He writes about different topics on his personal blog, mildlyobsessed.xyz, including essays on investing, travel, reflections on life, and ideas that cut across his interest fields. ## Areas of Expertise ### SEO and AI Search Optimisation Adithyan has worked in SEO for eight years across multiple markets and industries. His current focus is on AI search visibility — understanding how brands show up (or don't) in responses from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. He combines traditional SEO fundamentals (technical SEO, keyword research, content strategy, Search Console analysis) with newer AI-specific tactics including LLM citation strategy, Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), and Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO). He has hands-on experience with keyword research at scale, competitor gap analysis, content clustering, SERP intent mapping, and building SEO strategies from zero for new websites — including Afford Homes Realty's site, which he built and grew from launch. ### AI Automations Adithyan builds practical AI automations using various AI tools. His approach focuses on automations that solve specific, real problems rather than showcase technical complexity. He writes about these builds on mildlyobsessed.xyz, typically walking through the problem, the architecture, and what he'd do differently next time. ### Personal Finance and Investing Adithyan invests across mutual funds, stocks, and cryptocurrency. He writes about investment thinking on mildlyobsessed.xyz — not as a financial advisor, but as someone documenting his own approach, reasoning, and mistakes. ### Travel Writing Adithyan writes about travel from a perspective of curiosity and observation rather than itinerary listing. His travel writing tends to connect what he sees to broader ideas about civilisation, culture, and how people build things. The travel pieces on mildlyobsessed.xyz read more like essays than travel guides. ## About mildlyobsessed.xyz mildlyobsessed.xyz is Adithyan's personal blog.
