<span class="ai-growth-engineer"> Žan Špan </span>

I build growth systems that work while you sleep — SEO & GEO visibility, AI content engines, motion assets and automations that delete busywork. Built, deployed and maintained in production.

Proof, not promises

Real systems, running for real businesses. Some client work is under NDA — happy to walk you through it on a call.

What I build

Fixed scope, fixed price, deployed to your infrastructure. You own everything.

01 SEO & GEO

Technical SEO plus Generative Engine Optimization — structured so Google ranks you and ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews actually cite you when buyers ask.

→ Found by humans and by AI.

02 AI content systems

Ghostwritten thought leadership and content pipelines: research, drafting, editing and publishing cadence — AI-assisted, human-finished, in your voice.

→ A month of content from one interview.

03 Motion graphics

Logo animations, animated social and display assets, product explainers — After Effects work that makes a brand feel alive instead of static.

→ Static brands get scrolled past.

04 AI chatbots & agents

Customer support and booking bots powered by the Claude API. Trained on your business, connected to your calendar and CRM, live on your site or WhatsApp.

→ Answer every lead in seconds, 24/7.

05 Automation & bots

n8n workflows and Python bots: lead capture to CRM, reporting, follow-ups, marketplace monitoring with instant alerts. Documented and handed over.

→ Hours of manual work deleted every week.

06 Business websites

Fast landing pages and small business sites — Next.js or Shopify, deployed on Netlify, built to convert visitors into inquiries.

→ A site that pays for itself.

How this works

No discovery theater. Scope it, price it, ship it, hand it over.

  1. 01

    Tell me the bottleneck

    A 15-minute call or a plain message. I ask questions until the real problem surfaces — it's rarely the one in the brief.

  2. 02

    Fixed quote within 24 hours

    Scope, price, deadline — in writing. If automation isn't worth it for your case, I'll tell you that instead.

  3. 03

    Build in days, not months

    Progress updates in your inbox, no status meetings. You see the system working before you pay the final invoice.

  4. 04

    Documented handover

    You own the code, the accounts and the docs. Support window agreed up front — no hostage situations.

About me

readme.txt — notepad

I'm Žan — an engineer and entrepreneur based between Vienna and Ljubljana. I run my own automation agency and my own e-commerce brand, so I build automations the way an owner would: focused on the outcome, not the tech demo.

I work in English, German, Slovenian, Serbian/Croatian and Spanish, respond fast, and every project ends with documentation and a handover — you own the system, not me.

And yes — my last name really is Špan. Pronounced exactly like the HTML tag. I was always going to end up doing this.
