The team

The People Behind microSEO

microSEO was built by two people who have navigated every major search shift since the 1990s, and it is run by a team built like an AI company, not a traditional agency. Here is who is behind it, and how we are put together.

microSEO is currently in private beta with a small group of companies and SEO professionals. Schedule a strategy call to start now, or join the waitlist to be first in line when we open more broadly.
Founders

The two people who built it

Chris Raulf
Founder and CEO

Chris created microSEO and is the AI SEO and generative engine optimization authority the whole methodology is built on. He got into search in the 1990s, back in the AltaVista days before Google was even called Google, coming at it from an international and multilingual angle. Originally from Basel, Switzerland, and in Boulder since 1996, he went on to found Boulder SEO Marketing and become one of the most recognized voices in AI SEO and GEO in the world. He is a brand ambassador for SE Ranking, a lecturer in the University of Strasbourg’s TCLoc Master’s program, and a regular speaker at conferences from Berlin to Barcelona to Shanghai. The thinking inside microSEO is the methodology he has spent nearly three decades refining.

Daniel Burns
COO

Daniel built the microSEO platform and runs the company’s operations. He spent 20 years running a web design agency and has nearly three decades in digital marketing, so he understands both the technology and the reality of delivering client work at scale. He is the one who turns strategy into working systems, which is exactly why microSEO solves real operational problems instead of just generating content.

How we are built and run

An AI company, structured like one

microSEO is more than its two founders, and the way we are organized is itself the proof of the pivot we made. We are built like an AI company, not a traditional agency.

The AI Department

At the core is our AI Department, a team of four full-time developers who build and continuously improve the microSEO platform. This is where the strategy and the methodology get turned into working software, and it is why the system keeps getting more capable month after month. Most agencies do not have a development team. We are one first.

Strategy and delivery

On the client side, a head digital strategist leads the thinking and oversees a team of account managers, project managers, and project coordinators. The strategist sets the direction for each engagement. The project managers and coordinators run the day-to-day, so content keeps moving and nothing falls through the cracks.
Put it together and that is the whole idea. Senior strategy sets the course, a dedicated team executes it with the platform doing the heavy lifting, and a human always stays in the loop, because strategy is judgment, not output. When you work with microSEO, that is the team behind you.
