The Local SEO Consultant 50+ US Businesses Trust to Dominate Google Maps
I'm Kunal Dabi - a Google-certified, Fiverr Pro-vetted SEO consultant. I've ranked 50+ US businesses #1 on Google Maps across NYC, Miami, New Jersey, Texas, Washington, and Missouri - with geo-grid-verified results in as little as 15 days. Same hands-on consultant. Half the price of a US agency.

Why 50+ US Businesses Chose Me Over a US Agency
Let's settle the "but you're not in the US" question upfront. Here's the real comparison - cost, attention, speed, and proof.

Every engagement combines all three - because ranking in the Maps Pack requires all three to be working together.

Geo-Grid & Maps Pack Tracking
Visual before/after maps showing your rankings block-by-block across your entire service area. No vanity metrics, no averaged rank estimates - just verified data for every keyword, every intersection.
Local Authority & Citations
NAP consistency audit across 50+ US directories (Yelp, YellowPages, BBB, Apple Maps, Bing Places, plus industry-specific publishers). Local backlinks from US publishers. Review acquisition systems that compound.

What's Your Share of Local Voice? Most US Businesses Don't Know.
And if you can't measure it, you can't improve it.
SoLV (Share of Local Voice) is the percentage of a geographic grid where your business shows up in the top 3 of Google Maps - block by block, intersection by intersection.
Most US agencies report a single "rank position" for your main keyword. But that number is a lie - Google Maps results change every few blocks. A restaurant ranked #1 at 5th Avenue might be invisible five blocks north.
A real local SEO audit shows you the truth at 49-100 points around your service area. Green = you're in the top 3. Yellow = you're almost there. Red = you're invisible.
The free audit I run on every prospect reveals your current SoLV score, the exact blocks where you're losing to competitors, and the top 3 fixes that will move the needle fastest. No sales pitch - just the map and the numbers.

Kunal got us to #1 on Google Maps for "diner nyc" in 93 out of 100 grid points. That's domination of the most competitive food keyword in the country. We saw a measurable jump in foot traffic within 60 days.

Everything a US Business Owner Asks Before Hiring Me
Real questions from 50+ US clients. Honest answers.
Why should a US business hire a Local SEO consultant based in India?
Same Google Maps algorithm. Same certifications (Fiverr Pro-vetted, Google-certified). Half the price of a US agency. Direct access to the consultant - not a junior account manager. India's work hours (9am-9pm IST) map to US overnight, which means deliverables land on your desk every morning. 50+ US businesses already made this choice: NYC, Miami, NJ, TX, WA, MO.
How fast will I see Google Maps Pack results?
Most US campaigns see measurable SoLV movement within 30 days. GBP optimization + citation fixes often move rankings in 1-2 weeks. The fastest documented result is a Cherry Hill NJ law firm - 3,713% SoLV growth in 15 days to #1 in the Maps Pack.
What does Local SEO cost in USD?
Single-location US businesses start from ~$500/month USD. Multi-location is priced per location with bulk discounts at 10+ locations. A free Maps Pack audit is run before any commitment - so you know the exact scope before paying a cent.
How do I pay you from the United States?
Wise, PayPal, Stripe, or direct bank wire - all in USD. Invoice terms: NET 0 for the first month, NET 15 thereafter. Fiverr Pro escrow is available if you prefer platform-managed payments.
Is there a contract or long-term lock-in?
Month-to-month engagement. Cancel anytime after the first month. Every engagement includes a written 30-day results promise - measurable SoLV improvement in 30 days, or I keep working at no additional cost until you see it.
How do we communicate across time zones?
WhatsApp and email are the primary channels. 24-hour response guarantee. A weekly 30-minute video call is scheduled at a US-friendly time of your choice - early morning PT or evening ET both work well. Many US clients report the time difference is actually a productivity advantage: India delivers overnight, you wake up to progress.
Will you work with my existing website or agency?
Yes. I complement your agency or replace them. Can deliver GBP-only, Maps Pack-only, or full local SEO. Many clients start by outsourcing just the Maps Pack work to me while keeping their existing website agency for everything else.
What US industries do you have the most experience with?
Legal, restaurants, home services (plumbing, HVAC, cleaning, landscaping), healthcare (chiropractors, dentists, rehab), pet services, beauty & wellness, automotive. See the 10+ US case studies above for specific verticals. The free audit includes relevant industry case studies for your exact vertical.
Can you handle multi-location franchises and brands?
Yes. Multi-location is priced per location with bulk discounts from 10+ locations. Current US multi-location clients include Black Tap (Miami) and restaurant groups operating across multiple cities.
What happens after I submit the free audit form?
Within 24 hours I personally run a geo-grid analysis on your Google Business Profile, benchmark your top 3 local keywords, identify the 3 biggest Maps Pack opportunities, and email you a 2-page custom report + a Loom video walkthrough. Zero obligation. No sales pitch. No credit card. If the plan makes sense, we talk next steps.
