Local Website SEO Traffic Boost

I need an SEO professional who can quickly lift the amount of qualified local visitors reaching my site. My main objective is simple: more traffic from people in my area who are ready to engage and convert.

Here’s my current situation:
• The focus is strictly local, so everything—from keyword research to link building—must speak to nearby searchers rather than a national or global audience.
• I already maintain an active Google My Business profile and post regularly on social media. These channels should be integrated into the overall strategy and fully optimised.
• I’m not yet leveraging local directories, so if you feel they can add measurable value, let me know how you would incorporate them.

Key deliverables I expect:
1. A clear audit outlining technical and on-page issues holding back local visibility.
2. Local keyword research with search-volume data and proposed page mapping.
3. On-page optimisation (meta data, headings, internal linking, schema) for priority pages.
4. Google My Business overhaul: category refinement, geo-tagged images, posting calendar, and tracking setup in Search Console & Google Analytics.
5. A plan for authoritative local backlinks or citations, including outreach targets and timelines.
6. Progress report after the first month that shows traffic changes, ranking shifts, and next-step recommendations.

If you are confident you can deliver noticeable growth within the first few weeks—and can explain your process in plain language—I’m ready to get started.
