Local SEO Services That Get You Found By Local Customers
I help local service businesses rank in Google Maps, the local pack and organic search , so the customers searching for what you do in your area find you first, not your competitors.
The Problems Most Local Businesses Face
If any of these sound familiar, you're not alone , and they're all fixable with the right system.
Invisible in Google Maps
Customers search 'plumber near me' or '[your service] [town]' and your business doesn't appear. That's enquiries going straight to competitors.
Outdated Google Business Profile
Wrong hours, no photos, no posts, hardly any reviews. Google rewards active, complete profiles , and ignores neglected ones.
No local landing pages
Your website covers your services in general but doesn't target the specific towns and areas you serve.
Few or no reviews
Reviews are one of the biggest local ranking factors. Without a steady flow, you'll struggle to compete.
No tracking
You can't tell how many calls and clicks your Google Profile is actually generating , so you can't improve it.
Wrong / inconsistent business info
Your name, address and phone number aren't consistent across the web , which confuses Google and tanks rankings.
My Local SEO System
Everything I do is built around one goal: more qualified enquiries for your business.
I focus on your most valuable, high-intent searches, such as “accountant for small business Stockport” or “employment solicitor Stockport”: people looking for a firm or specialist they can engage now, rather than researching a general topic. I map those searches to the services you most want to grow, so the priority is relevant enquiries, not traffic for its own sake.
- Full Google Business Profile optimisation , categories, services, photos, posts, Q&A
- Local landing pages targeting every town/area you serve
- On-page SEO so each service and area page ranks for the right searches
- Citation building and consistency across local directories
- Review generation system to bring in steady 5-star reviews
- Monthly reporting on rankings, calls, clicks and direction requests

What You Can Expect
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does local SEO take to work?+
Most local businesses see meaningful improvements in the Map Pack and local rankings within 1–3 months. Competitive areas and trades can take longer , I'll give you an honest estimate up front.
What's the difference between local SEO and regular SEO?+
Local SEO focuses on ranking in Google Maps and for searches with local intent ('plumber near me', 'electrician Bangor'). Regular SEO targets broader, often national keywords. For most local service businesses, local SEO is where the money is.
Do I need a new website for local SEO to work?+
Not always. If your site is reasonably modern and fast, I can optimise it. If it's old, slow or poorly built, a redesign usually pays for itself quickly through better rankings and conversions.
How much does local SEO cost?+
Foundation is £500/month with no setup fee for visibility only, with no automations. Growth is £850/month with no setup fee for wider Google visibility and instant acknowledgements.

Can you guarantee top rankings?+
No honest SEO can guarantee specific rankings , Google's algorithm is out of anyone's control. What I can guarantee is a properly executed system and clear monthly reporting on the metrics that actually drive enquiries.
