James McWilliams

Founder & CEO of Lyxity

James McWilliams is the founder and CEO of Lyxity, an AI content optimisation platform revolutionising how digital agencies and businesses approach content marketing in the age of conversational search. With over 15 years of experience in digital marketing and SEO, James has witnessed first-hand how search engines have evolved from simple keyword matching to sophisticated AI-driven systems. His expertise spans content strategy, technical SEO, and helping businesses adapt to Google’s increasingly complex algorithms.

James founded Lyxity in 2024 in response to what he calls “the most significant shift in digital marketing history”—the rise of Generative Engine Search and AI-powered search experiences. Traditional SEO strategies were becoming obsolete overnight, and businesses were losing visibility despite having quality content.

Lyxity emerged from James’s vision to create “intelligent content”—content that’s not just optimised for search engines, but strategically engineered to be understood, valued, and prioritised by AI systems. The platform combines advanced AI with proven SEO principles to help businesses create, update, and manage content at scale.

Before founding Lyxity, James worked extensively with digital agencies across the UK and Ireland, observing the content bottleneck that limited growth: the high cost of quality writers, inconsistent output, and the time-consuming nature of manual content production. Lyxity solves these challenges while ensuring content remains genuinely helpful and human-readable.

Based in Armagh, Northern Ireland, James continues to research and write about the intersection of AI, search technology, and content marketing. His insights on conversational search and achieving higher ROI from marketing spend have helped hundreds of businesses adapt their strategies for the AI age.
