In short

Local SEO is the work that decides whether your business shows up when someone nearby searches for what you sell. We optimise your Google Business Profile, clean up your business listings, build the right local citations, set up a compliant review system and create location pages that deserve to rank, then report every change we make and what it did for calls, direction requests and leads.

For most local businesses, the map pack is where the money is. When someone in Rotterdam searches "dentist near me", or someone in Calgary types "emergency plumber", three businesses get the map listing and almost everyone else gets scrolled past. AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Google AI Overviews now answer the same questions, and they lean on the same signals: an accurate profile, consistent business data across the web, recent reviews and a website that clearly says what you do and where.

We do the full job, city by city. We start by finding out why you are not ranking today (it is rarely just one thing), fix the foundations in the right order, then keep building. You get a named contact, a monthly change log and plain language reporting on the numbers that matter to you: calls, direction requests, bookings and enquiries.

We work remotely from Chattogram, Bangladesh, which means two things. You pay specialist rates without big city overheads, and we will never pretend to have an office on your high street. Local SEO does not require one. It requires care, consistency and knowing how Google treats your market.

Who it is for

Built for businesses like yours

Single location businesses

Clinics, restaurants, salons, law firms, contractors and shops that want more calls and walk ins from their own area.

Service area businesses

Plumbers, cleaners, movers and trades who travel to customers and need to rank across several towns without a storefront address.

Multi location brands

Chains and franchises that need every branch listed correctly, consistently and ranking for its own neighbourhood.

Businesses entering a new country

Companies launching in the Netherlands, Singapore, Canada or the UK that need local visibility from day one.

What is included

What you get with Local SEO Services

Local SEO audit and baseline

Map pack positions for your money keywords across your area, profile completeness, duplicate listings, citation consistency, reviews and on site local signals.

Google Business Profile optimisation

Categories, services, attributes, products, photos, description and a posting rhythm, all aligned with Google guidelines so the profile is safe from suspensions.

Listing clean up and citations

Duplicates merged, wrong addresses and phone numbers fixed, then the directories that actually matter in your country and niche, not hundreds of junk sites.

Compliant review growth

A simple system to ask every customer for a review, plus replies to every review. No incentives, no filtering, nothing that breaks Google policy or consumer law.

Location and service pages

Pages for the places and services you want to win, written to be genuinely useful, with LocalBusiness schema and clean internal linking.

Bing, Apple Maps and AI visibility

Bing Places and Apple Business Connect set up and synced, because Bing data feeds Copilot and ChatGPT search, and Apple Maps is the default on every iPhone.

Monthly reporting and change log

Rankings, calls, direction requests and website clicks, plus a dated log of everything we changed, explained in plain language.

How it works

Our process, step by step

  1. 01

    Audit (week 1)

    We map where you rank today, street by street where it matters, and find what is holding you back.

  2. 02

    Fix the foundations (weeks 2 to 4)

    Profile optimisation, duplicate and NAP clean up, core citations and on site local signals. Order matters here: cleaning before building.

  3. 03

    Build (month 2 onwards)

    Reviews, location and service pages, local links and fresh profile content, prioritised by what will move your rankings fastest.

  4. 04

    Report and adjust (monthly)

    A short report and change log every month, and a call if you want one. We double down on what works and drop what does not.

FAQ

Local SEO Services: questions people ask

How long does local SEO take to work?

+

Fixes such as wrong categories, duplicate listings or a missing service area can move rankings within weeks. Building authority through reviews, citations and local content takes three to six months to show its full effect, and longer in competitive cities. We show progress in the monthly report so you are never guessing.

Can you do local SEO for my city if you are not based there?

+

Yes. Local SEO depends on your business data, your Google Business Profile, your reviews and your website, not on where the people doing the work sit. We work with businesses in the Netherlands, Singapore, Canada, the US and other countries, and we research each market before we start.

Do I need a physical address to rank in Google Maps?

+

You need a real business address to verify a Google Business Profile, but service area businesses can hide it and show the areas they serve instead. What you must not do is use a virtual office or a fake address to rank somewhere you do not operate. That gets profiles suspended, and we will not do it.

What is the difference between local SEO and normal SEO?

+

Normal SEO aims to rank your website in the regular search results, often nationally or globally. Local SEO focuses on searches with local intent, which show the map pack, and on signals tied to a place: your Business Profile, reviews, citations and location pages. Most local businesses need both, with local SEO doing most of the lead generation.

Will you have access to my Google Business Profile?

+

We ask to be added as a manager, not an owner. Managers can do the optimisation work but cannot remove you or delete the profile, so you stay in full control and can remove us at any time.

Do you work in Dutch?

+

Yes, for the Netherlands we write profile content, posts and local pages in Dutch, because Dutch customers search in Dutch. Reports and communication can be in English.

How do you report results?

+

Every month you get map pack positions for your target keywords, Google Business Profile calls, direction requests and website clicks, plus a dated change log of everything we did. If you track leads in a CRM, we can include those too.
