About Zak Perez

I spent the first five years of my career as a developer. That foundation shaped how I think about SEO, not as a marketing function, but as infrastructure.That perspective led me to work at the intersection of technical SEO, content architecture, and AI search optimization. I build the kind of systems that shape how a brand gets represented across the web.Outside of work you can catch me spending time with my fiancé and my son, painting murals or in the boxing gym.

Experience

1. Lead Seo

   CoStar Group

   Mar 2026 — Present · Irvine, CA, US

   Many times large platforms don\'t have an SEO problem, they have entity challenges.Search engines and AI models don\'t just index pages, they build representations of what a brand knows and who it serves. I build the infrastructure that shapes those representations: knowledge graph architecture, schema frameworks connecting millions of listing and category pages, and content systems designed around how CRE investors actually make decisions.
