About

I am Syed Farhan Raza, an SEO Engineer focused on local services. With 15 years of experience building and optimizing conversion-driven websites for service-based and local businesses, I specialize in on-page SEO, site structure, schema markup, page speed optimization, and CMS-based development — delivering clean, SEO-friendly builds that attract qualified traffic and convert visitors into leads.

I’ve led cross-functional teams across content and technology, including an AI content-at-scale pilot, and have consistently driven growth for enterprise brands such as DP World, Nike, and Lenovo. I’m passionate about turning data into actionable SEO strategies and mentoring teams to scale impact while delivering measurable ROI.
