Local SEO| Google Business Profile Optimization|Map Pack SEO | AEO|GEO

Most local businesses are invisible on Google Maps. Not because their service is bad — but because nobody optimized their local presence. I fix that. Fast. Imagine your customer searches "best HVAC near me" or "top dentist in Boston" Instead of your competitors, your business shows up first — on Google Maps, in search, and even in AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. 📍🤖 That's not luck. That's strategy. And it's exactly what I deliver. 👋 Who I Am I'm Fahad, a Local SEO specialist with 5+ years of hands-on experience in Google Business Profile (GBP) optimization, Google Maps rankings, local search visibility, and AI-driven search (AEO & GEO). For 5 years I worked exclusively with a US-based food and recipe brand — growing their presence from zero to 679,000+ organic clicks and 32,100+ ranked keywords across 3 websites. Before you hire any Local SEO freelancer, ask them to show you results like that in Google Search Console.
