Google Business Profile & Local SEO Expert | Map Pack, Citations, AI Search Visibility

I help small and medium businesses get found where their customers are actually looking, Google Maps, local search, and increasingly, AI assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini.

What I focus on?

Local SEO is not general SEO with a city name added. It runs on a different set of signals: profile completeness, category accuracy, citation consistency, review velocity, and proximity. I work on all of them, in the order that actually moves the needle.

Core services:

Google Business Profile optimization: categories, services, products, descriptions, geo-tagged media, Q&A. Roughly 32% of local pack ranking weight sits here, and most profiles are half-finished.
Citation audit and NAP cleanup: finding the wrong phone numbers, outdated addresses, and duplicate listings that quietly split a business's ranking signal. Accuracy over volume, always.
Local schema and technical setup, LocalBusiness and Service markup, service-area configuration, and location pages.
AI search visibility (AEO/GEO): Bing Places, Apple Business Connect, entity consistency, and measured prompt testing across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. ChatGPT's live lookups run on Bing's index, and almost no local business has claimed that listing.
Ongoing local SEO management: posts, review responses, citation maintenance, and monthly geo-grid reporting.

How I work?

I measure before and after. Every engagement starts with a geo-grid baseline so results are judged against real data rather than personalized search results. The deliverable is a report showing what changed, not a list of tasks performed.

I'm also clear about limits. I don't guarantee #1 rankings. Google weighs proximity, prominence, and relevance, and nobody controls proximity. I don't sell reviews, because buying them violates Google's policy and the FTC's Consumer Review Rule and risks profile suspension. Building a compliant system that earns real ones works better and lasts longer.

Agencies welcome. White-label delivery available, with unbranded reporting and bulk pricing for multiple profiles.

Industries I work with most: home services (HVAC, plumbing, roofing, and electrical); medical and dental practices; med spas and aesthetics; legal; real estate; cleaning companies; and multi-location franchises.
