When someone searches "web designer near me" or "plumber New Milton", your business should be there. Local SEO puts you in front of the people most likely to call or visit — those right on your doorstep.
Local SEO is the set of techniques that help your business appear when people nearby search for your services on Google — in the map pack, in the local results and in organic search.
It's different from general SEO because it targets a geographic area and focuses heavily on your Google Business Profile, local citations and reviews — not just your website.
Full setup and ongoing optimisation of your GBP listing — the single most important factor in local rankings. Posts, Q&A, photos, services and weekly updates.
Getting your business listed accurately across Yelp, Yell, Thomson Local, Apple Maps, Bing Places and 50+ directories. Consistent NAP = better rankings.
A proven process to get more genuine 5-star reviews on Google, which directly impacts both rankings and click-through rates.
Service + location pages targeting "your service + your town" searches — the most powerful on-site local SEO tactic.
Getting links from local news sites, business associations, sponsorships and community organisations that signal local relevance to Google.
Your rankings for key local keywords, map pack position, profile views, calls and direction requests — every month.
