Eligibility check
Google lists businesses that meet customers in person or serve them at their location. I check how that applies to you before anything is claimed.

Local SEO helps your business show up when people nearby search for what you sell, including in Google Maps. It starts with one question: is your business eligible for a Google Business Profile?

What’s included
Local visibility that matches your website
Business Profile set-up
Category, service areas, description, products and hours drafted from your website’s own content.
Consistent details
Your name, address and contact details agree across the site, the profile and other listings.
Local landing pages
Pages for the areas you genuinely serve, where they add something useful for the searcher.
Monthly posts
A post calendar tied to seasonal searches, each linking to a matching page with tracking tags.
Reviews
A simple way to ask customers for reviews, with reply drafts for you to approve.
How it works
Eligibility first, then consistency
Eligibility first
We confirm whether your business qualifies for a Business Profile, and how, before a profile is claimed or created.
Profile that matches the site Your sign-off
I draft every profile field from your website so the details agree everywhere. You review and approve.
Local pages
Where it makes sense, pages for the areas you serve, linked from the right parts of your site.
Posts and reviews
Monthly posts tied to what people search for, and reply drafts for new reviews.
Measure
Calls, website clicks and direction requests from the profile’s performance report, alongside tagged visits in Google Analytics.
Online-only store?
If you sell only online and never meet customers in person, you may not be eligible for a Business Profile. In that case I’ll tell you, and focus your budget on SEO and content instead.
What I won’t do
No fake addresses, keyword-stuffed business names or incentivised reviews. They break Google’s guidelines and put the profile at risk.
FAQs
Local SEO questions
Do we need a physical shop?
Not necessarily. Businesses that serve customers at their location, or offer in-person pickup, may also qualify. The eligibility check is the first step for exactly this reason.
How do you measure Local SEO?
With the profile’s own performance report (calls, website clicks and direction requests) and tagged visits in Google Analytics.
Can you manage our reviews?
I can set up a simple way to ask customers for reviews and draft replies for you to approve. I don’t write reviews or offer incentives for them.
