Your neighbours
can't find you.
Let's fix that.

The local pack is where local buying decisions happen

The three businesses shown on the map at the top of a local search take the lion's share of clicks — and calls — because these searchers are actively looking for a nearby provider, right now. Appearing there isn't a bonus; for a local business, it's the whole game.

Getting into and holding those positions comes down to three core levers: a fully optimised Google Business Profile, consistent business information across the web, and a steady stream of genuine reviews. Unlike ads, you don't pay per click — once you're there, you stay.

Your Google Business Profile as an acquisition channel

For many local searches, your profile — not your website — is the first and sometimes only thing a prospect sees before they call. Right categories, real photos, accurate service areas, current hours and regular posts turn it into a lead source in its own right, one most competitors leave half-finished.

Reviews: your strongest trust signal

Google reviews move two things at once: your local ranking and your conversion rate. A business with 50-plus reviews at 4.8 stars earns more clicks and calls than a rival at 4.1 with a handful — even from the same position. I help you build a simple, legitimate system to collect them consistently, no spam or fake tactics.

Local content that ranks across your service area

Beyond the map, your website has to rank for the geo-targeted queries your prospects actually type. Generic pages don't rank locally; specific ones do. I plan and write the city, neighbourhood and service-area pages that position you as the local authority and turn organic traffic into calls and contact requests.

Citations and NAP consistency

Google trusts a business whose name, address and phone number are identical everywhere they appear online. I audit and clean up your citations across directories so your information is consistent — a quiet but meaningful factor in local rankings.

Local SEO and GEO: visibility in Maps and in AI

In 2026, prospects don't only use Google — many ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity "who's the best [service] near me?". If your business isn't in those answers, you're invisible to a fast-growing share of your market. GEO — Generative Engine Optimisation builds the content, authority and brand signals that get you cited by AI while you rank in Maps: two channels, one strategy.

How long local SEO takes to work

Most local businesses see the first measurable gains — better map rankings, more profile views, more calls — within three to four months, with the compound effect building from month six. Unlike ads that stop the moment you stop paying, the positions you earn become a durable asset that keeps producing month after month.
