A decade in SEO across agencies and in-house roles, then a shift into AI-first search and community teaching. Now I build SEO tools for people who refuse to stack $400/month in enterprise subscriptions they barely use, and bundle them into one $27/mo community membership.
The SEO tool industry is built on enterprise pricing that locks small businesses, solo creators, and indie consultants out of the data they need. I have watched that pattern kill more ambitious projects than any Google update. DataWise is my answer: every tool you need to compete in modern AI-first search, bundled into one AI Ranking community membership from $27/mo.
I have worked in SEO for just over a decade. On the agency side at JTV Studios, and in-house at RedRock Venues and RPM Properties. That time gave me every angle: messy client accounts, venue and property sites with complex intent, and the slow grind of turning audits into real rankings.
I leaned hard into AI search the moment it started shifting how people actually find information. My take: AI SEO is not a separate discipline, it is good technical SEO done faster with automation and LLMs. That framing turned into dozens of TikToks showing real websites grow organically, week by week.
People watching the TikToks kept asking if I could teach this. I said yes, and we launched the AI Ranking Skool community. It grew into a room full of founders, consultants, and operators who wanted to learn modern SEO without the gatekeeping.
One message kept coming up in the community: "I want to do SEO properly, but Semrush and Ahrefs are way out of my budget." And honestly, those tools carry a lot of features most people never touch. Paying $500 a month for 5% of a dashboard makes no sense.
Instead of recommending tools nobody could afford, I built one from scratch. DataWise runs on the same enterprise data (DataForSEO), adds AI where it actually helps, and ships as a single unified workspace. Every community member gets the whole thing included with their membership.
AI Ranking is the Skool community where I break down AI-first SEO strategies, share weekly case studies, and give members unlimited access to every DataWise tool. One membership from $27/mo, 7-day risk-free trial, no stacked tool bills.
