Office
Nordica Marketing, Chicago, IL

I have worked in SEO since 2007. In that time search went from ten blue links to answers written by AI, and the work went from ranking pages to being the source those answers cite. Nordica Marketing is the agency I founded to do that work for e-commerce, DTC, SaaS and B2B brands, judged by organic revenue rather than traffic.

Nordica owns and runs its own e-commerce brands using the same frameworks it deploys for clients. We operate like owners, not advisors, and that changes what we are willing to recommend.

Maark.ai grew out of the agency. It is the platform we built so AI agents can do the heavy lifting in SEO and AI visibility, from keyword research and content to links and tracking citations in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, inside a pipeline a human controls.

Expertise

What I can speak to

Point of view

How I think about it

Agencies should operate like owners, not advisors.

Nordica owns and runs its own e-commerce brands using the same frameworks it deploys for clients.

Revenue first, not vanity metrics.

Judge SEO by organic revenue, not just traffic or rankings.

AI search is now part of search.

Treat GEO and AI visibility as core SEO, not a separate workstream.

AI agents work alongside human strategists.

They can run continuous SEO optimization next to a human team, not replace it.
