For businesses with a regional catchment area, local findability decides a large share of enquiries. This category covers both: the general basics of search engine optimisation — page titles and descriptions, structure and internal linking, indexability, structured data — and the local specifics: the Google business profile, consistent address and contact details across directories, reviews, location and catchment pages. We show how to choose search terms realistically, how to measure results and how to notice when effort is flowing in the wrong direction. Where figures appear, the source is named; rankings are deliberately not promised. We additionally cover how to distribute search terms and content across several locations without your own pages competing with each other.
