Emre Elbeyoglu

Emre is a growth marketer, maker, and entrepreneur. He's spent 15 years in SEO and growth, and his approach is built around one habit: reverse-engineering data. He pulls apart how search engines and AI ranking systems decide what to surface, then uses those patterns to acquire customers and scale products. That's how he's bootstrapped his own SaaS startups and helped global brands work on growth, CRO, and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization).

He co-founded Flatart, a digital marketing agency, in 2013. Through Flatart he's worked with Investing.com, Rakuten, and EuroDNS on SEO and growth. In 2019 he turned that consulting work into a product, co-founding Popupsmart, an AI-powered CRO platform now used by 600+ clients. LiveChatAI followed in 2023: an AI customer support tool that returns accurate answers from large datasets, built on the same GEO and SEO foundation. WIRED Magazine has written about it for its use of GPT-4, Llama, and Mistral.

Emre writes about growth, SEO, and building with AI. His thinking goes like this: every company has a unique pattern based on the technology stack they choose, and that stack tells you more about buyer intent, budget, and readiness than most firmographic data. He wrote about this approach in an Indie Hackers case study, tripling demo requests for his SaaS. He shares more growth experiments here on GrowthMarketing.ai, which he launched in 2024. He studied Computer Technology and Information Systems at Bilkent University and lives in Ankara, Turkey.
