Hi, I'm Dima. I've Been Helping Businesses Get Found Online Since 2012.
I'm Dmytro Verzhykovskyi. Most people call me Dima. I'm an SEO and digital marketing consultant based in Irvine, California. For the past 14 years, I have helped businesses get found on Google, show up on Maps, and, more recently, get recommended by AI search platforms like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews.
I work with each client directly. No agency team. No junior staff. Just me, doing the work.
How I Got Here
I started in digital marketing in 2012, working with brands across international markets. My early career was shaped by the luxury industry, managing SEO and paid search campaigns for high-end brands in Dubai and the Middle East, including Solomia Home and Antonovich Design. Competing in the luxury furniture and interior design market taught me that SEO is not about tricks or shortcuts. It is about building real authority in spaces where the competition has deep pockets and high standards.
The work I am most proud of is what I did for Solomia Home, a luxury furniture brand in Dubai that had zero online presence when we started. No organic traffic. No search rankings. No visibility at all. Within 12 months, Solomia Home achieved global organic visibility in one of the most competitive luxury markets in the world. The ECDMA Global Awards jury recognized this work with Gold for Best SEO Professional in 2025, judged by 80+ independent international experts across 350+ applications from 30+ countries.
Today I am based in Irvine, California, working with businesses across the United States and internationally. My focus has expanded beyond traditional SEO to include Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), helping businesses get cited and recommended by AI search platforms, not just ranked on Google. Search is changing fast. I make sure my clients are visible wherever people look for answers.
How I Work
You work with me directly. Every strategy, every optimization, every report comes from me personally. There are no account managers relaying messages. No junior analysts doing the actual work while a senior person shows up for meetings. The person you talk to is the person doing the work. That is the entire point.
No long-term contracts. I work on month-to-month terms for ongoing services. Clients stay because the work delivers results, not because a contract prevents them from leaving. I have maintained a 100% client retention rate on month-to-month terms. That number is the only proof of quality that matters to me.
Plain language, not jargon. My reports explain what happened and what it means in terms you care about: rankings, traffic, leads, and revenue. If a metric matters, I explain why. If it does not matter, it stays out of the report. No "impressions increased 14.7%" without context.
I tell you the truth. If SEO is not the right investment for your situation right now, I will say so. If Google Ads would produce faster results for a specific goal, I recommend that instead. Honest advice, even when it means recommending less of my own services.
Patience and foundation over shortcuts. I keep a planted freshwater aquarium at home using a method called Father Fish, an approach built on patience, natural balance, and letting the ecosystem develop over time instead of forcing results with expensive equipment. I think about SEO the same way. Build the right foundation, give it time, and the results will be natural and lasting. No shortcuts. No tricks. No tactics that need to be undone later.
