Local SEO

Local search behaves differently from national search. A query like tree care service returns a completely different set of results depending on where the person is standing.

It gets finer with more than one location. Each one needs its own page, and those pages must not be copies of each other.

What Local SEO Covers

Location pages

A separate and genuinely different page for each service area. Swapping the city name into the same text appears to work at first and is later treated as thin content.

Consistent business details

Address, phone number and opening hours have to match exactly across the site, maps and directories. Inconsistency leaves the search engine unable to decide which is right, so it trusts neither.

Structured data

Marking up business type, service area and opening hours in a machine readable form. What is marked up has to be visible on the page as well, otherwise it does nothing.

Content for local intent

Regional questions need regional answers. Tree care in a desert climate is not the same work as tree care in a temperate one, and the person searching knows that.

How We Work

  • We look at which searches actually bring customers rather than which have the highest volume.
  • We do not duplicate location pages, each one gets its own writing.
  • Everything we mark up is visible on the page.
  • We measure by enquiries received, not by ranking position alone.

Projects Where We Did This

Frequently Asked Questions

As many places as you genuinely serve. A page for an area you do not travel to disappoints the visitor who lands on it, and over time it drags down the value of all of them.

Competition in local search is usually lower than national, so movement tends to show earlier. Even so we are talking months rather than weeks. If an offer promises otherwise, read carefully what is actually being promised.

A map listing works on its own, but conversion stays weak without a site. People usually find you on the map and then check the site. If there is no answer there, they move to the next result.
