Be clearer to nearby customers

Local SEO

Help people in your area understand what you do and find the right page when they search for it.

The approach

Practical help, clearly scoped.

Good local search work starts with your business, service area and existing website. We look for practical improvements to content, page structure and the information customers see about you online, including in AI-assisted search where relevant.

What customers may see

Local search has its own space.

A location-based search can show nearby businesses alongside a map, before someone reaches the usual website results. The details people see there help them decide whom to contact.

What matters

The essentials, handled well.

01

Start with evidence

We review the site and current search presence before recommending new pages or changes.

02

Make services understandable

Clear service copy and internal links give customers useful answers and help search systems interpret the site.

03

Measure what matters

We agree useful indicators such as qualified enquiries, search visibility and page performance.

What's involved

A clear starting point.

  • An initial review of your site and search presence
  • A prioritised plan for technical and content improvements, including AI search considerations
  • Service and location content only where it adds real value
  • A reporting approach agreed for the work commissioned

AI search & GEO

One SEO plan for changing search habits.

AI-powered answers are changing how people find businesses. We cover that within our SEO work, alongside local search and the pages customers use to make a decision.

How AI search fits into SEO

Common questions

About local seo.

How long does local SEO take?

It depends on your starting point, competition and the work needed. We’ll explain what can be fixed quickly and what needs longer-term monitoring.

Do I need a page for every town?

Usually not. We recommend a local page only when it has distinct, useful information and genuine evidence of your work in that area.

Is AI search or GEO included?

Yes. We consider visibility in AI-assisted answers as part of the same SEO work, not as a separate package. Your proposal will set out the specific priorities and scope.
