SEO Strategist Who Builds Search Systems for Local Businesses
I'm Arif Rahman, a freelance SEO strategist based in Dhaka. I help service businesses rank on Google through structured SEO, that includes keyword research, technical fixes, content strategy, and AI search optimization.
Arif Rahman
Freelance SEO Strategist Focused on Local and Service Businesses
I'm a freelance SEO strategist based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. My focus is local SEO for service businesses, particularly trades companies like electricians, HVAC contractors, and roofers in Australia and Bangladesh.
I study how local businesses lose rankings and document the patterns. After auditing 35+ businesses across Queensland, South Australia, and Bangladesh, the same problems appear over and over regardless of business size or age.
Beyond traditional Google SEO, I also optimize for AI-powered search tools. That means structuring content so ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity can accurately reference and recommend businesses.
Every project on this site is based on real website audits, real keyword research, and real issue documentation — not textbook theory.

AEO, GEO and AI Search Optimization
Search behavior is shifting toward AI tools. I structure content for answer engines and generative search so businesses stay visible as that shift continues.

Structuring content to directly answer user questions in Google featured snippets, voice search, and AI overviews using intent-based writing and structured data.
AI Overview Optimization
Strengthening entity signals, semantic structure, and E-E-A-T so AI systems generate accurate summaries when users ask about your business or industry.
Generative Engine Optimization
Preparing content to be cited inside ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity by improving topical authority, structured clarity, and source credibility signals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about local SEO for trades businesses in Australia and Bangladesh.
- Local SEO helps your trades business appear in Google search results when customers in your service area search for services like "electrician near me" or "roofer in Brisbane." It focuses on your Google Business Profile, location-specific service pages, and structured data so Google can confidently show your business to nearby customers.
- Most local SEO improvements take 60 to 90 days to show measurable results in Google Search Console. Map Pack rankings typically move faster than organic rankings. Technical fixes like schema markup, page speed, and indexing corrections often produce visibility improvements within 4 to 6 weeks.
- Yes. For trades businesses targeting multiple suburbs, dedicated service area pages help Google understand your geographic coverage. Each page needs unique content addressing that area specifically. Thin or duplicate suburb pages are one of the most common issues I find in audits and a direct cause of weak Map Pack visibility.
- AEO, or Answer Engine Optimization, prepares your content to appear in Google featured snippets, AI Overviews, and tools like ChatGPT or Perplexity when users ask questions. As more people search through AI tools rather than typing keywords, having structured, clearly written content becomes critical for staying visible.
- A full audit covers keyword gap analysis, technical SEO health (crawl issues, Core Web Vitals, indexing), on-page structure, Google Business Profile gaps, schema markup, and local visibility blockers. You receive a documented report with prioritized fixes and a growth roadmap, not just a list of issues.
- My current client focus is service businesses in Australia and Bangladesh. That said, I am open to discussing projects from other markets, particularly trades and home services businesses. Reach out through the contact page and describe your project.
