The Local SEO Scorecard
Eight questions show what's holding you back in local search.
Try it nowGoogle is skipping your business.
You do good work. Your customers love you. But when someone nearby searches for your trade, Google shows a competitor.
Google picks local results on three things: relevance, distance and prominence. Your shop location is fixed. But relevance and prominence come from signals you control, and most owners never see which ones are missing.
So you guess. You post a photo. You ask for a review. Nothing changes.
You're tired of guessing what Google wants.
Good work shouldn't lose jobs to a Google mystery.

What changes when Google picks you
Without local SEO
Competitors take the map spots. You keep paying for shared leads. Every month, the gap grows.
With local SEO
- Your calendar fills from your own Google profile.
- You stop buying leads and own where your calls come from.
- You decide what's next. More trucks. A bigger crew. A day off.
Questions owners ask
What are local SEO services?
Local SEO services help a business appear when nearby customers search for its services, especially in the Google map results. The work covers the Google profile, matching listings, local website pages, reviews and local mentions.
How does Google rank local businesses?
Google says local results are based on relevance, distance and prominence. Relevance comes from how well your profile and website match the search. Prominence comes from reviews, mentions and how well known your business is.
How long does local SEO take?
Profile fixes often show results first. Listings, local pages and reviews build over several months. Consistency matters more than any single change.
Do you guarantee a top 3 map ranking?
No one controls Google's rankings. We build every signal Google lists as a ranking factor, so your business gives Google the most reasons to show you.
Do I need a website for local SEO?
A website helps a lot. Local pages for each service and town give Google more reasons to show you, and AI tools quote business websites more than any other local source.

Cost depends on how many locations, services and towns we cover. Start with the free grade, and we'll share pricing on your free systems call.
