Local SEO

When someone nearby needs you, be the one they call.

Found on Google Maps for the searches worth most, and chosen when people compare. Your Google Business Profile and everything behind it, kept right every month.

The short list

Three on the map. One gets the call.

Someone nearby compares them at a glance and taps one. Most owners know their listing is there. Few know how much it brings in.

  • Reviews read on the spot
  • Chosen before your website is seen
  • Calls, straight from the listing
  • Directions to your door
  • A booking in a tap
  • Found from the next town

Every one of them was already searching for what you do. That’s why the listing comes first.

Losses nobody sees

The customers you lose never show up in your numbers.

Nobody tells you they picked someone else. Each one was nearby and ready to book, until the map sent them somewhere else.

  • The search worth most

    First for “dentist”, nowhere for “dental implants”. She wanted work worth thousands, and booked it with someone else.

  • Reviews that went quiet

    A 4.9, and nothing new in two years. Beside a practice reviewed last week, she went there.

  • Hours that were wrong

    The listing said open. She drove over on the holiday to a locked door.

  • The town next door

    You treat patients from a town nearby. Search from there, and you’re not among the three.

Every business

“Near me” means something different in every business.

The same two words carry another reason each time, and what wins the call changes with it.

Dental

Audiology

Ophthalmology

Chiropractic

Home Care

Family Law

The profile

A Google profile that’s hard to scroll past.

Every part of it answers something people want to know before they call.

What gets it picked

  1. The work you want, by name

    Every service listed, so it shows for implants, not only for “dentist”.

  2. Photos of the real place

    Recent ones, so it looks the way it does today.

  3. Something new on it

    An offer, a new service or a post, so it never looks left alone.

  4. Their questions, answered on it

    “Taking new patients?” “Is there parking?” Answered before anyone has to call.

Found for the right searches, and picked when it’s found.

Everywhere they ask

Wherever they ask, you’re there.

Not everyone asks Google. Some ask Apple Maps, Yelp or an AI, and each one gives your hours and number. One that’s wrong sends someone to a closed door.

  1. 01Every map and directory claimedApple Maps, Bing, Yelp, Facebook: claimed, filled in and kept current.
  2. 02Your website saying it tooYour address, hours and the area you cover, the same as everywhere else.
  3. 03Reviews coming inRecent ones, on the profiles people check before they call.

Every month

Set up once, a profile stands still. Run every month, it grows.

The same practice a year on: what people find when they open it, and the calls it brings.

A year on

Set up once

Right on the day it was finished. Then the same photos, a review months old, and the calls it always got.

A year on

Run every month

Added to every month, with every customer asked for a review. It shows up more, and it gets called more.

Around you

Found in the towns around you, not only where you are.

For businesses that serve more than one town, or go out to their customers.

  1. 01A page for each town worth itWritten for that place, with its own work and reviews.
  2. 02Each location, its own profileAnd its own page, so each one is found where it is.
  3. 03Service areas set rightThe towns you go to, on the profile and on the site.

Map to booking

Being found is the start.

What a call is worth depends on what happens next.

How we work

What owners say about working with us.

Questions owners ask about local search.

Why isn’t my business showing on Google Maps?

Most often the profile isn’t verified, was suspended, or has the wrong category or address. If it’s live but buried, Google is weighing how well you match the search, how close you are and how established you look online. All but distance can be worked on.

How do I rank higher on Google Maps?

A complete profile in the right categories, a steady flow of new reviews, photos and updates that show you’re active, and a website with a page for each service and area. Rankings move with all of them together, kept up every month.

How long does it take to show up on Google Maps?

A newly verified profile usually appears within days. Moving up for the searches that bring customers takes longer: often a few months of steady work, more where competitors are strong.

Can I show up in towns where I don’t have an office?

Yes, though it’s harder than in your own town. A business that travels to its customers can set the areas it serves, and pages for those towns, with work and reviews from there, give Google a reason to show you.

Local SEO or SEO: which do I need?

Local SEO wins the map and the “near me” searches, where most service customers start. SEO wins the wider searches, for each service and question, through your website’s pages. Most local businesses need the first, with the second growing behind it.
