About Alex Firdaus

I help prop firms and brokers get found in Google and AI search.

I spent ten years rating search results for Google. Now I run search and editorial for prop firm and broker review sites, and I advise operators on Google rankings and AI visibility.

What I do now

I work on both sides of the search result.

At FinMedia Group, I run the media side of FundedTrading.com, FundedTrading.id and MyTradingReviews.com. That includes search strategy, editorial direction, review writing and decisions about which pages stay, change or go.

Separately, I advise operators on how search engines and AI answers describe their firm. That work covers SEO audits, page planning, content standards and checks on whether a brand is cited in AI Overviews.

The short version

How I got here

2000s

Started writing online

My first online writing was for Jalan2.com, a tourism forum that no longer exists.

2012

Failed at Bing

I was hired as a Bing web search evaluator, scored 49% on my first monthly audit and lost the job within a month.

2012 to 2022

Ten years rating Google results

I joined Leapforce, later acquired by Appen, as a Google web search evaluator. For ten years I graded real search results against Google's quality guidelines.

2020 to 2021

Moved into copywriting

COVID removed about 70% of my income. I rebuilt by learning copywriting, then combined it with what I knew about search quality and started writing for fintech clients.

2022 to now

Head of Media at FinMedia Group

I now run SEO, content and partnerships across prop trading and fintech review properties, including FundedTrading and MyTradingReviews.
