Our Services
We specialise in local business SEO audits built for measurable commercial outcomes. Each audit examines a distinct aspect of your online performance, from crawl efficiency to brand authority in local search results.
On-Page SEO Audit
A strong on-page foundation defines how search engines interpret your content. Our audit evaluates every technical and content element influencing ranking—from page titles and headers to schema markup and keyword distribution. We look beyond basic metadata to identify deeper alignment issues that dilute your topical authority.
This includes internal link structure, crawl depth, and page hierarchy—critical signals for consistent visibility. By addressing these gaps, your website becomes easier for both users and search engines to interpret, resulting in more qualified organic traffic and higher engagement metrics.
Problem: Poor page relevance confuses search engines and pushes your site below local competitors.
Solution: We identify every technical and content issue affecting visibility, then recommend page-level fixes supported by performance metrics.
Outcome: Clients typically see a 25–40% lift in organic impressions within 60 days after implementing recommendations.
Google Business Profile Evaluation
Your Google Business Profile determines how often you appear in local map packs and search results. We assess categories, NAP accuracy, visual assets, reviews, and engagement signals. Our analysis extends to your posting frequency, keyword inclusion, and review response patterns, factors that influence your local credibility.
A strong, correctly configured profile doesn’t just improve visibility; it also increases direct calls, direction requests, and user trust within your service area.
Problem: Inconsistent or incomplete profiles reduce map pack rankings.
Solution: We compare your listing with high-ranking competitors and deliver corrective actions that raise local visibility.
Outcome: Improved map pack exposure typically increases inbound calls by up to 35%.
Citation and Directory Consistency Audit
Local SEO performance relies heavily on accurate citations. We conduct a full-scale scan of your business information across key directories such as Yelp, Bing, Apple Maps, and niche industry sites. Our audit identifies discrepancies in your name, address, phone number, and category alignment, elements that directly impact how Google validates your business identity.
By ensuring consistent data across platforms, we strengthen your authority and reduce ranking volatility in local results.
Problem: Conflicting business details erode Google’s trust.
Solution: We create a correction file for each inconsistent source.
Outcome: Corrected listings strengthen local authority and deliver measurable ranking stability within 90 days
Technical SEO Health Check
A technically sound site allows Google to crawl, interpret, and index your content efficiently. Our technical audit reviews server response codes, site speed, mobile experience, and internal linking depth. We use diagnostic tools to detect crawl errors, index bloats, and render-blocking elements that restrict visibility.
Fixing these structural issues ensures every page meets core web vitals standards—an essential ranking signal in competitive local markets.
Problem: Search engines abandon pages they cannot properly read.
Solution: We provide detailed technical recommendations, including site-speed optimisation, mobile readiness adjustments, and XML sitemap repair.
Outcome: Clients typically experience a 20% faster crawl rate and smoother ranking recovery in competitive local searches.
Keyword & Content Relevance Audit
Your keyword strategy must reflect actual search behaviour in your target geography. We assess how well your pages match intent-based queries and localised keyword opportunities. Our audit analyses content depth, topical authority, and internal keyword mapping to ensure every section supports your core business goals.
By aligning keyword focus with user demand, we increase your ability to rank for terms that drive profitable leads, not empty clicks.
Problem: Targeting high-volume but low-intent terms wastes time and advertising spend.
Solution: Our audit isolates profitable long-tail local queries and recommends precise placement in titles, headings, and service descriptions.
Outcome: Expect stronger ranking stability for intent-based keywords and an average 18% increase in qualified traffic.
Competitor Benchmark Report
Competition defines your visibility ceiling. Our benchmark reports compare your domain performance with top local rivals across rankings, backlinks, content authority, and Google reviews.
We measure keyword overlap, link acquisition velocity, and content depth to identify quick wins and long-term improvement areas. This comparison transforms raw data into actionable intelligence that supports data-informed SEO investment decisions.
Problem: Without benchmarking, it’s impossible to identify opportunity gaps.
Solution: Our report quantifies where you stand relative to others and reveals the easiest wins for market share growth.
Outcome: Clients often achieve 2–3 new top-three keyword positions within 90 days of implementing competitor insights.
Backlink Profile Analysis
Your backlink profile signals authority and relevance to search engines. We analyse every referring domain, assessing quality, anchor text variety, and link toxicity. Our process distinguishes between beneficial authority links and harmful connections that trigger algorithmic downgrades.
By cleaning and rebuilding your link ecosystem, we help your website regain trust and improve organic stability.
Problem: Spammy links drag down domain authority and risk algorithmic penalties.
Solution: We deliver a disavow file and recommend safe outreach strategies for link replacement.
Outcome: Healthier link profiles often contribute to 15% better organic positioning within two months.
