Local SEO pricing depends on your location, industry, and the number of locations you want to optimise. Most small businesses invest between £500-£1,500 per month. We offer a free audit so you can see exactly what needs doing before committing to any package.

Most businesses see meaningful improvements within 3-6 months. Google Business Profile optimisation and citation building can show results within weeks. Local rankings for competitive search terms typically take 3-6 months of consistent work to improve significantly.

Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is the free listing that appears in Google Maps and the local map pack when people search for businesses near them. It is often the first thing a potential customer sees about your business, and it directly controls whether you appear in the top three local results.

The map pack is the box showing three local businesses on a map that appears at the top of Google results for local searches. Getting into it requires a well-optimised Google Business Profile, consistent business listings across the web, strong review signals, and location-relevant content on your website.

Reviews are one of the most important local ranking signals. The number of reviews, your average rating, and how recently you received them all influence your position in local search results. Responding to reviews also signals to Google that your business is active and engaged.

Local citations are mentions of your business name, address, and phone number on other websites — directories, review platforms, and industry listings. Consistent citations across the web help Google verify that your business is legitimate and located where you say it is. They are essential for local search visibility.

NAP stands for Name, Address, and Phone number. If these details are inconsistent across different directories and listings — even small differences like 'Street' vs 'St' — it can confuse Google and reduce your local rankings. We audit and correct all your listings to ensure complete consistency.

The most valuable local search terms combine your service with a location — for example, 'accountant in Manchester' or 'Italian restaurant Notting Hill'. We research the exact phrases your potential customers are typing and build your local presence around the ones most likely to bring new business.

More than 60% of local searches happen on mobile devices, and many people search while they are already out and about. This makes local SEO critically important — if your business does not appear in mobile local results, you are invisible to a huge share of potential customers at the moment they are ready to buy.

Local link building means getting links from other websites in your area — local news sites, community organisations, event listings, and business associations. These links from locally relevant websites help Google understand that your business is an authority in your specific geographic area.

Yes — we specialise in multi-location local SEO. Each location gets its own Google Business Profile, its own set of citations, and its own geo-targeted landing page. We make sure each location competes effectively in its local market without cannibalising the others.

We track local rankings for your target search terms across all your locations, monitor your Google Business Profile metrics (views, clicks, direction requests, calls), and report on review velocity and citation health every month. You get a clear picture of what is improving and why.

Local schema markup is structured data code added to your website that tells search engines exactly what your business is, where it is located, what hours you keep, and how to contact you. It helps Google display rich information about your business and is an important trust signal for local rankings.

Google Maps rankings are determined by three factors: relevance (how well your listing matches the search term), distance (how close you are to the searcher), and prominence (how well-known and trusted your business is online). We work on all three — optimising your listing, building citations, and generating reviews.

Yes — this is one of the greatest strengths of local SEO. A well-optimised local presence with strong reviews and a verified Google Business Profile can outrank national brands for local searches. Google prioritises relevance and proximity, which gives local businesses a real advantage.

We recommend creating dedicated landing pages for each location and service area you serve, publishing locally relevant content that answers questions people in your area are asking, and building internal links between your location pages and your main service pages. This signals to Google exactly where you operate and what you offer.

Yes — voice searches like 'find a plumber near me' or 'best coffee shop open now' are overwhelmingly local in nature. Optimising your Google Business Profile, keeping your hours up to date, and targeting conversational search phrases all help your business appear in voice search results.

When someone searches 'restaurant near me', Google uses their location to show the most relevant and prominent local businesses nearby. You cannot target a specific 'near me' phrase — instead, you rank for it by having a complete and optimised Google Business Profile, consistent local citations, strong reviews, and a website that clearly communicates where you operate.
