Local SEO in Izmir
In Izmir, “near me” and district-based searches (Bornova, Karşıyaka, Buca, Çiğli) are the most valuable traffic for local businesses. A Google Business Profile, district- and service-based pages, consistent name-address-phone information and genuine customer reviews are the basis for standing out in these searches. I built the local-SEO-focused site for Ege Auto Life, a paintless dent repair business in Bornova, with this approach.
Website + SEO from one source
Half of SEO is the site itself: speed, mobile-friendliness, URL structure, templates and structured data. I both build the website and handle its SEO, so recommended changes are implemented without waiting between an agency and a development team.
What I do as an SEO consultant in Izmir
- Technical SEO audit and fixes
- Service- and city-based keyword strategy
- Google Business Profile and local SEO
- Structured data, speed and Core Web Vitals
- hreflang for multilingual sites
- GEO for ChatGPT and Google AI
- Monthly measurement and reporting with Search Console
Most competitors in Izmir do only SEO or only web design; because I do both as one person, recommended fixes go live the same week.
