My story

My story

I started in 2020 as a content marketer at an agency in Eindhoven. Within a year it was clear I enjoyed the technical side most: how Google reads sites, what good internal structure looks like, why one page ranks and another doesn't.

I've been freelancing since 2019. The first two years as a web designer, but the more I worked with SEO, the more I specialised in it. It suited me better than web design. From 2024 I started researching GEO, well before the term became common. Since 2025 about half of my work is AI search optimization.

JSResults is not an agency. I take on two to three new clients per quarter, so I can execute each project myself. Short lines of communication, no project managers between us, and numbers that actually mean something.

How I work

How I work

Four steps, every time. So you always know where we stand.

1

Audit

Measure first, plan after. No work without a baseline.

2

Action plan

20 to 40 actions, ordered by return, not by difficulty.

3

Implementation

I execute or work with your team. Weekly check-ins.

4

Reporting

Monthly, with the metrics that matter. No vanity dashboards.
