46% of all Google searches have local intent. When someone types "plumber near me" or "solicitor Manchester", they're ready to hire - not research. Local SEO puts your business in front of these high-intent searches at zero cost per click.
The Google Map Pack - the three business listings appearing above organic results - captures 44% of all clicks. If you're not in those three spots, you're invisible to nearly half your potential customers.
- One of our London real estate clients went from 0 to 12,000 leads per month in 6 months through a combination of Map Pack and organic local SEO.
Your Google Business Profile is the most important local SEO asset you control. Most businesses set it up once and never touch it again - a significant competitive advantage left on the table.
Citations are online mentions of your business Name, Address, and Phone number (NAP). Consistent NAP across directories signals to Google that your business information is trustworthy.
Google reviews are the most visible trust signal in local search. Review velocity and sentiment are direct Map Pack ranking factors.
If you serve multiple locations, a single homepage cannot rank for "service + city" keywords across all of them. Dedicated local landing pages are essential.
