Local SEO Consultant based in Dubai · Since 2023
I get local service businesses to the top of Google Maps, right when nearby customers are ready to buy. That visibility becomes ringing phones and booked jobs, not rankings on a report. One workshop went from buried past position 20 to 192 calls in 16 days.
Working with local businesses across the UAE and the US ever since.
Success measured in customers who actually pick up the phone.
You work with me directly. No account managers, no handoffs.
The pattern
And you got a monthly report full of rankings and impressions, and roughly the same number of phone calls as before. That’s the story almost every business owner tells me.
So I start somewhere else: what is one new customer actually worth to your business? Everything works backwards from that number.
What I do
Most local businesses are losing customers to one of these, usually without knowing which.
The listing that decides whether you appear in the map results at all, and whether anyone taps “call” when you do. I rebuild the whole thing: categories, services, photos, hours and the details Google actually weighs.
a profile that ranks in the map pack and earns direct calls.
Location and service pages written for what people in your area actually type. Built for customers first, structured so Google and AI assistants can quote them.
pages that turn nearby searches into calls and enquiries.
Reviews, consistent business details across the web, and the trust signals Google uses to decide which business in your area to send customers to. Set up as a system, not a one-off.
the credibility that keeps the calls coming, not a one-time bump.
The evidence
Real screenshots from real accounts, with the period each one covers. Nothing here is a mock-up, and nothing here counts up or animates.

Case studies
Every project starts with finding out what’s actually wrong, which is rarely what people expect.
An audit found three problems: pages fighting each other for the same searches, a spammy backlink profile, and content years out of date. We told Google to ignore the bad links and rewrote the content. Then we added a team section and built a dedicated FAQ page designed to be quoted by AI assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini.
They had a Google Business Profile and no website. We improved the profile first, then showed them the customers still being missed, and built a site to catch them.
My approach
Every business is different, so I don’t start with keywords. I start by understanding what you sell, who buys it, and what a good month looks like for you.
A clinic in Dubai came to me with a Google profile and no website. I didn’t sell them a website. I improved the profile first, showed them which customers were still being missed, and only then suggested building one.
“Never sell bloated deliverables when a targeted profile fix generates immediate calls.”
Identify your highest-margin services and the high-intent search queries that actually turn into paid jobs.
Fix categories, citations, and proximity signals to capture ready-to-buy local searches without waiting months.
Only invest in landing pages or website rebuilds when search volume and inbound call capacity warrant it.
About
I overheard an SEO consultant talking to a shop owner, went home, and started learning. My first client was my uncle. Since then it’s been clinics, locksmiths, workshops. Businesses like yours.

In their words
A few of the people behind the numbers above. Small businesses across the UAE and the US. The kind of work that pays the bills, not headlines.
I run the workshop and I’m honestly not a computer person. Jasim never once made me feel stupid about that. He sorted out our Google listing, the photos, the opening hours — all the bits I’d never touched — and by month three we had people phoning who said they’d found us on the map.
When we opened the clinic we had basically no online presence. Within a month of him fixing the profile, we started coming up for the treatments we actually offer rather than random searches, and once the website went live the bookings followed. He was patient with us and explained things without the usual jargon.
I’d hired two SEO companies before and both took the retainer and disappeared. Jasim sends me the numbers every month and actually explains what changed. 160-plus calls last month straight from Google, and I could see them in my own call log — that’s what sold me, not a dashboard.
Small café, tight budget. I told him upfront I couldn’t spend much, and he was straight with me about what was worth doing and what wasn’t. We turn up for “coffee near me” now, and our weekend footfall has genuinely gone up because of it.
For a locksmith, being top of the map is everything — when someone’s locked out they call whoever comes up first. Jasim got us up there and, more importantly, has kept us there. It took a couple of months to settle, but it stuck. Only wish I’d found him sooner.

Questions
Straight answers on cost, timing and how this works, the same ones I give on a first call, before anyone commits to anything.
It depends on where you are starting and what one new customer is worth to you, so I price per project rather than selling a fixed package. After a short call I give you a clear scope and a flat quote before any work begins, with no open-ended retainers and no surprise invoices. Most local businesses fall into a predictable range, and I will tell you honestly if the work is not worth the spend for your situation.
Google Business Profile changes can move the map pack within a few weeks. A meaningful lift in calls and bookings usually shows over two to four months, because reviews, consistency and trust signals compound over time. I set that expectation up front and send you the real numbers each month so you can see progress rather than take my word for it.
You work with me directly. The person who sells the work is the person who does it. No account managers, no handoffs, no automated report you cannot read. I measure success in calls and booked jobs, not rankings or impressions, and I will happily tell you when the smart move is fixing the profile you already have instead of buying more from me.
Often you do not need a new website at all. A large share of local visibility comes from the Google Business Profile, so I usually start there and only recommend a site once we have proven where customers are still slipping through. When a website does make sense, I build local pages around the searches your customers actually type.
Service-led local businesses where a phone call is the goal: auto repair workshops, dental and skin clinics, locksmiths, pest control, home services, contractors and independent restaurants. Most of my clients are in Dubai and across the UAE, and I also work with select businesses in the US. The approach is the same wherever customers are searching nearby, ready to buy.
By the numbers a business owner actually feels: calls placed from the Business Profile, direction requests, form enquiries and booked jobs, tracked against where you started. I share Google Business Profile and Search Console data every month in plain language, so you always know what changed and why.
No, and anyone who guarantees a specific ranking is guessing, because Google does not sell or promise positions. What I commit to is doing the work that reliably moves local visibility and, more importantly, calls. If I do not think I can help your business, I will say so on the first call rather than take the project.
It is a conversation, not a pitch. I ask about your business, what a good month looks like, and where enquiries come from today. Then I tell you honestly whether I can help and what I would do first. There is no commitment, and I usually reply within one working day.
Let’s talk
No pitch and no commitment. I’ll ask about your business, tell you honestly whether I can help, and explain what I’d do first.
