What's included
Google Business Profile, citations, reviews and local pages.
Google Business Profile
Set-up or a proper clean-up: categories, services, hours, photos, posts and the details that help you appear in Google Maps and the local pack.
Citations
Your business name, address and phone number checked across the directories that matter, with mismatches fixed so the details agree.
Reviews
A simple, honest way to ask customers who have used you for a review, plus guidance on replying. We do not buy reviews.
Local landing pages
Pages for the services and locations you cover, written for the way people in those areas search. Not a town name swapped into an empty template.
Local on-page SEO
Location signals, internal links and map-friendly content on your own site, so Google can connect your pages with your profile.
Who it's for
Local SEO is for businesses that win work nearby.
You serve a town, city or region
Shops, clinics, trades and professional firms whose next customer is searching 'near me' or for a place name.
You visit customers
Service-area businesses can still appear in Maps without publishing a home address, with pages for the areas you travel to.
Your listing is a mess
Duplicate profiles, old phone numbers, the wrong category or a profile that was never finished.
You have more than one branch
Each location needs its own accurate profile and a page that describes that branch, not one generic page for everywhere.

FAQs
Questions about Local SEO
What is a Google Business Profile?
It is the free listing behind your appearance on Google Maps and in the local pack. It shows your name, category, hours, photos, reviews and how to contact you. A complete, accurate profile is the starting point for local SEO.
What are citations?
Citations are mentions of your business name, address and phone number on other sites, such as directories. When those details match, Google has a clearer reason to trust where you say you are.
Can you get me more Google reviews?
We can set up a simple process for asking people who have already bought from you. We will not buy reviews, or ask anyone to review a business they have not used.
Do I need a separate page for every town I cover?
Only where you genuinely serve that place and have something useful to say about it. Thin pages that swap a town name and nothing else tend to do more harm than good.
I visit customers and work from home. Can local SEO still help?
Yes. A service-area business can use a Google Business Profile without showing a public address, alongside pages that describe the areas you cover.
