    Google Business Profile — highest ROI channel
    Unique landing pages per city + airport
    FAQPage + LocalBusiness schema on every page
    Sub-2s mobile page speed (Core Web Vitals)
    2-4 quality local backlinks per month

    Google Business Profile is 60% of local SEO

    Weekly photo upload, review request to every completed booking (SMS or email with a direct GBP link), correct NAP consistent across the site, categories set to Taxi Service + relevant sub-categories, service list with prices, opening hours accurate, Q&A section populated with common questions. This alone moves an operator from position 8 to 2 in the local pack within 60-90 days.

    City + airport landing pages that don't get de-indexed

    One page per major service area and per airport served. Each page needs: local landmarks referenced, real airport journey times with sample fares, licensing details (PHV, TLC, PCO), insurance requirements, 2-3 verified reviews from that area, and unique meta title/description. Programmatic templates get de-indexed — hand-written pages rank.

    AEO — the fastest-growing surface

    AI Overviews (Google SGE), ChatGPT search and Perplexity now drive 15-25% of taxi discovery. Rank there with: FAQPage schema on every service page, quick-answer blocks (40-60 words) that directly answer the query, HTML tables (AI Overviews quote them), and full server-side rendering so bots without JavaScript can read the page. All standard on the $8,500 enterprise deployment.

    Technical SEO checklist

    Core Web Vitals: LCP <2.0s, INP <200ms, CLS <0.1. Schema: LocalBusiness on homepage, TaxiService per service page, FAQPage per page with FAQs, BreadcrumbList sitewide. XML sitemap submitted to Google Search Console. Canonical tags on every page. HTTPS enforced. robots.txt allows Googlebot, Bingbot, GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot. Mobile-first indexing verified.

    Backlinks that actually count

    Local business directory listings (Yell, Yelp, TripAdvisor), local news mentions (charity work, driver of the month, community stories), airport concierge partnerships, hotel front-desk listing pages, corporate travel agency inclusion. 2-4 quality links per month beats 40 low-quality directory drops that Google discounts to zero.
