Vlad Tabaranu is an SEO specialist and marketing consultant based in Harborne, Birmingham. He operates LocalisedSEO UK, the official UK franchise of LocalisedSEO, and delivers every campaign personally.
He founded Dr IT Services in 2000 and Dr IT SEO Services in 2010. Those are separate businesses under the same operator, which matters when reading any result attributed to them.
What he does
Vlad specialises in local SEO, Google Business Profile optimisation and WordPress builds that prioritise page speed and conversion. His method starts with the entity: the business name, services, audiences, locations, credentials and relationships that define a company. Those facts then drive the website architecture, the local content, the Google Business Profile, the citations and the internal links.
Campaigns run from audit and strategy through implementation and measurement. There is no outsourced fulfilment team, no junior account handler and no call centre between the person planning the work and the person doing it.
Where the technical side comes from
Vlad has worked in IT problem-solving since 2000, in computer repair and data recovery. That background shapes how technical SEO gets handled here: a slow page, a broken redirect or a crawl problem is investigated as part of the customer and search journey, rather than ticked off a checklist in isolation.
Credentials
Vlad holds three current Google Skillshop certifications:
- Conversion Optimization Certification
- Google Analytics Certification
- Google Ads Search Certification
All three can be verified on his public credential wallet.
Published work
Vlad is the author of ENTITY-FIRST SEO: A Beginner’s Handbook for Helpful Content, Semantic Search, Local Visibility, and Conversion.
The LocalisedSEO franchise
LocalisedSEO UK is an official LocalisedSEO franchise and a trading name of Vlad Tabaranu. The brand was founded by Casey Keith in 2003 and brings its local-business, Entity SEO and Semantic SEO practice to UK service businesses through localisedseo.com. UK campaigns are delivered directly by Vlad.
The method behind that practice is Casey Keith’s Semantic SEO Course: Treasure Map, which sets out how a business is defined as a distinct entity, how its facts are structured for search engines, and how the entity signals that get a business recognised and cited are built. Delivery runs on PirateSERP, the SaaS built for SEO specialists and digital agencies, for keyword and entity research, search-ready content, entity mapping, rank tracking and paid-campaign planning. Casey Keith also teaches from the Treasure Map material every Wednesday in SEO Training Camp, the community where members share resources and results.
LocalisedSEO UK and Dr IT SEO Services are separate business entities. Any experience or result originating from work under the Dr IT SEO Services name is identified and attributed as such.
