Hi, I’m Alston Antony
I help professionals turn SEO from confusing theory into a predictable system that brings customers through search — without the hype, myths, or wasted effort.
Based: Coimbatore, India | From: Colombo, Sri Lanka
My Story
I was born in Colombo, Sri Lanka and studied there before moving to London for my Master’s degree. Today I live in Coimbatore, India, where I work with businesses across South Asia and beyond.
I’ve been working with WordPress and SEO since 2010. Back then, SEO felt like magic — nobody really explained it properly. So I learned by doing. I broke things, fixed them, tested everything, and slowly figured out what actually moves the needle.
Over the years, I got tired of watching business owners waste money on “SEO experts” who couldn’t explain what they were doing. I got frustrated seeing students learn outdated theory that didn’t apply to our markets. And I got annoyed by loud gurus selling hype instead of real strategies.
So I started teaching. Not motivation speeches. Not abstract theory. Just practical, step-by-step SEO and digital marketing that actually works — especially for businesses in Sri Lanka and India.
What I Believe
SEO should make you money, not just rankings.
Traffic means nothing if it doesn’t convert. I focus on revenue, not vanity metrics.
Execution beats theory every time.
I don’t just tell you what to do. I show you my screen and walk you through it step by step.
Honesty over hype.
I share what works and what doesn’t. Including my own mistakes. No hidden agendas.
AI is changing search. Adapt or get left behind.
I teach SEO that works today and tomorrow — including how to rank in AI-powered search results.
Real Results, Not Just Talk
I don’t share other people’s case studies. These are projects I personally worked on:

I don’t do motivation speeches. I open my screen, show you exactly what I’m doing, and explain why it works. You’ll see real websites, real data, and real mistakes — not polished presentations.
My goal is simple: after watching my content, you should be able to do it yourself. Not depend on me or anyone else.
