Common Questions
How long until I rank in the local pack?
Most businesses see improvements within 4-8 weeks. Local pack rankings depend on your Google Business Profile optimisation, reviews, citations, and proximity to the searcher. We typically see clients break into the top 3 within 2-3 months.
Do I need a physical location?
Yes, for most local businesses. Google requires a physical address to verify your business. Service area businesses (like plumbers or electricians) can hide their address and show service areas instead. We'll help you set this up correctly.
How do you get more reviews?
We create a review generation system that makes it easy for happy customers to leave reviews. This includes automated follow-up emails, QR codes, and direct review links. We also help you respond to all reviews professionally to encourage more.
What are local citations?
Citations are mentions of your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) on other websites like directories, review sites, and local business listings. Consistent citations across the web help Google verify your business and improve local rankings.
How much does local SEO cost?
Local SEO packages start at $599/month and include Google Business Profile optimisation, citation building, review management, and monthly reporting. The investment typically pays for itself within 2-3 months through increased calls and customers.
