Home / Local SEO services
For businesses that serve customers in a set area, like trades, clinics and shops. From our office in North Shields, we get businesses across Newcastle, North Tyneside and the wider North East into the three map listings that sit above the search results. For most local businesses, that is the highest value thing they can do online.
Work aimed at the map pack.
Both optimised to back each other up.
Content for the towns you cover.
Plain English updates every month.
The three listings at the top are chosen on relevance, distance and prominence. Most businesses are losing on prominence.
No service list, no categories, two photos from 2019 and no posts. Google reads an incomplete profile as a less active business.
Reviews are a ranking factor and a trust factor. A business with 40 recent reviews beats one with 12 from three years ago.
Google checks whether your site supports what the profile claims. No service pages, no location pages, nothing to confirm.
Distance matters, so a business on the edge of a city has to work harder on everything else to appear in searches from the middle.
Two scans of the same business taken across the North East, before we started and after a few months of the monthly work. Every pin is a point on the map, and the number on it is where the business ranked when someone searched from that exact spot.
Monthly work across the three things Google uses to pick those three listings.
Categories, services, hours, attributes, photos and weekly posts. Kept active rather than set up once and forgotten.
A simple system for asking, so reviews arrive steadily, plus replies to every one of them, which Google notices.
A proper page for each town you serve, written rather than duplicated, so you have something to rank in each area.
Your name, address and phone number consistent across the directories that matter, and the inconsistencies cleaned up.
Service pages, schema, internal linking and speed, so the site supports what the profile is claiming.
Tracking that shows where you rank from different points in your patch, not just one average number.
Browse the websites and local SEO we have delivered for businesses across the North East.
When somebody searches for a service near them, Google shows three businesses on a map above everything else. Those three places are what local SEO is competing for, and they are decided on a different set of signals to the blue links underneath.
Where you currently rank across your service area, how your profile compares to the three above you, and what is missing.
Profile, citations, service pages and the technical basics, in the first month.
Location pages, content, posts and reviews, month on month. This is the part that moves you up.
Monthly reporting on rankings by area, calls, direction requests and enquiries.
After 260 builds and a lot of local campaigns, these are the things that consistently work.
Tell us your town and what you do.
We will come back within one working day with a plan and a fixed monthly price.
Each area has a page of its own, written for how people there actually search.
Monthly, with a clear scope and a month of notice.
One town or city. Profile work, location pages, reviews, on page SEO and monthly reporting.
Several towns or a wider patch. More location pages, more content, more ground to cover.
A new website and the monthly local SEO together as one payment. On a 12 month minimum term.
Want to see where you stand first? The free SEO health check shows your current Map Pack position across your area.
A free SEO health check, done by hand rather than spat out by a tool.
Where you rank, what is holding the site back and what to fix first, in plain English.
Nothing to pay and nothing to sign.
Three to six months is typical, quicker in less competitive trades and towns. Profile fixes sometimes move things within weeks.
Yes. The profile and the website support each other, and a profile with nothing behind it struggles against businesses with proper service pages.
That is fine and very common. Service area businesses can rank in the Map Pack, and we set the profile up accordingly.
Yes. We set up a simple way to ask at the right moment, and we reply to every review, which matters more than most people realise.
Yes. Each area gets its own page, written properly, and we track rankings from different points across your patch.
Local SEO is the part aimed at the map and local results. Broader SEO targets terms with no location attached, and most local businesses need the local work first.
Two real local SEO case studies, plus a plain English guide to how local rankings work.
Tell us what you are planning and we will come back within one working day with honest advice and a guide price. No tech speak, no sales pitch.
Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. Based at North Tyneside Business Centre, North Shields.
