What Is Local SEO
Be the business they find first.
Local SEO is the process of optimising your online presence so your business appears when people nearby search for what you offer.
That means showing up in Google Maps, the Local Pack, and local organic results, not just on your website.
For trades, service businesses and local shops across Kent, it’s one of the highest-return marketing channels available. People searching “plumber near me” or “electrician in Canterbury” are ready to buy, and you just need to be in front of them.

Local Organic Rankings
Beyond Maps, we target local keywords in organic search so your website ranks for the terms your customers are actually typing.
"Near Me" Searches
Mobile searches with local intent are growing every year. We make sure your business is visible to people searching on the go in your area.
About Us
Ben Nuttall, Founder, East Kent SEO
Every client I work with gets me directly, not a junior account manager. I’ve spent 7 years understanding what actually moves the needle for local businesses in Kent, and I bring that to every campaign I run.
What We Do
Three pillars. Local SEO success.
All three are included across every package. Here’s exactly what we do and why it matters.
Pillar 01
Google Business Profile Management
Your GBP is your digital shopfront: the first thing customers see on Google Maps and Search. Most businesses set it up once and forget it. We keep it active, accurate and optimised every single month.
- Full profile setup & optimisation
- Weekly Google posts & updates
- Category and service optimisation
- Photo and Q&A management
- Performance insights & reporting
- Multi-location management (Premium)
Pillar 02
Review Generation & Management
Reviews are one of the strongest local ranking signals, and the first thing a potential customer looks at. We build a consistent system to generate new reviews, monitor them, and respond professionally on your behalf.
- Personalised review request templates
- WhatsApp & email follow-up sequences
- Response management
- Negative review handling strategy
- Automated review generation (Premium)
- Review performance tracking
Pillar 03
On-Page & Technical Local SEO
Getting found locally isn’t just about your GBP. Your website needs to be technically sound, keyword-targeted, and structured so Google understands exactly who you are, where you are, and what you do.
- Local keyword research & mapping
- Location landing pages
- Schema markup & structured data
- Technical audit & fixes
- Internal linking strategy
- Core Web Vitals & mobile optimisation
How It Works
Why Local SEO, and how we run it.
Reason 01
High-intent traffic
People searching locally are ready to act. They’re not browsing: they need a plumber, a mechanic, an accountant. Local SEO puts you in front of buyers, not browsers.
Reason 02
Compounding returns
Unlike paid ads that stop the moment you stop paying, Local SEO builds a permanent asset. Rankings earned this month keep delivering leads next month and next year.
Reason 03
Beat the competition
Most of your competitors are doing Local SEO poorly or not at all. The businesses that act now will own their local market online for years: the window to get ahead is now.
01
Discovery Call
30 minutes to understand your business, your local area, and your goals. I’ll tell you honestly what’s possible and what to expect.
02
Full Local SEO Audit
A complete audit of your website, Google Business Profile, existing citations, and local competitors, then a clear prioritised roadmap.
03
Ongoing Optimisation
Monthly implementation, a video report with your actual numbers, and a catch-up call whenever you want one. No surprises, no jargon.

How long does Local SEO take to work?
Most clients start seeing meaningful movement in Google Maps within 6–12 weeks. Organic rankings typically take 3–6 months depending on your industry and competition. We focus on quick wins first: GBP optimisation and citation fixes often produce visible results within the first month.
Do I need a website to do Local SEO?
Not necessarily: a well-optimised Google Business Profile alone can generate significant local visibility. However, having a website dramatically increases the results we can achieve, especially for organic rankings and conversion.
Are there long-term contracts?
No. All packages are month-to-month. You stay because the results are there, not because you’re locked in. I recommend a minimum of 3 months to see meaningful results, but there’s no contractual obligation beyond that.
What’s the difference between Local and National SEO?
Local SEO targets customers in a specific geographic area: your town, city or county. It focuses heavily on Google Maps, the Local Pack, and local keywords. National SEO targets broader UK-wide keywords and typically requires more authority and content investment.
Do you work with businesses outside Kent?
Yes: while we’re based in Faversham and specialise in Kent, we work with local businesses across the UK. If you have a local service business anywhere in England, we can help.
