Biography

I’m Gabrio Linari, an Italian founder working with a diverse mix of global clients through my company, ROCK SEO. Ambitious brands don’t need louder SEO. In the one-answer world of AI search, I help them move first and be the brand that gets chosen.

At HousingAnywhere, I led SEO and content strategy that grew blog traffic 340% in one year and boosted customer activations 220%.

I truly relish connecting with people, training individuals, understanding business challenges and leveraging my expertise to reach Gen Z and Gen Alpha customers.

For years, I have followed Shaun T’s Insanity workout regimen, and I continue to train daily. True to its name, the workouts were, in fact, extreme.

When not immersed in work, I find solace in leisurely strolls with my canine companion, Rocky, and find a therapeutic sense of calm in cleaning my car after long hours in front of the computer.
