How Google decides who shows in the map pack
Google uses three factors for local rankings: relevance (how well your profile matches the search), distance (how close you are to the searcher) and prominence (reviews, links and overall reputation). You can’t move your building, so we focus on relevance and prominence.
Local SEO and AI assistants
When someone asks ChatGPT or Gemini for a local recommendation, the answer is often built from Google Business Profile data, reviews and directory listings. Strong local SEO also improves how AI tools describe your business.

Questions people ask us
Straight answers. If yours isn’t here, ask us directly.
How long does local SEO take?
Many businesses see map ranking improvements within four to eight weeks after their Google Business Profile is optimised. Competitive areas may take three to six months.
Do I need a physical address for local SEO?
You need a verified address for a Google Business Profile, but service-area businesses can hide it and show the areas they serve instead.
Can you remove negative reviews?
We can flag reviews that break Google’s policies, but genuine reviews can’t be removed. We help you respond professionally and grow positive reviews.
Do you handle multiple locations?
Yes. We manage profiles, location pages and reporting for multi-location businesses.
Is local SEO different from regular SEO?
Yes. Regular SEO targets organic results for broad searches. Local SEO targets the map pack and location-based searches, with heavy focus on the Google Business Profile and reviews.
