Google & local SEO
Google Business Profile, Maps and search: the basics most businesses get wrong, done properly.
→ turns searches into visits and calls
Why it matters
When someone searches 'car dealer near me' or your business name, what they find decides whether they visit. Most local businesses get this catastrophically wrong: outdated hours, three photos from 2019, unanswered reviews.
We set up and run your Google presence properly — profile, Maps, photos, posts, categories, the lot — so the buyers already searching for what you sell actually find you, and like what they find.
What's included
- Google Business Profile, set up properly
- Maps presence — where local buyers search
- Photography that sells the visit
- Categories, services and hours dialled in
- Search-ready site structure and copy
- Monthly updates so it never goes stale
What this looks like in your business
Not theory — the actual moments this part of the engine wins for you.
The 8pm 'open now' search
A buyer searches 'used cars near me' after dinner. Your profile shows tomorrow's opening time, forty fresh photos and a 4.9 rating — theirs shows a phone number that rings out. Guess who gets the visit.
Winning the Maps pack
The three businesses in the map box get the clicks; everyone below fights for scraps. Categories, reviews, photos and posts are what put you in that box — we run all four.
Photos that do the selling
We replace the blurry 2019 shopfront shot with photography that makes the place look the way it feels: the forecourt full, the showroom lit, the team real.
