What We Do

What Local SEO Actually Involves

Local SEO is a distinct discipline from national or international SEO. It requires Google Business Profile optimisation, local citation building, map pack rankings, location-specific content, and review management. When someone searches "plumber near me" or "best solicitor in Manchester," local SEO determines whether they find you, or your competitor down the road.

Google Business Profile Optimisation

Your GBP listing is the single most important local SEO asset. We optimise every field, categories, attributes, services, products, photos, posts, and Q&A, and implement an ongoing management strategy that keeps your profile active and competitive.

Google Maps & Local Pack Rankings

Appearing in the map pack drives massive click-through rates. We optimise every factor that influences map rankings, proximity signals, relevance, prominence, reviews, and local authority.

Local Citation Building & Cleanup

Consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) data across directories, industry listings, and data aggregators. We build citations on the platforms that matter and clean up inconsistencies that confuse Google.

Review Strategy & Management

Reviews are a direct ranking factor for local search. We implement review generation strategies, respond to reviews on your behalf, and manage your online reputation across Google, Trustpilot, and industry platforms.

Location-Specific Content

Landing pages targeting "[service] + [location]" queries, local blog content, area guides, and community-focused pages that signal local relevance and capture geographically targeted search traffic.

Local Schema Markup

LocalBusiness, GeoCoordinates, OpeningHoursSpecification, and AggregateRating schema that gives Google explicit structured data about your business location, hours, services, and ratings.

Local SEO Under the Microscope

The local search factors that most agencies overlook.

The Local Pack Algorithm, What Determines Map Rankings

+
Google's local pack rankings are determined by three primary factors: relevance (how well your GBP matches the search query), distance (how close you are to the searcher), and prominence (how well-known your business is online). You can't control distance, but you can heavily influence relevance and prominence. We optimise GBP categories and services for maximum relevance, then build prominence through reviews, citations, local links, and brand mentions. We track rankings across a geographic grid, not just from one location, so you see exactly where you're visible across your entire service area.

Why Reviews Are the Most Underrated Ranking Factor

+
Google has confirmed reviews influence local rankings, both quantity and quality, and how recently they were left. A business with 200 reviews averaging 4.8 stars consistently outranks one with 15 reviews at 5 stars. Recency matters too, a steady stream of new reviews signals your business is active and customers are engaged. We implement structured review generation workflows, monitor all platforms, and respond professionally to every review. Review management isn't just reputation, it's a direct ranking lever.

Multi-Location SEO, Managing Multiple Branches

+
Businesses with multiple locations need individual strategies per branch, separate GBP profiles, location-specific landing pages, independent citation profiles, and individual review strategies. Cross-contamination between locations (inconsistent categories, shared phone numbers, duplicate content) actively harms rankings for all branches. We build and manage individual strategies for each location while maintaining brand consistency. Each branch gets unique content, photos, posts, and review management.

Local Search in the AI Era

+
People increasingly ask AI assistants for local recommendations. These platforms pull answers from Google AI Overviews, web content, and structured data. Businesses with strong local signals, comprehensive GBP profiles, high review scores, location-specific content, and consistent citations, are more likely to be recommended. We ensure your local SEO addresses both traditional map rankings and AI-powered local recommendations.
