What is local SEO?
Improving your visibility for location-based searches on Google Search, Google Maps and AI assistants – especially the Map Pack. See what is local SEO.
What is the Google Map Pack?
The block of three businesses shown with a map at the top of local search results. It gets most of the clicks and calls on local searches.
How do you measure results?
With a rank grid across your area, Google Business Profile actions (calls, website clicks, direction requests), Search Console data and enquiries.
How long until I see results?
Often a few weeks for profile fixes; three to six months for strong, stable rankings.
Do you offer contracts?
Monthly plans with 30 days’ notice. No minimum term.
Will you need access to my Google Business Profile?
Yes – manager access, which you grant without sharing your password. You stay the owner.
Do you build websites?
No. We optimise existing websites and can work with your web designer. If your site really holds you back, we will tell you.
Can you get rid of bad reviews?
We can help report reviews that break Google’s policies and help you respond to genuine negative reviews. Nobody can legally remove genuine reviews.
Do you work with businesses outside the UK?
No – we focus only on the UK market.
Why is there no phone number?
We work by email and online meetings. Every enquiry gets a considered written reply within one working day, and we can arrange a call when it helps.
What do I get in the free audit?
A written report covering your Google Business Profile, rank grid, competitors, citations, reviews and website, plus prioritised recommendations.
Do you work with roofers only?
No. Roofing is our heritage, but we work with all kinds of UK local businesses.
