How Google decides local rankings

Google says local results are based mainly on three things: relevance, distance and prominence. Relevance is how well your business matches the search. Distance is how far you are from the searcher or the place they mention. Prominence is how well known and trusted your business is, based on reviews, links, mentions and your overall online presence.

You can't change where you're based, but you can make a big difference to relevance and prominence. That's where we focus.

Service-area businesses

If you travel to customers, such as plumbers, electricians, gardeners, cleaners and mobile beauticians, you can hide your home address on Google and list the areas you serve instead. We set this up correctly and support it with location pages, so you can compete across your whole patch, not just the town where you live.

FAQs

Local SEO: your questions answered

How long does local SEO take to work?

Improvements to your Google Business Profile can show results within weeks. Ranking strongly across several towns usually takes three to six months of consistent work, depending on competition.

Can I rank in towns where I don't have an office?

Yes, particularly in the regular search results with good location pages. The map pack is more influenced by distance, but service-area businesses can still compete well in surrounding towns.

Do reviews really affect rankings?

Yes. The number, quality and recency of reviews, and how you respond to them, all influence local rankings and, just as importantly, whether people choose you.

Should I create a page for every town?

Only where you genuinely serve the area and can say something useful about it. Thin, copy-and-paste town pages can do more harm than good. We write unique pages with real local detail.
