Rezaul K.
Local SEO Specialist | Rank on Google Maps & AI Overviews (AEO/GEO)
Hi, I'm Rezaul Karim, a Local SEO Specialist who helps local businesses get more calls, bookings, and walk-ins from Google Maps, Google AI Overviews, and AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Your customers don't only search Google anymore. They ask ChatGPT for "the best dentist near me," read the AI Overview before they scroll, and check your Maps reviews before they call. If your business isn't visible in all three places, those customers go to a competitor. With 5+ years of SEO experience, 35 completed Upwork jobs, and 700+ hours of client work across the USA, Canada, Australia, and Germany, I help local businesses win visibility in both traditional and AI search. WHAT I DO FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES Local SEO ✔ Google Business Profile setup, optimization, and ongoing posts ✔ Local citations and NAP consistency ✔ Location and service area landing pages ✔ Review generation strategy and review response guidance ✔ Local keyword research and map pack competitor analysis ✔ Local link building AI Search Optimization (AEO + GEO) ✔ Google AI Overviews optimization ✔ AEO for featured snippets, People Also Ask, and voice search ✔ GEO so ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude mention and recommend your business ✔ Entity-based SEO and brand mention building ✔ LocalBusiness, Service, and FAQ schema markup Website Foundations ✔ Technical SEO, site speed, and Core Web Vitals ✔ On-page optimization for service pages ✔ Internal linking and semantic content structure ✔ Google Search Console and GA4 setup and tracking PLATFORM EXPERTISE I work hands-on inside WordPress, Webflow, and Shopify, so I implement changes directly on your site instead of sending a task list to your developer. HOW WE'LL WORK TOGETHER 1. Local Visibility Audit: I review your Google Business Profile, citations, reviews, website, competitors, and how AI tools currently describe (or ignore) your business. 2. Action Plan: a prioritized roadmap focused on the fixes that bring in calls fastest. 3. Implementation: I do the work, from GBP optimization to schema and content updates. 4. Tracking & Reporting: clear monthly reports on map rankings, AI visibility, calls, and traffic. WHO I WORK WITH Service businesses, clinics, contractors, professional firms, and local retailers who want to rank in their city and show up when customers ask AI for a recommendation. I also support agencies as a white-label Local SEO partner. WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME ✔ 5+ years of hands-on SEO, focused on what works in search today ✔ Local SEO and AI search handled together, not as separate projects ✔ White-hat methods only, no shortcuts that put your Google profile at risk ✔ Clear communication, honest timelines, and regular updates ✔ Long-term growth focus, not quick wins that fade LET'S GET STARTED Send me your business name, website, and the city you serve. I'll check where you appear on Google Maps and in AI search, then tell you the first steps to bring in more local customers.
