Local SEO Services
Attract local customers with a Local SEO Campaign. Engage more customers within proximity of your business & generate more sales and enquiries.
Boost Your Local Organic Visibility
Local search engine optimisation involves bespoke SEO techniques that focus on enhancing your website & brands association with a geotargeted audience. Local SEO is essential for businesses looking to attract more relevant traffic and potential buying customers within a radius of the businesses trading location.
Local SEO effectively drives up organic rankings for queries searched for by people within the locality. This means traffic is likely to be of much higher quality with a closer intent to filling out your enquiry form or buying products from your website.
Being localised, the range of competition is likely to be much smaller than that of general SEO campaigns that focus on nationwide areas.

How Does Local SEO Work?
Local SEO is exactly what it says on the tin, it’s the process of search engine optimisation condensed down to a much smaller area.
With a more location-centric approach, it’s easier to identify search terms being used by people within your trading town / city. This is important as it’s key to hone in on keywords being searched for that are related to your business, service or product.
Whether potential customers search for something “near me” or whether they place emphasis on a specific area, borough or post code – it’s important for your website to rank prominently in both normal search results and also within Google Map Listings.
Even with Local SEO being concentrated on a smaller geographic area, the same ranking challenges exist – therefore Local SEO or nationwide, the strategies are usually the same, just on a smaller scale.
Local search has evolved so that people get more relevant results from wherever they may be searching from and from which device they may be using be it a desktop, laptop or phone.
As the world shifts to digital search & buyers head online to do their shopping and service procurement, there has never been a more important time to rank locally.
That’s where these services come in – to make your website perform better in local search results.

Local SEO Rank Factors
Whilst there are no FIXED ranking factors (As they do vary depending on niche and keyword) the general consensus is that links, brand signals and trust, on page signals, citations and review performance are the most weighted factors that will dictate how well a website can rank.
Links are vital to pretty much any SEO strategy be it local or nationwide, the context of links is also important. Google will be looking to see where your links originate, good quality links from the local chamber of business, other local businesses and relevant directories helps to cement a layer of trust in your domain, but also to increase affinity to your trading location.
Of course other factors such as well written, highly relevant content is important, page speed (core web vitals) and general user experience all have weighting that will contribute towards your websites overall ranking performance.
Will Local Link Directories help?
Local link building & citation building will help contribute towards your websites overall authority (sometimes referred to as domain authority). Getting links from local businesses is a signal because of location bias – it reenforces your businesses establishment in a location. Citations is another key part of the local SEO process – getting citations from known and reputable directories such as Yelp, Thomson, Business Directory UK, Better Business Directory, Foursquare, The Sun & Mirror Local Listings, Applegate, Chamber of Commerce can also help drive up affinity with a location.
If Google can see other websites listing your brand with relevant details (and consistent phone number, e-mail, address, URL) then it helps to encourage local SEO signals, of which are key for improving rankings.

I have used Daniel for SEO consultancy for the last 3 years. He's helped our jewellery business to grow significantly online. We initially used Daniel for some SEO consultancy, but, after a few months we realised it would be better to just hand the SEO over to him completely. Since then our keywords are all showing prominently in Google and our analytics traffic is up 100's%. I can't thank Daniel enough and I hope this review encourages others to seek his expertise.
