About Maria Loures Andres — Equipped VA
THE SEO SPECIALIST BEHIND THE RANKINGS
I’m Maria Lourdes Andres, an SEO specialist from the Philippines with 3 years of hands-on experience supporting agencies and clients across some of the most competitive local service industries: law firms, construction, custom homes, pest control, garage doors, gutter companies, and autism care providers, many of them multi-location, multi-service businesses.
My background isn’t just SEO in isolation. I’ve worked across the full digital marketing stack, as an SEO assistant, social media manager, and marketing assistant, which means I understand how search and social work together. Because today, ranking isn’t just about Google. It’s about showing up where your audience is searching: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and increasingly, AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.
That cross-channel perspective shapes how I approach every project. I don’t just optimize pages, I build content strategies that earn visibility across search engines, social platforms, and the AI tools that are rapidly changing how people find businesses.
What I do
Started where most people do: figuring things out on real websites, with real clients, and real stakes. That hands-on, trial-by-fire experience shaped how I approach every project — with honesty about what’s possible, and a clear system for getting there.
Local SEO & GMB
Google Business Profile optimization, local citation building, Map Pack strategy, and hyper-local content — built for service-area businesses, multi-location operators, and anyone who needs to rank in the neighborhoods that matter.
ON- Page SEO
Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, internal linking, and keyword placement done right. Every page optimized so search engines understand exactly what it's about — and rank it accordingly.
Off Page SEO
Link building, digital PR, and authority signals that tell Google your site is worth ranking. Focus on earning quality backlinks through relevant placements — not shortcuts that risk penalties.
Content Strategy
Keyword research, topical clusters, and content planning that answers what your audience is actually searching for, on Google, on social, and inside AI tools. Content that works across the full digital ecosystem.
Technical SEO
Site speed, crawlability, indexation, schema markup, Core Web Vitals, and everything under the hood that affects how search engines access and understand your site. The foundation everything else is built on.
GEO & AI SEO
Optimizing your content to appear inside AI-generated answers on ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity — not just below them. This is where search is heading, and most businesses aren't positioned for it yet.
What makes my approach different
SEO + social media, not just Google
Search now happens on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and inside AI tools — not just Google. My background in social media management means I understand how content needs to work across all of these, not just one.
Agency-trained, detail-oriented
Three years supporting agencies and clients across law firms, construction, pest control, custom homes, and more. I've worked in high-volume environments where accuracy and consistency aren't optional.
Honest about what's possible
No overnight ranking promises. No vanity metrics. I tell you what's realistic, give you a clear picture of what needs doing, and do the methodical work that builds momentum over time.
