Local SEO Specialist for Service Businesses | AEO, GEO & AI Search

Search has changed faster in the last two years than in the previous ten. Google AI Overviews now answer questions before anyone clicks. ChatGPT and Perplexity are recommending local service providers by name. Voice assistants are reading one answer out loud, not ten. Most local service businesses in the U.S. are invisible in all of it. They are running a 2021 SEO strategy in a 2026 search environment and wondering why the phone rings less than it used to. I help U.S. service businesses improve visibility across both traditional search engines and AI-powered search experiences through Local SEO, Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗙𝗢𝗖𝗨𝗦 𝗢𝗡 Local service businesses have a different search challenge than eCommerce brands or national companies. You are competing in a defined geographic area against a small number of direct competitors for searchers who are ready to hire right now. The goal is not traffic for the sake of traffic. The goal is to appear at the exact moment someone in your city needs what you offer, whether they are searching on Google, asking ChatGPT, reading an AI Overview, using Perplexity, or speaking to a voice assistant. That requires two things: • Strong Local SEO fundamentals • Modern AEO and GEO strategies that increase visibility within AI-generated answers I work at the intersection of both. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗔 𝗧𝗬𝗣𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗦 𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘 𝗔𝗨𝗗𝗜𝗧 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 I evaluate your current search visibility, Google Business Profile performance, website structure, content assets, local rankings, and competitor landscape. I also identify how AI systems currently surface information within your industry and where opportunities exist to increase visibility. The goal is to determine the highest-impact opportunities before investing time and budget. 𝗟𝗢𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗘𝗢 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 • Google Business Profile optimization • Service page optimization • Location page optimization • Local citation management • NAP consistency • Technical SEO improvements • Internal linking • Review acquisition strategy • Local relevance signals These fundamentals continue to drive both local rankings and lead generation. 𝗔𝗜 𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗖𝗛 𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 (𝗔𝗘𝗢 + 𝗚𝗘𝗢) I help businesses increase visibility within: • Google AI Overviews • ChatGPT • Perplexity • Gemini • Voice-assisted search experiences This includes: • Entity-based SEO • Structured data implementation • Schema markup • FAQ architecture • Topical authority development • Semantic content optimization • Information gain strategies • Content clustering • Brand authority building The objective is simple: When AI systems answer questions in your market, your business becomes part of the conversation. 𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗘𝗫𝗘𝗖𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 Some clients need strategic guidance. Others need implementation. I can provide either or both. You work directly with me throughout the engagement. No account managers. No outsourcing. No handoffs. 𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗕𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦 Monthly reporting focuses on: • Rankings • Visibility • Calls • Leads • Organic growth • Completed initiatives • Next priorities I focus on business outcomes rather than vanity metrics. 𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗕𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗦 𝗜 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 • Law Firms • Dental Practices • Medical Practices • CPA Firms • Private Investigation Companies • Process Serving Companies • Home Service Businesses • Contractors • Real Estate Professionals • Med Spas • Other Local Service Businesses 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗙𝗜𝗖 𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 • Local SEO • Google Business Profile Optimization • AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) • GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) • AI Search Optimization • Technical SEO • On-Page SEO • Content Strategy • Content Brief Development • Internal Linking • Local Citation Building • Competitor Research • Keyword Research • Service Page SEO • Location Page SEO • Schema Markup • SEO Audits • Monthly SEO Management 𝗧𝗢𝗢𝗟𝗦 • Ahrefs • Semrush • Google Search Console • Google Analytics • Screaming Frog • BrightLocal • Surfer SEO • WordPress • Elementor 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗖𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗠𝗘 • Experience Working With U.S. Service Businesses • Long-Term Partnership Mindset • Clear Communication • Detail-Oriented Approach I intentionally work with a limited number of clients at one time so each engagement receives the attention it deserves.
