About the service

Driving growth for local businesses

I work with local businesses across a wide range of industries to increase visibility, leads and revenue through targeted local search optimisation.

Using proven frameworks, established SEO tools and hands-on execution, I help businesses rank where it matters most — in Google Maps and local search results — so you attract customers who are ready to buy.

The focus is transparent, ethical strategy that delivers long-term growth, a stronger local presence and a measurable return, rather than short-term tactics that need undoing later.

Local SEO services

Everything you need to rank locally

Local SEO is not about chasing vanity rankings. It is about putting your business in front of customers who are ready to buy.

Google Business Profile optimisation

Your most powerful local asset

Your Google Business Profile is one of your strongest local ranking assets. I optimise it fully — the right categories, services, images and ongoing updates — to maximise visibility in Maps and local results.

Local keyword research & strategy

High-intent service + location terms

I uncover exactly how your customers search for your services by identifying high-intent service and location keywords, so we target terms that drive real enquiries rather than raw traffic.

On-page local SEO

Service pages, metadata & internal linking

Your website is optimised to reinforce local relevance and convert visitors into leads: service page optimisation, location pages where appropriate, metadata improvements and internal linking for stronger local signals.

Google Maps & local pack SEO

Relevance, proximity & trust signals

I focus on the factors that matter most in Maps — relevance, proximity and trust — through consistent business details, behavioural signal optimisation and ongoing refinement.

Citations, reviews & trust signals

Directory listings & review strategy

Local trust plays a major role in both rankings and conversions. I build and clean up local citations, strengthen directory listings and implement a review strategy that improves credibility and confidence.

Conversion optimisation & tracking

Turning visitors into real enquiries

Ranking higher only matters if it drives results. I optimise calls to action, mobile experience and trust elements, and track calls and enquiries, so more visitors become customers.

Local SEO questions

Frequently asked

What is local SEO?

Local SEO is the work that makes a business visible to people searching nearby — in the Google Maps pack, in local search results and on your own location pages. It covers your Google Business Profile, local citations, on-page relevance and the trust signals that make someone choose you.

What is the difference between local SEO and regular SEO?

Regular SEO competes on relevance and authority nationally. Local SEO adds proximity and listing quality to that mix, which means your Google Business Profile, reviews and consistent business details often matter as much as the website itself.

How long does local SEO take?

Google Business Profile and listing improvements can show within four to eight weeks. Website ranking changes typically take three to six months to become clear and stable.

Do you build location pages for service-area businesses?

Where they are genuinely useful, yes. A location page needs real, specific content to earn its place — spinning out dozens of near-identical town pages tends to do more harm than good, so I only recommend them where the demand supports it.

How do you measure local SEO results?

By the things that affect the business: local ranking positions, map pack impressions, calls, direction requests and enquiry volume — reported monthly in plain English alongside the work done.
