The first thing you need to do to get noticed on Google is to make sure you’re on Google!
We all know the best way to find information these days is to Google it, so your Google listing really should be the centrepiece of any local online campaign.
This is where customers go to discover your business, find out what you do, when you’re open, and how to get in touch. If you don’t have a Google listing, it’s like you simply don’t exist!
Our Google Listing Optimiser service will get you setup and on your way to not just being online, but really jumping off the page.

It won’t surprise you to hear that relevant and correct information is critical for an optimised Google listing – both for being found as well as enhancing your local ranking on Google. But because the information doesn’t always come from you, it’s amazing how many mistakes there can be. Mistakes can be detrimental to your local search ranking. We have a Google validation checklist to make sure everything is spot-on accurate on an ongoing basis.
Interesting fact: Picking the right business category is a top-ranking factor within Google search. When it comes to choosing your categories, we’ll be specific. You have a much better chance to rank for “Fresh grocery store” or “Organic butchers” than for generic terms like “Shop” or “Groceries”.
If this sounds daunting, don’t worry as it’s all part of our service!

“I was launching a new bathroom showroom in Letchworth Garden City and, in one visit, Dan from Local Insights had given me a terrific amount of help. I now have a Google listing, a dashboard to manage my account and will be adding a virtual tour to my website. It’s clear that the Local Insights team is working hard to boost the profile of local businesses – which is good news for me!”
