Local SEO services in the UK

The short answer is it depends.

It depends on:

• how competitive your area is
• how strong your competitors are (and whether they’re “real” businesses or lead gen sites)
• whether your Google Business Profile is currently a mess
• whether your website has any authority at all
• whether you’ve got enough service/location pages to match what people actually search

In general, you’ll usually feel early movement in 4 – 8 weeks (better rankings for a few terms, more impressions, more map views).

The bigger lift often takes 3 – 6 months.

Local SEO isn’t instant.

But if the foundations are right, you should see signs of life pretty quickly.

As little as possible — but the right things.

Usually:

• access to your website (or someone who can implement changes fast)
• access to your Google Business Profile
• a list of your services (what you actually want to be found for)
• your priority areas (towns, boroughs, postcodes — whatever matters)
• any history: previous SEO work, penalties, suspensions, migrations, rebrands

And one more thing that people hate hearing but always matters:
speed of implementation. 

If recommendations sit in a Notion report for 3 months, local SEO becomes a slow burner.

No. And if someone does, they’re either lying or cherry-picking keywords no one searches.

Google is not a vending machine. Rankings move. Competitors react.

The map results change based on location and intent.

What I do guarantee is this:

• you’ll get a plan based on what’s actually holding you back
• the work will be focused on things that matter
• you’ll understand what’s happening and why
• we’ll measure outcomes

If you want guarantees, run Google Ads.

If you want compounding, defendable search traffic, that’s what local SEO is for.
