Local SEO Needed (Houston – Payment Processing / POS Lead Gen) - Contract to Hire

I run a payment processing company in Houston and need to generate inbound leads from Google (not just traffic).

I am NOT looking for an SEO “consultant” or someone who only provides audits.

I need an OPERATOR who can execute and rank pages.

What I need done:

- Identify high-intent local keywords (Houston + surrounding areas)

- Build or directly implement landing pages (city + service pages)

- Optimize on-page SEO (titles, headers, internal links, schema)

- Improve site structure for local rankings

- Google Business Profile optimization (if relevant)

- Basic backlink strategy (quality only, no spam)

What matters:

- Rankings for buyer-intent keywords

- Leads (form fills / calls)

- Speed of execution

What I don’t want:

- Generic SEO audits

- Long reports with no action

- “We’ll see results in 6–12 months” with no short-term wins

What I do want:

- Clear execution plan

- Fast implementation

- Weekly updates

- Focus on ROI

To apply, answer these:

1. Show a REAL example of a local service business you ranked (include keywords + results)

2. What would be the FIRST 3 things you would do on my site?

3. How would you get me leads in the first 60–90 days?

If your proposal is generic, I will ignore it.

Budget:

Open to fixed price for setup + monthly ongoing work

Goal:

Rank in Houston for payment processing / POS terms and generate inbound leads.

If you apply, start your message with:“LOCAL SEO LEAD GEN”

This helps me filter serious applicants.
