Helping companies build organic visibility across the full search ecosystem — Google, ChatGPT, AI overviews, and wherever else their buyers are looking. Most companies still treat SEO as a blog + backlinks operation. I help them think bigger than that. Organic visibility in 2026 means showing up across surfaces: search, AI overviews, Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube. That takes more than just a content calendar. https://devanshmalik.com/

Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Joined when AI was disrupting search and organic traffic was declining. Figured out what content looks like when users stop clicking Google search links. Increased conversation on existing traffic to free resources by 5x and rebuilt the content engine for long-term growth. Also built AI-assisted content workflows that scaled output from 4-6 to 25-30 articles a month.

About

I help companies build content that gets found organically across the search ecosystem. Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI overviews, or wherever search is headed next. Most companies treat traditional SEO and AI search as two separate problems. I don't think they are. Not entirely, anyway. The content that ranks on Google and the content that gets cited by AI have a lot in common. It answers real questions. It has a point of view. It's not something you can generate with a prompt. Eight years of content marketing has taught me that the best content never starts with keyword tools. It starts with understanding how buyers think, how they talk, what they're trying to figure out, and where they go to find answers. When I’m not working, I write a newsletter called That's Baffling. Stories from history and science that most people have never heard of. Check it out here: thatsbaffling.substack.com If you want to think through your organic strategy or just talk about where search is heading, feel free to reach out.
