Chirag Kulkarni — Founder

I am the founder of Taco, an AI-powered SEO + AEO search agency that’s generated $53M+ in organic revenue for 100+ brands. LinkedIn, Expedia, and dozens of $10M–$1B+ companies included. Now, how did I get here? I grew up in Michigan. At 14, I was the kid in the basement obsessively googling “how to make money online.” That obsession turned into: – Neil Patel handing me a $10k SEO retainer at 16. – SEO for Expedia, LinkedIn – Joining a pharmacy startup as CMO and scaling it to a nine-figure revenue – Forbes 30U30, Top-50 CMO, and keynote stages from MIT to Accenture Today, I run Taco, where we’ve: ✅ Helped 100+ fast-growing businesses scale organic performance ✅ Generated $53M+ in organic revenue for clients using data-driven SEO + GEO strategies. ✅ Driven 40%+ more organic visibility for clients with AI-assisted workflows. ✅ Taken Expedia from 24M → 39M monthly visitors while increasing organic revenue by ~27% ✅ Led to 551% growth in search inclusion and +66% surge in revenue for DTC healthcare ✅ Made LinkedIn 400% increase in closed-won dollars from organic marketing Taco pairs AI-assisted workflows with senior human strategists and execution specialists so you get data-driven insights and real creative execution. Not just fancy dashboards. We do three things, and we do them ruthlessly well: 1. AI Search Optimization: Make ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google’s AI Overviews cite you, not your competitor. 2. Classic SEO: Own the SERPs that still print money with local, technical, programmatic, and deep on-page SEO, content, PR, and link-building. 3. Conversion Engineering: Turn the new traffic into organic revenue, not vanity clicks. If you’re a brand that's tired of paying 6-7 figures a month for paid traffic that vanishes, let’s make you the default answer everywhere people ask (organically). Open to advising, investing, and partnerships where search meets scale. Let’s talk (link in bio)!
