My name is Maksym. I am an entrepreneur with more than 20 years of experience in business, marketing, advertising, printing and the development of small and medium-sized companies.
My entrepreneurial journey began in 2006 in Ukraine, where I founded the advertising agency Polaris Group. The company worked on promoting products and services in the Ukrainian market, organizing advertising campaigns, developing brands and providing marketing support for businesses. The agency's clients included large Ukrainian companies and retail chains, including Unitrade, Foxtrot and Eldorado.
Since 2017, I have been living and working in Estonia. Here I continued developing my own projects and businesses, combining the practical experience of an entrepreneur, marketer and production company manager.
In addition to developing my own companies, I held management positions in the printing industry in Ukraine and Estonia. I worked as a production manager in large Ukrainian printing houses and later as head of production at Prindi.me, one of the largest online printing companies in Estonia. This experience helped me deeply understand production management, business process organization, quality control, equipment workload planning, personnel management and the development of production companies.
Over more than two decades of work, I gained practical experience not only in marketing and advertising, but also in sales, production, business development, launching new projects, creating sales-focused websites, attracting clients, improving online and offline company visibility and building effective business processes.
Over the years, I have participated in launching and developing several commercial projects in different business areas. Some of these projects were implemented as a consultant and partner. Details of some projects are not disclosed in accordance with confidentiality principles and respect for clients' business interests. I consider the protection of commercial information one of the most important principles of professional work.
Over time, it became clear that modern businesses can no longer rely only on offline visibility. Outdoor advertising, promotional products, printed materials and branded merchandise still play an important role, but today most clients begin their search for products and services online.
AskMe is especially focused on Russian-speaking entrepreneurs, relocants and small businesses in Europe who need clear online visibility, a website that generates leads and a Google presence that can be understood by both search engines and AI systems.
That is why AskMe was created.
AskMe appeared as a logical continuation of my many years of experience developing my own companies and working with businesses. For many years, I observed the same problem: many companies offer quality products and services, but remain almost invisible to potential clients. The reason is often not the product or service level, but the lack of strong online visibility.
Many entrepreneurs invest significant budgets into paid advertising while not paying enough attention to their website, Google presence, local search and modern digital promotion tools. As a result, advertising budgets are spent constantly, but a stable flow of clients never appears.
Today AskMe helps companies become more visible online and receive clients through organic search. We create sales-focused websites, set up Google Business Profile, improve Google Search indexing, work with local SEO, increase organic business visibility, optimize websites technically and prepare companies for the new reality of AI Search.
Modern users increasingly search for information not only through Google Search, but also through ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity and other AI systems. That is why today it is important not just to have a website, but to have a sales-focused website that is clear both to search engines and artificial intelligence.
Why clients choose AskMe
Unlike many digital marketing specialists, my expertise is based not only on theory, courses or agency work.
Most of the solutions I offer to clients today have been tested many times in my own companies and real commercial projects.
For more than 20 years, I have not only worked with marketing and promotion, but also built businesses myself, attracted clients, created sales-focused websites, organized sales, managed production and was responsible for companies' financial results.
That is why I look at business promotion not only through the eyes of a marketer or SEO specialist, but also through the eyes of an entrepreneur.
I understand how much it costs to acquire a client, how important every inquiry is, why advertising budgets must pay back and which decisions genuinely help a business grow instead of simply creating the appearance of work.
For me, website positions alone and beautiful reports are not the main goal. The real measure of effectiveness is client inquiries, sales and business growth.
That is why AskMe is focused not on technical promotion for its own sake, but on building a sustainable system for attracting clients through Google Search, Google Maps, organic traffic and modern AI search systems.
My approach
I do not sell SEO just for the sake of SEO and I do not create websites just for beautiful design.
Every tool must solve a specific business task: attract clients, increase brand awareness, generate more inquiries and help the company grow.
That is why I evaluate every project not only from a marketing point of view, but also from the point of view of a business owner who understands the real needs of entrepreneurs.
My goal is to help businesses become visible both locally and internationally using modern digital promotion and organic search tools.
I believe that a good sales-focused website, a properly configured Google Business Profile and strong search visibility can bring clients to a business for many years without constantly increasing the advertising budget.
Companies and projects
Polaris Group (Ukraine)
An advertising agency founded in 2006.
The main areas of work included marketing, advertising, promotion of products and services, brand development, advertising campaigns and business support in the Ukrainian market.
The agency's clients included large Ukrainian companies and retail chains, including Unitrade, Foxtrot and Eldorado.

AskMe
AskMe was founded in 2026 as a logical continuation of more than twenty years of experience in entrepreneurship, marketing, advertising and business development.
The project's main specialization is creating sales-focused websites, improving online business visibility, local SEO, setting up Google Business Profile, improving Google Search indexing, AI Search Optimization and helping companies attract clients through organic search.
The goal of AskMe is to help entrepreneurs become visible both in local search and internationally by using modern tools from Google Search, Google Maps and AI search systems.
AskMe philosophy
AskMe is built on a simple principle: before increasing the advertising budget, a business should use the opportunities of organic traffic as much as possible.
In many cases, companies spend thousands of euros on paid advertising without fixing basic problems with their website, search visibility, Google Business Profile and technical optimization. As a result, a large part of the advertising budget is spent inefficiently.
A properly configured sales-focused website, quality indexing in Google, a well-prepared Google Business Profile, a technically healthy website and a thoughtful SEO strategy can attract new clients for years without constantly increasing advertising expenses.
We aim to help clients get the maximum result with the minimum necessary advertising costs by using organic search, local SEO and modern AI search technologies.
I believe that a sustainable business is built not only on advertising, but also on systematic work with visibility, reputation and the quality of its online presence.
That is what AskMe does: helps businesses become visible, understandable to clients and available for search today and in the future.
