Our Local SEO Services

Google Business Profile (GBP) Optimisation
Your Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is one of the most important ranking factors for local search. We optimise your listing with accurate information, engaging descriptions, high-quality images, and ongoing updates to boost visibility in local search and Google Maps.

Local Keyword Research & Strategy
We research and target the keywords local customers are searching for. Whether it’s “plumber near me” or “best coffee shop in [your city],” we find the most valuable keywords to bring in more local traffic.

On-Page Local SEO
We optimise your website to improve local rankings. This includes updating metadata, adding location-specific content, and structuring your site for better user experience and search engine visibility.

Local Citations & Directory Listings
Your business needs to be listed consistently across multiple platforms, such as Yelp, Bing, and industry-specific directories. We ensure your business details are correct across the web, helping boost your credibility and rankings.

Google Maps & Location-Based SEO
Many searches now happen directly in Google Maps. We help you rank higher in map results, ensuring more customers find and contact your business.

Reputation Management & Local Reviews
Customer reviews are a major ranking factor for local search. We help you generate more positive reviews and manage your online reputation, improving trust and encouraging more customers to choose your business.

Backlink Building for Local Authority
Local backlinks from reputable websites boost your credibility in Google’s eyes. We secure high-quality, location-relevant backlinks to help improve your domain authority and search rankings.
