Local SEO & Google visibility

Local SEO services that get you found before your competitor is.

Someone types “plumber near me” at nine at night, taps one of the top three results, and that business gets the job. Local SEO is the work of making you one of those three, on Google Maps and in regular search, without an ad budget attached to it.

Month to month. First results typically in four to eight weeks.

The problem it fixes

People search for your trade nearby and find someone else.

That’s the whole problem in one sentence, and it’s the most common thing we hear on a first call. You’re good at the work. You just don’t show up when someone nearby is actively looking for it, which means the job goes to whoever Google decided to show instead of whoever would have actually done the better work.

Why this, specifically

You don’t need to outspend anyone to win this

Most local searches aren’t decided by who paid the most. They’re decided by who Google trusts the most to be close, open, and good at what they do. That’s genuinely good news for a small business: it’s one of the few marketing channels where a well-run local shop can regularly outrank a much bigger competitor, just by having its basics in order.

How we do it

From first call to first calls

  1. Step 1: We audit what’s actually there

    Your Google Business Profile, your site, your competitors in the map pack. Free, and yours to keep either way.

  2. Step 2: We fix the profile and the basics

    Hours, categories, service areas, photos, citations. The unglamorous stuff that moves the needle fastest.

  3. Step 3: We build out the pages that matter

    Service pages and town pages written the way customers actually search, not the way your industry talks internally.

  4. Step 4: We track it and keep adjusting

    A short monthly note on where you rank, what changed, and what we’re doing differently next month.

Common questions

Before you call

If yours isn’t here, ring us and ask. We’d rather answer it now than after you’ve signed something.

How long until I actually rank higher?
Reviews and your Google profile can show movement within weeks. Real ranking changes for competitive search terms usually take one to three months, depending on your trade, your town, and how much competition you’re up against.
Do I need a new website for this to work?
Not always. Sometimes it’s a handful of page fixes rather than a rebuild. We’ll tell you which one you actually need, not the one that pays us more.
What if I serve more than one town?
That’s exactly what the town-page work above is for. One page trying to rank everywhere usually ranks nowhere well.
Is local SEO different from running Google Ads?
Yes. Ads stop the moment you stop paying. This compounds. A page ranking well in month six is usually still ranking well in month twelve, with no ongoing ad spend attached to it.
What do you need from me each month?
Mostly just photos from the job and a heads up if you’re fully booked or running a promotion. We handle the rest.
