Getting found locally on Google
For most small businesses, being found by someone a few miles away is worth more than any national ranking you could realistically achieve. This is what we do to make that happen — and what it costs.
The Google Business Profile comes first
For local searches, the map results on Google matter more than your website ranking. Getting your profile claimed, completed properly, and populated with real photographs and genuine reviews is the single highest-return thing a local business can do online.
Consistency everywhere you're listed
Your name, number and address need to match wherever they appear — directories, social accounts, old listings, printed material someone typed in years ago. Inconsistent details across the web are one of the most common reasons local rankings stay low.
Pages for the towns you actually cover
If you work across Canterbury, Whitstable and Herne Bay, those are three different searches with different intent. We build honest pages for each — genuinely useful, naming what you do in that area, not the same paragraph with the town name swapped.
Common questions
- How long does local SEO take to show results?
- Profile improvements can move within a few weeks. Broader local search results typically take a few months, and meaningful traffic changes take longer. Anyone promising page one next week is telling you something untrue.
- Can you guarantee a position in the maps?
- No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Local map results depend on your profile, genuine reviews and how close you are to the person searching. We can improve all three; nobody can buy a position.
