Who I Am
I'm Istiqur Rahman, a Remote SEO Consultant working with SaaS startups, eCommerce brands, and service companies. As a Remote GTM Manager, I also lead go-to-market strategy for solopreneurs and entrepreneurs who need expert-level SEO and marketing leadership without a full in-house team. For 18+ years, I've helped businesses turn traffic into paying customers — without wasting budget on marketing that looks busy but doesn't convert.
What I Do
As a Remote SEO Consultant, I combine technical SEO, conversion psychology, and AI-driven search optimization (GEO/AEO) to build growth systems that are measurable and sustainable, not short-term hacks. In my Remote GTM Manager role, I also design and develop websites — primarily WordPress and Webflow — that don't just look good, they convert.
Results I'm Proud Of
1. Scaled a Silicon Valley SaaS startup to 150K+ monthly users through organic strategies. 2. Took an Australian eCommerce brand from $0 to $184K/month in 10 months. 3. Grew a U.S. beauty brand from $2K to $161K/month through SEO + CRO. 4. Delivered sustained multi-year revenue growth for a Bangladeshi service company through ongoing web and marketing improvements.
What I Write About
On Medium, I share what actually works (and what doesn't) as a Remote SEO Consultant and GTM Manager:
1. Technical and semantic SEO 2. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and AI search visibility 3. Conversion rate optimization and landing page design 4. Remote team leadership for marketing and SEO functions 5. Building topical authority through content strategy
Background
My path here wasn't conventional. I trained as a pharmacist, earning a Master of Pharmacy after my undergraduate degree, before moving into web design, SEO, and digital marketing in 2008. That scientific background shaped how I work as a Remote SEO Consultant today — I treat SEO like a diagnosis-and-treatment process: identify the actual root cause of underperformance, test a hypothesis, measure results, and adjust.
No guesswork, no short-term hacks.
Who I Work With
I focus on solopreneurs, founders, and small-to-medium SaaS or eCommerce teams — people who need a Remote SEO Consultant and Remote GTM Manager they can trust, without the overhead of a full in-house department. If you're tired of marketing that looks busy but doesn't bring results, I'd like to help you build a system that actually works.
