Who We Are
My Local SEO is a Long Island-based digital marketing agency specializing in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) for local businesses.
We’ve been in the SEO trenches for over 20 years — long before most of today’s “SEO gurus” knew what a meta tag was. We’ve watched search evolve through every major Google algorithm shift, and we’ve adapted and thrived through all of it.
We’re not a giant agency padding your invoice with account managers and project coordinators. We’re a focused, hands-on team that works directly with a select number of local businesses — because we’d rather get real results for fewer clients than mediocre results for many.
What We Specialize In
Local SEO is our core strength. We know what it takes to get a Long Island business to the top of Google Maps and local search results. We understand Nassau County’s market, the competitive landscape, and the customers you’re trying to reach in Hicksville and beyond.
But we’ve also built deep expertise in what’s coming next — and what’s already here:
AEO — Answer Engine Optimization.
Search has fundamentally changed. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google’s AI Overviews, and voice assistants are now answering questions directly — questions that used to send people clicking through to websites. If your business isn’t structured to be the answer these AI tools surface, you’re invisible to a rapidly growing slice of your market.
We’ve spent years studying and implementing strategies to position businesses to be cited, quoted, and recommended by AI-driven search tools. This is a serious competitive advantage right now, and very few SEO agencies understand it at the depth we do.

Our Approach
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter SEO packages. Every business is different — different market, different competition, different goals. Here’s how we work:
- Free Audit — We analyze your current online presence: your website, your Google Business Profile, your local citations, and how your competitors are winning.
- Custom Strategy — We build a roadmap tailored to your specific market and goals. No templates, no copy-paste.
- Execution — We do the work. On-page optimization, content, citations, schema markup, AEO structuring — whatever it takes.
- Transparent Reporting — Clear, jargon-free reports showing exactly what’s moving: ranking improvements, traffic changes, lead volume.
- Ongoing Partnership — SEO is never “done.” We stay engaged, monitor performance, adapt to algorithm changes, and keep pushing results forward.
