Hi, I'm Abini Saji
SEO Expert in Dubai for Google & AI search
A Senior SEO Specialist with 7+ years of making brands the answer, on Google and inside AI search tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews.
From Kerala to Dubai, one ranking at a time.
I started in SEO in 2019 straight after my Master of Computer Applications, learning the craft on keyword research, meta tags and link building at Infozign Technologies in Kerala.
Over the next four years I moved from analyst to specialist, leading SEO for multiple client projects across IT, e-commerce, healthcare and real estate. In 2023 I moved to Dubai to lead end-to-end SEO at AUPS Education.
Today my focus is the shift to AI search: making sure brands don't just rank on Google, but get cited when people ask ChatGPT, Gemini or AI Overviews.

People also ask.
What is AEO and GEO, and why does my business need it?
AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) shapes your content so it's picked as the direct answer in featured snippets and voice search. GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) helps your brand get cited and recommended inside AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews. More buyers now ask AI before they click, so being the answer matters as much as ranking.
