SEO specialist who sees a website as a growth system, not just a collection of pages
My name is Timur Bondarenko. I have worked in SEO since 2016 and have experience in technical leadership,
building SEO strategies, managing teams, and growing websites across different niches — from business,
healthcare, and e-commerce to affiliate, local, and content-driven projects.
My focus is structure, content, E-E-A-T, trust signals, internal website logic,
and preparation for the new search model, where not only Google rankings matter,
but also AI visibility in Gemini, AI Overviews, and other AI systems.
At a glance
- 7+ years of SEO practice
- Technical Lead SEO in a digital team
- 70+ projects across different niches
- managed 2 Middle SEO specialists and 1 Junior
- SEO speaking experience, including SEO Hub
I do not work by the principle of “let’s run an audit and see”
Over the years, I have seen the same problem again and again: many websites do not grow not because
they “need more SEO”, but because they do not have a system. They lack a clear structure, priorities,
content logic, understandable page architecture, and a trust layer that strengthens confidence in the brand.
That is why I see a website as an asset. For me, it is important not just to hand over a list of recommendations,
but to build a growth model: which pages are actually needed, how they connect to each other,
what should be implemented first, and what will realistically drive results.
In 2026, one more layer is added to this — AEO. It is no longer enough to simply be present in Google.
A website needs to be structured, understandable, and trustworthy enough to be used
by AI systems as a source of answers. That is why I work at the intersection of SEO, content, E-E-A-T, and AI visibility.

This is not just theory. It is practice, strategy, teamwork, and dozens of real projects.

forecasting results, and both on-page and off-page optimization.

Full-cycle SEO work: from pre-launch briefs for new websites
to technical and search optimization for Google and Yandex.
Where my main focus is
I do not try to be “everything for everyone”. My strongest work is where systematic growth logic is needed.
Website structure
URL logic, page types, clusters, internal linking, and scaling architecture.
Content
Pages that cover intent, build topical authority, and support business results.
E-E-A-T
Author pages, policy pages, trust blocks, reliability signals, and stronger site trust.
AEO
Preparing structure and content for AI extraction, FAQ, entities, answer-first blocks, and AI visibility.
What I rely on in my work
- Google Search Console, GA4, GTM, Ahrefs, Semrush, Screaming Frog, Serpstat, Netpeak Spider
- analysis of website structure, search intent, content gaps, and competitor models
- hands-on work with on-page and off-page SEO, internal linking, metadata, robots.txt, and sitemap.xml
- experience with briefs, semantics, technical audits, analytics, and forecasting results
- focus on implementable solutions, not “nice PDFs without execution”
Typical tasks
The website is not growing
There is traffic, but it has stalled or is declining. The goal is to find the systemic reason, not just “add more SEO”.
A new structure is needed
The website feels thin, does not cover intent, or lacks a sufficient number of strong landing pages.
AI search preparation is needed
The brand needs a stronger presence in Gemini, AI Overviews, and other AI answers through structure, content, and trust.
What else is worth knowing
Work across different markets
I have experience with technical audits and SEO tasks for Western markets, which gives me a broader view of structure and competitive environments.
Practical, not “theoretical” SEO
For me, the priority is not pretty reports, but what can actually be implemented and scaled.
SEO and AEO together
I see SEO and AEO not as separate services, but as one integrated visibility growth system for the brand.
Need a specialist who looks not only at rankings, but at the entire growth system of the website?
If you need not a chaotic list of fixes, but a clear development logic across SEO, E-E-A-T, and AEO — send me a message.
