Mike Khaytman

I've worked in SEO for 13 years. These days most of my time goes into how AI search engines find and cite brands, and into building tools to measure it.

That includes LLM benchmarks, AI-visibility tracking, AI agents with long-term memory, and content workflows that check every claim against a source. Most of it runs on real client work.
