced answer — earned, not paid.
The moment a prospect lands, an AI-human follow-up system wired to your CRM qualifies them, answers, and books the call — on your brand, around the clock. No form abandonment. No "we'll get back to you." No lost weekend leads.
As the marketing engine behind Vive Polanco — branded residences incl. Ritz-Carlton, Park Hyatt, Armani, Mercedes-Benz Places. SEO + GEO, now layered with AI follow-up.
Against a $1.79B pipeline. Organic + earned AI placement.
Rebuilt after a domain migration (prior engagement). SEO recovery + entity re-establishment.
An online entertainment brand — 369K clicks on 425K impressions. The CTR is the tell: most chase impressions; this is demand actually captured.
Stax Payments (U.S. fintech). Competitive SEO + schema.
Enterprise SEM/SEO results (agency years).
Luxury branded residences · $1.79B pipeline · 12-month snapshot · $104M closed, 41% from organic
World-class branded residences (Ritz-Carlton, Park Hyatt, Armani, Mercedes-Benz Places — all through Vive Polanco), finite supply, global buyers — but the properties weren't ranking, and the handoff from web lead to broker was slow.
(1) Organic discovery — entity + schema optimization per property/neighborhood/brand so each appears in Google and AI answers. (2) Earned AI placement — repositioned content so the residences are sourced in AI Q&A. (3) AI follow-up — a trained AI agent wired to the sales CRM for same-day qualification and broker handoff.
$104M in luxury sales in 12 months; 41% of closed deals sourced from organic + earned AI placement; follow-up shifted from next-day to same-day.
Premium FMCG / e-commerce · full domain migration · new domain climbing, quality up
The brand moved its store to a new domain and took the expected post-migration organic cliff — the old domain's search traffic fell off at the switch, and the new domain started from zero.
(1) Entity re-establishment + schema so search engines treat the new domain as the successor. (2) GEO + intent-led content so it ranks for warmer, higher-intent queries. (3) AI inquiry-capture + follow-up wired to the CRM.
Within ~8 weeks the new domain rebuilt to 35.4K clicks / 492K impressions, on a clean upward trajectory — and the quality jumped vs the old domain: CTR 4% → 7.2%, average position 21.4 → 9.1. Climbing, not just recovered.

Global brands — Audi, Allianz, Coca-Cola, Shell, Volkswagen — were paying legacy-agency rates for slow, committee-driven SEM/SEO.
I ran the search + paid-media execution directly — tight SEM, conversion optimization, and SEO against a single revenue metric per brand, and trained the wider agency group (incl. Ogilvy sister teams).
Audi — 1,600 units sold (SEM); Allianz — 2× policy volume; plus search/growth work for Coca-Cola, Shell, Volkswagen and GoShop (RM1.5M+/mo). Same operator instinct — now rebuilt around AI.
I've done this for 18 years — digital marketer, then strategist, then systems-builder. I served in the US Army, where I learned to do more with less: strip a thing to what works, cut the rest, mission first. Every system I build carries that.
I'm AI-native in a way most 18-year veterans aren't — I came up before AI, then rebuilt my whole toolkit around it. SEO and AI-answer placement. Follow-up and 24/7 conversion. Automation and human nuance. You don't hire me for a tactic; you hire me for the judgment of which problem to solve first.
Most of what you've built shouldn't exist. Your CRM is half-configured, your automation has dead branches, your follow-up waits on an inbox notification. You're paying for complexity and getting friction.
Everyone says scale — hire more, bigger team. The real edge is less: fewer tools, fewer handoffs, fewer people between the prospect and the decision.
I believe a company that uses AI beats an AI company. You're not in the AI business — you're in real estate, beverages, fintech. AI is the accelerant, not the product. And I believe second-order problems pay better than first-order ones: everyone sees the lead problem; the money is in the follow-up nobody fixed.
The best marketing is invisible. You don't see the system working. You just see the revenue.
We are a very small company (less than 10 employees) and the result of having Phillip on our side has kept us healthy. He is absolutely amazing when it comes to SEO and understanding of our needs. My personal mantra is to work with the best ... and we are happy we found Phillip. Best move we have made.
Phill is an excellent freelancer. He is experienced, intelligent, honest and reliable. He built out a fantastic, detailed automation for me with very little input needed from me.
No one-size retainers. No six-month contract that goes sideways at month two.
A defined outcome on your own data — fixed price, timeline, deliverable. Proof before commitment; the fee credits toward setup if you proceed.
A setup fee to wire the system right (CRM, AI follow-up, schema, content), de-risked with a conditional guarantee — hit the agreed target or I keep working until we do.
Once it's proven, I move to revenue-share. I make money when you do.
The best time to fix follow-up was yesterday. The second-best is now. Grab 20 minutes — we'll map where your leak is, what a dialed-in system looks like for your business, and whether it's a fit. No pitch, no pressure — just clarity.
