    About Salman

    Salman is an SEO and online reputation management specialist with over 10 years of experience across technical audits, on-page and off-page SEO, content strategy, and keyword research. His background spans agency and in-house roles across SaaS, ecommerce, and enterprise accounts, moving from hands-on SEO execution through to leading teams and managing client strategy directly.

    As search shifts from traditional results toward AI-generated answers, Salman has spent recent years focused on that transition specifically — implementing AI and generative search optimisation (GEO/AEO) alongside the technical SEO fundamentals that still sit underneath it. He co-founded The Crawl Space Digital to bring that same combination of technical grounding and forward-looking search strategy into the site's research and client work.
