Google My Business

Google is where customers go to discover your business, find out what you do, when you’re open, and how to get in touch. If you don’t have an optimised, updated Google My Business listing, for many local customers it’s like you simply don’t exist.

We’ll make sure your business is visible on Google through a fully optimised Google My Business profile. Achieving consistent business names, opening hours, addresses and contact numbers is vital to getting the most out of local search traffic.

Our Google My Business service will get your Google Maps location and local listings set up, regularly updated and monitored and really jumping off the local search results page.

Local content creation & optimisation

Local SEO content consists of text, images, and video designed to meet the needs of local searchers. To move up the ranks in search results, you need rich local content. Our local SEO services ensure that page content on your website is comprehensively optimised for the keywords and phrases that your target audience is using when searching for your products, services and expertise.

Local keyword research

By creating rich local content, you can rank for less competitive, local keywords. And it's not just adding a location at the end of a search! Our local search engine experts will cover the right topics and keywords and create the right content that matches your customers' search intent.

We'll perform extensive and comprehensive keyword research to ensure that we have in-depth knowledge of your marketplace and your local area.

Local SEO audits

Ascensor's specialist SEO services team will find any inconsistencies or gaps in your local presence online with a full local SEO audit. We’ll look behind the scenes of your website and Google My Business listings to see how well they are currently optimised. Our local SEO audit will give you in-depth information on which search terms your site is currently optimised for - and what can be done to improve performance on search engine results pages.

Local digital PR, outreach & local link building

Our local SEO services are focused on conversions, and a key part of local SEO strategy are creative digital PR campaigns that are worthy of a backlink.

The Ascensor team have got the skills and creativity to use digital PR techniques to gain both coverage and high-value links from news and media sites.

Drawing on years of experience, we'll create PR content that will make you visible locally, and help find avenues and opportunities for local citations and links, prioritising quality over quantity.

CRO analysis

Local organic rankings are impacted by mobile friendliness, user experience and page speed. Ascensor's local SEO experts take care of all the technical details and work through all the important topics using tried and tested technical SEO methods.

We ensure optimal crawlability and indexing of your site, plus we can provide a full review and implementation of your schema markup code, so search engines can learn who you are, where you are and what products or services you offer.

Our approach to local search engine optimisation

With Ascensor, you'll get a collaborative, client-focused approach with proven and tangible results from evidence-based practice. We always work closely our with clients to ensure that we deliver conversion-focused, data-driven results.

Does every business need local SEO?

Local SEO is most relevant when customers search by place, visit a location or need a provider within a service area. A fully online business without local intent may benefit more from national or ecommerce SEO. Keyword and customer research can confirm where demand exists. At Ascensor, we check customer demand and search intent before recommending local, national or ecommerce SEO as the main focus.

How much do local SEO services cost?

Cost depends on the number of locations, competition, website condition and the mix of profile, content, technical and authority work required. A proposal should explain the locations and services being targeted, the monthly activity and how calls, enquiries or sales will be measured. At Ascensor, we scope local SEO around the number of locations, competition and the mix of profile, content, technical and authority work required.

How long does local SEO take?

Some profile and technical improvements can be reflected relatively quickly, while competitive local rankings usually require sustained work over several months. Timescales depend on location, competition, proximity, current visibility, website quality and the strength of the business's local reputation. At Ascensor, we set expectations from the current profile, website, locations and competitive search results rather than offering a fixed ranking timetable.

What is the difference between SEO and local SEO?

General SEO can target national or broader searches, while local SEO adds location relevance and local business signals. Local work often focuses on Google Business Profile, reviews, citations and location pages alongside the technical, content and authority principles used in wider SEO. At Ascensor, we use local business signals alongside technical, content and authority work to build relevance for the locations a client genuinely serves.

Why is local SEO important?

Local search connects nearby customers with businesses that can serve them. Strong visibility in map and organic results can increase calls, directions, website visits and enquiries. It is especially important for businesses with physical locations or defined service areas. At Ascensor, we connect local visibility with measurable actions such as calls, directions, website visits and enquiries where tracking allows.

What is local SEO?

Local SEO improves a business's visibility when people search for products or services in a particular area. It can include Google Business Profile optimisation, local landing pages, consistent business information, reviews, local links and technical website improvements. At Ascensor, our local SEO work can combine Google Business Profile, local content, keyword research, audits, digital PR, links and conversion analysis.
