Local SEO Consultant
Local SEO consultant helping UK businesses win where it counts — the map pack, Google Business Profile and the local results your customers actually click. Reviews, citations, local landing pages and the technical foundations underneath — all handled directly by me.
Local search is where trust is decided
For most local businesses, the map pack IS the market: three results, decided by proximity, relevance and prominence. Let me be straight about proximity — if someone searches "emergency dentist near me" and you're ten miles down the road, nothing anyone does will put you in front of them. But relevance and prominence can absolutely be engineered, so that when people in your area are looking, it's you they find.
And here's something most people selling local SEO won't tell you: with the right baseline in place, it doesn't need to be an endless retainer. A focused three-month sprint following a proper blueprint — Google Business Profile optimised, reputation and entity signals strengthened, the website structure sorted — gets most local businesses where they need to be. After that, periodic check-ins and acting on what's recommended is usually enough to keep prospering.
My local SEO services cover the whole system: a fully-optimised Google Business Profile, a review engine that keeps proof flowing, consistent citations, genuinely local landing pages, and a website that backs it all up technically.
And with AI results increasingly summarising local recommendations, the businesses with the clearest, most consistent local signals are the ones getting named.
What local SEO covers
Google Business Profile optimisation
Categories, services, attributes, photos, posts and Q&A — maintained as the living asset it is, not a set-and-forget listing.
Google Maps rankings
The relevance and prominence signals that decide the three-pack, systematically strengthened.
Reviews strategy
A sustainable, policy-safe process for earning reviews and responding well — because volume, velocity and sentiment all feed both rankings and AI recommendations.
Citations & consistency
Your name, address and phone, identical everywhere that matters. Boring, foundational, and still regularly broken on sites I audit.
Local landing pages
Genuinely different pages for genuinely different areas and services — never find-and-replace town names.
Service-area businesses
Ranking without a public storefront has its own playbook; I've run it for trades, agencies and service firms.
Local technical foundations
LocalBusiness schema, location signals and site structure that reinforce everything above.
Recruitment agency, London: a decent foundation in one of the UK's most competitive local markets — lifted through technical improvements, entity strengthening and consistent local authority building.
Frequently asked questions
How long does local SEO take to work?
Google Business Profile improvements can move within weeks; map-pack positions in competitive areas build over months as reviews, citations and authority compound. I'll show you movement, not promises.
Do you handle multiple locations?
Yes — multi-location structure, per-location pages and profile management are standard work.
Can you fix a suspended Google Business Profile?
I can diagnose the likely cause and manage the reinstatement process — and more importantly, set the profile up so it doesn't happen again.
Is local SEO still worth it with AI results?
More than ever. AI summaries of best-near-me queries are built from exactly these signals — the businesses that invested in them are the ones being recommended.
