MD. Rifat M.

Most local business websites have the same problem: one "Services" page, a thin "Areas We Serve" list, and a Google Business Profile that says almost nothing. Google can't rank what it can't understand, and AI tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews can't recommend a business they can't clearly describe. I'm Md. Rifat Mia, a Local SEO Specialist who fixes this from the page up. With 6 years of experience in Local SEO, On-page SEO, Technical SEO, Link Building, and content optimization, I have completed 165 projects while working at an SEO agency. Now, after recently joining Upwork, I have already completed 37 projects and delivered 833+ hours of client work. I build the pages and content signals that help local businesses rank on Google Maps, improve local search visibility, and get mentioned in AI answers. SOUND FAMILIAR? ❌ You rank for your business name but not for "[your service] near me" ❌ One service page is trying to rank for every service you offer ❌ Your location pages are duplicates with only the city name changed ❌ Your Google Business Profile description, services, and posts are empty or generic ❌ ChatGPT and AI Overviews recommend your competitors, not you A QUICK EXAMPLE OF WHAT I CHANGE Before: An "Our Services" page with one paragraph covering plumbing, drains, and water heaters. After: A dedicated page titled "Water Heater Repair & Replacement in Tampa, FL" with local proof, pricing FAQs, service-area details, LocalBusiness and Service schema, and direct answers to the questions customers ask AI tools. One page, one clear intent, built to rank on Google and be quoted by AI. WHAT I OPTIMIZE ▸ Service Pages: One page per core service, built around local search intent and written to turn visitors into calls. ▸ Location & Service Area Pages: Unique, useful city pages with real local details, not duplicate templates. ▸ Google Business Profile Content: Categories, services, descriptions, products, and posts aligned with your website. ▸ Titles, Meta & Headings: Local keyword targeting that improves click-through rates from search. ▸ Local Schema Markup: LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, and Review schema so search engines and AI can understand your business clearly. ▸ AEO: Answer-first FAQ content for AI Overviews, featured snippets, People Also Ask, and voice search. ▸ GEO: Entity-rich content and consistent brand information so ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity can confidently recommend your business. ▸ Internal Linking: A clear structure connecting services and locations so authority flows to your important pages. ▸ Citations & NAP Consistency: Matching business details everywhere your business is listed.
