Local SEO for small businesses
Help the people who are searching for what you do, in your town, find your business instead of a competitor. Honest groundwork, no ranking guarantees.
What local SEO actually is
When someone searches for a plumber, a salon or a coffee shop near them, Google decides which businesses to show based on relevance, distance and how well known and trusted the business appears. You cannot control distance, but you can control a great deal of the rest.
Local SEO is the set of things that make your business clearly relevant, easy for Google to understand and easy for customers to trust.
What we set up on your website
Clear page titles and descriptions written for the searches your customers make. Your business name, service area, hours and contact details marked up so search engines read them correctly. Pages that load quickly and work on phones, since both matter for ranking and for customers. A page for each main service, and where it makes sense, for each town you serve.
What happens off your website
Much of local search runs through your Google Business Profile, your reviews and how consistently your name, address and phone number appear around the web. We walk you through setting up and keeping your profile accurate, and explain how to ask happy customers for reviews. If you work from home, a service-area setup lets you hide your street address from the public.
What we do not promise
Nobody can honestly guarantee a first-page ranking. Results usually take weeks to months and depend on competition in your town. What we can promise is that the foundations are right, so every month you are in business works in your favor.

Common questions
How long does local SEO take to work?
Usually weeks to a few months to see movement, and longer in competitive towns. New businesses and new websites take the longest because Google has no history with them yet.
Do you guarantee a number one ranking?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. Rankings depend on competition, reviews and many factors outside any studio's control. We guarantee that your site is built correctly for search.
Do I need a Google Business Profile?
For a local business, yes. It is often what appears first for "near me" searches. It is free, and we explain how to set it up and keep it current.
Can I do local SEO if I work from home?
Yes. Google lets service-area businesses hide their street address and show the area they serve instead. We explain how that works in our Google Business Profile guide.
