Good to know

Get to know me

What makes Phil different from other consultants?

I think things through from start to finish – from crunching large datasets with KNIME and Python to what the findings mean for your business model, always in second-order effects and consequences. And because I read constantly, I'm usually ahead of the curve on how SEO and GEO are evolving, and where Google, OpenAI and Anthropic are headed.

Why does Phil think reading is important?

My favorite quote: "Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders read." Reading is where the thinking starts for me – it compounds into better questions, sharper arguments and recommendations that hold up.

What should everyone read?

Anything, as long as it makes you think – my shelf mixes psychology, strategy and the occasional novel. Ask me for a recommendation and you'll get three, with reasons.

What's with the pizza oven?

My weekends belong to a backyard pizza oven. Like a good essay, good pizza rewards patience over shortcuts – high heat, honest ingredients, no tricks.

Editorial Director, one of the biggest SEO publications

"Once again, an amazing article. I enjoy the references from books and other media. A philosophical approach to SEO. It's written and structured well. Really, deservedly our Golden Boy (of SEO)."

Managing Director, a well-known SEO tool

"Just another banger of an article! Literally sent it to my boss. It's officially making rounds the organization."
