Our Team

The Practitioners Behind the Strategy

Local search is saturated with theory. We operate on data. The team behind Rank Your GMB Now spends every day inside the trenches of Google Business Profiles. We fix suspended listings. We audit citation inconsistencies across hundreds of directories. We map proximity signals for local contractors. You will not find generic advice here. You will find battle-tested tactics from practitioners who actually do the work.

We do not guess.

Our authors manage active campaigns for roofers, legal practices, and HVAC companies. We see exactly what triggers a map pack drop. We know exactly what brings it back. This hands-on reality dictates every single guide, audit, and strategy we publish.

Lev Brovtsev, Performance Marketing Consultant

Now, he operates as a Performance Marketing Consultant specializing in Google Ads and Search Engine Optimization. Lev bridges the gap between paid acquisition and organic map pack dominance. He builds the systems. He tracks the review velocity. He forces Google to respect your local footprint.

His approach relies on hard data, strict NAP consistency, and aggressive Q&A optimization to capture featured snippets. Lev knows exactly what happens when a business changes its primary category without warning. He understands the friction of merging duplicate listings.

Mateo Vargas, Local Search Auditor

Mateo tracks the noise. He spends his days hunting down toxic citations and mapping out exact proximity grids for multi-location clinics. If your business moved three years ago and your old address still haunts the aggregators, Mateo finds it. He specializes in the technical cleanup required before any local SEO campaign can actually gain traction.

Elena Rostova, Conversion & Review Strategist

Getting traffic is only half the battle. Elena turns map pack views into actual booked appointments. She builds automated review velocity campaigns and structures GBP Q&A sections to intercept customer doubts before they click away. Her background in conversion rate optimization ensures that once a local searcher finds your profile, they actually pick up the phone.

Our Editorial Standards

We refuse to publish fluff.

Every strategy you read on this site undergoes strict internal testing. We run tactics on our own test properties before we ever recommend them to your business. We know the weight of a suspended GBP listing. A bad piece of advice can cost a local plumber thousands of dollars in lost weekend calls. That reality drives our entire publishing process.

  • We verify against live data. We do not repeat Google’s public statements as absolute truth. We test their claims against live client campaigns.
  • We reject anonymous contributions. Every author on this site manages actual local search campaigns.
  • We document our failures. If a specific citation strategy stops working, we update our guides to reflect that reality.

We read it. We tested it. We published it.

We talk to business owners every single day. If you hit a wall with a hard suspension, or if your map pack rankings tanked after a recent core update, reach out. We review specific cases. We answer technical questions. We point you toward the exact resource you need to fix your visibility.
