Research & Publications

My academic and independent research focuses on understanding how users search, evaluate information, and make decisions online applied directly to real marketing strategy.

Explored how search engines interpret patterns and ranking signals, and how data models can predict which pages are more likely to perform well. This helps me prioritize SEO changes based on probability instead of trial-and-error.

Studied how users interact with online content and ads, including what makes them click, stay, or leave a website. This directly improves landing page structure and conversion decisions.

Analyzed how automated responses affect user trust and decision-making during early contact stages. Helps businesses decide when automation helps and when human interaction converts better.

Focused on why many pages rank but don’t generate inquiries — understanding the difference between traffic keywords and customer keywords. This shapes keyword strategy to target buyers instead of visitors.

Recognized programs that support my practical experience in SEO, paid advertising, and digital marketing strategy.
