Local SEO Expert | GBP/GMB Optimization | AI SEO & AEO | SEO Audits
Not showing up on Google Maps? Competitors outranking you? Losing calls to businesses that shouldn't be above you? I help local businesses fix exactly that - rank in the Google Maps 3-Pack, optimize Google Business Profiles, and turn local search into real calls and revenue. 📩 Want to see what's wrong? Send me your website + location - I'll do a quick 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 Local SEO audit. No charge, no commitment. I'm Umar. I've spent over 2 years building and running my own businesses online. I know what it feels like when the phone isn't ringing and competitors are eating your lunch. That hands-on experience is why I focus on results that actually matter to you - more calls, more leads, more revenue - not vanity metrics that look nice in a report but don't pay the bills. 📍 What I help with: ✅ Google Business Profile (GBP, GMB) - full setup, audit, categories, services, posts, photos, Q&A. Everything to get you into the 3-Pack and keep you there. ✅ Local SEO - keyword research, on-page optimization, local landing pages, service area targeting. Built to rank where your customers are actually searching. ✅ Citation Building & NAP Cleanup - manual submissions to trusted directories with 100% accurate business info. I find and fix inconsistencies that quietly hurt your rankings. ✅ On-Page & Technical SEO - meta titles, headings, schema markup, site speed, Core Web Vitals, indexing fixes. The foundation that makes everything else work. ✅ Off-Page SEO & Link Building - white-hat backlinks from real, relevant, high-authority sources. No spam, no PBNs, no shortcuts. ✅ AI SEO & AEO - optimizing your presence for Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other AI search platforms. Most businesses aren't ready for this shift yet. I make sure you are. ✅ SEO Audits & Strategy - complete breakdown of what's broken, what's working, and a clear action plan. Not a confusing 50-page PDF - a real plan you can act on. 🧠 How I work: 1. Audit your current setup - rankings, GBP health, competitors, technical issues 2. Fix the foundation - technical SEO, on-page, site structure 3. Optimize your Google Business Profile for the Local 3-Pack 4. Build citations, clean up NAP, establish local authority 5. Build quality backlinks that move the needle 6. Track, report, adjust - real numbers, no fluff No mystery. No jargon. You'll always know what I'm doing and why. 🎯 Industries I work with: 🏠 Home Services - Plumbing, HVAC, Roofing, Electricians, Pest Control, Landscaping ⚖️ Professional - Lawyers, Accountants, Real Estate Agents, Consultants 🏥 Healthcare - Dentists, Chiropractors, Clinics, Med Spas, Therapists 🍔 Food & Hospitality - Restaurants, Cafes, Catering, Hotels 🚗 Automotive - Repair Shops, Towing, Detailing, Auto Glass 💎 Why clients choose to work with me: → I do the work myself - no outsourcing, no automation spam → I focus on calls, leads, revenue - not traffic that doesn't convert → Clear reporting - you always know what's happening and why → I've run my own businesses - I understand your pressure firsthand → No long-term lock-ins - I earn your trust every single month 📩 Ready?
