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.

Building a directory website is exciting until you realize it’s way more complicated than installing a theme and adding listings. Most directory owners tell me the same things: “I bought a theme thinking it was plug-and-play — it wasn’t.” “My search filters don’t work the way users expect.” “The listing submission process is confusing.” “Members aren’t upgrading because the monetization isn’t clear.” “The site feels slow… and support keeps telling me it’s fine.” IF ANY OF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR, THEN YOU ARE EXACTLY THE KIND OF CLIENT I HELP Hi, I’m Goodness, a Directory & Membership Website Specialist focused on Brilliant Directories, WordPress directory themes (ListingPro, MyListing, Listeo, Directorist, ListingHive, Listify), and fully custom listing systems & apps. For the past several years, I’ve been building, fixing, optimizing, and scaling directories for Local business listings, Service provider platforms, Professional associations, Membership communities, Classified ads & niche directories. I build directory-based businesses that attract listings, convert visitors into members, and generate recurring revenue. WHAT I SPECIALIZE IN Brilliant Directories - Customizing BD themes, widgets, and modules - Member dashboards, listing forms, and paid plan structures - Search filters, geolocation search, maps, and SEO URLs - Monetization: paid listings, featured spots, membership levels WordPress Directory Builds (ListingPro, MyListing, ListingHive, Listify, and more) - Custom fields, listing logic, map search & filtering - Frontend submission systems - Payment integrations (Stripe, PayPal, memberships) - Directory speed, caching & mobile optimization Strategy, Optimization & Repair - Fixing broken directory structures - Cleaning up messy fields & taxonomies - Improving low-converting membership pages - Making directory search actually useful - Ranking category pages & listings for SEO I bring together technical skill, user experience understanding, and monetization strategy to make your platform not just functional but profitable. If you want a directory that loads fast, converts members, ranks on search engines, and actually works the way users expect, you’ll want someone who specializes in exactly that and that’s what I do every day. Send me a message with what you’re building or what’s currently frustrating you and I’ll help you turn your directory into the platform you envisioned.

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗨𝗽𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 2021. 181 projects done, 8,000+ hours logged, 100% Job Success across all of them. I mostly do virtual assistance, property management, lead generation, and GIS data entry. To give you a feel for the actual work: I've built B2B lead lists for real estate, EdTech, healthcare, agencies, and non-profits; researched and reached out to TikTok and Instagram influencers for brand campaigns; compiled speaker and attendee lists for industry conferences (lots of EdTech work specifically); cleaned up CRM records and built databases from scratch; and handled day-to-day VA work like inbox management, scheduling, follow-ups, and document prep. What I'm strongest at is 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵, 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁. That's where 8,000+ hours of practice show up. I'll happily take on other VA-style tasks too, but if you need graphic design, paid ads, or coding, I'm probably not the best fit. The clearest signal I can give about how I work is 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. A few clients have come back to me for 9, 7, and 3 separate projects. That tends to say more than anything I could write here.

Sending proposal after proposal and hoping something sticks is not a strategy, it is exhausting. Most freelancers lose work to slower replies, weaker profiles, and cover letters that talk about themselves instead of the client. I fixed all three. ✅ Profile optimization that ranks for the keywords your buyers search ✅ Proposals built around client pain points, not copy-paste templates ✅ Real-time job alerts so your proposal lands while the post is still warm ✅ Private client portal with live notifications and proposal tracking ✅ A/B tested cover letters that keep improving response rate every week Here's the thing. This is a speed game now. The freelancers winning the work in 2026 are the ones whose proposal hits the client's inbox in the first 15 minutes, written tightly enough that the opening two lines stop the scroll. Most freelancers are still refreshing the search page, sending generic cover letters, and wondering why nothing replies. That gap between slow and fast, generic and targeted, is exactly where I work. Profile Optimization That Actually Ranks Most profiles look fine but rank for nothing. A proper optimization starts with what your buyers are actually typing into search, not what looks good on a CV. Title rebuilt around high-intent low-competition keywords. Overview restructured around results instead of a job history. Portfolio repositioned so the strongest work shows first. Skills aligned with current search behavior. The goal is one thing: more invites landing in your inbox without you chasing them. Proposal Writing Proposals get written for the specific client, not pasted from a template with the name swapped. Every cover letter opens with a hook tied to the client's actual problem, not "I am a passionate developer with 5 years experience." I read past the obvious in a job post, catch the cues most freelancers miss, and use them to make your proposal sound like you actually read the brief. Real-Time Job Alerts And Speed Custom filters built around your niche, skill set, and budget range, with real-time alerts so you see the right jobs the moment they post. I apply quickly, while the client is still fresh and the proposal list is short. The data is clear, proposals submitted in the first 15 minutes get read at much higher rates than those sent two hours later. Private Client Portal And Analytics You get a private portal with everything in one place, job alerts, proposal status, weekly performance, and the analytics behind it. Proposals sent, view rate, reply rate, hire rate, and which cover letter styles are pulling. No guessing, no monthly status email that says nothing. A/B Testing And Weekly Improvement Cover letter formats get tested against each other so the winners get more reach over time. Weekly performance reports show exactly what is working and what is being adjusted, with a short tag-up call each week to review and reset direction if needed. Industries I Work Across Software development, AI and machine learning, SaaS, web and mobile development, eCommerce, digital marketing, data and analytics, design and creative. Each field has its own language, its own buyer behavior, and its own way clients search. Your profile and proposals get tailored to match exactly what buyers in your space are looking for. Every day your profile sits un-optimized is a day your competitors get the jobs that should have been yours. If you are tired of sending proposals into the void, send me a message. I will take a quick look at your profile, show you exactly what is holding it back, and walk you through how the system will work for you. No long sales pitch, just a clear next step. proposal writer, profile optimization, lead generation, business development, cover letter writer, real-time job alerts, proposal writing, freelance growth strategy, account manager, agency growth, profile audit, keyword optimization, A/B testing proposals, virtual assistant, client acquisition

At A Glance: Directory Submission

The World Wide Web presents an immense ocean of websites, web pages, and data. This nearly endless source of information is, in and of itself, a barrier to effective communication between companies and clients. It has become increasingly important in recent years — as use of the Internet has become nearly ubiquitous in our daily professional and personal lives — to provide adequate and effective indexing and referencing for websites. Traditionally, this is handled by keywords and advanced algorithms that web crawlers and search engines use to present relevant material. Another commonly-used method is by organizing web pages and websites into respective categories. If you or your business is looking to maximize the visibility of your online presence, consider a directory submission freelancer on Upwork to make use of web directories.

A directory submission freelancer is a highly-skilled computer expert with extensive experience working with the Internet and web directories. A submitter works with you to categorize your web space by topic, then submits those categories to different web directories that can be used by clients and partners alike to quickly and easily find the information they’re looking for. Submission freelancers are available to work on segmented parts of your network and web space, or with your entire company’s web needs, providing you with a flexible and easily facilitated way to leverage the power of web directories. A freelance directory submitter is a cost-effective and proven way to increase your web presence visibility and generate additional views and visits for your web pages and websites.
