Why Local SEO Matters
Most people looking for a local service never scroll past the map.
If you are not in the top three on the map, most local customers will never see you.
Search for an accountant, a plumber or a clinic and Google shows a map with three businesses before anything else. Those three get most of the clicks, calls and direction requests. Everyone else is fighting over what is left.
Local search is also where AI is moving fastest. Google’s AI Overviews and tools like ChatGPT now answer questions such as “who is the best dentist near me” by pulling from Business Profiles, reviews and local websites. Strong local SEO puts you in both places.
Our Local SEO Services
Everything that decides whether you show up when people nearby search.
Google Business Profile optimisation
Categories, services, photos, posts and Q&A set up properly and kept active, so Google has every reason to show you.
Review strategy
A simple routine for asking happy customers for reviews and replying to every one, good or bad.
Local citations and NAP
Your name, address and phone number made consistent across directories, maps and data sources.
Location and service pages
Pages for the towns you cover that are genuinely useful, not the same text with the city name swapped.
Local links and mentions
Links from local news, partners, sponsors and associations that prove you are part of the area.
Local rank tracking
We track where you appear on the map across your whole area, not just from one postcode.
Common Local SEO Problems We Fix
Tap any problem to see what it costs you and how we sort it.
Your Business Profile is incomplete or unverified
Google favours complete, active profiles. We fill every field, choose the right categories and keep it updated.
Competitors have far more reviews
Reviews are one of the strongest local ranking signals. We set up a review routine that fits how you already work.
Your address or phone number varies online
Inconsistent details confuse Google and AI tools. We clean up your listings so they match everywhere.
You only rank near your office
We build relevance for the other towns you serve with local pages, links and profile content.
Your location pages are thin and repetitive
Copy-and-paste location pages can do more harm than good. We rewrite them with content only that town could have.
You have no idea which calls come from Google
We set up call and enquiry tracking from your Business Profile and website so you can see what local SEO brings in.

Straight answers to the questions we get asked most. Can’t see yours?
Ask us directlyWhat is local SEO?
Local SEO is the work that gets your business found when people search for a service in a particular area, such as “electrician in Derby” or “physio near me”. It covers your Google Business Profile, reviews, local listings and the pages on your website that target the towns you serve.
How do I get into the Google map pack?
Google ranks map results on relevance, distance and prominence. You can’t change where a searcher is, but you can improve relevance with a complete Business Profile and good local pages, and prominence with reviews, links and consistent listings.
How long does local SEO take?
Profile and listing fixes often show results within a few weeks. Moving into the top three for competitive searches usually takes three to six months of steady work on reviews, content and links.
Do I need a physical address for local SEO?
No. Service-area businesses that visit customers can hide their address and set the areas they cover. You still need a genuine business location to verify the profile.
How much do local SEO services cost?
Local SEO is included in our Growth plan at £600 a month, alongside technical and content work. The first audit and three-month roadmap are free for a limited time.
Does local SEO help with AI search?
Yes. AI tools answer local questions using Business Profiles, reviews and local websites. The same work that gets you into the map pack makes you more likely to be recommended by ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews.
