Why it matters

Why local SEO matters to local service businesses

Figures from Google's own research on local search.

The basics

What is local SEO?

Local SEO (search engine optimisation) helps local service businesses appear in nearby searches. When someone searches "electrician near me" or "plumber in Leeds", local SEO decides which businesses appear on the map and at the top of the results. Google usually shows three businesses in the Map Pack, followed by local website results, and picks them using a few key signals:

  1. Your Google Business Profile

    A complete listing with services, photos and opening hours.

  2. Reviews

    A steady flow of genuine reviews, with replies.

  3. Consistent details

    The same name, address and phone number across directories.

  4. Local web pages

    Service and location pages that show the areas you serve.

  5. Local links

    Links to your website from other local sites, like directories and trade bodies.

The service

What our local SEO service includes

Every month, we do the same set of jobs to improve your visibility on Google Maps and in local search results. Here is what we do and how we do it:

  • 35-point audit We start by scoring your Google Business Profile, local search presence and website across 35 points. We rank every issue by impact, fix the biggest wins first and track your score as it improves.
  • Google Business Profile posts We keep your profile lively with updates on holiday cover and seasonal services. Customers see a live, up-to-date profile when they find you on the map.
  • Citations built We add your business to directories using the same name, address and phone number every time. Google then sees one consistent business, making you easier to trust.
  • Technical fixes We remove what slows you down by fixing site issues like slow pages and errors that hold your rankings back.
  • One new service or area page each month We give Google more reasons to show you. We write a page for one service or one area you cover, so you can rank for searches like "boiler repair in Leeds".
  • Monthly report We track your progress and provide updates on your rank and lead count, so you can see how our local SEO is delivering results.

FAQs

Local SEO FAQs

Can you rank me in towns where I don't have a physical office?

Often, yes. Google shows businesses that serve an area, not only ones based there. You will usually rank strongest closest to your base, so rankings get harder the further away a town is. We write a new service or area page each month to help you appear in the towns you cover.

How long does it take to rank in the Google Map Pack?

It depends on your competition, how close you are to the searcher and how complete your Google Business Profile is. In a quiet area you can see movement within a few months; in a busy one it takes longer. We cannot promise a spot, but we start by fixing what is holding you back.

I already have a website. Do I need a Google Business Profile?

Yes. Your website and your Google Business Profile do different jobs. Your website ranks in the normal results, and your Google Business Profile is what puts you on Google Maps and in the Map Pack. We check both in your audit. If you do not have one, see our Google Business Profile Setup service.

How long does it take to see results from local SEO?

Local SEO builds over time, so results grow month by month. The audit and technical fixes come first, then the monthly pages, listings and profile posts add up. Your monthly report shows your ranking and leads, so you can see the change as it happens.

What are "citations", and how do you build them?

A citation is a listing of your business name, address and phone number on another website, like a directory. We add you to directories using the same details each time. That tells Google you are one consistent, trustworthy business.

Do you require a long-term contract for local SEO?

No. It is £199 a month, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice.
