My name is Aleksey Borovikov. I am an SEO specialist and have worked in the field without a break since October 2018. I run a project end to end: from niche research to layout and deploying a finished site.

Aleksey Borovikov: an SEO specialist’s path

Until 2023 I worked as an SEO specialist at the agency Everest Marketing. In 2023–2024 I promoted client projects at the digital agency CINAR. In 2025 I worked at a company where I combined SEO with automating routine processes using AI. Since November 2025 I have run my own projects: SEO sites built to order, including the Backstage Media site.

What I do

Niche research, keyword research and clustering, page structure, copy, layout, deploy and analytics: the client does not have to assemble a team of several contractors. The technical part includes Schema.org structured data, sitemap and redirects, E-E-A-T and index control in Google Search Console.

A separate area is optimization for AI search and testing how Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and Perplexity retell sites. I have optimized more than 120 sites on WordPress, Bitrix, MODX, OpenCart, Tilda and Webflow, and have worked with Drupal and Joomla.

Tools and training

I work in Google Search Console, GA4, Ahrefs, Semrush, Arsenkin, Topvisor, Key Collector, KeyAssort, Screaming Frog and DataForSEO. I publish sites on Cloudflare Pages with CI/CD on GitHub Actions, and I prepare pages on my own pipeline of AI agents built on Claude Code.

Education: a bachelor’s degree in economics and enterprise management, 2014. After that came courses: SEO Shaolin (Mikhail Shakin), SEO Meat (Maksim Kotenkin), Advanced SEO Individual Training (Yana Ignatchik), “SEO Without Fluff” (Andrey Builov), Tilda School PRO and HTML Academy.

Approach and open code

I make decisions from Search Console, GA4, Ahrefs and server log data, hand routine work to the pipeline, and take code and deploy through myself. Every fact in the text is tied to a source, and I do the final proofreading myself. The production standards are open on GitHub: github.com/takedown-desing.

You can discuss a site in the personal working format or read about search promotion, AI search optimization and website development. The studio as a whole is described on the About us page.

Frequently asked questions

How long has Aleksey Borovikov worked in SEO?

Since October 2018 without a break, which is eight years of practice. He worked at SEO agencies, at a digital agency and at a company where he combined SEO with AI automation. Since November 2025 he has run his own projects building SEO sites to order.

Which sites and CMS platforms has Aleksey optimized?

More than 120 sites on WordPress, Bitrix, MODX, OpenCart, Tilda and Webflow, and he also has experience with Drupal and Joomla. This range of platforms helps him get up to speed on the technical details of a new project quickly, instead of learning the client's platform from scratch.

Which tools and services does he use?

Google Search Console, GA4, Ahrefs, Semrush, Arsenkin, Topvisor, Key Collector, KeyAssort, Screaming Frog and DataForSEO. He picks the set for the task: keyword research, a technical audit, link analysis or an indexation check.

Does Aleksey use AI when building sites and writing copy?

Yes, and he says so openly. Research, brief, page structure, the draft of the text and layout go through his own pipeline built on AI tools. Every fact is tied to a source, and he does the final proofreading and makes all decisions on the project himself.

Where can I see the open code and production standards?

The base of SEO production standards is open on GitHub, at github.com/takedown-desing. It is the same approach he uses on client sites: he does not hide the method and shows how the pipeline works and where each fact in the text comes from.

What does Aleksey do besides classic SEO?

He works on GEO, which is optimization for AI search, and tests visibility in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and Perplexity. He also builds, redesigns, improves and maintains websites, and takes a project all the way to production, not just to a list of recommendations.
