WordPress SEO Services & Local SEO Consulting

Your website should be bringing you customers. Right now it is probably sitting invisible on Google.

Hi, I am Syed Sheraz Shah, a freelance SEO expert with 9 years behind me, more than 300 projects, and 100+ websites ranked across the US, UK, Australia, Canada, the UAE, and Europe. I take a website nobody is finding and turn it into one that shows up, through proper WordPress SEO services, real local SEO consulting, and the newer skill of getting you cited inside AI answers.

About

A freelance SEO expert who actually does the work himself

When you hire most SEO agencies, the person who sells you the dream and the person who touches your website are never the same. Your project gets passed to a junior the moment you sign. With me, the person you talk to is the person doing the work. That is the whole difference.

9 years, 300+ projects, 100+ websites ranked

I have been doing SEO since before AI Overviews existed, before Core Web Vitals were a ranking factor, and before half of today’s tools were even built. SEO changes every year, and when you understand why something works instead of just copying a checklist, you keep winning even when the rules shift. My work spans dental, medical, travel, education, finance, tech, retail, childcare, and manufacturing, across more than 12 industries. Nothing here is copied and pasted from the last client.

WordPress is home turf for me

I have built around 30 WordPress sites myself, so I know the platform the way you know your own kitchen. Canonical tags, pagination, plugin conflicts that quietly break crawling, and the metadata quirks that generalists miss entirely.

Local SEO when you need nearby customers

If your business serves one city or area, your future customers are searching Google Maps today. The only question is whether you show up when they do. As a freelance local SEO consultant, that is exactly the gap I close, and it is usually the fastest route to new enquiries.

Services

WordPress SEO services, local SEO consulting, and AI search visibility

Every project starts the same way, with a full audit, because guessing is expensive. After that I build the plan around your goals, not around a template.

WordPress SEO

WordPress SEO Services

I audit your site properly, fix what is quietly holding it back, and build a WordPress SEO optimization service that gets it climbing.

Local SEO

Freelance Local SEO Consultant

Your customers are typing ‘near me’ right now. I work on your Google Business Profile, your local rankings, and the signals that land you in the Maps 3-Pack.

AEO · GEO

AI Search Visibility

Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity now answer people without a single click. I make sure your pages get cited inside those answers.

Technical SEO

Technical SEO Audits

A technically broken site will not rank no matter how good the writing is. I fix things by impact first, so you feel the difference sooner.

Content SEO

SEO Content Strategy

Publishing content with no keyword intent behind it is writing for nobody. I map what your customers genuinely search for.

Off-Page SEO

Link Building and Authority

Links from credible, relevant sites are still one of Google’s strongest votes of trust. I earn them through real outreach, never shortcuts.

Why Work with Me

Why a freelance SEO expert beats an agency for most businesses

If you want a direct relationship, a clear plan, and one person who is actually accountable for your results, freelance wins almost every time.

01

You work with me directly

No account manager sitting between us. No junior quietly learning on your project. I handle the strategy and the execution myself.

02

No agency overhead

Agencies bill you for offices, sales teams, and management layers on top of the actual work. With me you pay for the work itself.

03

A strategy built for you

Your market, your competitors, and your customers are not the same as anyone else I work with. The plan is built around them from day 1.

04

No long lock-in

No rigid 12-month contract before you have seen a single result. We work on clear, honest terms.

05

Plain, honest updates

No reports stuffed with vanity numbers. You get clear updates on what I did, what changed, why it matters, and what is next.

06

9 years across 12+ industries

Escape rooms, B2B manufacturing, luxury travel, dental, fitness, childcare. I bring ideas from outside your bubble.

AEO + GEO

Getting your site found in AI-powered search

Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Bing Copilot now answer questions directly on the page. If your site is not built to appear inside those answers, you are quietly losing a channel your competitors are already claiming.

What is AEO?

Answer Engine Optimization

AEO is the practice of structuring your content so AI search tools pull it as a direct answer: clear question-and-answer content, proper schema markup, real topical authority, and pages that are easy for machines to read and trust.

What is GEO?

Generative Engine Optimization

GEO is about shaping your content and wider web presence so generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity name you specifically: a credible footprint across the web, citations from sources these tools trust, and content that proves real expertise.

Google AI Overviews

Appear before the blue links

AI Overviews sit at the very top of Google for millions of searches now. Being cited there takes structured answers, clean schema, and genuine topical authority.

ChatGPT + Perplexity

Become the source they reference

When people ask AI tools about your industry, your site should be one of the sources those tools quote. That only happens when your content answers specific questions directly.

Bing Copilot + SGE

Win the answer, not just the click

Bing Copilot and Google SGE pull from pages that speak clearly and get to the point. FAQ content, clean heading structure, and answer-first writing earn those spots.

How It Works

What happens after you get in touch

No drawn-out discovery calls or month-long onboarding. Here is exactly what working together looks like, step by step.

01

Free SEO audit

I review your site, your competitors, and your current visibility. You walk away with a clear picture of what is holding you back. No charge, no catch.

02

Strategy and plan

From that audit I build a plan shaped around your goals, your best keyword opportunities, and your competitive landscape.

03

Execution

Technical fixes, content, on-page work, link building, and either AEO or local SEO depending on what your site needs most.

04

Results and reporting

Clear updates on rankings, traffic, and what actually changed. Just what happened, why it matters, and what comes next.

FAQ

Questions people ask before getting in touch

A freelance SEO expert improves a website’s visibility in search engines through technical fixes, keyword strategy, content optimization, and link building. Unlike an agency, a freelance SEO expert handles your project personally from start to finish, including visibility in AI search tools like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity.

WordPress SEO services are optimizations done specifically for WordPress websites so they rank higher on Google. WordPress has its own technical environment, including plugin conflicts, auto-generated archives, and metadata handling, which all need specialist attention.

A local SEO consultant helps your business appear in local Google searches and the Google Maps 3-Pack: optimizing your Google Business Profile, building local citations, targeting location-specific keywords, and building a review strategy. For any business serving a specific area, this is often the fastest route to new customers.

Most businesses start seeing ranking movement within 60 to 90 days. Meaningful growth in traffic and leads usually lands between 4 and 6 months, depending on your niche, competition, and starting condition. Anyone promising page-one rankings in a couple of weeks is not being straight with you.

Yes. Modern WordPress SEO services should cover Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), so your site gets cited in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT answers, Perplexity results, and Bing Copilot responses.

Most of my clients are based in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, the UAE, and Europe. SEO is fully remote work, so location has no effect on the quality or the results.

Pricing depends on your site size, how competitive your niche is, and the scope of work needed. There are no fixed packages because every project is genuinely different. The first step is a free SEO audit, with a reply within 24 hours.

Free Audit, No Commitment

Ready to get more traffic
and customers from Google?

The audit is free, there is no sales pitch, and no pressure. You will know exactly what is holding your site back and what it takes to fix it before you commit to anything.
