Local SEO & Google Business Profile Optimisation

If you serve customers in a specific area, the Google map results matter more than anything else on the page. Most small businesses either have never claimed their Business Profile, or claimed it and filled in three fields. Fixing that is one of the highest-return hours anyone can spend on a local business, and it does not require a monthly retainer to do.

Deliverables

What's included in local seo

Every item below is written into the package scope, so you can check exactly what you paid for.
01

Profile claim and verification

We claim your Google Business Profile, walk you through verification, and merge or remove duplicate listings competing with your real one.

02

Full profile optimisation

Primary and secondary categories, services list, opening hours, service area, attributes and a description written for how people actually search.

03

Photo and post setup

Your images uploaded, named and organised correctly, plus your first Google Post published and a template so you can keep going.

04

Citation consistency

Your name, address and phone number checked and corrected across the major directories, so conflicting data stops undermining your listing.

05

LocalBusiness schema

Structured data added to your website connecting it to your profile, with address, hours and service area marked up properly.

06

Review request system

A short review link and a message template you can send after every job — the single most effective thing a local business can do.

The process

How the work actually runs

Four steps, no discovery calls, and you always know what happens next.
  1. 01

    1. Audit what exists

    We check whether a profile already exists, whether there are duplicates, and how your details appear across directories today.

  2. 02

    2. Claim and verify

    Google verification can take a few days and sometimes needs a postcard to your address. We handle the process and tell you exactly what to expect.

  3. 03

    3. Optimise

    Every field completed, categories chosen deliberately, photos uploaded, description written, schema added to your site.

  4. 04

    4. Hand over

    Ownership of the profile stays with you. You get the review link, the posting template and a short guide to keeping it current.

FAQ

Local SEO: common questions

The questions we get asked most often before an engagement starts.

How much does Google Business Profile optimisation cost?

$50 as a one-time setup, or included free in our $299 5-Page Business Website package. There is no monthly fee — once a profile is set up properly, keeping it current takes you a few minutes a month, and we show you how.

How long until I show up on Google Maps?

Verification usually takes two to seven days, and sometimes requires a postcard from Google to your business address, which can take longer. After verification, profiles typically begin appearing in local results within a few weeks. Where you rank depends on your category's competitiveness, your proximity to the searcher and your review count — none of which anyone can guarantee.

Do I need a physical address?

Not necessarily. Service-area businesses can hide their address and set a service radius instead, which suits trades, mobile services and home-based businesses. You do need a real address to verify with, even if it is not shown publicly.

Can you get me more reviews?

We set up the system that makes asking easy — a short link and a message template you send after each job. We will not write reviews or buy them. Fake reviews violate Google's policies, get profiles suspended, and in the US can attract FTC penalties.
