We don’t lock you into contracts – stay with us because it works, not because you have to.
When local customers search for your services, they look in two places: the Map Pack (for immediate location) and the Organic listings (for trusted information). If you aren’t visible in both, you are handing market share to your competitors. Nearly half of all online searches are for local businesses, and if your website is buried on page 2 while your competitor sits at the top of page 1, you are missing out on high-intent leads who are ready to buy.
Whether a customer finds you via a map pin or an organic website link, the goal is the same: a physical action. We optimise your entire online presence to drive phone calls, appointment bookings, and store visits. By targeting both the “zero-click” map searchers (who call directly from the map) and the research-focused organic searchers, we ensure you capture customers at every stage of their buying journey.
Local search is shifting. Customers are asking AI tools for recommendations, not just lists – queries like “who is the most reliable builder in [City]?” or “best rated cafe nearby.”
To capture these customers, you must be the top suggestion.
Our Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) strategy ensures your business is that suggestion. We optimise your local profiles, citations, and reviews so when AI recommends a local expert, it recommends you.
Our local SEO services are built to secure your presence in your local area. We combine technical optimisation with regional authority building to make your business the clear choice for nearby customers.
We identify the precise terms and “near me” phrases local customers use when searching for your services. Targeting these specific queries ensures your website appears exactly when potential customers are ready to visit or call.
When trusted directories and regional news sites mention your business, it proves your credibility to search engines. We build and manage these references to ensure your name, address, and phone number are consistent across the web.
Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing a customer sees. We fully optimise your listing with accurate details, posts, and images so you rank higher in the Map Pack and convert searchers into visitors.
By studying the businesses currently winning in your town or city, we can see exactly why they rank. We use these insights to uncover gaps in their strategy and find opportunities for you to outperform in local search.
Mobile searches happen while users are on the move. We ensure your site is fast and reliable. We also implement specific code (Schema markup) that helps search engines understand exactly where you are located and the areas you serve.
Content that addresses local issues or interests builds a genuine connection with your audience. We create specific pages and guides that demonstrate your expertise in the area to both your customers and search engines.
We’re proud to be recognised as a leading SEO agency by businesses across the UK. With multiple awards, including best nationwide SEO services provider, and top ratings on Trustpilot and Google, our reputation is built on delivering real results.
Our clients value our transparent communication, data-driven strategies and dedication to helping businesses grow online. With over 10 years experience in SEO and a proven track record in delivering results, you can trust us to drive sustainable growth online.
Effective Local SEO requires understanding UK geography, not just algorithms. Many agencies outsource to offshore teams who don’t know the difference between a county and a borough, leading to content and data errors that confuse Google. We are a fully UK-based team. We ensure your content resonates with local audiences and your location data is 100% accurate across British directories like Yell and Thomson Local, building a solid foundation for both map and organic success.

Google rewards businesses that demonstrate Trustworthiness (E-E-A-T). If your address or phone number is inconsistent across the web, your organic rankings suffer. We don’t use automated tools to blast spammy citations. Instead, we perform manual audits to build a “Trust Shield” around your brand. This manual care ensures search engines trust your data implicitly, which is a critical ranking factor for both local maps and traditional organic search results.
Andrew is the founder of Studio 36 Digital and an advanced SEO specialist with over 10 years of experience helping businesses and brands across the UK improve their online visibility. He holds professional certifications in SEO, including the Ahrefs Certification, and has led data-driven strategies that have significantly increased organic traffic and search engine rankings for clients in a wide range of industries.
For immediate visibility, your Google Business Profile is key. We treat it as your second homepage. We fully optimise your profile with keyword-rich services, geo-tagged images, and regular updates to help you rank in the coveted “Top 3” Map Pack. This captures the users looking for immediate solutions nearby, driving calls and directions directly from the search results.
To dominate the search results below the maps, we build a “Hub and Spoke” content strategy. We create high-quality, location-specific pages on your website that target towns and suburbs where you want to work, even if you don’t have an office there. This expands your reach beyond your postcode, allowing you to rank organically for service keywords across a wider region and capturing customers who are researching deeper before they call.
We offer a free, no-obligation SEO audit for your website. This includes a review of your keyword rankings, content quality, on-page and off-page SEO, backlinks, and technical issues. You’ll receive a detailed report along with a recommended SEO strategy.
We'll use your details to prepare your audit and respond to your enquiry. If you tick the box above, we'll also send marketing emails you can unsubscribe from any time. See our Privacy Policy.
We’re committed to complete transparency. Our Local SEO services include monthly reports tailored to your business, giving you clear insights into your local search rankings, website traffic, and key performance metrics. Delivered straight to your inbox, these reports make it easy to track your progress and understand the impact of your Local SEO strategy.
We use industry-leading SEO tools for research, analysis, and reporting. This investment ensures we uncover valuable insights about your website traffic, competitors, and opportunities for growth.
Our client portal puts everything you need at your fingertips. Quickly access invoices, subscription details, reports, and live chat support with our team, all in one secure place.
Our Local SEO packages are designed for small to medium-sized businesses, offering clear monthly pricing with no long-term tie-ins. Each plan includes everything needed to boost your visibility in local search and map results, with just 30 days’ notice required to cancel.

While we work with businesses across the UK, these are some of the key areas where we provide local SEO services. Click through to see how we help businesses in your area get found on Google.
While we work with most business types and sectors, these are some of the most common local business types.
Local SEO is the strategic process of optimising your online presence to dominate the “local pack”, the map listings and top three results that appear for searches like “plumber near me” or “coffee shop in Blackpool.” Unlike general SEO, which focuses on website traffic, Local SEO focuses on generating physical actions: phone calls, store visits, and appointment bookings. We achieve this by optimising your Google Business Profile, building trusted local citations, and managing your reputation.
General SEO targets national or global keywords to drive traffic to your website. Local SEO is highly specific to geography. It targets the “Map Pack” (the map block at the top of Google) and requires a completely different technical approach. This includes managing your Name, Address, and Phone number (NAP) consistency across UK directories like Yell and Thomson Local, and optimising for “zero-click” searches where customers contact you directly from Google Maps without ever visiting your website.
Yes, it is non-negotiable. For local businesses, your Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is often more important than your homepage. Google data shows that a significant percentage of local customers click “Call” or “Directions” directly from the profile listing. If your profile is unverified, missing information, or lacks reviews, you are handing those customers directly to your competitors. We manage this profile daily to ensure it is your hardest-working asset.
While general SEO is a long-term play, Local SEO can often show faster initial wins. Once we verify your Google Business Profile and correct inconsistent directory listings, you may see an uptake in visibility within 30 to 60 days. However, dominating the top 3 spots for competitive terms typically takes 3 to 6 months of consistent work, including review management and local content creation.
This is the most common challenge for service-area businesses (like electricians or mobile vets). Google prioritises physical proximity, but we use specific strategies to expand your reach. We create high-quality “location service pages” on your website and build authority in those target areas through local content and relevant citations. While we cannot “trick” Google, we can significantly expand your visibility radius beyond just your registered postcode.
A citation is any mention of your business name, address, and phone number on another website. Google uses these to verify that your business is real and located where you say it is. If Yell says you are on High Street but Facebook says you are on Main Road, Google loses trust and your rankings can be affected. We perform a full audit and manual cleanup of your citations across the UK’s most trusted directories to build a “trust shield” around your brand.
No. Just like our national SEO services, we operate on a flexible 30-day rolling basis. We believe that if we are doing our job, bringing you more local customers, you will want to stay. We don’t need to lock you in with a 12-month contract; our results do the retention work for us.
