Local SEO expert: show up first when people nearby search for what you sell
The Google Maps top three gets most of the calls. I get you into it: Google Business Profile done properly, reviews that keep coming, the right categories, and a page for every area you serve. As a local SEO consultant I have done this for clinics, trades and shops worldwide since 2018.

Competitors with worse reviews rank above you
The map pack is decided by three things, and reviews are only one of them.
Your profile was suspended or dropped
A category change, a duplicate listing or a name edit can take you off the map overnight.
Calls dropped this season
Nothing changed on your side. Something changed on the map.

The map pack is decided by three things
Proximity, relevance and prominence. You cannot move your office, so I work on the other two.
- Relevance: the right categoryThe primary category is the biggest lever in local ranking. Most businesses pick it once and never look again.
- Prominence: reviews and mentionsReview velocity, review keywords and mentions on local websites tell Google you are the real thing.
- A website that backs the listingService and area pages that say what you do and where, so the profile and the site agree.
How local SEO consulting works
01
Profile and competitor check
Your listing, your top three competitors and what separates you.
02
Fix the profile
Categories, services, photos, duplicates and the details that must match everywhere.
03
Reviews and pages
A review process your staff can keep up, and the area and service pages that back it.
04
Track calls, not rankings
Calls, direction requests and bookings from Maps, reported every month.
Questions about local SEO
How long does local SEO take?
Profile, category and review fixes often show movement in four to eight weeks. Website work takes three to six months. The audit tells you which comes first.
Do you work with multi-location businesses?
Yes. Each location gets its own profile and page, managed in one plan. For franchises, see the franchise SEO consultant page.
Can you get my suspended profile back?
Usually. I find what caused the suspension, fix it, and file the reinstatement with the evidence Google asks for.
Do I need a local SEO agency or a consultant?
A consultant finds and fixes what is wrong and sets up a process your team can keep running. If you want the ongoing work done for you, my team at Branding Dask handles it.
