SEO for the Russian Market — Yandex & Google.ru
I help foreign brands, exporters and international businesses grow on the Russian market through organic search. This is direct work with an independent SEO specialist who knows Yandex algorithms (~65% of search share in Russia), Russian-language semantics and local ranking factors. No agency middlemen, no markup — transparent pricing in RUB and weekly progress reports in English.

Why hire a Russia-based SEO consultant for the RU market
Russia is a unique search market: Yandex holds the majority share, the ranking model (MatrixNet, YATI) is fundamentally different from Google, and decisive signals come from local sources — Yandex.Webmaster, Yandex.Metrica, Yandex.Maps, Yandex.Business, 2GIS and VK. Global SEO agencies that "also do Yandex" usually treat it as a side feature and miss 80% of what really moves rankings here.
Working directly with a private specialist based in Russia means a partner who reads the SERP in Russian every day, understands local user intent and commercial factors, and is fully compliant with Russian law (152-FZ on personal data, ad law 168-FZ, hosting localization). I run end-to-end SEO for foreign companies that already operate in Russia or are launching here, with reporting and communication in English.

Deep experience promoting projects in key business niches
Artem Firsov
Private SEO specialist
SEO promotion is for businesses with real revenue and long-term goals. If your project is just starting and the budget is limited, it’s better to start with paid search and switch to SEO as revenue grows. I take landing pages only for one-off optimization and behavioral work.

Client reviews
What clients who ordered this service say
In 6 months traffic grew 3×. Artem dives deep into the niche and truly understands industrial SEO. Highly recommend.
Finally found a specialist who doesn't just write reports but actually moves the project forward. We see lead growth from search every month.
We needed a systemic approach after two agencies failed to deliver. With a private SEO it's all transparent: a clear plan, regular reports, real position growth in Moscow and the region.
