· 1 min read

Claim your Google Business Profile

It is free and drives map and local results. Add accurate hours, phone number, services, photos and your website link.

Keep your details consistent

Use the same business name, phone number and area everywhere: website, social profiles and directories.

Give each service its own page

A page per service with a clear title, description and useful content ranks better than one page covering everything. See how our SEO service approaches this.

Make the site fast and mobile friendly

Most local searches happen on phones. Compress images, keep pages light and make buttons easy to tap.

Ask for reviews

Happy customers can leave a Google review. Reply to each one politely.
