Top Google Rank: Carpet Cleaning

My goal is simple: I want wnycarpetpro.com to appear in the very first position on Google whenever someone searches “carpet cleaning buffalo ny.” The pages I care about most are the Service Pages—especially those that talk about our Residential Carpet Cleaning and Upholstery Cleaning offers—so your plan should focus there first.

I have already tinkered with titles, meta-descriptions, and a few backlinks, yet the results are flat. I now need a comprehensive, data-driven approach that audits what exists, fixes on-page technical issues, expands keyword-rich content, and builds the kind of authoritative links that actually move rankings.

Key items I’ll be looking for:
• A clear audit of current on-page SEO, technical health, and backlink profile
• An action plan to optimise the Residential Carpet Cleaning and Upholstery Cleaning pages for “carpet cleaning buffalo ny” and related local phrases
• White-hat link building, local citation cleanup, and Google Business Profile alignment
• New or refreshed content where gaps exist, written in a way that converts visitors into calls
• Tracking: baseline and progress reports for keyword positions, traffic, and conversions

Please outline your methodology, the tools you rely on (e.g., Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, WordPress plugins), and realistic timeframes for seeing movement into the top spot. I’m ready to start as soon as I know you have a proven roadmap for dominating this keyword in Buffalo.
