Kevin Jeppesen

Founder of The Operator Vault & Ascendily

I have been in SEO and digital advertising for over 12 years. I run Ascendily, an SEO and growth agency, and I built The Operator Vault as a community for people who want to automate their businesses with AI agents.

Right now I spend most of my time building projects with Claude Code and OpenClaw, teaching my community how to do the same, and documenting everything on my YouTube channel. I went from manually doing everything to running 20+ live automations across lead gen, content, CRM, and competitive research.

I started hacking at 12, taught myself web design and SEO as a teenager, and spent the next decade building and ranking sites across e-commerce, SaaS, and local business. The tools have changed. The obsession has not.

My Toolstack

Tools I use and recommend

No sponsored placements. These are the tools that actually run my businesses every day.

AI & Automation

Claude Code

I build entire projects with Claude Code. Every page on this site, every automation script, every piece of content runs through it. It is the single most impactful tool I have ever used.

OpenClaw

The open-source AI browser agent I use daily and teach my entire community. Lead gen, research, content workflows, client automations. If you are here, you probably already know.

ElevenLabs

AI voice and audio generation. I use it for video voiceovers, content repurposing, and experimenting with audio formats for the community.

Apify

Cloud platform for web scraping and browser automation. I use Apify actors for data extraction jobs that need to run on schedule without managing infrastructure.

SEO & Research

DataForSEO

All my keyword research and SERP analysis runs through DataForSEO APIs. More flexible and way cheaper than Ahrefs or SEMrush if you know what you are doing.

Firecrawl

Web scraping that returns clean markdown. I use it to scrape docs, competitor pages, and research material. The LLM-optimized output saves hours.

Google Search Console

Free and the ground truth for SEO performance. Rankings, CTR, indexing status. Nothing beats first-party data from Google.

Hosting & Infrastructure

Vercel

Every site I build ships on Vercel. Instant deploys, edge functions, zero-config Next.js hosting. I have never had a reason to switch.

Hostinger VPS

I run OpenClaw instances on Hostinger. Solid performance, starts at $5/month. I wrote a full setup guide for it.

Marketing & Funnels

Kit (ConvertKit)

Email marketing for creators. I use Kit for all my email sequences, newsletters, and lead magnets. Simple, powerful, built for people who actually create content.

Perspective Funnels

Mobile-first funnel builder. I use Perspective for high-converting landing pages and lead capture flows. Fast to set up, great conversion rates.

Community & Education

Skool

Where The Operator Vault community lives. 300+ members, weekly calls, shared workflows, and the free OpenClaw course. Best community platform I have tried.
