Dallas businesses
that show up first
get the call.
Local SEO services built for Dallas service businesses — engineered to rank in Google Maps, local search, and AI Overviews. One developer, full attention, no agency overhead.
Dallas is a competitive local search market.
62,800 local searches per month in the Dallas metro for service categories like law firms, HVAC, orthodontics, and home services. Most of that traffic goes to the top three results — and most Dallas businesses are not in them.
The gap between position 3 and position 14 isn't a design problem or an ad budget problem. It's a technical one: missing schema, thin local copy, inconsistent NAP, and no entity signal telling Google what your business does and where it does it.
That's exactly what I build.
Local SEO
Entity-linked content, schema markup, and NAP consistency so your Dallas business is the obvious local answer — not buried on page three.
Google Maps & Map Pack
GBP alignment, citation building, and review velocity so your pin shows up in the three-pack when Dallas customers search for what you do.
AI Overviews & AEO
Structured content in entity → attribute → answer format so Google's AI summaries and ChatGPT cite your business by name.
Conversion-Focused Builds
Fast, schema-complete sites built around how Dallas customers actually search and decide — engineered to convert traffic into booked calls.
Already working in the Texas market.
Hair Society Salon, Houston — rebuilt from invisible to appearing for 2,111 search queries, 844 organic clicks since launch (84% of impressions from people who didn't search the salon's name), 11,305 Google Business Profile views, and 1,090 zero-ad interactions (calls, directions, bookings). Amoura Construction, also Houston, is three months in — search impressions nearly doubled in September. No paid traffic on either.

Technical fixes compound within days. Content + schema usually show measurable lift in 30–60 days. Branded searches in Dallas can rank within weeks of GBP verification; general map-pack eligibility typically lands in 60–90 days. Breaking into the top 3 for competitive, non-branded queries usually takes 6–12 months of consistent work — no one honest will tell you otherwise.
Google ranks the map pack on relevance, distance, and prominence. You can't move your address, so in a metro as spread out as Dallas the other two decide it: a complete Google Business Profile with the right primary category, a website whose name, address, and phone match it exactly, consistent citations across the major directories, and a steady flow of new reviews. Most Dallas businesses that miss the pack are missing at least two of those.
No — I work with local service businesses across the US. But Dallas is my home market and I know the competitive landscape well. Current clients include businesses in Dallas, Houston, and surrounding Texas markets.
Any local service business with a physical location or service area: med spas, law firms, dental offices, HVAC, orthodontics, home services, and more. If your customers search locally before booking, local SEO applies.
