Be the first name they find
Someone five minutes from your van is searching for your trade right now. Local SEO is the monthly work that puts your name in front of them, and it is included in every FOUND subscription.
How Google picks who to show
Google says it ranks local businesses on three things. Everything we do each month is aimed at one of them.
Relevance
Does your business match what was searched? A dedicated page for each service tells Google exactly what you do, in words it can read.
Distance
How close are you to the person searching? Area pages and a properly set up Google profile show Google every town you cover.
Prominence
How well known and trusted are you? Reviews, a complete profile and a site that keeps growing all build this over time.
The map and the list
A local search shows two sets of results. At the top, a map with three businesses. Underneath, the normal list of websites.
The map results come from your Google Business Profile. The list comes from your website. Most trades have one or the other half done. We look after both.
- Google Business Profile set up, verified and filled in
- Website pages matched to what people actually search
- Name, address and phone number consistent everywhere
What we actually do
Local SEO is not a trick or a switch. It is steady work, done every month, that adds up.
New service pages
One page for boiler repairs, another for boiler servicing, another for landlord certificates. Each one is a new search you can appear for.
New area pages
A real page for each town you work in, written about your work in that place. Not the same page copied twenty times with the name swapped.
Google Business Profile upkeep
Services, opening hours, service areas, photos and posts kept accurate and up to date, so Google trusts the listing.
Speed and technical health
Fast loading, clean code, proper page titles and the behind-the-scenes markup that helps Google understand your business.
The honest timeline
Local SEO builds month on month. This is roughly how it goes for most trades.
- Day one
You tell us about the work
Fifteen minutes on what you do, where you do it and the jobs you want more of.
- Within two weeks
Your site goes live
You see it first. We change anything you are not happy with, then switch it on.
- Months one to three
Google starts to notice
Your profile is filled in, new pages go up, and you begin to appear for your trade in your town.
- Month four onwards
You keep climbing
More services, more areas, more pages. Each month adds to the last, and the calls follow.
Local SEO, in plain English
What is local SEO?
Local SEO is the work that gets a business to show up when someone nearby searches for what it does, such as 'plumber near me' or 'electrician in Stockport'. It covers your website, your Google Business Profile and your reviews.
What is the difference between the map results and the normal results?
The map results are the three businesses Google shows with a map at the top of a local search. They come from your Google Business Profile. The normal results underneath come from your website. We work on both, because being in both is what gets the call.
How long until I show up on Google?
We aim to have your website live within two weeks of getting your details. Climbing Google is slower. Most trades start to see movement for their town and trade in the first one to three months, and it keeps building from there. It depends on your area and how much competition there is.
Do you guarantee I will be top of Google?
No, and nobody honestly can. Google decides the rankings, not us. What we can promise is the work: a properly built site, a complete Google profile and new pages every month, which is what gets trades found.
Do you run Google Ads?
No. FOUND is about the free results: the Google map and the normal listings underneath it. You do not pay per click for those, and the work keeps paying off month after month. If you want to try adverts as well, we will point you to the right guides to get started.
Is there anything I need to do myself?
One thing helps more than anything else: ask every happy customer for a Google review. We give you a one-tap link to send them. Fresh, genuine reviews are one of the strongest signals Google uses for local results.
