About Ranu Patel
For over 16 years, I’ve worked with businesses to improve how they are discovered, understood, and chosen online.
My work combines website strategy, Local SEO, Google Business Profile optimisation, WordPress development, conversion optimisation, and emerging AI search practices to help businesses build stronger digital foundations.
Rather than focusing only on rankings, I believe successful digital strategies begin with understanding customer behaviour.

That is why my approach combines clear website messaging, helpful content, Local SEO, Google Business Profile optimisation, and user experience to support long-term business growth.
Today I continue researching search behaviour, Google updates, AI-powered search experiences, and website strategy so I can provide practical recommendations based on observation rather than assumptions.
Whether you’re a consultant, doctor, lawyer, CA firm, manufacturer, or local business, my goal is simple:
Help your business become easier to find, easier to trust, and easier to choose.
