Lior Manelis launches Lior SEO in South Florida

Lior Manelis has opened Lior SEO, a Cooper City practice serving businesses across Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties with SEO and web design. The firm is built around direct founder-led service, capped free audits and a narrow focus on local search, website work and AI search visibility.

Why it matters: - Lior SEO is targeting small and midsize businesses across South Florida with founder-led search and website work. - The practice is built to keep the same person on strategy, execution and client communication, which can affect speed, consistency and capacity. - The firm’s focus on local SEO, Google Business Profile work and AI search visibility reflects how businesses are trying to be found in search and in chatbot answers.

What happened: - Lior Manelis launched Lior SEO, a search engine optimization and web design practice headquartered in Cooper City, Florida. - The practice serves businesses in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties. - The website, liorseo.com, went live this month. - Manelis has more than 14 years of experience in local search. - Manelis has worked with more than 250 companies, including single-location businesses, multi-location franchises and enterprises. - Manelis is also a co-founder of BlckPanda Creative.

The details: - Lior SEO is structured around one operator rather than an account team. - Clients work directly with Manelis, with no account managers between the client and the work. - The practice offers local SEO, Google Business Profile work, technical SEO and AI search visibility services. - AI search visibility measures whether assistants such as chatbots name a business when answering a question instead of listing links. - Lior SEO measures four items: organic search position, position across a grid of map scan points, whether assistants name the business, and the calls and visits that result. - The website includes city pages for Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Boca Raton, plus SEO pages for Doral, Cooper City, Coral Springs and Delray Beach. - Web design pages cover Pompano Beach and Delray Beach, with each page written for that city. - Web design services include WordPress builds, landing pages and redesigns. - Each website project starts with a map of every page and the single job each page does before visual design begins. - Clients keep the site, the domain and the analytics in their own name when the project is finished. - Website builds are one-off projects with no minimum term. - SEO retainers have a six-month minimum initial term. - Lior SEO sets written benchmarks at three months and six months for SEO retainers. - Lior SEO does not manage paid advertising or social media accounts. - The website states that limitation directly. - The practice works across 18 trades and professions, including law firms, dental practices, med spas, pest control, pool service and solar. - The website has a page for each trade, written around the Florida law or building code that applies to it. - A law firm's website counts as lawyer advertising under Florida Bar rules. - A pest control company's advertising counts as pest control under state law. - Lior SEO does not name clients on its website. - Case studies identify a business by trade and city only. - Businesses in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties can request a free recorded audit through the website. - Each audit is a recording made by Manelis with the business's site open on screen, not a PDF or automated score. - The number of free audits completed each week is capped. - Businesses with fewer than 15 Google reviews are told to build reviews before starting search work. - Service details and pricing are published at liorseo.com.

Between the lines: - The limited audit volume and direct-founder model suggest Lior SEO is positioning itself as a selective, high-touch practice rather than a scale-first agency. - The trade-specific pages and legal-code framing point to a compliance-aware content strategy for regulated local businesses. - The emphasis on AI search visibility shows the practice is adapting to a search environment where answer engines can influence discovery, not just traditional search results.

What's next: - South Florida businesses can apply for free recorded audits through the website. - SEO retainers will likely be evaluated against the three-month and six-month benchmarks. - More city and trade-specific pages may continue to support local lead generation as the practice grows. - The firm’s capped audit process suggests new clients will be added selectively rather than at scale.
