Local SEO

    Local SEO that gets you into the map pack

    For local businesses, ranking on Google isn't about being #1 for a generic keyword — it's about showing up in the three-result map pack when someone in your city searches for what you do. That's where 80% of the clicks go.

    Our local SEO service is built around the signals Google actually uses to rank local businesses: a fully-optimized Google Business Profile, real citations, a steady review cadence, and neighbourhood-level content on your site.

    What's included

    Everything you need to launch, rank, and convert — built into every project.

    Google Business Profile audit + optimization

    Categories, services, description, photos, posts, and Q&A tuned to push you into the top 3.

    Local citations & directory cleanup

    Consistent NAP (name, address, phone) across the directories Google actually reads for your industry and region.

    Review generation strategy

    A repeatable system for asking happy customers for reviews, plus templated responses that reinforce your ranking keywords.

    Neighbourhood landing pages

    One page per area you serve, each optimized to rank locally and speak to that neighbourhood's clientele.

    Local schema markup

    LocalBusiness, service, and geo schema so search engines understand exactly where you operate and what you offer.

    Monthly ranking + call tracking

    Plain-English reports showing where you rank in each target area, and how many calls and form fills came from local search.

    Frequently asked questions

    How long until local SEO works?

    Google Business Profile changes and map-pack movement typically show up in 4–8 weeks. Organic rankings on service-area pages usually build steadily between months 2 and 6.

    Do I need to be in the city I want to rank in?

    You need a legitimate service address or a verified GBP with real service-area coverage. Google is aggressive about penalizing fake or virtual local listings, so we only set up profiles you can actually verify.

    How important are Google reviews?

    Very. Review count, recency, and keywords in reviews all directly influence local rankings — a business with 80 recent reviews will typically outrank one with 800 old reviews in the same category.

    Will this help me rank on Bing and Apple Maps too?

    Partially. We optimize the platforms that drive real traffic in your industry — for most local businesses that's Google, then Apple Maps for iPhone users, and Bing a distant third.

    Can I keep my current website?

    Yes, if it's technically sound and has room for the neighbourhood pages and schema we need to add. We'll audit it first and only recommend a rebuild if the foundation is holding you back.

    We build it free first — you only pay if you love it

    No deposit, no risk. We design and build your site up front. You only start paying once you see the finished product and want to keep it live.
