What is local SEO and why do trades need it?

By , Founder·Last updated
The short answer

Local SEO is the work that gets your business shown to people searching for your trade in your area, such as “electrician near me” or “boiler repair Croydon”. It covers your Google Business Profile, reviews, service and area pages, and consistent business details across the web.

Trades need it because nearly every job is local. A customer in Stockport does not care whether you rank across the country. They care that you appear in the Google Maps results when they search from their kitchen, and the top three map results take a large share of the calls.

Local SEO is also the most direct line to customers who are ready to book. Someone searching “emergency plumber Salford” has a problem now and is about to pick up the phone.

Our local SEO service covers profile optimisation, area pages and map pack work, from £550 a month.
