I'm John (or Johnny) to most people, except when I've done something controversial, then it's John B. Martyn, full name, like I'm ten years old again.
Jokes aside, I write every word that goes out under my name: the strategy, the copy, the pages themselves.
And for SEO, GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) which is basically, a term where it pushes your online content so AI tools can recognize it …
Well for that, I bring in a small group of Specialists who have experiences amplifying over 100+ Sites.
Meaning you deal with one person, and expect the finest quality of work from start to finish.

John B. Martyn writes the content and copy across every project himself, and handles much of the SEO and GEO strategy directly, including social media and cold email execution. A trusted technical team he's worked with for years handles the rest: the technical side of SEO and website development. You deal with one point of contact from start to finish.
Content strategy and copywriting, SEO and GEO visibility, website development, social media content, and cold email marketing. I also can assist with paid ads.

GEO, short for Generative Engine Optimization, is the version of SEO built for AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. It's about structuring content so those tools can actually recognize it, understand it, and pull it into their answers. I treat it as a layer on top of regular SEO, not a replacement for it.
What I offer are content writing services built to hold attention, not just fill space. That means clear structure, cutting repetitive phrasing, and matching your brand's tone so the whole site sounds like one person wrote it. Content marketing isn't a small detail either: 76% of B2B marketers say it generates real demand and leads for their business (source: DemandSage, 2026 Content Marketing Statistics).
That's the whole point, so yes. Every project starts with understanding your audience's actual hesitations and habits before a single line gets written, then matching your specific tone, vocabulary, and the phrases your own customers already use, so the finished copy reads like someone on your team wrote it, not a template run through a prompt.
Every 3 to 6 months is a good baseline for most service pages and blog posts. Search engines and AI answer engines both favor pages that show recent, accurate signals over content that has gone stale, and pages tied to fast moving topics, like SEO or AI search itself, are worth checking closer to every 60 to 90 days.
Both, and most projects are actually a mix of the two. I tighten and correct the structure of pages that already exist while writing new pages from scratch to fill the gaps your competitors are already ranking for. Your core message and brand voice stay intact either way, nothing gets rebuilt from zero unless you want it to.
It's backed by real numbers, not a sales line. Content marketing generates roughly three times as many leads as traditional outbound marketing, at about 62% less cost per lead, based on 2026 industry benchmark data comparing inbound and outbound acquisition across B2B companies.
Yes, and that's the specific goal of the SEO and GEO side of what I do: getting the same page ranked in Google's results and recognized by AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's own AI Overview at the same time. I lead the strategy myself, and a trusted technical team handles the implementation, instead of treating AI visibility as an afterthought bolted on later.
No, and that approach stopped working years ago. Google's own ranking systems, and the AI tools built on top of search data, weigh how directly and completely a page answers one real question over how many times a keyword phrase gets repeated, which is why forced repetition now reads as a red flag, not a ranking signal.
No. What changed is where people search. Google still sends real traffic, but AI tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overview now answer questions directly, which means content also has to be structured so those tools can cite it. That's what GEO adds on top of regular SEO, not a replacement for it.
No, it works alongside SEO rather than instead of it. SEO earns a page its place in traditional search results, rankings, and clicks. GEO earns that same page a citation inside an AI generated answer from tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overview. Most sites competing seriously in 2026 need both running together, not one traded for the other.
SEO is built for search engine result pages, rankings, clicks, traffic. GEO is built for AI systems that summarize and cite sources directly in a conversational answer. The content overlaps a lot, but GEO leans more on clear structure, direct answers, and genuine expertise a language model can recognize and trust.
ChatGPT can help with SEO tasks like brainstorming topics or drafting outlines, but it can't replace a real strategy grounded in your actual audience, your actual site, and real search data. It's a tool, not a substitute for a person who knows your business.
I work with a small team genuinely skilled at web development, and together we handle website design for SEO from the first wireframe, not bolted on after launch, so the site looks good and performs in search from day one. I stay the single point of contact throughout, so you're not managing multiple vendors on your own.
Six months is the maximum. Most of the time it happens sooner, but I won't let it drag past that window. Optimization isn't a one time task either. I keep an eye on it after launch instead of treating the site as done the day it goes live.
It's more than page speed and SEO basics. I also check a client's social media presence to make sure local SEO is working alongside the site, and in the age of AI search, there's a longer list of factors than there used to be. I'm picky about this part on purpose. I'd rather spend more time researching what actually affects visibility than ship something that looks fine but underperforms.
It's not a separate step. The strategy and keyword targeting come first, then the site architecture gets built around exactly what's meant to rank, down to which pages link to which and where each target phrase actually lives, so nothing gets squeezed into a template after the writing is already done.
Yes. The goal is content that sounds like an actual person wrote it that day, not something mass scheduled a month in advance or generated by AI with no editing pass, since audiences and platform algorithms both increasingly penalize the difference between the two.
More than most people expect, yes. A client's social presence is one of the signals checked as part of local SEO work, since consistent activity and engagement now factor into how both Google and AI search tools judge whether a business is real, active, and worth citing.
Yes, but only when they're written with care and sent with an actual purpose. Industry wide, around 95% of cold emails get zero replies, and generic templates typically pull only a few percent in reply rate. Personalized outreach can push that closer to 18% (source: cold email benchmark data, 2026).
Always, every single time. You review and approve the tone, structure, subject lines, and full content of every sequence before a single email goes out to a real prospect, and nothing changes mid campaign without you seeing it first.
Established, reputable platforms like Instantly and Woodpecker, the same tools serious outbound teams use to protect domain reputation. No spam software, no scraped lists, and no shortcuts that put your sending domain at risk of landing in spam instead of the inbox.
Usually within the first two to three weeks, as long as the targeting is tight and the list is small enough to be genuinely researched rather than mass purchased. Campaigns that skip that research step take longer to show results, if they show real results at all.
Yes, that's a significant part of who I work with, alongside small service business owners. The goal with every campaign is starting real conversations that turn into calls, not just increasing send volume for its own sake, since a smaller, well researched list consistently outperforms a large generic one.
