Local SEO & AEO Specialist
Mar 2025 - Present • 1 yr 7 mos
Local search started changing fast as AI Overviews and chat-based search began pulling attention away from the standard 10 blue links, and most agencies weren't touching it yet. Took on early Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) work alongside standard local SEO: implemented structured data and schema markup so client sites could actually be read and cited by AI systems. Focused on FAQ and entity optimization, restructuring content so answers were extractable instead of buried in paragraphs. Ran full local SEO audits (technical, on-page, off-page, GBP) and turned them into prioritized fixes that clients could execute without a marketing degree. Helped clients start showing up in AI-generated answers, not just Google's local pack, back when very few in this space were doing that work.
Local SEO Associate
Mar 2022 - Sep 2024 • 2 yrs 6 mos
Started my freelance career learning local search from the ground up, handling Google Business Profile setup and optimization for a small portfolio of service-based clients categories, services, Q&A, geo-tagged photos, and posts. Executed citation building and NAP consistency cleanup across major directories, tracking local pack rankings weekly and using data-driven insights to decide what to fix next instead of guessing. Most of the businesses I worked with weren't 'bad' they were simply invisible due to incorrect categories, missing citations, and zero reviews, with nothing telling Google they were trustworthy. Fixing that stack of local signals became the foundation for the advanced SEO strategies I execute today.
