Our Story: The Filipino Freelancers Behind TopSEOPh

Our story

We never set out to build an SEO company. We just wanted to help.

Hello, and thank you for being here. We are a small team of freelancers from the Philippines. Since 2019, we have had the privilege of helping business owners and agencies in the US, Australia, the UK and Canada, one email, one task and one day at a time.

Where we began

We started the way many freelancers do, with a simple wish: to do good work for people who trusted us with theirs.

We offered outreach and virtual assistant services at a price small businesses could afford. Nothing fancy. We showed up, did what we said we would do, and cared about the people on the other side of the screen.

Many of them were owners wearing ten hats, or agencies stretched thin. If we could lift even a few of those tasks off their shoulders, that felt like a good day’s work.

What we could not stop thinking about

Over the years, we noticed that people were hoping for more than help with a to-do list. They wanted to be found. They wanted the customers who needed them to be able to see them on Google.

We will be honest: growing on Google can feel slow and uncertain, especially for small businesses without big budgets. So we kept asking ourselves whether we could do more for the people who trusted us, without making it cost more.

The way people find businesses is changing

More and more, people are not only typing into Google and scrolling. They are asking AI assistants for recommendations, and reading the AI-written answers at the top of search results. Then they choose from the few businesses those answers mention.

For a small business, this can feel unfair. You can serve your customers beautifully and still go unmentioned if your website is unclear, your profiles are incomplete, or the web says very little about you. We call that AI visibility, and it is one of the reasons we care so much about the work we do.

The hopeful part is that it is not only for big brands. Clear pages, honest information, a well-kept Google Business Profile and trusted mentions around the web can help both Google and AI tools understand who you are.

We cannot promise that any tool will name you, because no one can. But we can help you become easier to find and easier to trust. If you are curious, we explain the basics in What is Ask Engine Optimization (AEO)?

It touched us too

We are not watching this change from the sidelines. AI is reshaping the work that freelancers and virtual assistants do, including the outreach and admin tasks our careers were built on. We felt that worry too.

We chose not to be afraid of it. We chose to learn it, use it well, and keep the parts only people can do: listening, judgment, care and accountability. Staying useful matters a great deal to us.

Why plans.topseoph.com exists

That question, and that change, is why we created plans.topseoph.com. It is the same dedicated service our clients have always known, with the same people who care and who write back.

The difference is that we now use AI to help with the groundwork, so your organic growth can move faster and feel more dependable, and so your business is easier to find on Google and in AI answers. AI helps us with the repetitive parts. The thinking, the care and the responsibility still belong to us.

Every time someone works with us, they are also supporting the families behind this small team. We never take that lightly, and it is why we treat every project with care.

Same heart. Same dedication. Now with faster, steadier organic growth, built for the way people search today.

Who we hope to help

If you are a small business owner doing everything yourself, or an agency looking for a dependable, affordable partner who treats your clients like their own, we would be honored to work with you.
