Matt Timmermans is a Dutch entrepreneur, SEO and GEO expert, and AI automation specialist based in Bali, Indonesia. He helps businesses get found in AI search, puts AI to work for entrepreneurs and companies, and builds digital products like Runami, LandLoom, Noisely, and GiveRadar.
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.
In 2022, I founded Own Property Abroad, a platform helping investors navigate real estate markets in Southeast Asia. It became my testing ground for search strategies, and led to my first software product: LandLoom, a market analysis dashboard for the Bali property market.
In 2024, I specialized in generative engine optimization (GEO) and LLM optimization: the discipline that determines whether AI systems like ChatGPT and Gemini mention your brand. Studying how AI systems interpret and surface content has been at the core of my agency work ever since.
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, and GiveRadar, a global charity transparency database.
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.
