Marina Sokolova

Editor of the QIO journal

Runs the QIO journal: turns the studio projects into practical pieces and checklists on websites, SEO, GEO and AI automation.

  • Website development
  • Technical SEO
  • GEO and AI search
  • AI implementation and automation
  • 1C-Bitrix, WordPress, Tilda

Marina is responsible for the QIO journal: she gathers topics, works with the development and SEO team on the facts and writes materials so that they can be applied to a reader’s own project without a consultation. Every piece is reviewed by the specialists who run the corresponding studio projects.

She relies on the public QIO portfolio: the Neoved financial service website on Tilda, the Free Lines Company corporate site on 1C-Bitrix, the websites of AMKAL Esports, PARIVISION, the Atlanty business club, Elektropult and ActiveP. Figures and conclusions come from project documentation and official sources.

Journal topics: how to choose a website type and platform, what to check before launch, how to prepare a site for search and AI assistants, where AI automation pays off.
