Lead Technology Coordinator, MAXPlaces Marketing

20+ years building AI-ready web architecture, technical SEO systems, and digital marketing infrastructure for growth-focused brands.

About Andrew

I've spent the last twenty years building the technical systems behind digital visibility — websites that load cleanly, communicate clearly, and can be understood by search engines, AI crawlers, and the people making buying decisions. At MAXPlaces, I help shape the technical foundation behind SEO, GEO, AEO, and digital strategy engagements.

My engineering background from Rochester Institute of Technology still shapes how I approach the work: information architecture, schema, CMS architecture, development workflows, technical SEO, and AI-readiness all have to support the same goal. The site needs to be crawlable, credible, and conversion-ready before strategy can really perform.

I write here about the behind-the-scenes systems that make search visibility durable: architecture, structured data, AI crawl readiness, web performance, and the operational discipline needed to keep those systems healthy. If the technical foundation is weak, every marketing tactic built on top of it has to work harder than it should.
