I build and rank websites for local service businesses across the UK, US, and Pakistan — home removals, custom fabrication and home improvement, aesthetic clinics, and trades. My work runs end to end rather than as isolated tasks. That means keyword and competitor research, site architecture built around city and service pages, the WordPress build itself, Google Business Profile optimisation, local citations, and analytics with call tracking so clients can trace enquiries back to the keyword that produced them. Selected results: • Ranked a Nashville aesthetics clinic against a national chain — 1,245 clicks from 21,200 impressions in three months, driven entirely by non-branded commercial searches • Ranked a custom countertop company into the Google local pack in Jacksonville, FL • Built a Glasgow removals site across 12 neighbourhood pages, with search impressions roughly doubling over three months I also handle the technical side most local SEO work skips: schema markup implementation and validation, bulk content and meta updates via WP All Import without breaking URL structures, and Search Console diagnostics.
