The searches closest to a booked job

Someone searching "boiler repair Stockport" usually needs the job done soon. Local SEO is how your business shows up for those searches, in the map and in the results below it. As a local SEO agency, we work on your Google Business Profile, your reviews and a page for each town you cover.

What local SEO wins

Four places a local search can show you

Type a job and a town into Google and you get more than a list of links. Each of these is won in a different way. A business can appear in one and be missing from the rest.

  1. 01

    The map

    The three businesses shown on the map. It depends on a complete Google Business Profile, a steady flow of reviews and a website that matches what the profile says.

  2. 02

    The local results

    The normal results under the map, sorted by place. It depends on having a page for that town, written in full, with details that are true of that town.

  3. 03

    "Near me" searches

    Searches with "near me" in them depend on where the person is. Your profile and your pages need to agree on the areas you cover, so Google knows where to show you.

  4. 04

    AI answers

    The AI answer above the results often names local businesses. Clear town pages that state the service and the area give it something to quote.

FAQs

Local SEO questions we get asked

It's the work that gets your business shown for searches with a place in them, like "plumber in Bolton" or "hearing test near me". That covers the map, the local results and, more and more, AI answers. The main parts are your Google Business Profile, your reviews and your town pages.

Start with a complete Google Business Profile in the right category, with real photos. Then keep reviews coming in and reply to each one. Your website also needs pages that match the towns and services on your profile.

Only for towns where people are searching for what you do. We check the searches before building a page, so you don't pay for pages nobody will find.

Ask every customer, at the right moment, in a way that takes them seconds. Our CRM service can send a review request automatically after each job.

The free SEO audit comes first. Your quote then gives a monthly cost, based mainly on how many towns you cover.
