Nir Levi has spent over a decade inside affiliate SEO — not as an observer, but as an operator. Before founding GODRANK, he built, ranked, and monetized affiliate sites across casino, iGaming, and high-competition niches, developing a direct understanding of what Google’s systems actually reward versus what the industry says they reward.
GODRANK grew out of that operator mindset. The agency works with casino and affiliate businesses that need more than generic SEO recommendations — clients who need someone who has navigated Panda, Penguin, HCU, and every core update between them, and can translate those experiences into a concrete recovery or growth strategy. The approach is methodical: build topical authority first, get the E-E-A-T signals in order, and let compounding content do the work.
In 2025 and 2026, Nir has focused heavily on two areas that most SEO agencies are still catching up to: helping HCU-hit affiliate sites execute genuine recovery (not short-term fixes), and preparing affiliate content for the GEO era — structuring pages to be cited by Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and the next wave of AI-mediated search.
