About Freebird
Freebird leads the AI Search practice at XCL SEO, where he works on how brands earn citations in AI Overviews and assistant answers. His background is in technical SEO and content strategy, and most of his time is spent on the unglamorous half of the problem: making sure a site can be crawled, understood and quoted accurately. He writes the AI search coverage on the XCL journal and speaks regularly on generative engine optimisation.
“Being cited is not a ranking problem wearing a new hat. It rewards clarity and evidence in a way classic SEO never had to.”
