About
Iqbal Singh has spent nine years in search and works on SEO automation at Uplift AI, with a background from IIT Delhi.
The articles cover the practical side of the work: keyword research and topic clusters, on-page and technical fixes, internal linking, Google Business Profile, and what it takes for a page to be quoted by ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI answers.
They also cover the agents doing that work — what can be handed to them, what still needs a person, and how to check either one.
Search changes quickly, and a post that was right last year can mislead this year, so every article shows when it was published and when it was last revised.
