Local SEO Expert | Rank in Google Maps 3-Pack & AI Search (AEO/GEO)
Hi, I'm Shah Sultan, a Local SEO Specialist who helps service businesses rank in the Google Maps 3-pack and get recommended inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Perplexity. When someone nearby searches "dentist near me" or asks ChatGPT for the best HVAC company in town, your business should be the answer. Across 10+ years and 244 completed Upwork projects, that's the outcome I've delivered for local businesses again and again. THE PROBLEM I SOLVE Most local businesses don't lose calls because their service is worse. They lose because their Google Business Profile is underoptimized, citations are inconsistent, location pages are thin, and AI engines have no clear signals to recommend them. I fix all of it, so more nearby customers find you, trust you, and call you. WHAT YOU'LL GET 1. Google Business Profile Optimization: categories, services, photos, posts, and review strategy that move you into the map pack. 2. Citations & NAP Cleanup: consistent listings across major directories and industry platforms so Google trusts your business data. 3. Location & Service Pages: city and service pages that rank and convert without looking like spam. 4. Review & Reputation Strategy: more 5-star reviews, and review content that strengthens your rankings. 5. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization): structured content and FAQ schema that win featured snippets, People Also Ask, and voice search. 6. GEO & AI SEO: entity building, brand mentions, and content formatting that get your business cited in ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Gemini, and Perplexity. 7. Technical & On-Page SEO: speed, Core Web Vitals, LocalBusiness schema, internal linking, and crawlability fixed end to end. 8. Local Link Building: ethical, relevant local and industry links that lift your authority. 9. Plain-English Reporting: map pack rankings across your service area, calls, form leads, and traffic. PROVEN RESULTS ✩ Moved dental, law, HVAC, plumbing, roofing, and restoration businesses from page 3 into the local 3-pack. ✩ Recovered organic traffic for sites hit by Google updates by rebuilding technical foundations and content quality. ✩ Positioned medical clinics, real estate firms, and hospitality brands as the recommended answer in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. INDUSTRIES I SPECIALIZE IN ✩ Medical & Healthcare: medical clinics, dermatology, plastic surgery, orthodontists, optometrists, therapists, drug rehab centers, veterinary clinics ✩ Home Services: roofing, HVAC, plumbers, garage door, painting contractors, flooring companies, cleaning companies, junk removal, towing, solar companies ✩ Finance & Professional Services: financial advisors, mortgage brokers, insurance agents, real estate, architects, MSPs (managed IT) ✩ Hospitality & Local Businesses: hotels, restaurants, spas, gyms, photographers, florists, funeral homes, self storage Every industry has its own search behavior, competition, and trust requirements. Healthcare and finance, for example, need stronger credibility signals to rank. I build a strategy for your niche, not a one-size-fits-all template. HOW I WORK 1. Discovery Call: I learn your services, service area, best customers, and growth target. 2. Local SEO Audit: GBP, citations, reviews, website, competitors, and AI search visibility, with fixes ranked by impact. 3. Fix & Implement: I execute the work myself instead of handing you a to-do list. 4. 90-Day Roadmap: local, content, AEO/GEO, and authority plan tied to leads and revenue. 5. Ongoing Updates: daily progress updates plus weekly and monthly reports. Tools: Ahrefs, SEMrush, Google Search Console, BrightLocal, GA4, Screaming Frog, Surfer SEO. WHO THIS IS FOR ✩ Single and multi-location businesses that want more calls from their city and surrounding areas ✩ Practices and firms losing map pack spots to competitors who are less qualified ✩ Owners who want to show up in AI search before their competitors do ✩ Agencies needing a senior white-label local SEO partner they can trust WHY CLIENTS KEEP COMING BACK ✩ A partner who fixes things, not one who delivers an audit and disappears ✩ Strategy tied to calls, leads, and revenue, not vanity metrics ✩ Honest answers: if SEO isn't the right lever for your goal, you'll hear it before you spend a dollar ✩ Fluent English, 50+ hrs/week availability, and flexible time zones LET'S TALK Send me your website, your city, and your main service. I'll tell you where you stand in the map pack and AI search today, what's holding you back, and what your first 30 days would look like.
