Why local search is worth the effort
Search engines weigh proximity heavily for service searches. Someone typing a trade plus a place name is telling the search engine exactly what they want, and businesses that have said clearly where they operate get shown ahead of those that have not.
What actually moves the needle
- Claim and complete your Google Business Profile, with real photographs and accurate hours
- Name the town and the surrounding areas you cover, in normal sentences rather than a list crammed into the footer
- Build a separate page for each service rather than one page listing everything
- Keep your business name, address and phone number written identically everywhere they appear
- Ask every satisfied customer for a review, steadily rather than in bursts
- Make sure the site loads quickly on a phone, which is how most local searches happen
Our local SEO guide goes through all of this in more detail, and the Google Business Profile guide covers the listing step by step. Both are free to read and you are welcome to do it yourself.
