If your business isn't showing up in Google Maps, or the calls have gone quiet, you're losing work to competitors who simply rank higher. I help local service businesses fix that: stronger Maps and local visibility, and more qualified calls and leads. I've spent 8+ years in Local SEO, most of it inside agencies, managing strategy, fulfillment, reporting, and client communication. Now I bring those same agency-level standards directly to local business owners, and you work with me the whole way, not a hand-off to a junior team. I work with home service companies, contractors, healthcare practices, law firms, and other location-based businesses, single or multi-location. What makes me different: I build the strategy and I do the work. I'll show you exactly what's holding back your visibility, build a clear plan, and personally carry it out: GBP optimization, on-page and technical SEO, local content, service and location pages, schema, and tracking. Most engagements start with an in-depth audit, then a 90-day plan broken into specific tasks you can track to completion: • Website, GBP, and competitor audit • Google Business Profile optimization: categories, services, posts, reviews, citations/NAP • On-page and technical SEO cleanup • Service-area and location page strategy • Tracking and reporting: GA4, Google Tag Manager, Search Console, Looker Studio • Monthly deliverables and clear next steps Recent example: a local print shop in Purcellville, VA came to me effectively invisible on Google, sitting around rank 18 for its most valuable "buyer" keywords. In about 30 days I moved its top terms into Google's Top 3 (Map Pack) and drove 42 direction requests to the store. I'm US-based, and a native English speaker. I'm Top Rated on Upwork with a 100% Job Success score, and certified in Google Ads and Local SEO (SEMrush). I'm direct and organized, and I'll tell you honestly when something won't move the needle. Most clients start with an audit or a single project and continue on an ongoing basis as results compound. If you want more visibility and more calls from Google, send me your website and location and I'll show you the highest-priority opportunities I see. Agencies: I also offer white-label Local SEO fulfillment: audits, GBP management, on-page work, local content, citations, reporting, and task tracking that slots into your existing systems. Reliable execution behind the scenes when you need an experienced Local SEO partner.
