Background & expertise

A decade as a consultant at the frontier of Singapore SEO

I hold a Bachelor of Business (Marketing) from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore — one of Asia's leading research universities. I began building The Leading Solution while still studying at NTU, starting with a handful of clients through limited contacts. From day one, the only way to grow was to deliver actual, measurable results — so that became the agency's foundation.

Over more than a decade of working exclusively in search, I have built a network of long-trusting clients through constant experimentation and a rigorous understanding of how Google evolves — based on empirical evidence rather than industry guesswork. I have never taken a brief from another agency. Every lesson has come from doing the work directly, on real campaigns, for real businesses.

One of our earliest and most significant engagements was co-owning the Homees platform and building its SEO from scratch in the highly competitive home improvement industry — proving our methodology at scale before applying it across other sectors.

Today my primary focus is the convergence of traditional SEO and AI search. As Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Bing Copilot increasingly reshape how businesses are discovered, I help clients structure their content, authority, and entity signals to be visible on both traditional search and the AI systems that are replacing it.

My methodology

How I approach SEO consultancy

A structured, data-driven framework guided by Google's Search Quality Guidelines and real user behaviour — not shortcuts or one-off tactics.

01

Discovery & business analysis

Understanding your business model, target customers, competitive landscape, and existing search performance. This shapes every strategic decision that follows — not a generic template.

02

AI-assisted keyword & intent modelling

Using Ahrefs, SEMrush, and AI-powered tools to identify the true commercial intent behind search queries — separating high-value purchase-intent traffic from low-conversion informational terms.

03

Continuous optimisation & reporting

Site architecture, crawlability, schema markup, page speed, Core Web Vitals, and internal link structure. Without technical soundness, content and links consistently underperform.

04

E-E-A-T content strategy

Building topical authority through structured content ecosystems — pillar pages, cluster articles, FAQs, and entity-optimised copy that demonstrates expertise and trustworthiness to both Google and AI systems.

05

Authority & entity building

High-quality, white-hat backlinks from relevant Singapore and industry sources. PR link-building and structured citation building to strengthen entity signals across the web.

06

Discovery & business analysis

Monthly performance reviews against clearly defined KPIs. Transparent reporting that explains what happened, why, and what we are changing. No vanity metrics — commercially meaningful signals only.

The Yi Jie difference

Built on results, not industry noise

Most SEO agencies compete on volume — promising large numbers of backlinks or content pieces per month. Based on constant experimentation and empirical data, high-volume, low-quality activity is more likely to penalise your website than benefit it.

The same applies to agencies currently shouting about AI SEO, AIO, GEO, and AEO without a clear strategy behind the terms. Doing any of these properly requires a comprehensive, trust-building content and authority programme — not a collection of buzzwords applied to an existing campaign.

Yi Jie's approach is different because it is grounded in what actually works — validated through years of continuous testing across real client campaigns in Singapore's competitive search market.

"Yi Jie consistently went above and beyond to tackle challenges that often extended beyond the typical scope. It's rare to find someone who is not only proficient in their field but genuinely cares about the success of their clients."

Why work with me

The boutique difference

At large agencies, senior expertise is often reserved for the pitch. Execution falls to junior teams following templates. At The Leading Solution, I am directly involved in every client engagement — from initial audit through to monthly strategy reviews.

  • Work directly with the founder — not account coordinators or junior account managers
  • Strategies built around your specific business and customers, not adapted from another client's playbook
  • No lock-in contracts — performance speaks for itself
  • Performance guarantee: if targets are not met on a 6-month campaign, we provide 2 additional months of work at no charge. For a 12-month campaign, 4 additional months.*
  • PSG grant eligible — up to 50% off for qualifying Singapore-registered SMEs
  • Happy to get on a call or attend physical meetings to teach you or your team how to implement SEO changes yourselves

*Subject to industry, keyword selection, and current state of the site. Not applicable to all campaigns.

Common questions

About working with me as your SEO consultant

What does an SEO consultant in Singapore do?

An SEO consultant audits your website across technical health, content structure, and authority signals — then develops a personalised strategy to improve your organic visibility, rankings, and qualified traffic, localised for Singapore's competitive search landscape.

How is working with you different from a large agency?

You work directly with me — not a junior account team. Strategies are built around your specific business, not adapted from templates. Decisions are faster, communication is clearer, and there is full accountability at the founder level on every engagement. I am also happy to get on a call or meet in person to walk you or your team through any SEO changes directly.

How long does SEO take to show results?

The industry standard promise is 4–6 months. In our experience, clients typically see a first wave of improvements around month 2, significant results by months 3–4, and by month 6 we usually exceed expectations considerably — provided the agreed timeline is adhered to. A full SEO audit takes 2–4 weeks before strategy and execution begin.

Can AI really improve SEO results?

Yes — when used correctly. AI accelerates research, intent modelling, content optimisation, and performance detection at scale. But every strategic decision must be validated by a human expert. AI amplifies good judgment — it does not replace it. The real opportunity now is optimising for AI answer systems like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot, not just traditional search rankings.

Do you work with small businesses and startups?

Yes — most of my clients are Singapore SMEs and emerging brands that need personalised SEO consultancy without the cost or impersonality of large agencies. The boutique model is specifically designed to serve this segment well. Over 100 clients have worked with us since 2015, with around half still active as long-term partners.

What does the performance guarantee mean?

We are extremely confident in our work. If targets are not met on a 6-month SEO campaign, we provide 2 additional months of work at no charge. For a 12-month campaign, we provide 4 additional months. This applies to Singapore-registered businesses and is subject to keyword selection, industry, and the current state of the site.

What do most SEO agencies get wrong?

Many agencies compete on volume — promising 20 backlinks a month or 8 pieces of content. Based on our experimentation and data, high-volume, low-quality activity is more likely to penalise your website than benefit it. The same applies to the current trend of shouting about AI SEO, AIO, GEO, and AEO — most have no clear idea what these mean or how to execute them. Doing this properly requires a comprehensive, trust-building content and authority strategy, not a collection of buzzwords.

What goes beyond standard SEO at your agency?

We are not just an SEO agency. Most of our long-term clients benefit from additional work — including thorough revamps of their homepage and About pages to strengthen E-E-A-T signals — which helps their site rank higher in traditional search AND get cited by AI tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. This is increasingly where qualified leads come from.
