Who does your work
The person you hire is the person doing the work
I’m Ashikur Rahman. I’ve spent the better part of a decade in SEO, most recently as Partner and SEO Manager at Doctor Rank, a medical and legal SEO agency I helped found. Every plan, every strategy and every client win there ran through me and my team. Proximity Ranker is the next step, my own practice, built the way I’ve always believed this work should be done.
I keep it small on purpose. I stay selective about who I sign and cap how many clients I take on, so nobody ends up with a template pulled from a drawer. I build your strategy around your specialty, your city and your goals. My own background is in law, an LL.B and an LL.M, and that turns out to be a real edge in YMYL niches like medicine and law, where Google and AI reward genuine expertise and trust.
Hire Proximity Ranker and you work with me, not an account manager. I am not reviewing someone else’s work, I am doing it. The audit, the technical fixes, the content plan, the schema and the AI search work are mine. My team handles the off-page side and your reporting. Search has moved past ten blue links. Your next clients are already asking Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity who to trust, and earning a place inside those answers is the work I care about most.
Book a call and you talk to me directly, not an account manager.

Websites we design
Sites built to convert, not just look good
Conversion-first websites designed and built per niche, fast, accessible and ready to rank from day one.
One expert for rankings, AI answers and the site itself
I do the work myself. Not a strategy deck handed down to someone cheaper. The audit, the technical fixes, the content plan, the schema and the AI search work are all mine, on the same site, so SEO and design never fight each other.
Our Services
Three services, two industries, one system
The same three levers behind every client: the rankings that put you in front of people already searching, the AI answers that name you, and a site that turns both into booked work.
For medical and dental practices, we offer
SEO
Own the map pack and the symptom searches that turn into booked appointments. Local and technical SEO built for the YMYL niches Google holds to a higher bar.
ChatGPT SEO / AI Search
Be the practice ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity name when a patient asks who to see, instead of a directory that resells your name as a lead.
Website Design
Conversion-first practice websites that earn trust in seconds and turn a visitor into a booked appointment rather than a round of phone tag.
For law firms, we offer
SEO
Own the case-type searches and the map pack in the counties you actually practise in, on the everyday matters and the high-value ones both.
ChatGPT SEO / AI Search
Be the firm ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity name and cite when someone asks who to hire, before they open a single search result.
Website Design
Firm websites that read as credible in seconds and turn a nervous first-time caller into a booked consultation.
Who we serve
Proven across YMYL industries
Your Money or Your Life niches are held to a higher bar by Google and by AI. We build the trust signals those industries demand.
Medical
Be one of the three names patients see
When someone searches for care nearby, most people call one of the first practices Google shows them. We build the profile, reviews and local pages it takes to be in that group.
Map packWhere patients look
TrustReviews and credentials
BookingsCalls you can track
Dental & Orthodontic
When AI names a dentist, it should be you
Google now answers near-me dentist searches with one or two practices named right inside the AI Overview. We build the reviews, service pages and structured data that make you the one it names.
AI OverviewsNamed and cited
ReviewsProof AI can quote
New patientsBooked, not browsing
Legal
Get the call, not just the click
Personal injury, family and criminal firms compete for the most expensive clicks in search. We make sure the people asking Google and ChatGPT for a lawyer are handed your name, and that your site does the rest.
Case typesA page that ranks for each
ConsultsCalls and forms tracked
AuthorityLinks and citations
AI search optimization
When someone asks AI, your name should come up
Search is splitting between blue links and AI answers. We build for both, so when someone asks an assistant who to trust, your business is the one it quotes.

YOU
Why us
Why practices and firms choose us
I stay small on purpose, I only work where trust decides who gets the call, and I own your rankings, your AI visibility and the website they run on rather than spreading them across three vendors who never speak.
Medical and legal only
Specialist medical and dental practices, and law firms. Nothing else. Psychiatrists, gastroenterologists, pain management clinics, ENT doctors, urologists, sleep clinics, ophthalmologists, dentists and orthodontists. These are the niches Google and AI hold to the highest trust bar, and clearing that bar is what we do every day.
The person you hire is the person doing the work
No designer who ignores SEO, no SEO who breaks your site, and no junior learning on your account. I handle the rankings, the content and the build myself. My team takes the off-page work and your reporting so I stay on what moves the needle.
Built for AI search now
We structure your pages so AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity can quote you today, not after your traffic drops and you are trying to win it back.
Reporting you can act on
Calls, forms and booked appointments, tracked to the source. Not a chart about impressions that tells you nothing you can do anything with.
Who you work with
You work with me. Nobody else touches your account.
Your audit, your strategy, the technical build, the schema, the AI search side, the off-page and your monthly report all come from me. The agents I built take the mechanical volume off my desk so the judgment work stays where it belongs.

What does Proximity Ranker actually do?
I run a local SEO and website design practice for medical and legal clients. It is the complete program: local and technical SEO, AI search optimization, and UX-led website design and development. SEO and design live with the same person, so they support each other instead of fighting.
Who actually does the work?
I do. Not “I oversee it.” I run the audit, write the strategy, do the technical and on-page work, build the schema, handle the AI search side, do the off-page and backlink work, clean up the citations and write your monthly report. There is no junior to hand it to and no account manager to sit on a call explaining work they did not do. Custom AI agents do the slow mechanical parts, crawling every page and auditing schema across hundreds of URLs, and that is a large part of why one person can cover this much and why the price is what it is.
You do all of it yourself. What if you are unavailable?
That is the honest tradeoff of hiring the person instead of the agency, and I would rather name it than have you find it. It is exactly why I cap how many clients I take. I would sooner turn work away than be spread thin enough that your account gets the leftovers, and a capped list is also what makes a week away recoverable instead of a problem. Nothing is locked behind me either. Everything lives in your accounts, not mine: your Search Console, your Google Business Profile, your website, your analytics. There is no lock-in, and if you ever leave you keep every asset and every page.
Which businesses do you work with?
Specialist medical and dental practices and law firms only. On the medical side that means psychiatrists, gastroenterologists, pain management clinics, ENT doctors, urologists, sleep medicine clinics and ophthalmologists. On the dental side, dentists and orthodontists. These are YMYL niches, Your Money or Your Life, which Google and AI hold to a higher trust bar than most industries. Clearing that bar is the work we do every day, so we would rather be excellent in a handful of specialties than average across thirty.
What is AI search optimization?
Search is splitting between classic blue links and AI answers from tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity. We structure your content, schema and entities so AI assistants cite your business as the answer, not just a competitor.
Do you build the website too, or only do SEO?
Both. We design and develop the site with UX and conversion in mind, then run SEO on the same foundation. You can start with a build, with SEO, or with the free audit and decide from there.
Is the free audit really free?
Yes. The audit reviews your technical health, local SEO and AI search readiness with a prioritized action list, with no obligation. If it makes sense to keep working together after that, we scope pricing to your market and goals.
