Dhaka retail brands often spend on national keywords while the Google Business Profile (GBP) still shows a dead phone number or a photo of a different shop. This checklist is original local-SEO practice from work in Dhanmondi and other Dhaka neighbourhoods. It is not scraped from a global SEO blog.
Shoppers searching a category plus “Dhanmondi” or “near me” convert when name, address and phone are consistent, hours are true on Fridays, and photos show the real storefront. Official GBP help is at support.google.com/business.
Checklist we actually use
- Exact address match with the website contact page — same spelling of road and area.
- Primary category that describes what you sell, not a vanity category you hope ranks.
- Weekly posts only when there is a real offer or hours change; empty GBP posts are noise.
- Review replies in Bangla and English within two business days, written by someone who can honour the promise.
- Service-area pages only for areas you truly serve. Inventing a Gulshan landing page for a store that never delivers there is a trust problem, not an SEO hack.
- Product listing pages that load on mid-range Android phones over 4G. A three-second target is a discipline, not a trophy screenshot.
What we measure
We look at calls, direction requests and store visits you can reconcile with till data — not vanity impression charts. IMRAN AHMED MOSHIO runs local SEO retainers for retail and clinic clients in Dhaka. Request an audit via Contact.
