Local search and maps

When someone nearby searches for what you offer, three businesses appear on the map. Local SEO is the work of making yours one of them, and proving it with numbers.

Who this is for

  • Businesses that depend on customers within a city or a few neighbourhoods
  • Multi-branch businesses that need each location to rank for its own area
  • Companies that rank on the map but not in the normal results, or the other way round

What we do

Keyword and area research

We find the searches that bring paying customers, by service and by neighbourhood, including the wording people really use, not the wording we would like them to use.

On-page local SEO

Service pages, location pages, titles, headings, internal links and local schema so search engines understand what you do and where.

Citations and consistency

Your name, address and phone number listed identically across the directories and maps that matter, with duplicates and old details removed.

Local links and mentions

Relevant local sources that point to you, such as partners, associations, local press and community pages.

Rank tracking by location

We track where you appear from different points in your city, not one average number, so you see where you win and where you do not.
