SEO Specialist, Bandung, Indonesia

Hi, I'm Manu.

Technical SEO for SaaS and e-commerce. I fix the crawl, the code, and the content, then measure what changed.

6+ years in SEO. Currently at Hiu Technologies.

About

What I do

I have been doing SEO since 2020, first at an agency in Malang, then in-house for a gaming marketplace, and now for a US appliance software company. Most of my work sits between the SEO team and the developers: I read the rendered HTML, find what blocks crawling or indexing, and write the fix or the spec for it.

Since November 2025 I have run SEO for Hiu Technologies, which means three SaaS brands plus a portfolio of 35+ appliance retailer sites on a shared Qwik/PHP codebase. The numbers below come from Search Console, counted from the day I joined.

Current role

Hiu Technologies

Nov 2025 to present. SEO owner for appliance.io, skulytics.io and reusely.com, plus the retailer sites built on the shared platform.

  • Built an automated SEO pipeline so organic growth does not depend on someone doing the same manual checks every week.
  • Set up programmatic content generation that keeps publishing steady across the product verticals.
  • Wrote a technical SEO monitor that flags crawl and indexation problems before they show up as ranking drops.
  • Reworked the e-commerce architecture and the Fleet Console for cleaner crawling and better conversion paths.
  • Led the ground-up rebuild of the Appliance.io website with geo-targeting baked in. The launch window produced 5 direct conversions (3 from the AI chat, 2 from organic search), and after that 1 more from an AI Overview and 2 from organic search.
  • Handled a coordinated negative SEO attack on all three brands at once: around 900 spam domains reviewed and disavowed.
  • Diagnosed why the Reusely buyback widget was losing organic leads (closed shadow DOM) and wrote the fix spec for it.
