Local SEO

Show Up When Local Customers Search

Local SEO comes down to two places: Google Maps, where your Google Business Profile appears, and the normal results underneath, where your website appears. When someone nearby searches for what you do, you want to be in both.

Why You're Not Showing Up

Good Work, Invisible Online

Plenty of excellent local businesses don't appear on Google at all. The Google profile was never finished, the website has one page for everything, or the site is slow and hard for Google to read. Meanwhile, businesses with half the experience take the calls.

What's Included

Technical, On-Page and Your Google Profile

Keyword page map

We find what your customers search for and give each service the right page

On-page SEO

Page titles, headings, copy and internal links done properly

Technical set-up

A fast site that Google can read easily

Google Business Profile set-up

The right categories, services, areas and photos

Google profile care

Regular posts, replies to reviews, fresh photos and ranking checks

Straight Talking

No Link-Buying and No Guarantees

We don't do off-page SEO or link building, and we don't buy links. Our SEO is technical and on-page work plus your Google profile. We also won't promise you "page one". Google profile rankings usually take around three months to build, and anyone who guarantees a position is guessing.

"These guys are excellent at what they do. We had a good chat about what i needed and wanted from my website then they go off and design it for my review, on top of that they help with getting the most out of your business profile and integrate the two perfectly. Any changes i want to make is never an issue and respond to questions straight away. Quality service"

FAQs

How long does SEO take to work?

A Google profile is usually verified within a few days to two weeks. Rankings typically take around three months to build, sometimes longer in busy areas.

Do I need a new website for SEO?

Not always. If your site is slow or has one page for every service, a rebuild is often the quickest fix. We'll tell you honestly on the call.

Why don't you do link building?

We focus on what we can do well and show you: your website, your Google profile and the technical set-up. We'd rather be upfront than sell you something we don't do.

Can you get me to number 1 on Google?

Nobody can honestly promise that. Positions change depending on where the searcher is standing. We work on what moves you up and show you where you are each month.
