Local SEO that puts your business on the map.
When someone nearby searches for what you offer, three businesses appear in the map box at the top of Google — and those three get the calls. Our local SEO service is built around one outcome: getting your business into that map pack and keeping it there.
Trusted by local businesses
Getting fewer local enquiries than you should?
“My competitor shows up on Google Maps and I don’t. I’ve been trading longer than them.”
“I set up a Google Business Profile once and never touched it again. Nobody told me that was a problem.”
“People in my area are searching for what I offer. They’re just not finding me.”
“I tried sorting local SEO myself and have no idea if anything I did made a difference.”
The work that moves local rankings, in plain sight.
Google Business Profile optimisation
We optimise every field — categories, services, photos, description, attributes — so Google knows exactly what you offer and which local searches to show you for.
Local citations and clean-up
Consistent name, address, and phone across the directories Google trusts. Conflicting listings directly weaken your local rankings — we fix them.
On-page local SEO
Location-specific pages with locally targeted headings, keyword-led copy, local schema, and internal linking that reinforces your geographic relevance.
Review generation
A simple, Google-compliant system for earning real reviews and responding to them — among the strongest local ranking signals there is.
AI and voice search readiness
Conversational content, FAQ schema, and clean local entity data so you surface in voice queries and AI answers from Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity.
Monthly local reporting
Map-pack positions, GBP impressions, call clicks, and direction requests in a plain monthly report. You always know where you stand.

What our clients say.
“I’ve been working with RunWeb since 2019 for web design & SEO and it has been a pleasure. I have referred them to a dozen people and all of them have been very glad I made that recommendation.”
“RunWeb’s work is nothing but exceptional. Our site had a former web agency who was not responsive. RunWeb is extremely responsive and communicates their ideas and any issues that arise.”
“RunWeb can whip up a pretty impressive website in record time. They were very prompt in responding and kept us in the loop on what they needed and how long things would take.”

Local SEO — your questions, answered.
How long does local SEO take to show results?+
GBP optimisation and citation fixes often produce visible map-pack movement within four to eight weeks. Improving local organic rankings typically takes three to five months. We set clear expectations for your specific area from the first call.
How important are Google reviews for local rankings?+
Very. Review volume, recency, and your response rate are all direct local ranking factors. Businesses with a steady stream of recent, responded-to reviews consistently outrank those with fewer in the same area.
What is a local citation and why does it matter?+
A citation is any online mention of your business name, address, and phone number. When those details are consistent across directories, Google trusts your information and ranks you higher locally.
Do I need a website for local SEO to work?+
A well-optimised Google Business Profile can bring calls on its own, but a website significantly improves both your rankings and your conversion rate. If you don’t have one, we can build it too.
Do you guarantee number-one rankings?+
No — and you should be wary of anyone who does. Rankings depend on factors no agency controls. We guarantee the work, the transparency, and steady, measurable progress.
Can I cancel at any time?+
Yes. Rolling monthly agreements with no minimum term and no exit fees. We keep clients by producing results they can see in the report every month.
Your competitors are showing up in local results. You should be too.
