About the Founder

Meet Ashikur Rahman, the Founder Who Reviews Every Strategy Before It Ships

I’m Ashikur Rahman. I run Proximity Ranker myself, keep the client list short on purpose, and read every strategy before it goes out.

The story

Why I built Proximity Ranker

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 agency, built the way I’ve always believed this work should be done.

I keep it small on purpose. We stay selective about who we sign and cap how many clients we take on, so nobody ends up with a template pulled from a drawer. We 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 look over every strategy, every author block and every AI search recommendation before it ships. 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.

How I work

Four things I do differently

You work with me, not a middleman

Hire Proximity Ranker and I am the one on your account. I look over the content, the author blocks and the AI recommendations myself before any of it ships.

I cap how many clients I take

A short client list is a deliberate choice. It is the only way every plan gets built around your specialty, your city and your goals, instead of pulled from a drawer.

A law background, put to work in YMYL

My degrees are in law, an LL.B and an LL.M. In medicine and law, where Google and AI reward real expertise and trust, that training turns out to be a genuine edge.

I build for AI answers, not just rankings

Search has moved past ten blue links. I structure your pages so AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity can quote you, and earning a place in those answers is the work I care about most.
