Local SEO Specialist — Ongoing Execution for Manhattan Dental Practice

I manage marketing for a dental practice in Manhattan (919 2nd Ave). We just resolved a canonical tag indexing issue that was suppressing the site from Google's index, and expanded our sitemap from 13 to 40 URLs. Technical foundation is now solid. I need an SEO specialist to take over ongoing execution and growth from here. WHAT'S ALREADY DONE: - Canonical/indexing issues resolved - Sitemap expanded and submitted - URL structure in place (pillar + child page hierarchy) - Core service pages built, several more in progress WHAT I NEED ONGOING: 1. On-page SEO for new/existing service pages (title tags, meta descriptions, internal linking, content optimization) 2. Local citation building and NAP consistency across directories 3. Google Business Profile management (posts, Q&A, photo updates, review response cadence) 4. Monthly rank tracking and reporting on target implant/dental keywords 5. Backlink/authority building recommendations REQUIREMENTS: - Proven local SEO experience, dental/medical niche strongly preferred - Own Ahrefs or SEMrush access for competitive analysis (I use SearchAtlas for my own technical monitoring, you don't need to match my tool) - Comfortable working from a documented brief (I have clear copy rules, prohibited terms, and brand guidelines you'll need to follow exactly) - Available for a short paid consultation call first before we commit to a retainer STRUCTURE: I want to start with a paid 30-45 min consultation to see if we're a fit before any commitment. If it clicks, we move to a monthly retainer. Please start your proposal with "implant" so I know you read this
