Google Business Profile
Claimed, verified, categorised, filled in properly, and kept ticking over with posts and photos.
Local SEO & Google Business Profile
Number one on Google in a week! Only joking — SEO takes months. What it doesn’t take is a thousand pounds a month and a 40-page report nobody reads.
Where the work is
The map pack is the prize
For local services, most of the business goes to the three companies in the map box at the top. That’s decided largely by your Google Business Profile, your reviews and how relevant your site is to the place someone’s searching from.
- Profile claimed, categorised properly and kept active
- Services, areas, hours and photos maintained, not set once and forgotten
- A page for each town you genuinely cover
- Consistent name, address and phone across the directories that matter
- Reviews feeding it constantly — the two work together

What’s actually done
No mystery, no jargon
Service & town pages
Real pages about real work in real places — not one page with fifty town names stuffed at the bottom.
Technical basics
Titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, alt text, schema markup, sitemap, robots, SSL and speed.
Reviews as a ranking signal
The review engine feeds this directly. Steady, recent, genuine reviews move the needle more than most tactics.
Citations & consistency
Your details matching everywhere they appear — mismatched addresses quietly hold profiles back.
A report you can read
Calls, forms and where they came from. One page, plain English, no vanity graphs.
Straight talking
What we won’t promise you
We won’t promise a position, because nobody can. We won’t promise results next month, because local SEO takes three to six. And we won’t sell you SEO at all if your problem is that you’re not answering the phone — we’ll fix that first, because it’s cheaper and it works faster.
Questions
The honest answers
How long before I rank?
For a Google Business Profile that’s been neglected, improvements can show within weeks. For competitive search terms in a city, three to six months of steady work is realistic, and it keeps compounding after that.
Can you guarantee page one?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. Google doesn’t sell positions and no agency controls the algorithm. What we can guarantee is that the work gets done properly and that you’ll see exactly what changed each month.
Should I be doing Google Ads instead?
If you need the phone ringing this week, yes — ads buy you visibility immediately while SEO builds underneath. We offer ads management as an add-on. For most established local businesses the right answer is both, with ads scaling back as the organic side matures.
I cover twelve towns. Do I get twelve pages?
On Growth, we’ll build pages for the towns where you actually want the work, usually the four to eight that matter. Thin duplicate pages for towns you’d never travel to do more harm than good.
