Local SEO Expert | Google Business Profile, Maps Ranking & AI Search
Is your business missing from Google Maps and local search when customers look for what you offer? Every day you don’t show up, those calls go to a competitor. I help local and service businesses fix that through Local SEO and Google Business Profile optimization. I’ve been doing SEO for almost a decade and working with clients on Upwork for the last 5 years. Most of my work today is local business SEO for service businesses in the US and Australia. The goal is always more calls, direction requests, and form leads, not just rankings. A few recent results: - Dental practice: Google Business Profile calls up 88.6% year over year, search clicks from 415 to 4,370, and the practice now appears as a recommended source in ChatGPT - Physiotherapy clinic: search clicks from 6.4K to 31K, average position from 11.9 to 4.5, ranking in the Google Maps 3-pack - Propane service company: 796 calls from Google Business Profile in six months - Law firm: search clicks from 269 to 2.75K in three months Industries I’ve worked with: dental and healthcare clinics, mental health practices, law firms, home services (fencing, propane, garage doors, water treatment), home builders and renovators, restaurants and hospitality, and ecommerce stores. How I work: - Audit: I review your Google Business Profile, website, citations, reviews, and top local competitors to find what’s holding you back - Plan: local keywords, service and location pages, and a clear priority list based on what will bring in calls fastest - Execute: GBP optimization, on-page and technical fixes, citations, review strategy, content and quality links - Report: monthly reports focused on calls, leads, map rankings, and search traffic What I handle: - Google Business Profile audit, optimization, and ongoing management - Local keyword research and service area page strategy - Citation building and NAP cleanup - Review generation strategy - On-page and technical SEO for service business websites - AI search visibility, so your business gets mentioned in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews Tools I use: Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Semrush, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, Local Falcon, Localo, and GMB Everywhere. I work best with service businesses that want steady, long-term growth from local search rather than a quick fix. Send me your business name or website, and I’ll do a quick local SEO and Google Business Profile audit before we discuss anything else.
