# Ashikur Rahman (Ash)

> SEO and AI search optimization specialist. Ash helps doctors, lawyers, and local businesses get found in Google and get cited by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, on fast custom-built websites.

Ash (Ashikur Rahman) has worked in SEO since 2017 and runs a boutique, capped-client practice: he personally reviews every deliverable rather than handing accounts to a junior team. His focus is the overlap of classic search (Google rankings, the map pack, technical SEO) and AI search (getting recommended inside AI answer engines), backed by custom high-performance web design. He holds an LL.B and LL.M, which shapes how carefully he handles regulated niches like medicine and law.

This site is a single-brand portfolio and blog. Contact is handled over WhatsApp (fastest) or a contact form; there is no login, checkout, or account area.
