Mielad Niekzad is the founder of AutomatedSEO and an SEO specialist. Before AutomatedSEO, Mielad built and launched multiple products and grew each one through organic search, earning large volumes of clicks from Google without leaning on paid acquisition.
That work is where AutomatedSEO comes from. The same process that grew those products (research the questions buyers actually ask, answer them better than anyone else, interlink every page and keep publishing) is what AutomatedSEO now runs for other sites every week.
Mielad writes about generative engine optimisation, content strategy, internal linking and technical SEO, and tests every tactic on live sites before recommending it.
