Local SEO Expert helping service-based businesses rank higher on Google, dominate local search, and generate consistent calls, visits, appointments, leads, etc. If your business depends on local customers, I can help you turn SEO into a predictable revenue channel, not just traffic. I’ve been doing SEO since 2012, working with businesses in the US, UK, and Canada, including highly competitive markets. Most SEO freelancers focus on rankings. I focus on: ✔ Leads ✔ Revenue ✔ Market domination Because rankings without conversions are useless. What I can help you with: • Local SEO optimization • Google My Business (GMB) optimization & ranking • SEO audits (technical + on-page + off-page) • Fixing ranking drops • On-page SEO & content optimization • Technical SEO fixes • Competitive analysis & keyword strategy • Linkbuilding and citation management • Lead-focused SEO strategy for service businesses Results I've delivered: • Ranked local businesses on page 1 in competitive markets • Increased organic leads for service-based companies • Built SEO systems generating consistent inbound leads • Helped businesses compete against bigger brands (I can walk you through real examples if needed.) Who I work best with: • Service-based businesses (local or national) • Companies serious about growth • Clients who care about ROI, not just rankings If you're looking for cheap SEO → I’m not the right fit. If you want results → let’s talk. Send me your website, and I’ll quickly tell you what’s holding your rankings back — no fluff.
