Local Seo Expert (Proven Trackrecord)

As the headline mentions, i'm Looking for a Real Local Service SEO Pro that has proof of ranking local businesses on SERPs. Primarily search focused, not map pack.

Here's the context in a super short form story.

My background is in lead generation, primarily paid, for local service businesses. I got started in this marketing game with SEO back in the day, but I never got great at it, just learned a lot of the fundamentals and executed on what I learned.

Over the last 3 years, I've built the website for my local service business using most conventional wisdom when it comes to Local SEO, but i've struggled to get results.

I've got some key money pages on the first page, some top 3, and one page number 1 for it's money term (super low KD).

But, it seems like rankings are happening by chance- not by design or as the result of any effort.

I've built silos, i've ranked blog content as support content (blog content gets thoussands of views a month), and I've built backlinks (decent quality) to content and interlinked back to money pages and other relevant blog content.

I've even gone the HARO route- and i've got tons of super high DR 90+, dofollow links from niche relevant sites.

Still not beating competition for my main term on the homepage.

I'm obviously doing something wrong. But i just don't know what that is.

So here's what I'm looking for.

First of all, use the phrase "Guidance" as the first word in your application to be considered.

Also- send examples of some local business sites you've ranked for organic search terms.

I need someone with a proven background in ranking local service businesses on search results. I'm looking for consulting on a full strategy breakdown, and analysis of what i've done wrong, what needs to be fixed, and a path to get better rankings across the board.

At this point, I've wasted enough years trying to figure this out myself, so if you can prove you know what you're talking about, price is mostly irrelevant.
