About Perino Ranks Local
I Help Local Businesses Get Found Where Customers Are Looking.
Hi, I’m Ralf Alexis Perino, originally from Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, and currently based in Pangasinan, Philippines. I built Perino Ranks Local around a simple belief: a good business shouldn’t remain invisible simply because customers can’t find it online.
With 5 years of experience in SEO and 3 years focused on Local SEO, I help local business owners improve their visibility across Google Search, Google Maps, and AI search. I started Perino Ranks Local to make online marketing simpler and help business owners focus on what actually matters.
The goal is simple: help more customers find, and choose your business.
HOW IT STARTED
It Started With Curiosity.
- My journey into SEO started with a simple question:
Why does Google show one business before another?
When I started looking deeper into search, I became interested in what actually influences visibility—Google Business Profiles, websites, reviews, citations, links, relevance, competition, and the many signals search engines use to understand a business.

The more I learned, the more I realized that Local SEO was different. A local business isn’t simply trying to get a page ranked. It’s trying to get found by someone who may need its service right now. That is what pulled me deeper into Google Maps and Local SEO. What started as curiosity became a specialization.

Because Local Search Can Be Measured in the Real World.

- A phone call.
- A website visit.
- A quote request.
- A booking.
- A new customer.
- Rankings still matter—but they aren't the final objective.
The real question is:
- Is your search visibility helping more potential customers discover and choose your business?
- That is the standard I want my work to be measured against.

HOW I LOOK AT SEO
I Don't Believe in SEO for the Sake of SEO.
A ranking report can tell you where a business appears. It doesn’t necessarily tell you whether the business is becoming easier to discover, whether customers are engaging with it, or whether the visibility is creating opportunities. That’s why I look beyond a single ranking position.
I consider how the Google Business Profile, website, local relevance, citations, reviews, technical foundation, content, authority, and competitors work together.
