Got Questions? We’ve Got You Covered

Local SEO focuses on helping your business appear in search results for location-based queries, like “plumber near me” or “best dog groomer in [town].” It’s all about helping local customers find and contact you quickly.

No, but it helps a lot. We can optimise your Google Business Profile alone, but for the best results—including higher trust and better conversions—a well-structured website is key. If you don’t have one, we can help build it.

Not at all. If you serve customers in a specific area, even if you work from home or operate remotely, Local SEO can still help you appear in relevant local searches.

Yes — Local SEO works extremely well for service-area businesses. Whether you travel to customers or operate without a physical shopfront, we optimise your Google Business Profile, service areas, and website so you can rank in the locations you want to target. This helps you appear more often when people search for services “near me” across your coverage area.

Yes, absolutely. Whether you have two locations or ten, we can build out a strategy that supports all of them, including individual location pages and GBP profiles if needed.

You’ll usually start seeing early improvements within 4–6 weeks, especially with Google Business Profile optimisation and fixing key visibility issues.


More competitive rankings typically take 8–12 weeks, with steady month-on-month growth as we continue adding content, improving relevance, and strengthening your authority.

Local SEO is ongoing — the longer it runs, the stronger and more stable your rankings become.

Costs depend on your goals, how competitive your area is, and the work needed to improve your visibility.

Local SEO packages start from £295 per month, covering essentials like Google Business Profile optimisation, local keyword targeting, on-page SEO, citation building, and monthly improvements.

For larger service areas or multi-location businesses, custom plans can be created to match your needs.

I work with small businesses across East Sussex and the UK, helping them improve visibility in local search and Google Maps.

If you’re based in or around the following locations, I can help:

If you’re nearby but don’t see your town listed, feel free to get in touch. Local SEO isn’t limited by strict boundaries, and I regularly work with businesses across the wider Sussex area and beyond.
