Local SEO & Map Pack

Three local results sit above the map and take a huge share of the clicks. Getting into them is a specific job with specific rules — and most of it has nothing to do with your website's blog.

The detail

Google Business Profile, citations, reviews and location pages

Local rankings are driven by relevance, distance and prominence. You cannot move your business, but you can make it dramatically more relevant and more prominent than the competitor two streets away.

We optimise your Google Business Profile properly — primary category, services, attributes, products, photos, Q&A and posts — clean up the citations that contradict each other, set up a review system that actually gets responses, and build location pages that are genuinely useful rather than doorway pages.

You show up in the three-pack for the searches that happen two miles from your door — the ones that turn into phone calls.

Everything included

Full Google Business Profile audit and rebuild
Primary and secondary category testing against local competitors
Services, products, attributes, opening hours and holiday hours
Photo and video strategy, including geotagging guidance
NAP citation audit across 40+ directories, with corrections submitted
Duplicate listing detection and suppression
Review generation system plus response templates
Location landing pages with local schema and genuine local content

Citation clean-up

We find every inconsistent or duplicate listing and fix or suppress it.

Reviews

A simple request flow your team can actually keep up with, plus templates for replying to good and bad reviews.

Location pages

One page per genuine service area, with local proof, embedded map, LocalBusiness schema and internal links.

Questions

About this service

For the map pack, yes — Google needs a verified location, though service-area businesses can hide the address and define a radius instead. If you have no address at all, we focus on organic local rankings rather than the map pack.

Profile and category changes can move things within two to four weeks. Citation and review work compounds over two to three months. Competitive city centres take longer than towns.

We can report reviews that breach Google's policies and we do so with evidence, but nobody can guarantee removal. The more reliable defence is a steady flow of genuine recent reviews.

Only if they are thin copies with the town name swapped. Ours include real projects, real staff, local pricing context and genuinely different content — which is both safer and more persuasive.
