What is local SEO?

Local SEO helps your business appear when people nearby search for what you offer. When someone types "plumber near me" or "dentist Maidstone" into Google, local SEO is what determines whether they find you — or your competitor.

It's not about tricks or gaming the system. It's about making sure Google understands who you are, where you are, and what you do.

Why local SEO matters for tradespeople

Emergency calls

When someone's boiler breaks or their lights go out, they search "plumber near me" or "electrician [your town]" — not your company name.

Google Maps

Most customers find tradespeople through Google Maps — if you're not there, they'll call your competitor instead.

Your customers aren't searching for your business name — they're searching for "plumber Maidstone" or "electrician near me". If you're not showing up for those searches, you're missing out on the jobs that go to your competitors.

FAQ

SEO questions answered

Straight answers. No jargon.

How long does SEO take to work?

Most businesses see early improvements within 2–3 months; meaningful results usually take 3–6 months. SEO is cumulative—the work builds over time. We'll set clear expectations at the start and keep you updated with simple reports so you can see the progress.

Do I need a website for local SEO?

A website helps a lot—it gives Google more to work with and somewhere to send searchers. Your Google Business Profile can do some of the heavy lifting on its own, but a well-optimised website strengthens your presence and often improves how you rank locally. If you don't have a site yet, we can talk through the options.

What's the difference between SEO and Google Ads?

SEO is organic: you improve your visibility over time and don't pay per click. Google Ads is paid: you bid on keywords and pay when people click. SEO takes longer to show results but can keep working for you; Ads can bring traffic immediately. Many businesses use both—we can help you decide what makes sense for yours.

Can you guarantee #1 rankings?

No. Nobody can guarantee specific rankings—Google's algorithm changes often, and competitors are always in the mix. What we do is work consistently to improve your visibility using solid, sustainable methods. We focus on more enquiries and more visibility, not a single number.

How do I get more Google reviews?

Ask satisfied customers to leave a review—in person, by email, or by text—and make it easy with a direct link to your Google review form. Respond to reviews, good and bad, in a professional way. We never buy reviews or use incentives that break Google's rules; that can backfire. We can help you set up a simple process that works.
