Holistic SEO that connects rankings to revenue.
Hi, I'm Bahattin Kusaksiz — most people call me Baha. I help businesses build scalable organic growth systems through technical SEO, AI search visibility, automation, and data-driven experimentation.
Over the past 7+ years, I've worked with global brands, healthcare organizations, and ambitious startups. I don't just chase clicks — I connect search to what actually matters: revenue, brand visibility, and sustainable long-term growth.
Beyond consulting, I build AI-powered tools and experiment with ideas that push the future of organic growth. To me, SEO is an engineering discipline — driven by systems, experimentation, and measurable outcomes.

Why work with Baha?
Baha treats SEO as growth infrastructure, not a checklist, and he proves it with data, not vanity metrics.
He's a senior SEO consultant with 7+ years building organic growth systems for global brands. Every project is handled personally, end to end, with no outsourcing and no gap between strategy and execution.
What sets him apart is the breadth of what he actually measures and moves:
- Organic traffic: technical SEO, content architecture, and semantic systems that compound over time. Data-driven approach.
- LLM & AI search visibility: AI search optimization built for how people are increasingly discovering brands now, not just Google rankings.
- Brand visibility & external authority: the trust signals and third-party credibility that make a site worth ranking and worth citing.
- Conversions & revenue: qualified leads, sales, admissions, reported in the client's own business language, not SEO jargon.
The results speak for themselves across industries:
- A multi-location addiction treatment network saw +213% organic clicks and 17 admissions in 30 days, after Baha audited 600+ pages, pruned 516 thin posts, and implemented accurate schema markups.
- A US home textile Shopify store grew revenue by 47% in just 3 months through proper content, off-page strategy and semantic URL restructuring.
- A finance company reached #2 in rankings after a round of content pruning and an LLM & schema markup overhaul, quadrupling their revenue.
He works in two-week sprint cycles, so clients see measurable progress continuously instead of waiting months for a "foundation" to be built. He's also built custom tooling to run this rigor at scale, managing 40+ healthcare sites simultaneously at Brand North.
Bottom line: if you want someone who connects technical SEO, AI visibility, authority-building, and conversion data into one system, and can prove ROI in your language, that's the fit.

Custom tools and automations I've built
Off-the-shelf SEO platforms hit a ceiling when you need to attribute SEO work to revenue, audit content at scale, or monitor AI search citations. I built proprietary tools to fill the gaps.
LLM Visibility Tracker
Custom monitoring system for AI search citations
Tracks brand citations and share-of-voice across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews — surfacing not just whether a brand appears, but how accurately.
AI Traffic Dashboard
Custom analytics for AI-referral traffic
Shows how many referrals are arriving from each AI platform and which specific URLs AI users land on — likely one of the first tools in the SEO community to actually measure AI-driven traffic.
SEOinsight Explorer
Looker Studio + BigQuery + GSC + GA4 + GMB + Bing + CRM + Ahrefs
Proprietary BI platform that cleans and joins datasets, classifies pages and queries by topic cluster, models organic conversion pathways, and flags content decay early — before traffic drops.
Holistic SEO Tool
DataForSEO + Ahrefs API application
Tracks rankings across the SERP and Google Maps, generates semantically relevant keywords, analyzes competitors, and audits sites for technical issues — all in one integrated workflow.
Google Ads Audit Tool
Paid-media audit automation
Audits Google Ads campaigns and returns prioritized suggestions to improve performance — bringing the same data rigor to paid media as to organic.
Technical SEO Audit Automation
Screaming Frog + Claude API + Python pipeline
Runs scheduled site crawls, layers AI-driven content analysis on top of crawl data, and outputs prioritized issue reports — turning a multi-day manual audit into a one-click workflow.
Programmatic Schema Markup Generator
Template-driven JSON-LD generator for healthcare and local
Generates JSON-LD schema (MedicalClinic, LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, Breadcrumb, Review, Product) at scale rather than by hand, validating against Schema.org specs before deployment.
Multi-Client Agency Dashboard
Next.js application on Vercel
Unified dashboard pulling Search Console and GA4 data through a single Google API account across 30+ client properties, with custom logic for AI referral tracking and content-group performance.
Slack SEO Content Auditor
On-demand audit bot integrated with GSC, GA4, and Ahrefs
Pulls 90 days of data and classifies every page as KEEP / UPGRADE / DELETE based on traffic trends, non-Google sessions, and backlink equity. Prevents winning-content decay.
