Gert Mellak

I saw Gert at first on a webinar he gave. I typically last five minutes on these and then I bolt. I find the majority of these to be light on content and too pitchy. Not only did I stay for the entire episode, but I also got specific and actionable insight for improving my strategy. Then I had a call with Gert and found him willing to NOT be the solution I needed. That kind of forthrightness alone will make me recommend him anytime I have a client needing SEO or AEO leverage.

I met with Gert for about 20 minutes when I was feeling unsure about how to position my business online. He quickly reviewed what I had put together and gave me clear, concise feedback and a direction I could act on. Starting a business can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to get your messaging, website copy, marketing, and SEO aligned. I got tremendous value from that short conversation. If you’re building a business and need clarity on your next steps, I’d recommend talking with Gert.

Gert continues to be a helpful and leading authority on all things search. Looking forward to getting advice and consulting on AI, Search and more.

It's not easy to find someone who offers such clarity and transparency in a field as murky as digital marketing. Gert explains the steps you need to take, offers ideas, and gives you the assurance that you're dealing with someone who wants to help the client—not just make a sale.

I’ve been working with Gert for almost two years, and he has become the person I trust most when it comes to SEO, search strategy, and how AI is reshaping everything. Our calls cover everything from site migrations to platform strategy to the chaos of keeping up with AI, and he always cuts through the noise. When I’m stuck, he’s the one who helps me see the real path forward. He’s helped me move from being overwhelmed by a huge, messy site to having a clear plan for where to go next. He never sugarcoats anything. If something is going to be painful or complicated, he says it straight. But he also gives me options, context, and a way to think through major decisions without guessing. That mix has been priceless. I’ve worked with him both through SEO Leverage and through his Platform Leverage program. He’s helped me navigate complex SEO issues, major website changes, and how to actually show up across different platforms in a way that connects back to my brand. He understands the whole picture, not just SEO in a narrow sense. And honestly, on a personal level, I just enjoy talking with him. Our calls feel like catching up with a friend who also happens to be extremely sharp and genuinely invested in helping me get where I want to go. He never phones it in. Five stars, without hesitation.

Gert and the SEO Leverage team have been amazing to work with! They've been helping us for many years and it's been a great experience. They are professional and knowledgeable, and you can tell that they really care.

Gert is amazing and he truly knows his business. I am looking forward to hiring SEOLeverage soon for my new online business for them to do their magic and help me grow my business fast-er.

SEO Leverage has been a pleasure to work with! Over the last year of working with them they really helped us regain our SEO traffic back to where it was before, and then some. Their attention to detail and comprehensive approach to SEO left me feeling like I was always in good hands. Highly recommend!

Very helpful and generous SEO experts. SEO Leverage quickly pointed out one thing which could dramatically improve my business.
