Local search plays by different rules.
A useful profile helps a customer answer simple questions: can you do this job, are you open, where do they go, and how do they contact you? We begin with those details and agree who owns each update.
Google describes local results in terms of relevance, distance and prominence. Distance depends on the searcher and cannot be fixed by buying a ranking package. Read Google’s explanation of local ranking.
Before requesting access, we check Google’s eligibility and representation rules. You retain ownership. A mailing address alone does not establish eligibility; an online-only business cannot qualify simply by hiding its address.
- Correct categories, services and opening hours
- Consistent name, address and phone everywhere
- A steady flow of genuine reviews, answered
- Local pages written for real places
What is included
What local SEO management includes.
Everything a customer sees before they ever reach your website, and the pages that back it up.
Google Business Profile management
Categories, services, products, opening hours (including bank holidays), attributes, photos, posts and questions kept accurate and active.
Local landing pages
A proper page for each service and each area you genuinely serve, written for that place, not copied with the town name swapped.
Reviews
A neutral request for every eligible customer, clear ownership of replies, and no incentives or filtering by satisfaction. Our review toolkit prepares materials for you to use.
Citations and consistency
Your name, address and phone number matched across the directories that matter, with duplicates removed. See citation building.
Local links and mentions
Suppliers, associations, sponsorships, local press and community sites, the links a real York business would naturally earn.
Bing and Apple too
Bing Places and Apple Business Connect set up to match, because not every customer uses Google Maps.
Multi-location structure
One consistent framework for businesses with several branches, so each location can rank in its own area.
Reporting
Calls, direction requests and website clicks from your profile, alongside local rankings measured from where your customers actually are.

How it works
What we check, change and report.
Agree the starting point
Confirm eligibility, owner access, genuine service areas and actual opening hours. Record a dated Search Console and profile baseline; identify the searches and locations being checked.
Correct the customer journey
With your approval, fix categories, services, holiday hours and contact destinations. Check the call and website links and keep a dated change log.
Build useful local proof
Add permissioned photos, accurate service pages and relevant listings. Ask customers consistently for honest reviews and agree who replies.
Review business outcomes
Compare like-for-like periods, distinguish profile interactions from qualified enquiries, and decide the next task from booked calls and actual work won.

Questions
Local SEO & Google Business Profile: straight answers.
Something we have not covered? Ask us directly, a person will answer.
What is the map pack?
It is the block of local results with a map that Google shows for searches with local intent, such as “dentist York” or “garage near me”. Appearing there depends on relevance, distance and prominence, and nobody can promise a place in it.
We go to customers rather than having a shop. Can we still rank locally?
Yes. Service-area businesses can hide their address and list the areas they cover. You will usually rank best around your base, and proper pages for each area you serve help further out.
Can you get us ranking in the next town?
Sometimes. Distance matters, so ranking where you are not based is harder, it takes a real page about your work in that town, reviews from customers there and local links. We will tell you honestly where it is realistic.
Google Business Profile is free. Why pay someone to manage it?
The profile is free; keeping it accurate, active and persuasive takes time and judgement. You are paying for that time and for knowing which changes matter.
Do reviews affect local rankings?
Google says review count and rating contribute to local prominence. More importantly, reviews decide whether someone who finds you picks you.
How do you report on local SEO?
Calls, direction requests and website clicks from your profile; local rankings across your service area; and the enquiries each local page produced.
