When neighbors search, you show up first.

I'm Saqib, and I put local businesses on the map — literally. Google Business Profile, Maps rankings, ‘near me’ searches, local citations. If your customers come from your city or region, this is the highest-ROI marketing you'll ever do.

Local SEO

Your best customers are already searching.

Someone three streets away just searched ‘plumber near me’ — or dentist, or lawyer, or whatever you do. They'll call one of the three businesses Google shows in the map pack. The other seven on page one barely get a glance. If that's not you, you're not losing to a better business. You're losing to a better Google Business Profile.

Local SEO is the most unfair advantage in marketing: it costs a fraction of ads, and it puts you in front of people at the exact moment they're ready to buy. I optimize your entire local presence — your Business Profile, your reviews engine, your local citations, your location pages — so ‘near me’ searches turn into phone calls. Most clients see map movement in 4–8 weeks.

The service

What I actually do for you: local SEO.

01 / Google Business Profile

Your new storefront.

Your Business Profile is the first thing local searchers see — before your website. I optimize every field, category, service, and photo; set up posts and Q&A; and build a review strategy that keeps fresh 5-star reviews flowing. A neglected profile leaks customers daily. A tuned one prints them.

02 / Citations + location pages

Be everywhere local search looks.

I clean up and build your citations across the directories Google trusts, fix the inconsistent name/address/phone data that's confusing the algorithm, and create location pages on your site that rank for ‘[service] in [city]’ searches. Every signal pointing the same way: you're the obvious local choice.

Deliverables

What’s covered in every local SEO engagement.

  • Google Business Profile optimization — categories, services, photos, posts, Q&A — everything tuned.
  • Review generation strategy — a simple system that turns happy customers into a steady stream of 5-star reviews.
  • Citation cleanup + building — consistent name, address, phone everywhere Google checks.
  • Map pack targeting — the specific signals that get you into the top 3 map results.
  • Location pages — ‘[service] in [city]’ pages on your site that capture nearby searches. I create location pages only for areas you genuinely serve. Each page should reflect the service, coverage, and search intent of that market—not just swap in a different city name.
  • ‘Near me’ keyword targeting — the searches with the highest buying intent, mapped and captured.

Working together

What it is like to work with me on local SEO.

You work with me personally. The person who audits your site is the person who fixes it: no handoffs, no account managers.

I tell you what moved, what it means, and what is next. No jargon, no vanity metrics, no vanishing after the invoice.

FAQs

Local SEO questions you're probably asking.

Faster than national — most clients see map movement in 4–8 weeks, and strong results in 3–4 months. If your competition is asleep, it can be quicker.
The 3 businesses Google shows with a map at the top of local searches. It gets the overwhelming majority of calls — ranking #4 is barely better than #40.
No. Service-area businesses (plumbers, cleaners, agencies) can rank locally without a storefront. I'll set your profile up correctly for your situation.
I'll build you a system that makes reviews easy for happy customers — timing, templates, follow-up. I can't fake reviews (and you don't want me to), but I can make real ones flow.
A website without local optimization is invisible to ‘near me’ searches. Your site is one piece — the profile, citations, and reviews are the others. I make them work together.
