Dave Davies is an SEO professional with more than 25 years of experience in search, combining technical SEO with long term search strategy as the industry moves toward AI powered discovery. His career began in affiliate marketing in 2000, followed by 17 years co founding and running Beanstalk Internet Marketing with Mary Davies. He is now Principal SEO Manager at CoreWeave, where he leads SEO strategy across the company and acquired brands, including Weights & Biases. His work applies search expertise within AI and cloud technology, where technical complexity and rapidly changing discovery systems create distinct visibility challenges. Davies has extensive hands on experience with technical SEO and content strategy, with current work extending into Generative Engine Optimization.

His work examines agent observability, including how AI agents can support productivity and produce deeper operational insights. This research connects directly with his broader interest in the future of search, particularly how generative systems may change traditional ranking and information retrieval.
