If you're not on the map, you're not on the list.

When someone in Dorset searches for what you do, Google shows three businesses on a map and a handful of links. The ones that get the calls have complete profiles, consistent details everywhere and fresh reviews. Local SEO puts your business among them, and our guide sets out how much SEO costs in the UK. Every town needs its own approach: on Bournemouth's east side, for example, see our page on SEO in Southbourne.

◎

On the map

A complete, active Google Business Profile, so you show up in the map results for searches near you.

✦

Consistent everywhere

Your name, address and phone the same across 20–40 listings and directories, so Google trusts them.

Proof every month

A monthly report of the work done and the results: calls, direction requests and website visits.

What we do

Local SEO is a few things done well, every month.

  • Your Google Business Profile set up and kept fresh
  • Your details right across 20–40 listings

  • Checks for where you appear in the map results
  • A monthly report from our own reporting tool

What your SEO audit looks like

An example for a made-up business. Yours is about your business, your town and your competitors.

Example Harbour Coffee, Ashley Cross, Poole (made up)

  • “coffee shop poole”: not in the map top 3. Third is a café 0.4 miles away with 212 reviews; you have 38.
  • “breakfast ashley cross”: 2nd on the map ✓
  • ChatGPT names 3 cafés for “best coffee in Poole”: you're not one of them.
  • Fix 1: add Breakfast and Brunch as categories, and your menu, to your Google profile.
  • Fix 2: ask for reviews at the till for 30 days (aim: 25 more).
  • Fix 3: a page for Ashley Cross on your website.

Pick what you need.

Monthly, no VAT to add. Start with Local and add SEO & AI to win the normal results and AI answers too.

Good questions

Is the SEO audit really free?

Yes. You get the full audit by email whether or not you work with us. If you'd like us to do the fixes, Local is £295 a month + £249 set-up, and SEO & AI is from £495 a month.

How long does the audit take?

It takes you a minute to ask, and you'll have it by email within 3 working days.

What do you need from me?

Just your name, business name, email and town. Your website helps, if you have one.

How long does local SEO take to work?

Profile and listing fixes often show within weeks. Steady gains in the map results usually build over 3–6 months of regular work. We show you the trend every month.

What's the difference between Local and SEO & AI?

Local looks after your Google profile, Maps, directories and reviews. SEO & AI wins the normal search results and AI answers, with new pages, links and a monthly ranking check.

How will I know it's working?

Every month you see where you show up on Google and how many people called or visited.

Whose accounts do you use?

Yours. Your Google profile and listings stay in your name, and we're added as a manager.
