Job Title: Local SEO / GBP Specialist
Focus: Fixing the technical issues that negatively impact map pack rankings for small businesses, service-area businesses, and single-location shops.
About the Role
I specialize in Google Business Profile (GBP) optimization and local SEO. I help businesses that are being outranked by competitors with inferior reviews but cleaner profiles. My approach focuses on technical cleanup and structural optimization rather than "glamorous" quick fixes.
Common issues I resolve include:
- Consolidating duplicate listings caused by old addresses or rebrands to ensure review equity is not split.
- Optimizing primary categories to ensure they match specific search intent rather than generic terms.
Services Provided
- Full GBP Audit: Includes categories, NAP (Name, Address, Phone) consistency, photos, posts, Q&A, and duplicate listing cleanup.
- Website Local Signals: Implementation of schema markup, NAP matching, and location pages for multi-location businesses.
- Citation Cleanup: Cleaning up business information across online directories.
- Review Strategy: Developing systems for review velocity and professional responses (no review buying).
- Geogrid Ranking Scans: Providing visibility into how you rank across your entire service area, rather than just a single spot check.
Compensation & Terms
- Rate: $15/hr or $100 flat per audit.
- Fixed Pricing: Happy to scope a fixed price once the listing is reviewed.
- Turnaround: Audit reports are delivered in 3–5 days, with ongoing work available if required.
Expectations
I provide a clear, prioritized plan based on what is actually broken, rather than a checklist of vague "best practices." Please note that I cannot promise a specific timeline for achieving a #1 ranking, as Google's algorithm shifts constantly.
Get Started
I am happy to provide a quick, free look at your GBP. If you are interested, please drop your business name or a link in the comments. No pitch—just an honest assessment of what I see.
