About

Journalist turned AI, GEO & Digital PR specialist.

I'm Rakibul Hasan Razu, an AI, GEO & Digital PR specialist from Bangladesh working with brands worldwide. I help companies get found everywhere their customers look: Google, AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity, and the publications they trust.

My path into search started in newsrooms. Years as a freelance journalist and later as a chief editor taught me what makes a story worth covering, which is exactly what Digital PR and AI citations run on today. Add a decade of sales, brand and agency leadership, and you get a strategist who cares about one thing: results you can take to the bank.

A dreamer at heart, I love turning creative ideas into real, meaningful work.
