Eldar Cohen

Eldar Cohen founded Local Dominator, a software platform built to improve local search visibility for businesses and SEO companies. His expertise came from working on real businesses first and building the software afterwards, which is the right way round and not the usual one. The focus is Google Maps rankings and Google Business Profile optimisation.

Cohen uses local ranking analysis to find visibility gaps and to work out how a business is doing against the competitors physically nearest to it. That replaces assumptions about ranking factors with observed position, and it ties local visibility to lead generation, so a better ranking gets understood in terms of customers rather than pixels. For SEO companies he has focused on making performance measurable and reportable, which deals with the perennial problem of proving the work was worth the fee.

His background as an entrepreneur shapes how he builds. He finds a problem businesses genuinely have, then builds a system to handle it at scale, combining SEO knowledge with software development and refining through constant testing.

Cohen argues for clear data and practical execution over interpretation, particularly where a business needs to find its ranking opportunities or a company needs to show progress. He is also applying AI to SEO workflows where it genuinely simplifies the analysis. Across Local Dominator and everything else, the aim stays the same: make complicated local search information readable, and turn ranking data into things you can actually do.
