Google Business Profile
Set up, completed and kept current: categories, services, hours, photos and posts.
Be the business people nearby find first.
We help people searching near you find your business on Google Maps and in local results, and choose you.
The problem
For many businesses, the map is the homepage. When someone searches for what you do near them, a handful of businesses appear on the map before any website. If you are not one of them, you are not in the running, however good your work is.
What local seo includes.
6 parts, planned together with the rest of your marketing.
Reviews
A simple, honest way to ask happy customers for reviews, and a plan for replying to them.
Local listings
Your business details kept consistent across the directories and platforms that matter.
Local pages and content
Pages on your site that answer what nearby customers ask, written for real people.
Local authority
Mentions and links from local organisations, suppliers and directories.
Reporting
Calls, direction requests and enquiries from the map, reported in plain English.
How Local SEO fits with the rest of your marketing
Local search works best when your website, reviews and profile all agree. A strong site gives your map listing something to point to, and ads can bring early calls while local search builds.

The things people ask us about Local SEO.
No. Businesses that travel to customers can set up a service-area profile and choose the areas they cover. If you work from home, you can keep your address private.
Completing an unfinished profile can help quickly, while reviews and local authority take longer to build. We give a realistic view once we have looked at your area and your competitors.
No. Google decides the results, and nobody outside it controls them. We improve what is in your hands (the profile, the reviews, the pages and the consistency of your details) and report honestly on what moves.
SEO covers how your website is found in search in general. Local SEO focuses on map results and "near me" searches, and relies heavily on your Google Business Profile and reviews.
