Your business needs to show up in two places now: Google search results and the AI answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) your customers are increasingly asking instead. I help businesses win both.
I'm Akhil, a Local and Technical SEO specialist with 6+ years of experience and a 100% Job Success Score on Upwork. My core focus is Google Business Profile and local search, getting businesses found, trusted, and chosen in map packs and local results, combined with Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) so that same visibility carries over into AI search tools.
Google Business Profile & Local SEO
This is where I get my strongest, most consistent results. Full GBP setup and optimization, local citation building, review strategy, and Google Maps ranking work that gets businesses found by customers searching nearby. I've handled multi-location profiles as well as single-location businesses that needed their local presence rebuilt from the ground up.
Technical SEO
Site audits and fixes across WordPress, Astro, and modern JS frameworks: crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, structured data, and technical health checks using Google Search Console. Technical problems are often invisible to the client until they're pointed out, and fixing them is frequently what unlocks growth that content and keyword work alone can't.
AI Search Optimization (AEO/GEO)
Structuring your site and content so AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity can find, trust, and cite your business: schema markup, clear direct-answer formatting, and entity signals. This is still an emerging area, and I'm building it on top of a proven technical and local SEO foundation rather than leading with it before results back it up.
AI Content Writing & Editing
SEO-optimized content that reads naturally for people and is structured cleanly enough for AI systems to parse and cite. I write and edit with both audiences in mind, human readers first, AI parsing second.
On-Page SEO & Keyword Research
Keyword strategy, competitor gap analysis, and on-page optimization tied to real search intent rather than volume alone.
How I work:
Audit. I check your current standing across Google search, Google Business Profile, and AI search visibility to find exactly where you're losing ground.
Strategy. A prioritized action plan based on what will actually move rankings and traffic, not busywork.
Execution. I do the work myself, technical fixes, GBP optimization, content, schema. No handoffs, no delays.
Reporting. Clear, regular updates on rankings, local visibility, and traffic so you always know what's working and why.
Recent work:
Diagnosed and fixed technical SEO issues on a modern Astro and Vercel website using Google Search Console
Managed local SEO and social media growth for an e-waste recycling business
Delivered full SEO management for an established local service business on WordPress, sustained over several months of ongoing work
Conducted in-depth SEO analysis and strategy using Semrush
Supported social media management and engagement work for a client building their online presence
Tools I use: Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Semrush, WordPress, Google Business Profile
Why clients work with me:
100% Job Success Score, consistent 5-star feedback, and clients who specifically call out clear communication and reliability. I treat every project, whether it's a one-time SEO fix or an ongoing multi-month engagement, with the same level of attention and fast turnaround.
If you want to know exactly where your business is losing visibility, in Google, in your local area, or in AI search, message me. I respond fast and I'm currently accepting new clients.
