Sound familiar?

You're here because one of these is true

01

You’re building organic growth from the ground up

You see the opportunity in SEO and AI search, but don’t want to waste months on disconnected tactics. You need strong foundations and a roadmap your team can execute.

02

You have traction, but growth still depends on a few wins

A handful of pages drive most of your results. You need to understand why they work, find the next opportunities, and turn isolated wins into dependable growth.

03

You’re investing in organic, but it isn’t pulling its weight

Your team keeps publishing, but the work feels disconnected from buyer intent and pipeline. Traffic is flat or slipping, and you’re not sure what’s holding it back.

04

You want to turn AI search into a growth channel

AI is already shaping which products buyers discover. Whether you’re investing early or seeing traction, you want to earn recommendations ahead of competitors and turn visibility into qualified demand.

Social proof

Here's what founders and marketing leaders say about my work

Talal was my immediate choice when we needed to align our site's copy with our new brand positioning. Beyond just delivering high quality work consistently, he became a true extension of our product marketing function when we needed the additional bandwidth the most. Working with him is a no brainer.

Director of Marketing, SpotDraft

Talal is in the top percentile of people I've worked with and would recommend him in a heartbeat. His best quality is his ability to deliver high-quality work in all areas. He's a strong writer, a deep systems thinker, and a thoughtful executioner.

Founder, Seedtable

Talal put together our top 100 list in a short period of time. I was blown away by his work ethic in making it happen, from start to finish.

Erik Torenberg

General Partner, a16z

Talal is that rare breed of marketer who can combine strategic thinking with strong execution. What impressed me most was his ability to take nebulous new initiatives from concept to reality, all while maintaining remarkable attention to detail. For founders and marketing teams looking for a senior IC who can truly accelerate growth, I highly recommend Talal.

Rui Nunes

Rui Nunes

VP of Marketing, Ascend FS

I've worked with lots of SEO agencies and consultants and Talal's experience, strategic mindset, and sense of urgency put him at the top of the heap. I have a lot of respect for his ability to turn search traffic into measurable revenue growth and ROI.

Mike Sonders

Mike Sonders

Head of Marketing, Rainforest QA

A recommendation doesn't go far enough: I am envious of the next team that gets to work with him, and the next founder who recruits Talal to share in their mission.

Podcast Lead, Turpentine

I've worked with Talal for over a year on content and SEO, and if you're a founder that needs to just hand over Marketing and have someone deliver, he's your guy.
