The Problem

Your competitors are getting the customers that should be yours.

Every day, people in your area search Google for exactly what you offer. But they’re finding your competitors instead of you.

Not because your competitors are better — but because they’ve optimised for local search and you haven’t.

Local SEO agencies charge £500–2,000/month for this. Or you can do it yourself with the right checklist.

46%
of all Google searches have local intent
