What is local SEO?
Local SEO is the work that helps people nearby find your business when they search on Google. Someone types "electrician" or "florist near me", and Google shows a map, three local businesses and then the normal results.
You don't need to type a town name for this to happen. Google already knows roughly where the searcher is, so it leans towards businesses close to them.
Local SEO services make sure your website and your listing give Google clear reasons to show you. That means being relevant to the search, being known in your area and being easy to trust.
See where you stand on Google, free
Find your business, add up to three keywords and your audit runs live searches in about a minute. It's real results for your business, not a generic report.
Your free local audit shows you:
- Your Google Maps rank, at 25 points across your area, on a heat map.
- Who's beating you, with the businesses that take Google's top 3 spots most often.
- Your Google Search position, and who holds the map pack.
- Your ChatGPT answer, and whether it recommends you when a customer asks.
- Your AI readiness score, showing how easy your website is for AI assistants to read.
It's the clearest way to see what's worth doing next. You can read more on our free local audit page.
What our local SEO services do for you
Once you know where you stand, our SEO plans go to work on your website. Here's what's included.
Local SEO services built around your area
We write articles around the services you offer and the areas you cover, then publish them to your website automatically. Each one gives local customers another way to find you.
Our knowledge base keeps the details right, so your articles reflect how you work and where you work. You can see the thinking behind this in our guide to local search ranking factors.
Backlinks every month
We build 2, 3 or 4 backlinks a month, depending on your plan. Google says local prominence is partly based on how many websites link to your business, so this work is done for you.
Rank tracking you can follow
Your key phrases are checked every week and shown on a Google ranking graph in your dashboard. You can see how your website is moving, whenever you like.
Your Google Business Profile
Google Business Profile support is a separate service, from £39 a month, and we're opening it up in stages. Run your free audit first, and you'll see exactly where your listing stands today.
Local content for every area you cover
Most local businesses work across more than one town. Your website needs to show Google that, in plain words, on pages people actually want to read.
That's where our articles come in. Each one answers a real question your customers ask, about a service you offer, in a place you work.
Over time, that builds a library of helpful local pages on your website. It's the kind of content our guide to SEO content for local markets explains in more depth.
You stay in charge of what we write. Your knowledge base holds your services, the areas you cover and any dos and don'ts, and we refer to it before writing every new article.
How Google decides local results
Google says local results are based mainly on three things, and it's worth knowing them.
- Relevance: how well a Business Profile matches what someone is searching for.
- Distance: how far each business is from the customer who's searching.
- Prominence: how well-known a business is, based on things like how many websites link to it and how many reviews it has.
Google also says "There's no way to request or pay for a better local ranking on Google." So be wary of any local SEO agency that promises you a position.
Distance is fixed, which is why your rank changes across your town. Your free audit shows you that street by street, so you can see where your next customers are searching.
Reviews play their part in prominence too. Our post on why Google reviews matter covers the simple habits that help.
Who our local SEO services are for
We work with UK businesses whose customers are nearby, from sole traders to firms with a few vans on the road.
Trades and home services
Electricians, plumbers, roofers, cleaners and more. Your customers search when something needs fixing, and the first few names get the call.
Shops, salons and clinics
If people visit you, Google Maps is often where they find you. Helpful articles give your website more to show for the searches around your door.
Businesses covering several towns
If you travel to your customers, we write for each area you cover. That way, your website isn't just about the town on your address.

5. Your articles publish automatically
Once your website is connected, each new article goes live on its scheduled date. You can follow your rankings in your dashboard every week.
A local SEO company, without the agency bill
A 2026 UK agency pricing guide puts local SEO packages at around £500 to £1,200 a month. An agency gives you more personal time for that, which can be well worth it on a bigger project.
If you'd rather have steady local work at a fixed price, Auto-SEO starts at £49 a month. We do the writing, the publishing and the backlinks, so you can stay focused on your customers.
Backlinks are part of every plan because links from other websites still count. Our guide to why backlinks matter explains how they help a local website.

Local SEO questions
Our answers to the questions local businesses ask most.
What do local SEO services include?
Ours include articles written around your services and area, monthly backlinks, weekly rank tracking and a free website audit worth £49. Start with our free local audit to see where you stand.
How much do local SEO services cost?
Auto-SEO plans cost £49, £79 or £129 a month, with no contracts. You can try any plan for 7 days for £1. Google Business Profile support is a separate service, from £39 a month.
Is the local audit really free?
Yes. There's no card and no account, and your results come on screen and by email.
Do I need a Google Business Profile?
It helps, because it's how you appear on Google Maps. If you're not listed yet, the audit page shows you how we can help you get listed.
Can you get me to the top of Google Maps?
No one can promise that. Google says there's no way to request or pay for a better local ranking. We do the work that supports your visibility, and we show you the results.
Do you work in my area?
Yes. We work with businesses across the UK, and your articles are tailored to the areas you cover.
What's the difference between local SEO and normal SEO?
Local SEO focuses on customers near you, so Google Maps and the map pack matter as much as the normal results. The groundwork is similar: helpful pages, links from other websites and a site Google can read easily.
How long does local SEO take to work?
It depends on your area, your competitors and where you're starting from, so we don't promise a timescale. Your rankings are checked every week, so you can see how things are moving.
Do I need to write anything myself?
No. We write and publish the articles for you. You can read and edit every one in your dashboard, and your knowledge base helps us get the details right.
