About Us
Proximity Ranker is a law firm SEO and AI search agency run by its founder. One person owns your rankings, your AI visibility, your reviews, your ads and your site, instead of five vendors who never speak.
01Who we are
Proximity Ranker is an SEO, AI search, Google Business Profile, negative review removal, Google Ads and website design agency for law firms, run by Ashikur Rahman. Six services, one person doing the work, one plan per client.
The goal is simple. When someone searches Google or asks ChatGPT which lawyer to call, your firm should be one of the names they are given, and your site should turn that visit into a call. The reporting tracks exactly that: calls, forms and consultations, traced to their source.
The client list is short on purpose, so every plan is built around your firm, your case types and your city instead of pulled from a template. Ashikur does the SEO, content, Business Profile, ads, review, off-page and reporting work himself, with AI agents handling the slow mechanical checks, so nothing falls through a handoff between a designer who ignores SEO and an SEO who breaks your site.
At a glance
02Is this the right agency
Most agencies will take any firm that can pay. This one is built for a particular kind of firm, so it is fair to say which.
If you are not sure which side you are on, the audit will tell us both. It is a week of real work, and you keep the PDF either way.
03Why us
Four things that are true of this agency and not of most, each one something you can check on a call.
No salesperson who closes you, no junior learning on your account, no account manager in between. The audit, the pages, the Business Profile, the review work, the AI search checks and the reporting are Ashikur's own work, every month.
An LL.B and an LL.M in International Law mean he can read the rules a legal page is built on and write to the advertising rules of your bar or law society: no guarantees, no unjustified expectations, nothing confidential in a review reply. His work is search, not legal practice, so he gives no legal advice and your lawyers approve every word.
Potential clients already ask ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews which lawyer to call. Your firm's identity, pages and reviews are structured so those engines can verify and quote you, and what they say about you is checked every month.
The domain, the site and its code, the content, the Business Profile, Search Console and Analytics are yours from day one. There is no long contract, the audit is free on the SEO plan, and the report counts calls and signed cases rather than impressions.
04What we do
SEO, AI search, the Business Profile, the reviews, the ads and the website all live with one person, so they support each other instead of fighting.
Who we work with
Each practice has its own page, its own searches and its own plan. Other consumer-facing practices on request.
05How we got here
Nine years of search work, two law degrees and a medical and legal agency, in the order they happened.
Ashikur starts in SEO as a freelancer, learning search on real client sites rather than in a classroom.
Freelance SEO for stores and service businesses on Shopify, Wix, Webflow and WordPress, from technical fixes to content and local search.
Two law degrees from the University of Rajshahi, Department of Law, which is why legal content, where the rules on what you can claim are strict, became the work he is most at home in.
Inside a medical and legal SEO agency, the law firm accounts showed him that the map pack and the reviews decide most of the calls a firm gets.
The agency opens for law firms only: five practice areas, six services, and the audit as the first step for every client.
06Who does the work
The person you meet on the first call is the person on your account every month after it. No white label, no handoff.
In SEO since 2017 and the person doing the work on your account, not reviewing somebody else's. Former SEO Manager at Doctor Rank. Runs SEO, AI search, Google Ads and negative review removal for immigration, personal injury, family, criminal defense and estate planning firms. LL.B and LL.M in International Law.
Not a person, and we will not pretend otherwise. Custom Claude agents crawl every page, audit schema, and push fixes across a whole site in minutes. The thinking stays human. The tedious part does not.
Ashikur Rahman, the founder. He runs the audit, writes and structures the pages, sets up and runs the Business Profile, handles the review disputes and replies, runs the ads account and writes the monthly report. Custom AI agents handle the slow mechanical checks, such as crawling every page or auditing schema across a site, under his review.
No on both. Ashikur holds an LL.B and an LL.M in International Law, which is why he can read the rules a legal page is built on, but his job is SEO and AI search, not practicing law, and he gives no legal advice. Your lawyers approve every word before it goes live.
A short list, on purpose. Every plan is built around the firm's case types and city, and that only works when one person can hold every account in his head. When the list is full, he says so rather than taking the work and handing it to someone else.
They crawl every page, check schema, read reviews and compare search results at a scale one person cannot, and they push approved fixes across a whole site in minutes. They do not decide strategy, write your pages unsupervised or publish anything. The thinking stays human.
From law firm clients Ashikur works with himself, through Proximity Ranker. Every screen states its own period, the figures are read off the dashboard rather than projected, and no client is named without permission.
No lock-in. The SEO plan is $799 a month and runs month to month, with the audit included. The one exception is the free website: take it and you commit to six months. Everything built lives in your accounts, so leaving costs you nothing but the work itself.
08How every engagement begins
The audit covers your map pack, your Business Profile, your reviews and what the AI engines say about your firm, and comes back as a PDF with every fix in order. $350 for one office or $550 for two, and free on the SEO plan.
