About

Built by an in-house SEO, for in-house teams.

I’m Ali Sivisoglu. Ten years in enterprise SEO, nine of them in-house. I work with a small number of teams, and I do the work myself.

01/The story

Search changed. Most agencies didn’t.

I joined Preply as an early employee in 2016 and spent nine years growing organic search from the inside, across markets and languages, as the company scaled.

Being in-house teaches you what agencies rarely see: which recommendations actually ship, which ones die in a backlog, and which ones move revenue.

Then search started to shift. Buyers began asking ChatGPT and Perplexity instead of typing keywords, and Google started answering before anyone clicked. Most agencies kept playing the old game: more pages, more links, more reports.

I started Pinnacle Rank to close that gap: senior, in-house-minded SEO that treats AI answers as a channel, not an afterthought.

02/How I work

Three things I won’t compromise on.

Senior-only

The person on the sales call does the work. No handoffs, no juniors learning on your account.

Fewer clients, deeper work

A small roster, so your site gets real attention, not a monthly template.

Revenue, not vanity rankings

I report on traffic, AI visibility and pipeline impact, not position charts for keywords nobody buys from.

03/Track record

A decade of growth, measured.

04/The right fit

Where I make the biggest difference.

  • In-house teams that can ship changes
  • Brands growing across markets and languages
  • Companies that care about AI visibility, not just rankings
  • Leaders who want a senior partner, not another vendor
