Seo4Starters is my working lab—not an anonymous agency.
I’m Vlad Samohvalov, an SEO practitioner with eight years of experience across small-business sites, ecommerce stores and large vertical platforms. Today I also build and study LLM-based automations, agentic systems and AI-assisted development workflows.
This site documents what I learn in practice: technical SEO, search and answer-engine visibility, analytics, web operations, AI models and the systems built around them. Older experiments are reviewed, corrected or retired when they no longer help readers.
Experience behind the articles
8 years in SEO
Technical and content work for professional-service sites, local and industrial businesses, ecommerce stores and high-traffic vertical platforms.
Websites and measurement
Site building, information architecture, indexing diagnostics, analytics implementation and the operational work required after launch.
LLM and agentic systems
AI-assisted coding, agent memory architecture, multi-agent environments, Linux deployments, automations and making websites usable by agents.
Why SEO and AI belong on the same site
Search is becoming one interface inside a larger information ecosystem. Crawlers, ranking systems, language models and autonomous agents all need clear structure, trustworthy evidence and machine-readable access. Seo4Starters therefore covers two connected disciplines: search visibility and practical AI systems. Not every AI story is an SEO story, but both are approached here through testing, implementation and technical explanation rather than hype.
Editorial principles
Articles identify what comes from hands-on work, what comes from documentation and what remains an editorial hypothesis.
Current technical and product claims are checked against official documentation whenever possible.
SEO recommendations describe trade-offs and evidence; they do not promise positions or traffic.
Substantial corrections and updates are dated. Obsolete pages may be rewritten, merged or removed instead of being presented as current.
