Get found on Google by nearby customers - map pack, local results, and Google Business Profile. A local team, plain-English reporting, and no long-term contracts.
Local SEO services
When someone nearby searches for what you do, you want to be the business Google shows first. Local SEO is the ongoing work that gets you into the map pack and the local results - on-page optimization, Google Business Profile, reviews, citations, and content.
It pairs with a fast, well-built website and active Google Business Profile management. No jargon, no lock-in - just the steady, compounding work that gets a small business found and keeps it there.
What’s included
The engine of local search - posts, reviews, and profile optimization to win the map pack.
Titles, headings, content, and structure tuned for the terms your local customers actually search.
A steady flow of recent, positive reviews - a top ranking signal and the first thing customers check.
Plain-language monthly reporting on rankings, calls, and directions - so you know what’s working.
SEO packages
Every engagement is month-to-month with no lock-in, all work happens in accounts you own, and the initial audit is free.
Google Business Profile optimization and posting, citation clean-up and building, review strategy, on-page fixes to your key service pages, and monthly reporting in plain English. The right starting point for a single-location business that has never had SEO done properly.
Everything above, plus neighbourhood and service-area landing pages, ongoing content built from what customers actually search, technical WordPress SEO, and local link and partnership outreach. This is where most of our clients sit.
For contested categories: legal, real estate, dental, cosmetic, multi-location. Deeper content production, e-commerce or multi-service architecture, answer engine optimization for AI search, and competitor displacement work in the map pack.
Not sure which fits? The free audit will tell you - and we'll say so if the honest answer is that you don't need us yet.
What's involved
For most local businesses this is the single highest-leverage asset, and most are barely using it. Complete categories and attributes, real photos, accurate hours including holidays, services and products listed out, regular posts, and Q&A seeded with the questions customers actually ask. See Google Business Profile management.
Your business name, address and phone number have to match exactly everywhere they appear. Inconsistency across directories quietly caps how well you can rank, and it accumulates over years without anyone noticing. Cleaning it up is unglamorous and it works.
One page per service with no overlap, proper heading structure, unique titles and meta descriptions, schema markup, internal linking that tells Google which page owns which topic, and Core Web Vitals kept healthy. Most sites gain more from restructuring what exists than from writing anything new.
Not blog posts for the sake of it. Pages that answer the specific questions your customers type before they buy, in the words they use. We pull those from Search Console, from your own enquiries, and from what competitors already rank for.
Volume, recency and keyword content in reviews all feed local ranking. We help you build the habit of asking at the right moment, respond properly to the bad ones, and never fabricate anything.
A growing share of customers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI Overviews before they see any blue links. Getting cited by those systems uses many of the same foundations as local SEO. See answer engine optimization.
Timelines
Google Business Profile work often shows movement in the first four to eight weeks, because it's the fastest-responding part of the system. Neighbourhood and long-tail service pages typically move in three to six months. Competitive head terms - the ones with a city name and a high-value category attached - take six to twelve months of consistent work, sometimes longer if the incumbents are actively investing. Anyone promising page one in thirty days is either misunderstanding the market or misleading you, and it's usually worth asking which.
