Seven years making fabric for global brands including H&M, Zara and American Eagle. Five years getting e-commerce and B2B tech companies found on Google, in AI answers and in ads. Fashion brands get both.
A clothing brand's search problem is half product, half marketing. Agencies know the marketing. Mills know the product. I have done both jobs.
Seven years on the product side
I developed around 200 fabrics a year for brands including H&M, Zara, Mango, Tommy Hilfiger and American Eagle. I know what a 3x1 twill is, why the finishing route matters, and which trims make a sustainability claim true.
Five years on the search side
SEO, Google Ads and automation since 2021, for e-commerce, local service and B2B tech companies. For Hysab Kytab, a personal finance product, Google's AI answer names it beside the national banks.
Where both sides meet: Atlas and Maya
A bamboo babywear brand on Shopify, selling in the UAE. When I started in June 2026, Google could see 21% of the store and almost every visit came from people typing the brand name. Five months later:
ORGANIC SALES
Search traffic now turns into orders
GOOGLE'S AI
140 quotes to UAE shoppers in four weeks, up from 50
PAGES IN GOOGLE
489 to 1,220 in four weeks
MOBILE SPEED
All 82 measured pages pass Core Web Vitals
Google's AI answer for “What TOG does my baby need in UAE”. Atlas and Maya is the only brand it names.
TOG is a fabric measure, the thermal resistance of a textile. I wrote the guide that explains which TOG a baby needs in an air-conditioned UAE bedroom. Two weeks later Google's AI was answering parents in its words. The product knowledge got it quoted. The SEO got it found.
Atlas and Maya is the first brand where both careers apply. The method behind it was built over five years on other products: a fintech product, an online store, service businesses in the US and a B2B group of six companies. Different products, the same problems a clothing brand has.
Pages Google cannot see, or will not quote
A personal finance product cited in Google's AI answer beside the national banks. A sensory kit store with three pages in one AI Overview.
Ad money spent on searches that never buy
One Google Ads account built from scratch, one rebuilt, from $227 and $299 a conversion to $23 and $20.95.
Numbers spread across five tools
A dashboard for six business units that updates itself, replacing days of monthly exports.
Your product pages are competing with a thousand near-identical ones. Structure, copy, and technical work that separates yours, in Google and in the AI answers above it.
