Local SEO · Oxfordshire

Local SEO in Oxfordshire to get you into the Google Maps top 3.

When people search "near me", Google shows three local businesses on a map. I help Oxford and Oxfordshire businesses get there, with an optimised Google Business Profile, more reviews and town pages that back it up.

Why it's not working

Good business, invisible on the map?

Most local businesses miss the map pack for a handful of fixable reasons, and they're rarely to do with how good the business is.

Half-finished Google profile

Wrong main category, missing services, no service areas, few photos and no posts, so Google can't tell what you do or where.

Not enough recent reviews

Competitors with steady, recent reviews look busier and more trustworthy to Google and to customers.

Mixed-up business details

Different addresses, phone numbers or names across your website, Google and directories weaken trust in your listing.

A website that doesn't back it up

No pages for your services or towns, so your Google profile has nothing strong to point to.

What I do

Everything that gets you onto the local map.

Local SEO is a set of specific, practical jobs. I fix them in order of impact, so you see results where they matter first.

Google Business Profile optimisation

The right main and secondary categories, services, service areas, description, photos, opening hours and regular posts, so Google knows exactly what you do and where.

More reviews, the right way

A simple system for asking happy customers for reviews, with short links and QR codes, plus help writing good replies that build trust.

Town and service pages

Genuinely useful pages for the services you offer and the towns you cover, rather than copy-and-paste pages, so your profile has something strong to link to.

Consistent business details

Your name, address and phone number matched across your website, Google, Apple Maps, Bing and key directories, with local schema added to your site.

FAQs

Local SEO questions.

What's the difference between local SEO and SEO?

Local SEO is about showing up for nearby customers, in the Google Maps top 3 and "near me" searches. It centres on your Google Business Profile, reviews and town pages. General SEO is about ranking your website more widely, through technical fixes, content and service pages. Many businesses need a bit of both.

How much does local SEO cost?

Ongoing local SEO starts from £100 a month. A one-off Google Business Profile tune-up is priced after a free check, and the check itself is free.

How long does it take to show up on Google Maps?

Quick fixes to your Google profile can help within a few weeks. Competitive map pack positions usually take a few months, as reviews, local pages and consistency build up.

Can you set up or fix my Google Business Profile?

Yes. I'll set the right categories, services, service areas, description, photos and opening hours, add regular posts, and link it properly to your website.

How can I get more Google reviews?

By asking every happy customer, every time, and making it easy. I'll set you up with a short review link and QR code, and give you simple wording for emails, texts and receipts.

Do I need a page for every town I cover?

Only where there's real demand and something useful to say. A few strong town pages beat dozens of copy-and-paste ones, which can actually hold you back.

Do you do local SEO outside Oxfordshire?

Yes. I work with businesses across Berkshire, the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Buckinghamshire, Somerset and Cornwall.
