Local SEO is about optimising your online presence to attract more business from relevant local searches.
It involves multiple methods and ideas, including creating and optimising a Google My Business listing, ensuring your website content is locally relevant, and building local backlinks
Keyword Research.
Keyword research is the backbone of any successful SEO strategy, and for businesses in Flintshire, it involves identifying the terms and phrases that local customers use when searching online.
My goal is to find keywords that not only have a high search volume but also a strong intent to purchase or engage with your business
Local keywords are particularly important for Flintshire businesses. These are phrases that include local modifiers such as “near me”, “in Flintshire”, or specific neighbourhood names.
For instance, a bakery in Mold might target keywords like “best bakery in Mold” or “fresh bread in Flintshire”.
On-page SEO is about optimising specific web pages to improve their rankings and draw in more relevant traffic from search engines.
For Flintshire companies, this means ensuring that every component of your web pages is designed for local search queries and offers a seamless user experience.
I begin with the essentials: confirm that your page titles, headers, and meta descriptions feature relevant local keywords.
This not only assists search engines in understanding your page content but also enhances click-through rates by making your listings more enticing and pertinent to local searchers.
Technical SEO
Technical SEO refers to optimising your website for the crawling and indexing phase, ensuring that search engines can effectively discover, crawl, and index your site.
For Flintshire businesses, this involves making sure that your website’s architecture is sound, pages load quickly, and the site is mobile-friendly.
Off-Page SEO
Off-page SEO refers to actions taken outside of your own website to improve your rankings within search engine results.
Building authority in the Flintshire market involves gaining high-quality backlinks from reputable local websites such as the Chamber of Commerce, engaging with the community through social media, and maintaining a positive online reputation.
Here is a great article written by Bambi Frazier of Amsive.com you can get ideas from.
Google My Business
Google My Business (GMB) is a free service that allows businesses to manage their online presence on Google, which includes Search and Maps.
For businesses in Flintshire, it is important to optimise your GMB listing to improve local visibility and attract more customers.
Start by claiming and verifying your GMB listing, ensuring that all information is correct and current.
This includes your business name, address, phone number, website, operating hours, and categories.
Offering detailed and consistent information helps search engines to better understand your business and enhances your chances of appearing in local search results.
... any questions?
What is Local SEO?
Local SEO is the process of optimising your website so it ranks as high as possible on major search engines such as Google and Google Maps
How is Local SEO different to traditional SEO?
Traditional SEO focuses on national rankings but local SEO is designed to help your business appear for location based searches such as “plumber near me” – local SEO is also known as “near me SEO”

Every client is different so there is no definitive answer however local SEO services typically include:
- On page website optimisation

- Local keyword research
- Local citation creation
- Local competitor analysis
- Website development
Will this help my business appear on Google Maps?
For definite Yes! – one of our main goals is ranking your business as high as possible on the Google map pack. Personally I believe that your Google Business Profile when fully optimised will account for about 70% of your enquiries.
How long to see results?
This is a great question and a broad stroke answer is noticeable results happen in approximately 2 to 4 months with stronger results developing over 3 to 6 months. Timeline will depend on how strong your competitors are with their SEO as well as location and your current starting position.
A great example is one of our clients Design Trade Windows of Connahs Quay and you can read about their local SEO successes here.
How do you measure success and do I get reports with updates?
Another great question! we measure success by taking a snapshot of your business on Day 1 and this will include your current positions for the following performance indicators;
- Local keyword rankings
- Visibility on Google Maps
- Website traffic from local searches
- Phone calls, direction requests and enquiry form submissions
- Google Business Profile engagement
We meet once a month in person and go over key metrics, reports and insights in how we have improved your local rankings however you can call us for a chat as often as you like.
How much do you charge for Local SEO Services?
Various factors such as your business goals, the level of competition and where you currently are with your website and results will effect our fees. Unlike some other national providers who pretend to be local we do not offer a one price fixes all as this is not a realistic scenario as all business are different and all businesses require different things.
However I can say a typical average cost per month starts from £400.
