// approach

Organic growth is infrastructure, not a campaign.

Four principles behind the work. They're also the filter for whether an engagement will work.

01 · Systems > tactics

Compounding systems, not content calendars.

A repeatable production system matched to real search demand outperforms a publishing schedule. Tactics expire with the next algorithm update. Systems keep earning.

02 · Two surfaces, one foundation

Buyers search. They also ask a model.

Ranking is no longer the whole job. The same foundation that wins position one, clean structure, genuine authority, and content worth quoting, is what gets you cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews.

03 · Compound > delivery

Outputs that keep working after the invoice stops.

The measure of an engagement isn't how many pages shipped. It's how much of the channel still produces once the engagement ends.

04 · Scale with substance

Volume wins when every page earns its place.

Publishing at scale is the goal, and programmatic systems built on real data and real demand hold up across thousands of pages. Thin shells built to hit a number get wiped on the next core update and never get cited. Same volume, different foundation.

// services

Two ways to work together.

Pick the one that fits where you are. No tiers, no bundles, no add-ons.

01 · Retainer · Fractional SEO leadership Monthly retainer · selective intake

Sit inside your team as the organic growth lead.

Not a monthly package of deliverables. I own the organic channel end to end, strategy through shipping, and I'm accountable to the same numbers you are: qualified organic traffic, rankings on the queries that convert, and how often you show up when a buyer asks an AI model about your category. Direct access, weekly cadence, shipped output.

What that covers
  • — Search growth roadmapThe queries worth winning, sized by demand and buying intent, sequenced by what moves revenue soonest.
  • — AEO + GEO visibilityOwning snippets and answer boxes, and getting cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Tracked monthly against your competitors.
  • — Editorial engineBriefs, drafts, edits, publishing cadence. A content machine, not a content calendar.
  • — Technical SEO ownershipIndexation, crawl budget, core web vitals, schema, internal link graph.
  • — Programmatic page systemsProduction systems that scale to thousands of pages, indexed and defensible.
  • — Competitive intelligenceWho's winning your queries and your AI citations, why, and what to do about it.
  • — Team enablementWriters, engineers, and PMs leveled up on the workflow so the channel keeps running.
  • — Weekly readoutPlain English note: what moved, what didn't, what's shipping next week.
02 · Report · Paid research and audit By engagement · 3 to 4 weeks

A standalone, honest read on your organic channel.

For founders who want the truth before committing to anyone. A paid deliverable, no retainer attached. A bound report, walked through live, acted on by whoever you want. Whether you hire me afterwards is a separate decision.

What you get
  • — State of the channelWhere organic traffic comes from, what it converts, and where it leaks.
  • — Search demand mapWhere the volume and buying intent actually sit, and which of those queries you can realistically win.
  • — AEO + GEO visibility auditHow often you surface in featured snippets and answer boxes (AEO) and get cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews (GEO), measured against competitors.
  • — Programmatic opportunity mapWhere production driven pages would win. Sized, scoped, ranked.
  • — Competitive teardownTop 5 competitors, what's working, what to copy, what to ignore.
  • — Technical auditPrioritized blocker list with fix complexity and expected impact.
  • — 12 month blueprintThe roadmap. What to build, in what order, who's accountable.
  • — 90 minute walk throughLive, recorded. Bring the team. Ask anything.
// who this is for

Built for venture backed teams building things that matter.

This works best when the company already has a pulse: a real product, a real market, and a founder who wants organic growth treated like infrastructure.

Seed to Series B

Product is working. Now distribution needs to catch up. Organic should be pulling real demand, not vanity traffic.

Venture backed

Capitalized to build channels that compound instead of channels you rent by the click.

Mission driven founders

Building something that should exist. The kind of company where organic growth compounds because the story is real.

Sophisticated on strategy

You want a partner who ships, not a deck presenter. Weekly cadence, direct access, no handoffs.

// about

A decade in SEO. Now running Iron Index solo.

I'm Ramiz Islamovic, and I've spent ten years leading organic growth. In-house and agency side, building channels that had to produce without a safety net across competitive industries.

What I kept running into: founders who needed a real operator, not an agency relationship. Someone who understood that SEO isn't a service line. It's a compounding asset that either gets built right or gets rebuilt constantly.

That's what Iron Index is. One operator, accountable for one outcome: organic growth that keeps producing, across search results and the AI answers your buyers now read first.

// work with me

See if this is a fit.

Tell me where organic sits today: what's working, what isn't, and where you're invisible when buyers ask an AI model. If there's a fit, we'll go from there.
