Local SEO Packages

My local SEO service was created to help small local businesses gain online visibility and attract more customers. The service will help rank your business in local listings (Map pack) and your organic listing for local-based searches.

Local listing example: ‘London Plumbers’

Local SEO Ranking Factors

Local SEO ranking factors are critical for achieving high visibility in the SERP map pack. Relevance is a key factor in determining how closely a business’s information matches the user’s search query. For instance, a bakery will rank higher for a search like “best bakery near me” if its content and keywords align well with this search query.

Distance is another important factor, as the proximity of the business to the user’s location heavily influences rankings; the closer the business, the more likely it will appear in the local pack. Prominence refers to how well-known a business is, which can be enhanced through positive reviews, quality backlinks, and a strong brand reputation. You can track your local rankings by proximity – the better your local SEO, the further away you will rank from your business premises.

NAP consistency, which stands for Name, Address, and Phone number, ensures that the business’s contact information is uniform across all online directories and platforms, reinforcing credibility and trustworthiness.

Finally, on-page signals, such as optimized content, local keywords, and structured data, contribute to better visibility and relevance in local search results. Together, these factors enhance a business’s chances of appearing prominently in local search results and driving more traffic and potential customers.

Local SEO Packages FAQs

Does the service have to be by Direct Debit?

Yes, I’m afraid so.  I usually work with big brands and do not have time to chase clients for payments as I am freelance.

Is there a contract for the packages?

No.  You are free to cancel at any time.

How long will it take to see improvements in my local rankings?

I advise 6 months – 1 year, depending on how competitive your niche is.

Should I keep paying Yell?

No, they are a rip-off! Unless you are getting lots of leads from them.

I run a brand with multiple locations. Can you help me with that?

Yes, see the testimonial above. Please contact me directly.

Do you only do local SEO for the UK?

No, I can do local seo in any country worldwide.

Can you build me a website to target local?

Yes sure. Just let me know your requirements, and I will give you a quote.

Do you have examples of your local SEO work?

Yes, search for a ‘Newcastle SEO consultant’!  You can also search ‘private maths tuition’ to see my above client ranking in all UK cities.
