What local SEO actually is

Local SEO is two things working together: Google Business Profile (Map Pack rankings) and localised on-site SEO (organic results below the Map Pack). Most agencies do one or the other. We do both properly.

70%+ of local queries end at the Map Pack. If your business isn’t in the top 3 there, you’re invisible for the searches that drive real calls and enquiries.

We currently manage 30+ Google Business Profiles across the UK, with 50+ in top-3 Map Pack positions across categories.
