Fort Lauderdale SEO for businesses that want the phone to ring.
I'm Chris Gonzalez. I run a one-person local SEO practice in Broward County. When someone in Fort Lauderdale searches for what you do, my job is to put your business in front of them, and to make it easy for them to pick you.
What local SEO actually covers
Local SEO is not one trick. It is four pieces of work that Google checks together before it decides who shows up for a search nearby.
Your Google Business Profile
Categories, services, photos, and posts set up the way people in Broward actually search.
Reviews
A steady routine for asking real customers, and a reply to every review, inside Google's rules.
Listings
Your business name, area, and website the same on every directory that matters, with the wrong ones fixed.
Your website
Service pages written for your customers and your cities, fast on a phone, with a clear way to reach you.
The map is where the call gets made
For many local searches, Google shows a map with three businesses above the regular results. That short list is where nearby customers choose who to call. Getting into it takes a complete profile, steady reviews, consistent listings, and a website that backs all of it up. That is the work.
The first case study
FTL Technology Group, an IT company in Broward County, started in June 2026 with no listings and eight old reviews. Here is what the foundation work changed:
22
Google reviews at 5.0, up from 8
40
Local listings live, up from zero
+62.8%
Profile views in July, compared to the same month last year
6
Leads from Google by early September, five of them jobs. No ads.
What it costs

Your profile fixed, listings built and corrected, the review routine started.
The steady work
Reviews come in, content goes up, listings stay accurate, the profile stays active.
The report
Every month you see what moved, what I did, and what happens next.
Questions
Fair questions, straight answers.
How long does local SEO take in Fort Lauderdale?
Your listings, profile activity, and reviews start moving in the first weeks. Rankings build on top of those and take months. My reports show you the early work first so you can see it happening. Anyone promising page one in 30 days is guessing.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. Nobody controls Google's results, and any promise of a specific ranking is a sales line. What I can promise is the work, done properly, and a report that shows it.
Do I need a new website for local SEO?
Not always. If your site is solid, I tune what's there. If it is holding you back, I'll show you why and quote a rebuild you own outright.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. Ongoing work can be canceled at any time, and you keep everything: your domain, website, profiles, reviews, and data.
Who does the work?
I do. There are no account managers and no hand-offs. You write to hello@gonzalez.marketing and I answer.
