More of the right people finding you first.
Local SEO is the work that helps a business show up when someone nearby searches for what it does: “accountant Bournemouth”, “roofer near me”, “best brunch in Poole”. Google answers those searches with a map of three businesses and a list of websites, and more and more people also ask ChatGPT or Gemini for a recommendation.
Three things decide who gets picked: how complete and active your Google Business Profile is, whether your website clearly says what you do and where, and how many good reviews people can see. We work on all three, every month, and tell you in plain English what we did and what moved. We never promise a ranking position, because nobody can honestly guarantee one.
What we do each month
The work that turns searches into enquiries.
01
Google Business Profile
Set up or cleaned up, then kept active: categories, services, service area, photos, posts and replies to reviews.
02
Pages that answer searches
One page improved every month: clearer titles, a service or town page, prices, FAQs and proof where buyers look for them.
03
Reviews and trust
A simple review link and wording to send customers, and reviews shown on your site where they help people decide.
04
Ready for AI answers
Clear facts, prices and structured data, so ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity can describe and recommend you accurately.

Questions
Local SEO, answered.
How long does local SEO take to work?
Fixes to your Google Business Profile and page titles can show within a few weeks. New pages and reviews usually take two to four months to settle in. We report every month, so you can see what is moving.
Can you guarantee first place on Google?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Google decides rankings. What we can do is fix the things that hold you back and show you, month by month, what changed.
Do I need a shop or office to appear on Google Maps?
No. Service businesses that visit customers, or work online, can set up a Google Business Profile with the address hidden and list the towns they cover.
Do you work outside Dorset?
Yes. We’re based in Dorset and work with businesses in Bournemouth, Poole, Hampshire, London and the rest of the UK, all by email and video call.
Is local SEO worth it for a small business?
Usually, if your customers come from a particular area and search before they buy. Work out what one extra customer a month is worth to you and compare it with the plan. If local search isn’t where your customers come from, the free audit will say so, and we’ll suggest something else or nothing at all.
