About

The long version.

Tsvetan Velichkov is Partner and Head of SEO at Haide Digital. He has spent 14 years in search, working his way from specialist to director across marketing firms, in-house teams, and his own consulting practice. At Uptick Marketing, a US digital marketing company, he owned the full organic program, running end-to-end SEO for 40+ clients across healthcare, finance, ecommerce, and B2B services: technical SEO, site architecture, schema, migrations, content roadmaps, and CRO.

His work runs on data and finishes what it starts. The numbers show it: a medical practice grown from 5,000 to 32,000 monthly organic clicks, a regional bank's service-page conversions lifted 105% without a single extra visitor, a multi-state land brokerage taken from 6,000 to 14,000 monthly clicks during a website launch. A growing share of his practice is GEO and AEO, engineering client visibility in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude, with several clients now closing leads sourced from AI platforms.

At Haide Digital, Tsvetan owns SEO delivery across the client portfolio: technical SEO, six-month content sprints, GEO strategy, and programmatic SEO for clients across gaming and service industries. He builds his own agentic AI workflows with Claude and Claude Code, and has trained SEO cohorts at Advance Academy, because a system a client can understand is a system a client can own. He works from Varna, Bulgaria.
