Local SEO & Google Business Profile.
Being found by nearby customers: an accurate Google Business Profile, consistent business details everywhere, and a site that backs them up.
The problem
For local searches, the Google Business Profile is often seen long before the website. Most are half-filled, miscategorised, or contradict the business's own site — and some should not exist in the form they do.
Our approach
We start with eligibility: Google only lists businesses that meet customers in person during their stated hours, and service-area businesses must hide their address. Then we complete and correct the profile, choose categories that match what you actually sell, connect it to the right pages on your site, and keep the name, number and service area consistent everywhere so the signals agree.

FAQ
Frequently asked.
Can you guarantee we appear in the map pack?
No. Local ranking depends on proximity, relevance and prominence, and Google does not sell placement. We make sure nothing on your side is holding you back.
We work from home. Can we still have a profile?
Often, as a service-area business with the address hidden — if you meet customers in person, at their premises or yours. If you only ever work remotely, a profile may not be allowed, and we will tell you before you spend anything.
Do you manage reviews for us?
We set up a simple way to ask genuine customers for reviews and advise on responding. We do not write reviews, and neither should anyone else.
