If you run a local business, your next customer is probably not walking past your shop. They are searching on Google, usually with the words “near me” at the end, and they are calling one of the first businesses they see. Faraz Ahmed has built his career around making sure that business is yours.
Faraz Ahmed is a Local SEO and Google Business Profile specialist based in Lahore, Pakistan, and the Founder and SEO Lead of GoodLine Digital, a digital marketing and web development agency that works with local businesses in the US, UK and beyond. He has worked with 50+ clients on Google Search and Google Maps visibility, and his approach is simple: no vanity metrics, only calls, leads and sales. You can see the agency, its work and its results on the GoodLine Digital website.
Faraz Ahmed leads the SEO work at GoodLine Digital. His speciality is local search: helping businesses show up in the Google Map Pack, rank for “near me” searches in their city, and turn profile views into phone calls. Clients describe the experience in plain words. As one painting company owner in Clovis, California put it: “Super helpful from start to finish, never rushed, and everything explained in simple terms. My GMB profile looks way better now.”
His work covers the full local SEO system, not just one piece of it:
Faraz works with a nine-person team of specialists at GoodLine Digital, so strategy, content, design, ads and development all happen under one roof. Meet the full team on the team page.
GoodLine Digital works on one idea: a website without SEO is a billboard in the desert. Beautiful websites that never rank, and high-ranking websites that look poor, both lose money. The agency was founded to close that gap by building one engine of design, code and SEO, summed up in its tagline: Good Strategy. Great Results.
The agency is based in Lahore, Pakistan and serves clients worldwide. Its results are published, not promised. Recent campaigns include every target keyword on page one for a painting company in Clovis and Fresno within five months, a full keyword set dominating Denver auto repair searches in six months, 692 Google Business Profile interactions in a single month for a business in Sparks, Nevada, and 83 phone calls a month within three months for a repair shop in Boise, Idaho. Across campaigns the agency reports +250% traffic increases, Top 3 Map Pack placements and 100+ projects shipped. You can check the case studies on the portfolio page.
Every service below is part of one growth system. Each one links to its full service page on the GoodLine Digital website, where you can read exactly what is included.
Full-scope search engine optimization: on-page, off-page, technical and content work planned together, with honest timelines. Major traffic movement typically builds over three to six months of consistent work. See the SEO services page.
Location keywords, citation building and local signals that put your business in front of buyers in your city, built to win “near me” searches and the Map Pack. See the Local SEO page.
A complete profile build-out: categories, services, geo-tagged photos, Google posts and Q&A, engineered to capture local searches and turn views into calls, direction requests and bookings. See the Google Business Profile page.
Fast, secure, fully responsive websites in clean custom code, React or WordPress, built with SEO structure and schema in place before launch, not bolted on after. See the web development page.
When templates are not enough, the team builds custom websites and web applications around your exact business process and growth goals. See the custom web development page.
Online stores built to load fast, rank on Google and convert visitors into buyers, with product and category structures planned for search from day one. See the ecommerce development page.
Campaign-led social media that supports your search visibility and brings in enquiries, planned around your brand story rather than random posting. See the social media marketing page.
Day-to-day handling of your social profiles: content planning, creative assets, posting and engagement, managed by a dedicated social media manager. See the social media management page.
Paid campaigns on Facebook and Instagram, run by a dedicated Meta Ads specialist, targeted at the local audiences most likely to call or buy. See the Meta Ads page.
Search advertising for businesses that need enquiries now while SEO compounds in the background, with campaigns built around buying-intent keywords. See the Google Ads page.
Three further services sit inside the SEO system on the main services overview: Technical SEO (crawl fixes, Core Web Vitals and schema), Link Building (100% white-hat manual outreach to real sites with real traffic, no PBNs and no spam farms) and Content Strategy (semantic, intent-matched content, including three to four blogs a month, plus graphic design for brand and social assets).
Technical wins can show within weeks, but major traffic movement usually happens around the three to six month mark. SEO is a compound interest game, and anyone promising overnight rankings is selling you a story.
Both. Custom code and React are used when speed or a web application matters most; WordPress is used when easy day-to-day management matters more. The right choice depends on your growth goals, and the team will advise honestly.
Yes, 100%. Every link comes from manual outreach to real websites with real traffic. No PBNs, no spam farms, just authority that sticks.
The agency is based in Lahore, Pakistan and works remotely with clients worldwide, including white-label Local SEO support for other agencies.
If your business is not showing up on Google, or your profile gets views but no calls, start with a free audit. Tell the team about your business and they will map the fastest honest route to page one.
