About Your Editor

Meet James Banks
I've been in SEO for 18+ years. I built one of the first AI SEO writing tools in mid-2023, before most of the industry was paying attention to how AI would change search. That early experimentation became Rankmax - and we've since generated over $20 million in revenue for clients with our AI SEO campaigns. I'm a Semrush Search Awards Finalist and have worked with multinational businesses across SaaS, eCommerce and professional services. Every fortnight, I share the insights I'm gathering from live client campaigns - the same strategies we use to get brands ranked across Google, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini & more.
