 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I approached Geoff on a recommendation normally I'm quite sceptical when using a company I've not heard of but I'm so happy I did!! His work ethics and honesty was a breath of fresh air. Especially after having a bad experience with another company. I cannot praise him enough! And I will certainly use his services again if needed. 😊😊

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Trustindex. lack of correspondence. Im not really one for leaving negative reviews, but will just leave the facts and you can decide. Made contact with Geoff, everything was positive I explained that I have tried SEO many times but they  never delved on there words. I decided to take a chance on Semlocal, however after almost 8 weeks I have canceled the arrangement. The main reason for this is a almost no contact with them, no updates, no emails or phone calls informing me what they are doing in the background, unless i contacted them, and even then they didn't really have much to update. Let me be clear my reason for cancelling is a total lack of correspondence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Yell. I was struggling to get my business visible on Google Maps until I contacted with GBP manager. They optimized my listing perfectly and now I get regular customer inquiries directly from Google! Excellent service and communication throughout.
