About Linkrel

SEO that still works when the searcher is a model

Linkrel Agency is a technical SEO and AI Search (GEO/AEO) practice built around one idea: visibility now means two things at once — ranking in Google, and being cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. Here's who runs it, how the work is structured, and what to expect.

The person behind the audits

Milya has spent the last decade in SEO and content — first as a specialist, then leading SEO and content teams, and eventually building Linkrel Agency around a gap she kept running into: most SEO work still treats "search" as if Google were the only reader. It isn't anymore.

Her background spans fintech, e-learning, and EdTech, working both in-house and as a consultant — building content strategy from the ground up, repositioning existing blogs from pure traffic channels into assets that AI models actually read and cite, and running technical audits that go past the standard checklist into indexation, structured data, and llms.txt-level detail.

Why GEO/AEO, specifically

Generative Engine Optimization and Answer Engine Optimization are the practice of making content legible and citable to language models, not just crawlable by search bots. It's a newer discipline, which means most agencies are still applying 2019-era SEO thinking to a search landscape that includes AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity as first-class surfaces. Linkrel treats that as the core of the work, not an add-on.

How she works with clients

Direct, hands-on, and allergic to filler decks. Every engagement starts with a real audit — not a templated one — and every recommendation comes prioritized by expected impact, so teams know what to fix first and why.

How the work is structured

A simple loop: understand where you stand, fix what matters most, then keep compounding.

01

Audit

Technical SEO and AI search visibility diagnostic. Indexation, structure, E-E-A-T, and citability in AI answers, reviewed and prioritized.

02

Strategy

A roadmap built around what will actually move the needle first, sequenced against your team's capacity and the platform's constraints.

03

Execution

Either hands-on management from Linkrel, or consulting support for your in-house team as they implement — your choice of how involved you want us to be.

04

Iterate

Ongoing tracking of organic and AI search visibility, with the plan adjusted as platforms, algorithms, and models shift.

Frequently asked

The questions that come up before a first call.

What exactly is GEO/AEO, and do I need it?

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) are about making your content easy for AI models to read, understand, and cite — separate from, but related to, classic SEO. If any share of your prospects research using ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overviews, this already affects you, whether or not you've measured it yet.

What's included in an SEO & AI Search audit?

A full technical review (indexation, crawlability, site structure, Core Web Vitals), a content and E-E-A-T assessment, and an AI-visibility check covering how your pages show up — or don't — in AI answers, plus structured data review. You get a prioritized action plan, not a raw list of every possible issue.

How long until I see results?

Technical fixes can show up within weeks. Content and authority-driven growth typically takes a few months to become visible in both organic rankings and AI citations. Anyone promising overnight results in either channel isn't being straight with you.

Do you work with early-stage startups, or only established companies?

Both. Early-stage teams usually start with an audit and strategy to avoid building on the wrong foundation; established companies more often move straight into consulting or ongoing management to fix and scale an existing setup.

Can you work alongside our in-house marketing or dev team?

Yes, this is common, especially for consulting engagements. Linkrel can set direction and review implementation while your team executes, or take on execution directly if that's a better fit for your capacity.

What if my industry isn't on the primary list?

B2B, SaaS, Fintech, EdTech, and e-learning are where Linkrel has the most direct case history, but other industries are taken on a case-by-case basis. Send over the context and we'll give you a straight answer on fit before any commitment.
