Top-Rated Plus Local SEO Expert | Citations Building & Cleanup | GBP Optimization | 10 Years Experience
I've spent 10 years doing one thing really well — local SEO. Citations building, citations cleanup, and Google Business Profile optimization. That's my world, and I know it inside out.
Over that time, I've completed 1,000+ projects for businesses and agencies across the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and Ireland. One of my biggest projects was with LocalSpark.ai, where my team and I helped optimize local SEO for over 6,000 businesses. I've also worked long-term with agencies like BlueprintDigital, Local SEO Guide, Brandtech360, Icepick, Mapranks, and many more.
I work with a trained team of 10 specialists, which means projects get done accurately, on time, and at scale — without cutting corners.
Citations Building:
Most businesses starting out need citations built from scratch, and that's where I spend most of my time. I manually build listings across general, local, and niche-specific directories — ensuring every single one has consistent NAP, optimized descriptions, correct categories, logos, and photos. No automation shortcuts. Every listing is reviewed before I hand it over. You get a full Google Spreadsheet with live links, login credentials, and remarks — so you always know exactly what was done.
Citations Cleanup:
Inconsistent NAP, duplicate listings, unclaimed profiles — these are silent ranking killers. I audit everything using BrightLocal, Yext, and Moz Local, then go deeper manually to catch what tools miss. I claim, correct, and clean up every listing through direct outreach, and document every step so you have full transparency throughout.
Google Business Profile Optimization:
Your GBP is often the first thing a local customer sees. I handle the full setup and optimization — accurate NAP, categories, keyword-rich descriptions, photos, posts, hours, and ongoing maintenance. Whether it's a brand new profile or an underperforming one, I know what Google wants to see.
One of my clients said it best — "Fantastic experience. He clearly knows his stuff and has a great system in place. He's also extremely responsive and easy to communicate with." Another said I went so above and beyond that they gave me the first tip they'd ever given on Upwork.
That's the standard I hold myself and my team to on every single project.
If you're an agency, a local business owner looking for a reliable white-label partner, or a business owner who wants local SEO done properly, let's talk. I'm responsive, I communicate clearly, and I deliver what I promise.

I am a superb specialist in local SEO, local citations, citation audits and citation cleanup, citation building, Google My Business optimization and link building.
I do work manually and provide high authority, top local citations for local businesses located anywhere.
I have been working as a citation builder for the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Germany, Ireland, Singapore, the Netherlands, France and also other countries.
I can solve any problem that has to do with Google local citations.
On Upwork, I have successfully completed more than 17,600+ hours of work and 120+ projects 😲🏆
Here's how I approach managing local citation projects:
Step 1:
👉Citation Audit:
Consistency in local business citations might help or hurt your local SEO efforts. If you create a Google My Business listing or local listing for a business that already exists on that website (such as a closed company with the same name, address, or other information), you’ll start creating duplicates that will make all your work useless. So have to work first on these:
Search for existing citations.
Firstly, I use several search engines, online business directories and social media platforms to see where your business information appears. Search with your (NAPW information) company name, address, phone number and website individually and in combination. If I find matches, I will collect those links in a spreadsheet.
Identify inconsistent or duplicate citations.
After finding existing listings, I pay close attention to finding inconsistent or duplicate local SEO citations. Also, I will keep those links in the spreadsheet.
Step 2:
👉Create an industry-specific and location-based business directory:
I will submit your business information to niche directories and location-based directories that help search engines associate your business with specific industries.
Step 3:
👉Create new citations:
I create new local listings manually that do not already exist. I use 100% accurate NAP on all directories, which enhances your Google business listing's online presence, local ranking positions, and Google trust. I include all important information like business name, business address, phone number, website, description, relevant category, keywords, business hours, payment methods, establishment year, photos, videos, social media links, and other details that would be useful for potential customers.
Step 4:
👉Competitor Citations:
I will research your competitor’s citations in the top directory listing to understand their approaches and determine what works and what doesn't for your target audience. To rank for the extremely competitive keywords that drive sales, you need to know what the top competitors in your niche are doing and go above and beyond. This is why, I find the top five competitors in your niche and show their number of citations, domain authority (DA), number of reviews and photos.
Step 5:
👉Citation Clean-up:
In Step 1, I have already identified inconsistent or duplicate citations. So this time, I claim/update incorrect nap citations and remove duplicate listings.
Step 6:
👉Detailed reporting:
I will give you a spreadsheet with detailed reporting where you will get live URL of all submitted links, login details (username, email, password) other important notes.
I am strongly experienced in Brightlocal , Whitespark , Yext , Ahrefs, Semrush and Moz tools. I only use these tools to do rank tracking, competitor analysis, and find new resources.
Familiar with Asana, Trello, Monday.com, Slack, Smartsheet and more.

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 Madhusudan Dhar. I've spent over3 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

📩 Ready? Send me your website + location + main services.
I'll take a look and show you what's holding you back - free of charge.

A local business can have hundreds of citations and a complete Google Business Profile and still be almost invisible in Google Maps. That usually means the problem is not how much SEO work has been done. The website, GBP, and business listings are simply not telling Google the same story.
My job is to find where that problem is, starting with the citation foundation. I build, audit, and clean up citations so the business information is accurate and consistent across the web. When the issue goes beyond citations, I also improve the Google Business Profile and the wider Local SEO setup supporting it.
I’m a Top-Rated Plus freelancer with:
• 100% Job Success Score
• 5.0-star rating from 119 client reviews
• Experience across 188+ Upwork jobs
• More than 12,000 hours worked on Upwork
Here’s what I can help you with:
LOCAL CITATIONS
• General, niche, country-specific, location-based, and competitor citation building
• Citation audits, cleanup, and fixing incorrect citations
• NAP consistency checks and duplicate listing removal
• Claiming unverified listings
• Research for relevant citation opportunities
• Organized reporting with submission details, live links, login and status updates
GOOGLE BUSINESS PROFILE
• GBP setup, audits, and optimization
• Primary and secondary category research
• Services, business descriptions, Hours, photos, and Google Posts
• Review and optimization of applicable GBP attributes, including accessibility, business identity, service options, amenities, and payment options
• GBP competitor analysis.
• Verification support and suspension reviews
• Reinstatement assistance
• Ongoing profile updates and management
LOCAL SEO
• Local SEO audits with clear priorities
• Local keyword research and competitor analysis
• Location pages, service pages, and on-page optimization
•Technical SEO Audit and Fixing
• Google Maps and Local Pack ranking support
• Bright Local audits and Local Search Grid tracking
• Google Search Console, XML sitemap and Google Analytics 4 setup
• Local link building and off-page SEO
Tools I work with: BrightLocal, Screaming Frog, Ahrefs, Semrush, Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4, Asana, and Slack
Every citation project starts with the business, not a recycled directory list. I review the industry, location, existing listings, competitors, website, and Google Business Profile before deciding which citations should be built, corrected, claimed, or removed.
You’ll receive a clear report showing what was completed, the current status of each listing, and anything that still needs attention. If citation work alone won’t solve the wider problem, I’ll explain what should be addressed in the GBP or Local SEO setup and why.
I work with local businesses, service-area businesses, multi-location companies, and SEO agencies. White-label support is also available for ongoing citation, GBP, and Local SEO projects.
If your citations are incomplete, inconsistent, duplicated, or difficult to manage—or if you need help with Google Business Profile or Local SEO—send me your business name, website, GBP link, and target location. I’ll review the current setup and explain the most practical place to start.
