About Rank It Globally
We help good businesses become the answer customers find.
Rank It Globally is an AI SEO and local SEO agency based in Brooklyn, New York. We get businesses recommended on Google, Google Maps and AI answers, and we measure our work in the calls, bookings and enquiries it brings in.
Our story
Two co-founders, one hands-on team.
Rank It Globally grew out of more than 150 freelance client engagements. The agency keeps what clients valued about that: direct access to the people doing the work, and honest reporting, now with a team behind it to execute faster.
Haroon Shahbaz and Hafiz Abubakar Gill co-founded Rank It Globally with one goal: help businesses show up online and actually grow. Haroon brings strategy, SEO and web design; Abubakar brings custom solutions and the technical depth to build what a plan needs.
Search has changed more in the last two years than in the ten before. Customers now ask Google's AI Overviews and ChatGPT who to call. Our job is to make sure the answer is you.

Haroon leads strategy, SEO and web design and development. He works with clients across the US, UK, Canada, Australia and the UAE, and runs his own web properties too. Staying in the trenches keeps the thinking sharp.
Hafiz Abubakar Gill
Co-founder
Custom solutions & technical builds
Abubakar leads custom solutions and the technical side of every project: custom builds, integrations and the technical foundations that help a site load fast, get indexed and turn visitors into leads.
What we believe
Four promises we work by.
These shape every plan, every report and every conversation.
Leads over rankings
Rankings are a means, not the goal. We report the calls, forms and bookings that come from search.
No shortcuts
No bought reviews, no paid link schemes, no keyword-stuffed profiles. Nothing that could get you penalized later.
Plain English, every month
You get a clear report and a list of what we did. No jargon and no vanity charts.
You talk to the strategist
The person planning your work is the person you talk to, on WhatsApp or a call.
