I AM MATT

Matt Timmermans — Entrepreneur, SEO Expert and AI Builder based in Bali

HELPING BUSINESSES GET FOUND AND AUTOMATE WITH AI

MY BACKGROUND

I've been building digital products since 2018. What started with web design quickly turned into a deep focus on SEO, content marketing, and how people find things online. Through my agency Timmermans Media, I've worked with brands like Business Insider, Bitvavo, HEMA, and Coinmerce.

In 2020, I graduated in IT & Marketing with a specialization in cybersecurity, where I trained as an ethical hacker.

By 2022, I was already applying generative engine optimization and LLM optimization, studying how AI systems interpret and surface content. That same year I founded Own Property Abroad, a platform helping investors navigate real estate markets in Southeast Asia. It became my testing ground for both traditional SEO and AI-driven search strategies, and led to my first software product: LandLoom, a market analysis dashboard for the Bali property market.

In 2025, I launched Runami, an AI running coach that started as a personal experiment to improve my marathon training and grew into a tool used by runners worldwide. I also built Noisely, a B2B feedback scraping tool.

I'm also co-founder of NextGen Education, where I'm responsible for technology and platform development.

Today, I combine everything I've learned across marketing, software development, and AI into one thing: building systems that help businesses work smarter.

AI AUTOMATION FOR BUSINESSES

I build AI-powered systems that handle the work your team shouldn't be doing manually. Think automated lead follow-up, client onboarding, review requests, email pipelines, and AI agents that answer calls and book appointments 24/7. I set it up for your business and it just runs. No software for you to learn.

SEO, GEO & LLM OPTIMIZATION

I help businesses get found, not just on Google, but in AI-generated answers, chatbots, and AI overviews. Through Timmermans Media, I combine traditional SEO and content marketing with generative engine optimization (GEO) and LLM optimization. I have been working with GEO since 2022 and have helped brands like Business Insider, Bitvavo, and Coinmerce grow their online visibility.

SOFTWARE & DIGITAL PRODUCTS

I build my own tools and platforms. Runami is an AI running coach used by runners worldwide. LandLoom is a real estate data platform for the Bali property market. Noisely is a feedback scraper for B2B. I enjoy turning ideas into working products, often starting as personal experiments that grow into something bigger.

PERSONAL

I'm based in Bali, Indonesia. I ran my first marathon in Tokyo in 2025, which is what inspired me to build Runami. I play guitar and piano, mostly Beatles. I read a lot, especially books on spirituality and business. I love traveling. Japan, Australia, and Lebanon are places that stuck with me. When I'm not building things, I'm probably at the gym or going down a history rabbit hole.
