Local SEO Agency for London and UK Service Businesses
Local SEO is how a service business gets found in the three map results at the top of Google. We handle Google Business Profile setup, citation building and the on-page work that puts you there. Free 48-hour audit, no obligation.
The three businesses in the map results at the top of a local Google search take the overwhelming majority of the enquiries. Position four and below are effectively invisible. Google decides those three positions on relevance, distance and prominence, and prominence is the only one you control. Prominence is built from a complete and active Google Business Profile, a consistent name, address and phone number across the web, a steady flow of recent reviews, and pages on your own site that actually mention the city you serve. Most service businesses have none of these done properly, which is why the winner in most local searches is rarely the best operator. It is the most findable one.
Google Business Profile is the single highest-leverage asset in local search, and it is free. Setting it up properly takes four steps and most businesses stop after the first.
Every engagement begins with a free 48-hour audit covering your Google Business Profile, your citation consistency, your review profile and your current Local Pack position for the searches that matter.
Local search and Google Business work starts from £400 as a one-off setup, and local SEO retainers start from £250 per month. Pricing is published in full on the pricing page. 3-month minimum, rolling monthly thereafter with 30 days notice to cancel. No long contracts.
Start with a free 48-hour local search audit. We review your Google Business Profile, your citation consistency, your review profile and your current Local Pack position, and tell you plainly what is holding you back. Written report and Loom video walkthrough within 48 hours. No obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does local SEO take to work in the UK?
Google Business Profile improvements can move Local Pack positions within 2 to 6 weeks. Citation consistency and review volume compound over 3 to 6 months. Competitive city terms in London take longer than the same term in Leeds, because the number of businesses competing for three positions is far higher.
Do I need a physical address for Google Business Profile setup in the UK?
You need an address Google can verify, but you do not have to display it. A service area business hides the address from the public profile and lists the areas it covers instead. This is the correct setup for any business that travels to its clients.
What is NAP consistency and why does it matter?
NAP is your business name, address and phone number. Google cross-references those details across every directory it can find. When they disagree, Google trusts all of them less, and a business with inconsistent details will be outranked by a competitor whose details match everywhere. Lock the exact string in writing once and copy it into every listing.
Can I do local SEO myself?
The Google Business Profile setup, yes, and it is worth doing rather than leaving undone. The parts that take an agency are the twenty citation submissions, the review request process that actually runs every week, the city pages, and the monthly tracking that tells you whether any of it is working.
How many Google reviews do I need to rank in the Local Pack?
There is no threshold. What matters is being competitive with the businesses currently holding the three positions, and having reviews arriving recently rather than all at once two years ago. In most UK service categories, 30 or more recent reviews at 4.5 stars or better is a strong position.
