SEO & AI SEO (GEO) Consultant in Lebanon

I’m Karim Muhtar, an SEO and AI SEO consultant based in Beirut, Lebanon. I help businesses get found on Google and get recommended by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity.

I’ve done SEO for clients in various domains, from restaurants and services businesses to proptech, healthcare, tech and fintech. Because I’m also a product design lead with 16+ years of experience, I make sure the traffic you get turns into customers. I work in English and Arabic.

What is GEO (generative engine optimization)?

More and more people ask AI assistants instead of searching Google. GEO, also called AI SEO, is the work of making sure those assistants know your business and recommend it when someone asks for what you offer.

It builds on good SEO, adding structured data, clear and consistent information about your business across the web, content that answers real questions directly, and mentions on sources AI tools trust.

Why you need SEO and GEO

  • Traffic that doesn’t stop when the budget does. Ads stop the moment you stop paying. Pages that rank keep bringing visitors for months and years.
  • Lower cost per customer over time. SEO takes an upfront investment, but each new visitor costs less as your rankings grow.
  • More trust. Many people skip sponsored results and click the organic ones, and an AI assistant’s recommendation carries even more weight.
  • You show up where people now search. Customers increasingly ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity for recommendations, where you can’t simply buy a place.
  • An asset you own. Rankings, content and authority stay with your business, unlike rented ad space.
  • Ads work better with it. SEO and ads aren’t either-or. A strong site also improves your ad results and lowers their cost.

Why work with an SEO specialist who’s also a product designer

  • Pages that rank and convert. As a UX expert, I can design and improve your pages so visitors turn into leads and customers, not just traffic.
  • Graphics when you need them. I can create the visuals your pages and content need, from page designs to social and blog graphics, with no extra designer to brief.
  • Web design and development in-house. As a web design and development specialist, I can fix technical issues and build new pages myself, not just report them to your developers.
  • One senior expert. You work directly with the SEO expert doing the work, not a junior account manager.
  • English and Arabic SEO. I optimize for both, which matters for businesses in Lebanon and the Gulf.

Industries I’ve done SEO for

Restaurants, services businesses, proptech, healthcare and medical, tech and SaaS, fintech, e-commerce, content sites, apps, and more.

How I work

  1. Audit: review your site, rankings, competitors and how AI assistants describe you today
  2. Research: find the searches and questions that bring you real customers
  3. Fix and optimize: technical fixes, on-page improvements and structured data
  4. Create and build authority: new pages and content, plus mentions and links from trusted sites
  5. Measure and report: track rankings, traffic, AI visibility and leads, then keep improving

Ways to hire me

  • Monthly SEO and GEO retainer: ongoing work on your rankings and AI visibility, with a 3-month minimum commitment
  • One-time audit or consultation: a full review of your site with a prioritized action plan, or a focused session on a specific question

SEO results build over time: search engines and AI assistants keep changing, competitors keep publishing, and your site needs regular content, fixes and new links to keep climbing. That’s why ongoing work runs monthly, with a minimum of three months to give it time to show results.

Frequently asked questions

How much does SEO cost in Lebanon?

It depends on your site and goals. I offer a monthly SEO and GEO retainer with a 3-month minimum, or a one-time audit or consultation. Send me a short brief and I’ll reply with a clear quote.

How long does SEO take to show results?

Quick fixes can help within weeks, but meaningful ranking and traffic growth usually takes three to six months, depending on your site and your competition.

Why is there a 3-month minimum?

Because SEO results build over time. Meaningful ranking and traffic growth usually takes three to six months, and search engines, AI assistants and competitors keep changing. Three months gives the work time to show real results. If you only need a review, a one-time audit is available.

Is SEO better than running ads?

They do different jobs. Ads bring traffic immediately but stop when you stop paying. SEO and GEO take longer, then keep bringing visitors at a lower cost. Most businesses do best with both, with SEO as the long-term foundation.

What’s the difference between SEO and GEO?

SEO helps you rank in search engines like Google. GEO, or AI SEO, helps AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity recommend you. Good SEO is the foundation for both.

Do you do Arabic SEO?

Yes. I optimize websites and content in both Arabic and English.

Can you guarantee first place on Google?

No honest SEO consultant can guarantee a specific position, because Google decides. What I can promise is a clear plan, proven methods and transparent reporting.

What do you need to get started?

Your website address, your main goals and who your customers are. A 20-minute call is usually enough to define the next steps.
