Local SEO for small businesses in the Philippines
Improve how your business appears in Google Maps, city searches, and near-me results. I audit and work on your Google Business Profile, citations, reviews, and local pages. Remote-first and built around the Philippine market.
How pricing works: send your site, business name, and target area first. I check whether you need a one-time local audit, implementation, or ongoing maintenance, then confirm the useful scope and price before any paid work starts.
What it covers
What local SEO actually moves.
Google Business Profile and the map pack
- Categories, services, hours, and photos set up to match what people search.
- The signals behind the local 3-pack: relevance, distance, and prominence.
- Posts, products, and Q&A that keep the profile active.
- A review approach: getting more of them, and responding so they count.
Local on-page and citations
- NAP consistency: name, address, and phone matching across the web.
- Citations and directory listings that back up your profile.
- Location and service pages built for near-me and city queries.
- Local schema and internal links that tie the whole thing together.
How I work
Audit first, then a plan you can act on.
I check your profile, citations, reviews, and local pages, then create an ordered plan with the high-impact items first and a concrete fix for each.
1. Audit
Profile, citations, reviews, and local pages checked by hand against how the map pack ranks.
2. Plan
A prioritized list: the local problems that matter, ranked by impact, with the concrete fix for each.
3. Fix
Do it yourself with the plan, hand it to your team, or have me implement the high-impact items.
4. Track
Watch movement in Search Console and the map pack: impressions, calls, directions, and position.
What I need from you
What I need to start.
The site you want ranked, plus the exact business name, address, and phone you use everywhere.
Add the email I send you as a restricted Viewer. That is read-only: I can see your data, not change anything. It is enough to start. Prefer not to share? A few exports or screenshots work too.
Manager access only comes up if we move from the plan to actually making fixes on the profile. Not needed for the audit.
The cities or areas you serve, plus the local competitors you see most often. This sets the search area and comparison set.
FAQ
Straight answers before you ask.
Do you guarantee first-page rankings?
No. Local rankings depend on distance, relevance, competition, reviews, and the strength of the business profile and site. I improve the parts you control and track the result.
Do you need access to my Google Business Profile?
Read-only access to Search Console is enough to start. Google Business Profile access only comes up if we move from the plan to actually making fixes.
Is this only for businesses in the Philippines?
The service is built around Philippine market conditions, but the work is remote-first, so I can help businesses elsewhere too.
Want to show up when locals search?
Send your site, business name, and target area. I will check the local setup and confirm the useful scope and price. Prefer to start yourself? Use the local SEO guide.
