Natalia Sudakova

Co-founder of SEOforMedia agency and NGO

Natalia Sudakova is a media manager, trainer, and the co-founder of the SEOforMedia agency and NGO. With ten years of experience in the industry, including a tenure as an editor at Ukrainska Pravda, she has focused since 2020 on developing media landscapes across Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

Working at the intersection of journalism, analytics, and technology, Natalia and her team have transformed the digital presence of over 250 media outlets and NGOs, including United24 Media, Forbes.ua, and Suspilne. She helps these organizations scale their impact through strategic SEO, news aggregators (Google News and Google Discover), optimization of the YouTube channels, and data analytics. Currently, her work also focuses on adapting newsrooms to the AI era through concepts like Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and researching the impact of artificial intelligence on the information ecosystem.

Her primary goal is to ensure that verified, high-quality information prevails over disinformation, making independent journalism not only ethical but also technically competitive in the digital space.
