Local SEO done properly

Around 46% of all Google searches have a local intent, and 76% of people who do a local search visit a business within 24 hours. If you serve a defined town, city or region, your map-pack presence and review profile are doing a huge amount of selling - or losing - for you every week.

We run a focused, lean Local SEO programme: Google Business Profile work, real UK citations, a sustainable review-generation process and the local content that wins map-pack visibility. No templates, no fake reviews, no off-shore content - your account is run by senior people in the UK.

Is this the right plan for you?

Yes, if you...

  • Serve customers in a defined town, city, postcode area or region
  • Want to win "[service] near me" and map-pack searches
  • Care about Google Business Profile visibility and reviews
  • Run a service-area business: trades, restaurants, salons, clinics, accountants, solicitors, agencies
  • Have a single Google Business Profile (or up to a small handful of related locations)

No, if you...

  • Target customers nationally or across multiple unrelated regions
  • Sell online to anywhere-in-the-UK e-commerce buyers
  • Need a complex multi-location programme (10+ locations or franchises)
  • Want primarily content marketing or link building at scale

If that's you, see our SEO retainers from £750/mo instead.

What's included at £500/mo

Google Business Profile

Profile optimisation, category alignment, photos, services, Q&A and weekly Google Posts. We keep the profile current and respond promptly to attribute changes that affect rankings.

UK citations

Consistent NAP (name, address, phone) across the UK directory landscape - Yell, Bing Places, Apple Business Connect, sector-specific directories and the citations Google actually values for local trust.

Reviews & reputation

A sustainable review-generation process that goes to every customer, professional response templates for both positive and critical reviews, and monthly reporting on volume and sentiment.

Local content

Service-area landing pages, location pages and locally relevant articles - the content map-pack-adjacent rankings depend on. Written by people in the UK, not templated.

Local technical health

LocalBusiness schema, mobile speed (where most local searches happen), embedded maps done right, and the technical fundamentals that stop your site getting in its own way.

Monthly reporting

Plain-English monthly reports covering map-pack rankings, GBP insights, review activity and the work we did. Direct dashboard access so you can verify everything yourself.

What our SEO clients say

Verified reviews from the businesses we've helped grow their search visibility.

Quality guarantee - your first month, on us if we do not deliver

If Red Eagle Tech fails to deliver the agreed first-month Local SEO deliverables to the standards in your signed scope, request a refund of your first monthly fee. A short triage call and 14-day right-to-cure apply, plus the usual customer obligations. Excludes the audit and applies to new customers only - full terms in our terms and conditions.

Shorter commitment than most

Industry standard is 6-12 month contracts. We recommend just 3 months initially - enough time for the GBP and citation work to start moving the needle. After that, you're month-to-month with 30 days' notice.

Where local SEO really pays

Around 46% of Google searches have local intent, and 76% of people who do a local search visit a business within 24 hours. Strong Local SEO turns search into customers in days, not months.

Frequently asked questions

For most service-area businesses with a reasonable starting position, expect to see meaningful map-pack movement within 3-6 months. Newer or low-authority profiles can take longer.

Local rankings depend on three things: relevance (what you do), proximity (where you are), and prominence (how well-known and well-reviewed you are). Of those, prominence is the one we can move fastest - by tidying up your Google Business Profile, building real citations across UK directories and helping you earn genuine reviews. The audit will give you an honest forecast for your specific area and competition.

We help you build a sustainable review-generation process and respond to reviews on your behalf if you'd like - but we don't fake reviews or use review-gating tactics that breach Google's guidelines.

Fake or incentivised reviews are a fast route to a Google Business Profile suspension, and the recovery process can take weeks. We set up review request flows that go to all your customers, help you respond professionally to negatives, and report on review volume and sentiment monthly. The goal is real reviews from real customers, not a short-term rating boost.

The £500/mo Local plan covers one Google Business Profile and one geographic area. Multi-location work is scoped separately - usually through a Custom programme.

If you have 2-5 locations within a defined region, we can often handle it within a Growth retainer (£750/mo) with light Local emphasis. If you've got 10+ locations or multi-region coverage, that's a Custom programme - the work is genuinely different because of multi-location citation hygiene, schema and content. Book a call and we'll scope it honestly.

We can help with reinstatement work as part of the audit, but suspensions vary in cause and difficulty - we'll be honest about your chances before we start.

Common causes are address inconsistencies, category mismatches, fake reviews you didn't write, or sometimes nothing you did at all. Reinstatement involves a careful appeals process and sometimes multiple rounds with Google support. We charge audit and remediation work transparently - it's not magic, and we won't promise an outcome we can't control.

Local SEO builds a lasting asset. Google Ads (including Local Service Ads) gives you immediate visibility but stops the moment you stop paying. The best answer for most local businesses is both - with Local SEO as the long-term foundation.

Local Service Ads are pay-per-lead and sit above the map pack, which makes them powerful for immediate enquiries. But the cost per lead doesn't fall over time - it usually rises as more competitors join. Local SEO builds the kind of map-pack and review presence that brings in enquiries without per-click fees. We don't run Google Ads ourselves, but we'll happily tell you when paid would help while your organic work compounds.

For very small, single-location businesses with a few hours a month to spare and a willingness to learn, yes - and we'd cheerfully point you at our free local SEO guide as a starting point.

What we tend to find is that local business owners can do the basics (claim and verify the profile, ask customers for reviews, write the about page) but get stuck on the work that actually moves rankings: citation hygiene across UK directories, schema implementation, sustained content output and the technical health of the site itself. That's where £500/mo bought from us tends to outperform 5 hours/month of DIY - it's not the time, it's the depth and consistency.

£500/mo covers Google Business Profile optimisation, UK citation building, review-generation support, local content, local technical SEO and monthly reporting for one Google Business Profile and one defined service area.

What it doesn't cover: paid advertising spend (Google Ads, Local Service Ads), multi-location programmes (those go into Growth or Custom retainers), website builds and major redesign work (our web design service handles that), or work outside the UK. If you need any of those, we'll quote them separately during the audit.

Local SEO focuses on map-pack visibility and proximity-driven "near me" search for businesses serving a defined geographic area. National SEO competes on broader keyword landscapes for businesses targeting the whole UK or beyond.

The work is genuinely different. Local SEO leans heavily on Google Business Profile, citations, reviews and locally relevant content. National SEO leans on broader content programmes, link building at scale, and competing on competitive non-geographic keywords. If you're targeting customers nationally rather than in a defined area, our Growth (£750/mo) and Pro (£2,000/mo) retainers are built for that work instead.
