The playbook

Not busywork. Moves that get you found.

Six levers. One job: put your business in front of people who are already looking to buy.

01 · Local dominance

Own the map pack.

Google Business Profile, citations, and local landing pages pointed at “near me” searches — so when they need you now, you’re the one that shows up.

  • Map pack & local pack visibility
  • Reviews & GBP that convert
  • City / town page strategy

02 · Intent

Hunt the money words.

We find what your best customers actually type — then build the whole strategy around those terms.

03 · Foundations

Make Google love your site.

Speed, crawlability, schema, Core Web Vitals — the boring stuff that quietly unlocks rankings.

04 · Content

Pages that rank and sell.

Not blog filler — pages built to educate, rank, and turn visitors into enquiries.

05 · Authority

Links that compound.

Relevant, high-quality backlinks that raise trust — not spammy directory noise.

Priority focus

06 · AI search

Show up in AI answers.

Structured for ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews — so you’re cited, not ignored.
