Authority44 and OGO1
Built Authority44, an AI authority scoring platform measuring 63 signals across four dimensions. Followed by OGO1, the remediation platform that implements the fixes.

I started in digital before most people knew what a search engine was. C64 at home, school computer club, early TCP/IP via AARNet, the kind of foundation that shapes how you think about systems and data for the rest of your career.

Over two decades of client work across Australia and internationally has produced a simple conviction: most SEO work fails because it focuses on tactics rather than understanding what search engines are actually trying to do. Google isn't trying to rank keywords. It's trying to identify trusted, authoritative sources for specific topics. That's a different problem with a different solution.

The shift to AI search, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, accelerates this. AI systems don't rank pages. They build entity models: who knows what, how consistently they present it, whether others reference them as a reliable source. The businesses that understand this early are building an advantage that will compound for years.

I keep current through forums, journals, and conferences, and have recorded with Daniel Jones from Savage Garden. Not all of that is relevant to your SEO, but it's all true.

I work directly with every client. No handoffs, no account managers. If you're working with Digital Dominator, you're working with me.
