About the studio
Neaptide is an independent studio. We do SEO and GEO/AEO, build websites and advise on AI. The team works remotely with clients around the world, in six languages. Our main markets are the United States and Europe.
History
In 2009 Dmitry Filippov and a partner set up an IT consulting company, where Dmitry ran digital marketing. That side of the business was later spun off as Edge Promo, with him at its head. Its clients included both businesses and non-profit organisations.
In 2026 the company changed its name to Neaptide. With the name came a revised way of working, newer technology and an updated set of services. Digital marketing is still the main line of work, and the studio also builds websites and implements AI. Behind the approach is the idea of wu wei: after enough practice, and with a real understanding of the craft, skilled work comes naturally.
As well as SEO, the studio works on visibility in AI answers, usually called GEO or AEO. We prepare websites and content with one aim in mind: ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews should be able to find information about a company and link to its site. None of this is outsourced. It is all done in-house.
Founder
Neaptide was founded by Dmitry Filippov, who has worked in search optimisation since 2007. He leads the studio and develops its marketing and AI consulting services.
