Local SEO
Get found by people nearby.
Most local customers find you on Google Maps or in the first few results. I help small businesses show up there, starting with the things that make the biggest difference.
What actually makes a difference
Google ranks local businesses on three things: how relevant you are to the search, how close you are to the person searching, and how well known you are. You can't move your premises, but you can make sure Google understands exactly what you do and where, and that people can see you're trusted.
What I do
- Set up or tidy your Google Business Profile: categories, services, areas covered, photos and opening hours
- Make sure your business name, address and phone number match everywhere they appear online
- Make it clear on your website which services you offer and which towns you cover
- Set up Google Search Console, so you can see what people search to find you
- Make it easy for happy customers to leave you a Google review
You don't need a new website
If your site is in decent shape, I'll work with what you've got. If it's holding you back, I'll tell you, and explain why.
Honest about results
Nobody can promise you the top spot on Google, and you should be wary of anyone who does. What I can promise is that the basics get done properly, which is more than most of your competitors have done.

Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer here? Send me a message and I'll get back to you.
Do I need a Google Business Profile?
If you serve customers locally, yes. It's free, and it's what shows up in Google Maps and the map results at the top of local searches.
I work from home. Can I still show up on Google Maps?
Yes. You can set your profile up as a service-area business, which hides your address and shows the areas you cover instead.
How long does it take to see results?
Fixing your profile and details can make a difference within weeks. Overtaking established competitors takes longer, usually months, depending on your trade and area.
