Why local SEO is its own discipline
The local pack runs on different rules than organic search
Google's local ranking algorithm weighs relevance, distance, and prominence, a completely different signal set from standard organic ranking. A site can rank #1 organically nationwide and still be invisible in the local pack because its Google Business Profile is incomplete or its citations are inconsistent across the web.
We treat local SEO as its own workstream: profile optimisation, citation consistency, and review velocity, run alongside, not instead of, your broader SEO strategy.

FAQ
Common questions about local SEO
Local SEO optimises your visibility for location-based searches, Google's local pack (the map plus 3 listings shown for local queries), and "near me" searches. If you have a physical location, service area, or sell to a regional market, local SEO directly affects whether you show up when nearby buyers search for what you offer.
Google's local ranking factors are relevance, distance, and prominence. We optimise relevance (accurate categories, complete service descriptions, regular posts), prominence (review volume and quality, citation consistency, backlink authority), and ensure your profile is fully verified and complete, since incomplete profiles are deprioritised regardless of other signals.
Each location gets its own Google Business Profile and a dedicated location page on your website with unique, locally-relevant content, not a templated page swapping out the city name. We manage citation consistency across every location and build a scalable process for adding new locations without diluting existing rankings.
Review volume, recency, and rating are direct inputs to Google's local ranking algorithm, and review content itself (mentioning services, locations) reinforces relevance signals. We set up systematic, compliant review generation workflows and respond to every review, since response rate is also a factor Google considers.
