Why your business may not be showing up
Weak Google Business Profile
Wrong categories selected
Incomplete services list
Poor or missing photos
Slow review velocity
No Google Posts
Inconsistent business details
Website not helping rankings
Every missed local search can become a missed call, booking or job
When someone searches "near me", they're usually ready to buy. They'll call the business that looks credible — strong reviews, clear photos, complete profile, fast website.
If your profile is weak, incomplete or under-reviewed, that demand goes to whoever Google ranks above you. Quietly. Every day.
- A roofer can lose £2,000–£10,000 in a single missed enquiry
- A garage missing on "MOT near me" loses £40–£60 per booking
- A restaurant invisible in Maps loses dozens of weekly covers
- A solicitor missing on "conveyancing [town]" loses £1,000+ instructions
We don't guarantee outcomes. But weak local visibility makes it easier for competitors to win the click, the call and the customer.
46%
of all Google searches have local intent. For service businesses, the share is higher still — and the local-pack (Google Maps) takes most of the clicks.

10 things most agencies never look at
Most "audits" check three review numbers and call it a report. Ours is a real diagnosis of the full local visibility stack — the same checklist we use on paying clients.
Google Business Profile completeness
Every field that affects how Google ranks and displays you — checked line by line.
Primary & secondary categories
The single biggest lever most businesses get wrong. We map you to the categories that actually rank.
Services & products setup
Structured services and products with the right keywords — not a single bland description.
Review quantity, quality & velocity
How you compare to competitors, and how fast you're (or aren't) growing.
Photo & media strength
Cover, interior, team, geo-tagged photos, upload frequency, and what's missing.
Google Posts & update activity
Most local businesses never post. It's a free signal you're leaving on the table.
Website conversion issues
Speed, calls-to-action, click-to-call, forms, trust signals — all the things that turn visits into enquiries.
Local keyword coverage
What people in your town actually search — and whether your profile and site speak that language.
Service & location page gaps
Pages you should have to capture nearby searches you're currently invisible for.
Competitor comparison & quick wins
Who's beating you, why, and the 3–5 fixes that would close the gap fastest.
No card. No obligation. 24–48h response.
A complete local growth system
Profile optimisation
Categories, services, descriptions, hours, contact details — fixed and tightened.
Review generation
A simple system to ask, capture and respond to reviews consistently.
Photo & media plan
Geo-tagged photos, cover assets and product imagery that drive clicks.
Local keyword improvements
Mapped to real customer search behaviour in your town and category.
Website & landing pages
Conversion-focused pages built to turn local visitors into enquiries.
Tracking & reporting
Calls, form fills and direction requests measured monthly.

How long does it take to see results on Google Maps?+
Most clients see measurable improvements within 2–4 weeks of GBP optimisation. Full Map Pack movement typically takes 4–8 weeks depending on competition and location.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?+
No. We work on one-off packages and monthly retainers with no lock-in. You can stop the retainer at any time with 30 days notice.
How do you take payment?+
We invoice by bank transfer once a package is agreed. No card required, no subscriptions, no auto-renewal.
Can you help businesses outside London?+
Yes — we work with businesses across the UK including Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Edinburgh, and more. Most of our work is done remotely.
Do I need a website to improve my Google Maps ranking?+
Not always. A strong Google Business Profile alone can significantly improve Map Pack visibility. That said, having a well-structured website aligned with your GBP does improve rankings over time.
What's included in the free audit?+
A real human review of your Google Business Profile scored out of 100, covering completeness, categories, photos, reviews, services, local keywords, and competitor benchmarking. Delivered by email within 24–48 hours. No card required.
