About

Emad Sharaki

Senior SEO & GEO Strategist · Porto, Portugal

I specialise in Generative Engine Optimization for multi-market European e-commerce, on 12+ years in search. I run SEO and AI Visibility at AUTODOC SE, Europe's largest online auto-parts retailer, at €1.8B revenue and 9.3M active customers across 27 countries. Seven of those markets are mine: tracking brand visibility in six major LLMs and maintaining an internal database of 38+ verified AI crawlers.

Outside of that I run LearnGEO, a free 85-module course on Generative Engine Optimization. I speak regularly in the WordPress community, at WordCamp Porto and WordPress Day for Ecommerce, and Search Engine Journal featured my Looker Studio dashboard for BigQuery and Search Console analysis.
