Local SEO Expert | On-page SEO | Technical SEO | SEO Audit | AEO | GEO
The businesses ranking above you on Google Maps didn't get there by accident. A few of them hired me. I have helped clients across the US and UK dominate their local search through Local SEO, Google Business Profile Optimization, On-Page SEO, Technical SEO, and AEO, and those same results are available for your business too. If you're ready to stop watching competitors take your customers, click "INVITE" & let's talk. 🗽 4+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AS A LOCAL SEO EXPERT 🏅 TOP RATED PLUS | TOP 3% ON UPWORK 🏆 GOOGLE-CERTIFIED SEO SPECIALIST 💵 GENERATED $1M+ IN REVENUE FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES A few years ago, I met a small business owner who had great services, loyal local customers, and a lot of passion. But online, he was invisible. Bigger businesses with more money were showing up first on Google searches, while his amazing local business was stuck on page 3, losing customers who were right in his neighborhood. In 2 months, I moved them into the top 3 Map pack and made them “THE OBVIOUS CHOICE” in their local area. That experience changed my perspective. It made me realize how important good online visibility is for small businesses. Now, when an SEO Expert is needed, local businesses rely on me to improve their Local SEO, SEO Audit results, and overall Website Optimization. SO HERE IS WHAT I DO 👇 My name is Salman Shahid, a Local SEO Expert and AEO/GEO Specialist helping local businesses and digital agency clients rank higher on Google Search, Google Maps, and AI platforms like Google SGE, ChatGPT Search & Perplexity. Local search is shifting fast and I make sure my clients stay ahead, not behind. I specialize in: ✔ Local SEO & Google Business Profile Optimization ✔ AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) & GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) ✔ On-Page SEO & Technical SEO ✔ Off-Page SEO & high-quality local link building ✔ Full SEO Audits & Competitor Analysis ✔ Ranking businesses in the Top Map Pack with consistent improvements in calls, traffic & conversions. My approach is clear: make your business “THE OBVIOUS CHOICE” when customers search in your city. HOW I DELIVER RESULTS: My process starts with a deep Local SEO Audit and Competitor Analysis uncovering every technical issue, ranking blocker, and competitor advantage. I fix all technical issues first, making your site fully clean and crawlable before anything else. From those findings I build a custom SEO Strategy prioritized around your niche, city, and competition. I then execute On-Page SEO alongside content creation service pages, location pages, and targeted content optimized for local keywords, NLP entities, and structured data. During this same phase Google Business Profile is fully optimized in parallel tuning categories, geo-signals, photos, and posts to dominate the Top 3 Map Pack. All content is also optimized for AEO and GEO so your business gets cited on ChatGPT, and Perplexity.
