Looks like you're in . Want the local site?
When someone nearby searches for a solicitor, estate agent, or dentist, three businesses appear in Google Maps. If yours isn't one of them, that call goes to whoever is — and you never know it happened.
A position in the Maps pack for your town, borough, or postcode area
More calls and enquiries from local searches
Consistent business details across UK directories
A fully built-out Google Business Profile
A GDPR-compliant review collection process
Town and borough landing pages that capture the searches you're missing
A GBP listing claimed two years ago with a default description and no photos is not doing what it could. Google weights activity, completeness, and recency. A dormant profile ranks behind an active one — every time.
"Solicitor London" is won by the biggest firms. The real opportunity is "solicitor Clapham" or "solicitor Didsbury" — borough and town-level searches where competition is manageable and intent is high. Most UK businesses haven't targeted these terms at all.
Old addresses on Thomson Local, a different postcode on Yell.com, a trading name on your GBP that differs from your Companies House listing — each inconsistency reduces Google's trust in your listing.
Collecting reviews requires a lawful basis under GDPR if you're using email or text to ask customers. Most UK businesses are either not asking at all or using automated sequences that weren't designed with UK data protection rules in mind.
A single website homepage can't rank for "dentist Crouch End" and "dentist Finsbury Park" and "dentist Stoke Newington." Each area needs its own page to rank in local searches for that location.
What it means: Your GBP listing rebuilt for ranking performance — not just verified and left. Why it matters: Google weights GBP completeness, category accuracy, activity frequency, and review recency. Most UK businesses have never properly optimised theirs. What you get: Full audit and rebuild — correct primary and secondary categories, keyword-informed business description, service listings, 10+ photos, Q&A populated, and a monthly update cycle to keep the profile active.
What it means: Mapping the town, borough, and postcode-level search terms your customers use — "conveyancing solicitor Ealing," "private GP Kensington," "emergency plumber Salford." Why it matters: UK local search behaviour is strongly area-specific. Customers search by town, village, or postcode area — not just city. Missing this level of granularity means missing the highest-converting searches. What you get: A keyword map covering your main service categories, your target areas, and your top competitors' ranking terms.
What it means: Your business details verified and matched across the UK directories Google uses to confirm local business legitimacy. Why it matters: UK-specific citation inconsistencies — postcode formatting, trading name versus registered name, old premises addresses — are common and directly suppress local rankings. What you get: Audit of existing citations across Yell.com, Thomson Local, Bing Places, Apple Maps, and industry-specific directories. Incorrect listings corrected. New listings built where gaps exist.
What it means: A GDPR-compliant system for collecting Google reviews consistently — designed for UK businesses and UK data protection rules. Why it matters: Review count and recency are direct local ranking signals. In the UK, where customers are more reserved about leaving reviews than in some markets, a structured system makes a significant difference. What you get: Review request process designed for GDPR compliance (in-person QR card, post-appointment card, or compliant follow-up), response templates, and monthly monitoring.
What it means: Town and borough-specific pages targeting the local searches your homepage can't capture. Why it matters: A London practice homepage won't rank for "dentist Battersea" and "dentist Brixton" and "dentist Stockwell." Each area needs its own page. What you get: Written and published local landing pages for your top 2–3 service areas, with local keyword targeting, schema markup, and internal linking.
What it means: Monthly reporting on calls, direction requests, and local pack positions — connected to actual enquiries, not just rankings. Why it matters: Knowing whether your GBP is generating phone calls and form enquiries — not just profile views — is the difference between investing in local SEO and paying for it. What you get: Monthly report covering GBP insights, local keyword rankings, citation health, and review growth. Delivered on a fixed date.
Most UK businesses see measurable movement in local pack rankings within 60–90 days of a full GBP optimisation and citation campaign. Highly competitive areas — central London boroughs, for example — take 3–5 months for sustained first-pack position. Outer London, regional cities, and market towns are typically faster.
Yes — name consistency is a direct local ranking signal. Your business name on your GBP must match your website exactly, and it should align with your Companies House registered name where possible. Inconsistencies — even minor variations — reduce Google's confidence in your listing.
Asking customers to leave a Google review is generally permissible under GDPR, provided you're not processing personal data to send the request in a way that requires explicit consent and isn't covered by another lawful basis. Verbal asks, QR cards, and post-service cards are typically the cleanest approach for UK businesses. We design review collection processes with UK data protection rules in mind — and we'll flag anything that creates compliance exposure.
Yes. NHS and private practice elements may need separate GBP listings or carefully structured service listings depending on whether they operate from different premises. We advise on the right structure and optimise each listing appropriately.
The highest-authority UK directories for local SEO are Yell.com, Thomson Local, Bing Places, Apple Maps, and the Better Business Bureau equivalent directories for your sector. For trades, Checkatrade and Which? Trusted Traders carry citation weight. For solicitors and estate agents, the Law Society and NAEA portals matter. We prioritise by sector and location.
Yes. Estate agents are one of the strongest local SEO use cases in the UK — high-value searches, clear geographic intent, and a market where the difference between appearing in the pack versus not can be worth tens of thousands of pounds in commission. We've optimised GBP listings and built local landing pages for estate agents across England.
We don't publish pricing because scope varies by starting point, competition level, and number of service areas. The diagnostic gives you an honest scope before any retainer starts. Pricing is in GBP.
Yes. Each physical location should have its own GBP listing, its own local landing page on your website, and its own citation footprint matching that specific address. Google treats each location independently — and so do we.
Not a black box. Real specialists you can call, with their names on the work.
The diagnostic covers your GBP score, citation health across UK directories, local keyword rankings by town or borough, and what your top 3 competitors are doing that you're not. No retainer required to start.
