The Basics
What Is Local SEO & Why Does It Matter?
Local SEO is the process of optimising your online presence so your business appears when nearby customers search for the products or services you offer. When someone types “plumber near me”, “best dentist in London”, or “Italian restaurant Canary Wharf” — Local SEO is what determines whether your business shows up or gets buried.
86% of local businesses are found through search engines. 76% of local searches result in a phone call. If you’re not showing up in the top three results or on Google Maps, you’re losing customers to your competitors every single day — even if you’re the best option in your area.
Google Maps Ranking
Appear in the Google Maps “Local Pack” — the three highlighted results that get 44% of all local clicks.
Local Search Visibility
Rank for “near me” and geo-targeted searches that bring in customers who are ready to buy right now.
Google Business Profile
Fully optimised Google Business Profile with reviews, posts, and accurate information that builds instant trust.
AI & Voice Search
Appear when customers ask Siri, Alexa, or ChatGPT for local recommendations — the fastest-growing segment of local search.

FAQ
Local SEO Questions, Answered.
How long does local SEO take to show results?
Most local SEO campaigns show measurable improvements within 60–90 days, with significant results in 3–6 months. Local SEO typically moves faster than national SEO because competition is more contained. I’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific market.
What’s the difference between Local SEO and regular SEO?
Regular SEO targets broad national or global keywords. Local SEO focuses specifically on geo-targeted searches, Google Maps rankings, and “near me” queries. It involves additional elements like Google Business Profile optimisation, local citations, and location-specific content.
Do I need a website for Local SEO to work?
A website significantly improves results, but it’s not strictly required. I can get you ranking on Google Maps and in local search using your Google Business Profile alone. That said, a well-optimised website dramatically increases your local visibility and conversion rate.
How much does Local SEO cost in London?
Costs vary depending on your industry, competition level, and target area. Local SEO is significantly more affordable than national campaigns. The best way to get an accurate figure is a free audit — I’ll review your current position and give you a transparent recommendation with no obligation.
Can you get my business appearing in AI search results?
Yes. Using AEO and AI Search strategies alongside local SEO, I position your business to appear in AI-generated local answers on ChatGPT, Gemini, and voice assistants. This is a rapidly growing area — businesses that optimise for it now will have a significant advantage.
Your customers are searching locally right now. Are you showing up?
Every day you’re not in the Google Maps top 3 is a day your competitors are taking calls that should be going to you. Let’s fix that.
