Vlad Tabaranu is the founder of Dr IT SEO Services, a search agency at 415 Court Oak Road, Harborne, Birmingham B32 2DX.

Who Vlad Is and What He Does
Vlad Tabaranu is a local SEO and web design specialist based in Harborne, Birmingham. He founded Dr IT SEO Services and runs it as a founder-led practice, which means the same person conducts the audit, configures the Google Business Profile, writes the pages, fixes the technical faults and answers the phone.
His work covers Google Business Profile optimisation, map-pack and Google Maps visibility, citation consistency, service-area coverage, technical SEO, and WordPress websites built to rank and convert. His clients are service businesses: electricians, builders, vehicle repairers, landscapers, property maintenance contractors, clearance companies, retailers and clinics.
Documented Work
DrClear, property clearance, Wednesbury. Organic clicks grew 335% per day and impressions 631% per day, with average position improving from 26.2 to 23.6, in the nine months to July 2026, measured in Google Search Console.
KelsusIT, refurbished IT ecommerce. As online manager from April 2017 to September 2018, an in-house role rather than an agency engagement, Vlad grew online sales from £800,000 across 2016 to £2.8 million between April and December 2017. Organic traffic scaled from roughly 1,500 to more than 7,000 monthly visitors across more than 25,000 ranked keywords.
Timeless Skincare, medical aesthetics, London. An organic footprint scaled to more than 1,000 competitive localised keywords with more than 3,000 monthly organic visitors.
LoveVape, multi-location vape retail. A search footprint capturing more than 450 high-intent commercial keywords.
Each of these is set out with its period, its source and its caveats on the case studies page, including the figures that were dropped for failing their own arithmetic.
Current trades clients include AVS Electrical and AVS Building Services in London, AutoPop Accident Repair Centre in Darlaston, and TKL Birmingham Gardener. Each of those sites carries a Dr IT SEO credit in its own footer. No published ranking figures are held for them, so none are quoted.
Where the Entity SEO Method Comes From
Vlad was mentored by Casey Keith in entity SEO. His entity-SEO practice is grounded in Casey Keith’s Semantic SEO Course: Treasure Map, the semantic-architecture system that teaches a business to be defined as a distinct entity, its facts structured for search engines, and its entity signals built so it is recognised and cited. He works in PirateSERP, the SaaS built for SEO specialists and digital agencies, to research keywords and entities, write search-ready content, map entities, track rankings, and plan paid campaigns. He also takes part in SEO Training Camp, the community where Casey Keith teaches from the Treasure Map material every Wednesday and members share resources and results.
Entity SEO treats a business as a defined thing that search systems must identify, rather than as a collection of keywords. In practice that means publishing checkable identifiers, keeping one consistent name and address everywhere, corroborating claims against sources outside your own website, and describing services in the terms practitioners actually use.
That approach explains a pattern visible across this site: identifiers published with their registration numbers and awarding bodies, figures published with their period and source, and claims left off pages when the evidence is not there yet.
“That’s what Vlad got the experience of the moment he deleted all the informational content. All of a sudden, Vlad now gives clients to his competitors cuz he’s too busy. He sends competitors away now because he has too much work. Informational doesn’t make the phone ring. Commercial intent does.”
Watch on YouTube: “Is your site losing traffic? Try deleting your old blog posts.”
What Founder-Led Actually Means
One person, start to finish. No account manager relaying questions to someone you never speak to. The trade-off is honest: a founder-led practice has finite capacity and cannot take unlimited clients.
A baseline before any work starts. Rankings, profile state and traffic recorded at the outset, because a result you cannot compare against a baseline is not a result.
Claims only where evidence exists. Client figures are published with the period they cover and the source they came from, or not published. Where a client has not given permission to be named, they are not named.
Plain answers about limits. No agency controls Google’s decision to crawl, index, rank or cite a page. Vlad says what can be controlled and what cannot, before an engagement rather than after.
