Local SEO Consultant

- A competitor with a worse business is outranking you
- Your Google Business Profile exists but isn’t doing much

- You’ve tried SEO before but didn’t see results
If any of that sounds familiar, I’m your man.
How I help local businesses grow
I focus on the parts of local SEO that actually bring in customers.
✔ Google Business Profile optimisation
Your GBP is often the first thing people see. I make sure it’s complete, accurate, and optimised to show up for the right searches.
✔ Local keyword strategy
Targeting the searches your customers are actually making, not just broad terms with no commercial intent.
✔ On-page SEO for local visibility
Optimising your website pages to rank for local searches, including service pages and location pages.
✔ Local citations and directory listings
Getting your business listed consistently across the directories that matter, so Google trusts your information.
✔ Review strategy
More reviews, better reviews, and a process for keeping them coming.
✔ Local link building
Building relevance and authority in your area through local press, directories, and partnerships.

Local SEO Consultant FAQs
What types of local businesses do you work with?
I’ve worked with businesses across healthcare, home services, education, and insurance. If you serve customers in a specific area and want to show up when they search, I can help.
Is local SEO worth it?
If you serve customers in a specific area, yes. Organic visibility in Google Search and Maps means leads that keep coming in without paying for every click. For most local businesses, it is one of the highest-ROI channels over the long term.
Does local SEO still work in 2026?
Yes. Google Search and Maps are still where most people go when they need a local service. The tactics have evolved but the fundamentals, a well-optimised GBP, consistent citations, strong reviews, and relevant on-page content, still drive results.
Who needs local SEO?
Any business that serves customers in a specific geographic area. Clinics, contractors, restaurants, law firms, education consultants, salons — if people search for what you do with a location in mind, local SEO is relevant to you.
Is it worth hiring someone for local SEO or can I do it myself?
You can learn the basics and handle some of it yourself. But local SEO has enough moving parts, GBP management, citation consistency, on-page optimisation, review strategy, link building, that doing it well takes time and experience. Most business owners are better off focusing on running their business.
How much does local SEO cost?
It depends on the scope, your market, and how competitive your industry is. I work with businesses on both project and retainer basis. The best way to get an accurate picture is to get in touch and we can go from there.
How long does local SEO take?
You can see early movement within 4 to 8 weeks, especially with GBP optimisation and citation fixes. Sustained rankings and consistent lead flow usually take 3 to 6 months.
My business serves multiple areas. Can you still help?
Yes. I can help you build visibility across multiple service areas, not just your primary location.
Can you do local SEO without a website?
A website helps, but you can still rank in Google Maps without one. That said, having even a basic site significantly improves your chances of ranking and converting visitors into leads.
