Local SEO & Google Business Profile
If customers can’t find you on Google Maps, you are handing your best local jobs to your competitors. We set up and optimise your Google Business Profile so it is complete, accurate and relevant to the searches Teesside customers use to find your service.

Illustrative example, not a real client result
Set up a complete, accurate Google Business Profile and a matching service page for “emergency plumber” searches in Middlesbrough.
The old way
Google usually shows them a few businesses on a map. If you aren’t one of them, most of those customers will never see you. You could have 20 years of experience and the best pricing in town, but the guy who started his business 6 months ago is getting the job because he shows up first.
Total Map Domination
We optimise your Google listing to make it the most attractive, authoritative option in your specific postcode.
We install a system that automatically extracts 5-star reviews from your happy customers, so new visitors see recent, genuine feedback.
We lock in your business details across the internet so Google trusts your business more than the guy down the street.
Local search in Teesside
Google says it ranks local results on relevance, distance and prominence. That is why someone searching “roofer near me” in Redcar sees different businesses from someone in central Middlesbrough, and why a firm based in Stockton-on-Tees can struggle to appear in Hartlepool or Billingham unless its website and profile say it works there.
Most trades have no shop, so their Google Business Profile should be a service-area business that lists the towns they cover. The website backs it up: a page for each main service, plain statements of your areas, the same name and phone number everywhere, and local business markup. Real reviews, asked for consistently, help with prominence.
For the detail, read setting up a Google Business Profile as a service area business and how to rank in Google Maps without a shop. If you would rather do the groundwork yourself, work through our local SEO checklist for small businesses, or browse our other free guides for local businesses.
Our local SEO setup covers that groundwork across Middlesbrough and Teesside for a one-off £99: Google Business Profile setup and optimisation, service and area pages, local schema and consistent business details. Many businesses pair it with web design in Middlesbrough.

In writing
We don’t charge you for useless vanity metrics. The scope and timeline for your Local SEO foundation are agreed in your written proposal, and the clock starts when we have access to your profile and website. Your Google Business Profile stays under your own account.
Before you ask
Local SEO and Google Business Profile setup is £99, one-off, excluding VAT. It covers Google Business Profile setup and optimisation, service and area page structure, local schema and technical setup, and consistent business details. There is no monthly retainer, and the scope is confirmed in writing before work begins. Every service is on the pricing page.
The setup is a one-off piece of work with a timeline agreed in your written proposal, running from when we have access to your profile and website. Results take longer and are less predictable: Google has to recrawl your pages and reassess your profile, and how quickly visibility changes depends on the competition where you work. We will not promise a date for a ranking, because nobody honestly can.
Yes. We work with businesses in Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Redcar, Billingham, Hartlepool and the wider Tees Valley. If you serve several of those towns, we set your service areas on your Google Business Profile and recommend whether any town deserves its own page. We only suggest that where there is something genuinely local to say. Our list of the Tees Valley areas we work in links to a page for each town.
You do. It stays under your own Google account, and we are given access only for as long as the work needs it. Pages and content we create for your website are yours once the agreed fees are paid.
With figures you can check yourself. Google Search Console shows which searches your pages appear for, how often, and how many people click. Your Business Profile’s performance view shows calls, website clicks and direction requests from Search and Maps. Analytics shows which pages lead to enquiries. We show you where to find these numbers and judge progress by enquiries, not positions alone. No ranking is guaranteed, by us or by anyone else.
Not always. Local SEO can sit alongside an existing site, and we will tell you honestly if the current site is what is holding you back. If it is, the multi-page website includes local keyword and page mapping from the start.
