Novi Sad, Serbia · doing SEO since age 14
My name is Vuk, and I’ve been doing SEO for 15+ years.
…and in those 15 years I’ve done SEO at pretty much every level — from small businesses to enterprise — and in too many industries and verticals to list. I also built and co-owned an SEO tool, built and managed 10+ of my own content websites, worked in-house for a while, and was part of several SEO and marketing agencies.

Passionate about leveraging best-in-class, data-driven search methodologies to empower cross-functional stakeholders and unlock holistic, future-proof growth across the enterprise ecosystem. Proven track record of delivering end-to-end value at the intersection of people, process, and Core Web Vitals. Humbled and grateful to announce that I am open to new synergies. Agree?

About
If you care to know more about me
Now, why am I a special snowflake?
Well, besides all of my grandma’s claims, what I personally think makes me unique is the blend of work I’ve been lucky to do in my career. I had the immense pleasure of serving some amazing clients — but I also always dabbled in running my own SEO projects and building my own stuff.
Over the years, I built a whole host of websites. Many have failed and are no longer with us (God rest their souls), others have been sold, and some I still manage. For a while, I was also a co-owner of Linkter.ai, an AI internal linking software (that was not vibe-coded, btw). All of that forced me to step outside of SEO: learn more about other marketing strategies, learn design, analytics, dev, how to crochet… wait, not that last one.
Outside of that, I pride myself on my work ethic, my discipline, and my approach to SEO — and on the fact that I absolutely enjoy what I do. I take great pleasure in ranking websites and competing in search.

Projects I worked on for my clients

B2B · Industrial parts manufacturer
$1M+
a month in organic revenue
68,000 URLs. Fewer than 8,000 mattered.
The site had around 68,000 indexable URLs, and fewer than 8,000 of them meant anything to the business. Crawl budget was a mess, generic category and product names were competing with entirely the wrong industries, the product grid was rendered in JavaScript, and the analytics layer was under-reporting organic revenue by a meaningful margin.
What I did
A full architecture rebuild, crawling and indexing cleanup, migration to server-side rendering, keyword mapping across thousands of pages, and an automated content pipeline written in Python.

organic traffic
Same pages. Four times the sales.
The brand couldn’t crack the top 3 for the keywords that actually sold product. Rankings started moving within two months; by month eight they held nearly 75% of their top-3 positions.
What I did
A site-wide internal linking campaign, a complete collection-page makeover, and deleting roughly 30% of the pages that were cannibalising each other.

organic revenue in six months
Flat for years. Then, six months.
A deep product range and a flat organic line, the kind that makes a store owner conclude that SEO “doesn’t work for us”. It did.
What I did
Technical foundation work, category-page optimisation, a product-page rebuild, and a domain authority and brand-building push.

While I was the lead in charge of 100s of projects, successful SEO often takes a village. I would never have been able to deliver half of what I did without the developers, designers, writers, project managers and other people pushing a lot of projects forward with me.
Kind words
People who are happy that they’ve worked with me
(no arms were twisted in gathering these)
Vuk is one of the sharpest SEO/AEO specialists I've worked with — deeply knowledgeable, always a step ahead on where search is heading, and just a joy to collaborate with. Responsive, easy to talk to, and genuinely fun to work with on any project.
Vukasin is the best SEO guy I have ever worked with. He has a very strong understanding of SEO and how it correlates to our business expectations, and hardly needed any guidance on what we wanted done. Highly recommended!
An amazing SEO consultant whose knowledge goes beyond surface level. He's able to outsmart the thousand SEOs who are just looking at what everyone else is doing.
Vuk exceeded expectations with his thorough, data-driven SEO audit. Everyone was very impressed with the quality of Vuk's work, his thoughtfulness and clear expertise. Plus, he's easy to work with, delivers on what he says he's going to deliver, and goes above and beyond.
I'm impressed with the work he has put in to help me form my SEO strategy. Knowledgeable about the industry, timely with his work and generous with his advice.
Vuk provides a really wonderful alternative to larger agencies. The results I got from working with him definitely rival what I've gotten from larger, US-based SEO agencies.

Who am I in real life?
(you know, outside of SEO, when touching grass)
Well, I literally like to touch grass. As much as I can. Hiking, playing sports, that’s my jam.
I also love watching sports, and I’m a huge Premier League fan (that’s soccer, for those of you who don’t know).
I try to live a very simple life, built around doing enjoyable and meaningful work, spending time with friends and family, and taking it easy.
padel on fake grass. still counts.

Tell me what you’re trying to rank for, what’s broken, or which Premier League club you support. (That last one affects nothing. Probably.)
