LOCAL SEO · GOOGLE MAPS
Local SEO.Be found by clients in your area.
When a client searches for “your trade + their town”, Google first shows a map and three businesses, then websites. Local SEO places you in both spots: on Google Maps with your profile, and in the results with pages about your area.
01 / THE GOOGLE PROFILEYour shop window on Google Maps.
Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing a client sees. Categories, service area, opening hours, photos, services: every detail counts to appear in the top three map results.
I help you create, fix or restore it, following Google’s rules, which readily suspend poorly configured profiles.
02 / LOCAL PAGESPages about your towns.
To be found in several towns, your site needs a useful page for each: your work in the area, response times, common situations. No copy-paste: Google ignores identical pages where only the town name changes.
These pages are linked to each other and to your services, so Google clearly understands where you work.
03 / TRUSTReviews, consistency and reputation.
Google also ranks businesses by reputation: the number and regularity of reviews, your replies, and the consistency of your name, address and phone number across directories.
I set up a simple way to ask your real clients for reviews and align your information everywhere you appear.
04 / WHAT IS CHECKEDThe points checked.
- Google profile: categories, area, services, photos
- City pages without duplicate content
- Directories: Bing, Apple Maps, local listings
- Same name, address and phone everywhere
- A simple review request for your clients
- Tracking of calls and enquiries
Your questions.
How long to appear on Google Maps?
A well-configured profile can appear within a few weeks. Reaching the top three depends on competition, reviews and distance from the person searching.
I have no premises that receive clients, can I have a profile?
Yes. A business that travels to its clients can have a service-area profile with the address hidden.
Do I need one page per town?
For the main towns in your area, yes, as long as each page brings useful, different information.
Can I buy reviews?
No. It is forbidden by Google and penalised. Only reviews from real clients last.
