What We Do
Local SEO puts your business in front of people who are actively searching for your services in your area. Not cold leads — warm, ready-to-buy customers typing '[your trade] near me' into Google right now.
Dominate the Google Maps 3-pack for your trade and area. When someone searches locally, your business appears with reviews, photos, and a direct call button.
Every page on your site is optimised with targeted keywords, proper heading structure, meta tags, and internal links that help Google understand and rank your content.
We create service pages and location pages targeting the exact keywords your customers use. Each page is a magnet for organic traffic.
We list your business on the directories that matter — Yell, Checkatrade, Thomson Local, and dozens more — with consistent NAP data that boosts your authority.
We optimise your Google Business Profile with the right categories, services, photos, posts, and review management to maximise local visibility.
See exactly where you rank, how much traffic you're getting, and how many leads come from organic search. Real numbers, not fluff.

The Detail
SEO isn't magic — it's a systematic process of making your website the most relevant, authoritative, and trustworthy result for specific search queries.
When someone types 'electrician in Cardiff' or 'emergency plumber near me,' they're expressing a clear intent to hire. They need the service, they need it locally, and they need it now. Local SEO ensures your business appears for these high-intent searches. Unlike social media marketing where you're interrupting someone's scroll, SEO captures demand that already exists. The customer is already looking for you — SEO makes sure they find you.
The top three Google Maps results — known as the 3-pack — receive over 44% of all clicks for local searches. If you're not in the 3-pack, you're invisible to nearly half of potential customers. Getting into the 3-pack requires a combination of proximity, relevance, and prominence. We optimise all three factors: your Google Business Profile relevance, your website authority, and your review quantity and quality.
Every page on your website needs to be optimised for specific keywords. This means unique title tags, meta descriptions, heading structures, and body content that tells Google exactly what the page is about. For trades, this means creating dedicated pages for each service you offer and each area you serve. A plumber in Newport who serves five surrounding towns should have five separate location pages, each optimised for that specific area.
A citation is any online mention of your business name, address, and phone number (NAP). Google uses citations to verify your business is legitimate and located where you say you are. Inconsistent citations — different phone numbers on different directories, old addresses, misspelled business names — confuse Google and hurt your rankings. We audit and fix every citation, then build new ones on high-authority directories.
Google rewards websites that comprehensively cover their topic. A 5-page trade website with 200 words per page signals to Google that you're not an authority. A 30-page site with detailed service descriptions, location pages, FAQs, and helpful guides signals expertise. We create content that serves two purposes: it helps your customers make informed decisions, and it tells Google you're the most authoritative result for your target keywords.
SEO is not instant — it takes 3–6 months to see significant results. But unlike paid advertising, the work compounds. A page you create today will continue ranking and generating traffic for years. Each new piece of content strengthens your entire site. Each new review improves your Maps visibility. Each passing month builds more domain authority. After 12 months, your organic traffic can replace or exceed your entire paid advertising budget.
