ABDUL SUBKHAN.
Search is changing.
So is what it takes to be found.
I help businesses

name that
comes up.
On Google. In AI answers.
Where your next customer is looking.

Search is my craft.
Curiosity is how
I got here.
I’m Abdul, an AI SEO strategist and the founder of CiteVantage. I work on how businesses get found, understood and referenced by search engines and AI assistants.
My approach is hands-on: build, test, investigate and improve. The strategy is only as good as the work that follows it.
