Ruan M. Marinho leads AI Search Optimization (AEO) and SEO strategy at Develomark in Connecticut while also overseeing product development at SplashDash, where he focuses on integrating search, AI, and performance marketing into scalable growth systems. His work centers on how businesses show up across modern search environments—including Google, AI-driven search, and emerging discovery platforms.

Beyond execution, he is deeply focused on education, sharing practical insights with his team and an audience of over 100,000 subscribers on YouTube, where he breaks down the evolving mechanics of search, AI visibility, and digital marketing performance.

From a young age, he was drawn to digital tools—experimenting with cameras, software, and early internet platforms. That curiosity led him into business development roles at Verizon, AT&T, and Comcast, where he built a foundation in communication systems and digital infrastructure before transitioning fully into search and marketing.
