What is Local SEO?
Local SEO is all about increasing search visibility for businesses that serve their communities face-to-face.

Local SEO includes everything from claiming a business listing and confirming it appears in a local search on Google. It also extends to managing online ratings and reviews, local-centric social media engagement, local information and beyond.

- Make sure you can be found on the map listing, and have created plenty of citations

What Our Clients Say About Us
Thanks for the social media support, the work that you do helps free up my time and become more productive.
Great Stuff
Always quality leads. A very honest and open company. No faff and leads that convert. Very reliable
Geoff’s one of the few people who do actually operate "outside of the box"
After our chance meeting last autumn we have worked together on a few projects, one of which is very exciting…Watch this space! The recent LinkedIn training that Geoff provided for me was insightful to say the least, whilst not professing to be a “LinkedIn Guru” to see his perspective has certainly opened my eyes not only to this platform but all marketing and communication channels. I would recommend Geoff without hesitation
I would like to recommend Geoff to anyone who wishes not only to take their company to a different level but to take it to a different dimension. Geoff is someone who not only gets you thinking outside the box where necessary he also coaches you how to improve and expand the box from within. This means that improvements cause the minimum of internal disruption whilst having the greatest external effects. The approach is structured but flexible, with a large element of control and planning, and is thus adaptable for all situations
The team here have given me some great advice about starting up a business and to get me to a level where any future campaign I do with them will be a success. It is early days in our relationship but I have every confidence the team at SemLocal can help me achieve my goals.
I have spent some time with Geoff and learnt quite a lot of new new ideas on how to promote our business online. we will continue to talk with Semlocal about our business and we how to build a long term relationship.
Great guy. Has an excellent approach which allows him to understand your business and the resources and systems which need to be in place to allow the business to flourish and grow. Especially effective within the sales and marketing process. Would highly recommend his services.
