Ranked Local.Called Daily.

I make your business the one that shows up when someone nearby searches for what you sell. In practice: optimising your Google Business Profile so it ranks in the Map Pack, building service and location pages that match real search intent, earning reviews on a steady schedule, and fixing the tracking so you can prove which calls came from search rather than assume it.

SEO earns you a position in a list of blue links and map results. AEO, or Answer Engine Optimisation, earns you the citation inside an answer written by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google's AI Overviews. GEO, or Generative Engine Optimisation, is the layer underneath both: building a clear, corroborated entity so those systems know who you are, what you do and where you operate before they decide whether to recommend you. Most businesses need all three, in that order.

No. I'm based in London and work with businesses across the whole of the United Kingdom, from single-location clinics to multi-branch trade companies. Local search is won location by location, and the method is the same whether the pin sits in EC4 or in Leeds.

Google Business Profile fixes and review velocity usually move Map Pack positions within four to eight weeks. Organic service and location pages typically take three to six months to mature. Anyone promising you page one in thirty days is selling a report, not a phone call.

Ask them. Put your service and your town into ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini and see who gets named. If competitors appear and you don't, your entity is either incomplete or uncorroborated across the sources those models trust. That gap is exactly what a GEO audit maps, and it's the first thing I check on a free audit.

You get a prioritised fix list, ordered by what brings calls fastest rather than what's easiest to sell you. It covers where you sit in the Map Pack and organic results for the searches that actually convert, who's outranking you and why, whether your GA4 and call tracking are telling you the truth, and whether the major AI assistants mention you at all. No obligation attached.

London agency retainers for local SEO typically run between £1,000 and £4,000 a month, and a large part of that covers account management, sales and office overhead before any work happens. A consultant removes that layer, so more of the budget reaches the actual campaign. I quote after the audit rather than before it, because pricing a campaign without first seeing your Google Business Profile, your competitors and your tracking would be guesswork.

Sometimes, genuinely. If you need paid media, PR, creative and SEO running together at scale, an agency is the right shape and I will tell you so. What I would push back on is paying agency prices for work a specialist does directly, which is where most local service businesses end up. The practical difference is who does the work: at an agency it is usually a junior executive briefed by the person who sold you the contract.

All of it, and the surrounding counties. The office is at 9 New Change in the City, and I run campaigns across central, east, north, west and south London, from Shoreditch and Canary Wharf to Croydon, Brixton, Kingston and Ealing, plus Surrey, Berkshire and the commuter towns. Local rankings are won postcode by postcode, so coverage is built around the areas you actually serve rather than a borough list.

An entity is a thing a search engine can identify and state facts about, rather than a string of words it has to guess at. Entity building is the work of making your business one: one exact name, address and phone number everywhere, structured data that agrees with your visible content, and corroboration on sources Google already trusts. It is the layer underneath local SEO and AI visibility both, and it is the reason two businesses with similar websites can rank completely differently.
