I'm Roman Daneghyan. I help Los Angeles companies figure out what to do about search, then make sure it gets done.

Most companies that come to me don't need more SEO activity. They need someone senior to look at the whole picture, tell them what's actually holding growth back, and set a plan their team or partners can execute. That's the job.

What I bring

An operator on both sides of search

I've spent my career on the operator side of search. I'm the founder and CEO of The Business Rover, an SEO and AI visibility agency with around 35 people. I built PromptRush, a platform that tracks how brands appear in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. And I'm the CMO of Renderforest, so I deal with the same pressures in-house that my clients do: budgets, stakeholders, engineering backlogs and a board that wants results.

That combination is useful. I know what agencies can and can't do, what in-house teams actually have time for, and how AI search is changing which work matters.

How I work with Los Angeles companies

01

SEO and AI visibility audit

A full review of your technical setup, content, authority and competitive position on Google, plus a baseline of how AI assistants describe you and your competitors. You get a prioritized plan, not a 200-page export.

02

Fractional SEO leadership

For companies without a senior SEO lead, I act as your head of SEO on a part-time basis: setting strategy, prioritizing the roadmap, reviewing work from your team or vendors, and reporting to leadership.

03

Migration and redesign oversight

Redesigns and platform moves are where companies lose years of rankings in a week. I plan the migration, review staging, and stay close through launch.

Team advisory

Working sessions with your in-house marketing, content and engineering teams so they make better SEO decisions without needing me in every meeting.

Who I work with in LA

  • Tech and SaaS companies in Santa Monica, Culver City, Playa Vista and Downtown that need organic search to drive pipeline.
  • Companies across the wider LA area, including Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank and the Westside.
  • DTC and ecommerce brands where rising paid costs have made organic a margin question. See ecommerce and Shopify SEO in LA.
  • Media, entertainment and content businesses with large sites and complex technical setups. See technical SEO in LA.
  • Established companies that see competitors named in ChatGPT answers and want to understand why.

When you need execution too

Strategy only matters if it ships. When a client needs hands-on execution, content, technical implementation, link building or AI visibility work, my agency team in Los Angeles handles it, scoped separately. Many clients work with me alone, some work with both, and some pair my strategy with their existing agency or in-house team. All three work.

Why hire an SEO consultant instead of adding headcount?

A senior SEO hire in Los Angeles is expensive and slow to find, and a junior hire can't set strategy. A consultant gives you senior judgment now, at a fraction of the commitment, and helps you decide what to build in-house later.

Frequently asked questions

The focus is different. A consultant sets direction, prioritizes and reviews. An agency executes at volume. Most growing companies need both at different times, and I'm set up to provide either.

It depends on scope. An audit is a fixed project. Fractional leadership is a monthly engagement based on hours and involvement. I'll give you a clear scope and price after an intro call. For the wider market, see SEO consultant rates in Los Angeles.

Yes. I'm based in Yerevan and work with LA clients remotely, and I travel to Los Angeles to meet clients.

Always. Every audit and every engagement covers how ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews describe your brand.

Yes. I often review and direct work from other agencies. My job is to get you results, not to replace your partners.
