Step 1

Free Maps Visibility Audit

Before we recommend anything, we run a structured Google Maps visibility audit. Most businesses are surprised by what it reveals — and most of the issues are straightforward to fix once you know where to look.

Geo Grid Ranking Report

We run a grid ranking check across your service area showing your position at multiple points — so you can see where you are strong, where you are weak, and how this compares to your top competitors.

Citation Error Check

We check your business name, address and phone number across the directories Google uses as trust signals. Inconsistencies — even minor formatting differences — suppress your rankings.

Review Profile Analysis

We analyse your review count, recency and response rate against your top competitors. A stagnant review profile signals low activity to Google and reduces your prominence score.

Competitor Gap Report

We benchmark your visibility against the businesses currently holding the Top 3 positions. You see the gap — and a clear picture of what it would take to close it.

Foundation first.
The setup work is what most agencies skip or rush. It is the reason our results are faster than a generalist agency — we fix the root causes, not just the surface signals.

Step 3

Ongoing Optimisation

Once the foundation is in place, the monthly retainer maintains and grows your ranking. This is where the compounding effect of local SEO begins — each month building on the last.

Monthly GBP Posts

We publish 2–6 GBP posts per month on your behalf — keeping your profile active and reinforcing your relevance signals to Google.

Citation Growth

We continue adding new citations each month — building the breadth of your local web presence and strengthening your prominence score.

Review Management

We monitor your reviews, flag anything that needs attention, and manage responses on higher plans. Your review velocity system continues running in the background.

Local Authority Building

Beyond your GBP, Google looks at the broader web to assess your local authority. We build this through local backlinks, geo-relevant content signals and community-level directory placements.

Competitor Monitoring

We track the Top 3 businesses in your market and identify any changes in their strategy — so we can respond before they pull ahead.

No minimum contract. We work on a rolling monthly basis — cancel with 30 days notice. We do not need to lock clients in because the results speak for themselves.

Step 4

More Inbound Enquiries

Once your business reaches the Top 3 in Google Maps, the enquiries become consistent and predictable. Customers searching for your service in your area see your business first — and they call.

Unlike paid ads, a Google Maps ranking does not switch off at the end of the month. Once established, it becomes a compounding asset — and each new review, citation and authority signal makes it more durable against competition.

We report progress monthly using geo grid ranking data, so you always know exactly where your business stands and what has improved.

Monthly Reporting

Every month, we send you a clear geo grid ranking report showing:

  • Your current Map Pack position across your service area
  • Movement since last month
  • Where competitors are gaining or losing ground
  • What work was completed that month
  • What is planned for the next month

No vanity metrics. No screenshots of single searches. Your actual geo grid position — the same data we use to manage your campaign.
