Local SEO services
Show up on Google Maps and in 'near me' searches when people in your area are ready to call or visit.
01 · The short answer
Local SEO Services help your business appear in Google Maps and local searches like 'plumber near me', so nearby customers call or visit. I work with shops, clinics, garages and local service businesses. I plan, run and report in plain English. Pricing depends on your goals, so book a free call for a clear quote.
It includes your Google Business Profile, local pages for each area you serve, reviews and directory listings.
02 · The problem
“Our competitors show up on the map, and we don’t show up at all.”
“The phone barely rings from Google, even though we’re right around the corner.”
“Our listing still shows old hours and an old phone number.”
Here’s how I fix that. A complete, trusted local presence that Google is happy to show nearby.
03 · What you get
Five parts that together decide whether you appear for “near me” searches.

Categories, services, photos and hours set up so Google understands what you do.

06 · Why me
I’m Md. Solayman (Rumon). I have worked in growth for over 10 years, in the UK, the US, Australia and Bangladesh.
I have been a Toptal Verified Expert since May 2025 and Upwork Top Rated since December 2022. I also run growth at three companies of my own, so my own money is on the line too.
I measure local SEO in phone calls and visits, because that is how local businesses get paid.
“Growth is never accidental. It is engineered.”

10 · FAQs
Local SEO services help your business appear when people nearby search for what you offer. That means Google Maps results, “near me” searches and local pages on your website. I fix your listing, build trust through reviews and listings, and report the calls and visits that follow.
The cost depends on how many locations you serve and how tough your local market is. Messy listings add work too. One location costs less than several. Book a free call and I will give you a clear quote in plain terms.
Fixes to your listing can help within a few weeks. Stronger map positions usually build over two to four months, as reviews and local pages add up. Busy city markets take longer than small towns. I report calls and visits monthly, so you can see the trend early.
You can handle the basics yourself: claim your listing, add photos and ask for reviews. Help pays off when competitors are strong, listings are messy or you serve many areas. I bring a tested routine and the time to keep it going every month.
If your listing is verified and complete, you can appear on the map quickly for your own name. Showing up for general searches like “plumber near me” takes longer. It depends on distance, reviews and how complete your details are. I work on all three.
No. Businesses that travel to customers, like cleaners or electricians, can list a service area instead of a shop address. Google has clear rules for this, and I follow them. What you can’t do is invent an address to rank in a town you don’t serve.
Reviews matter a lot, both for ranking and for winning the click. Google looks at how many you have, how recent they are and how you reply. People read them before calling. I help you ask for reviews politely and reply to every one, good or bad.
Yes. I build a useful page for each main area, with local details, not copies with the town name swapped. Your listing and site then tell Google clearly where you work. This is often the biggest gap for businesses that serve a wide area.
