Local SEO Swansea — Improve Your Google Maps Rankings

01 · Here's the thing...

You're losing work to businesses that show up first on Google

When someone in Swansea searches for a plumber, café, salon, or driving instructor, Google picks a short list. If you're not on it — or your Google Business Profile looks thin — the phone goes to someone else.

Buried on Maps

Competitors appear in the map pack while you're on page two — or not visible at all.

Profile half-finished

Wrong categories, few photos, or services missing — so Google doesn't know what to rank you for.

Website doesn't match

Your site doesn't back up your Google listing with clear local pages — so trust signals don't add up.

02 · There's a fix!

Local SEO that fits how people search in Swansea

No mystery reports. Three clear steps — profile, website, ongoing improvements.

1

Fix your Google Business Profile first

Categories, services, photos, hours, and the details Google uses for Maps. I follow Google's own guidance — no risky shortcuts.
2

Build (or tighten) local pages on your site

One strong page per core service, written for what people in Swansea actually type in — not generic filler.
3

Keep improving month to month

Reviews, posts, small content updates, and technical tidy-ups so your visibility keeps moving in the right direction.

03 · What's included

04 · Proof's in the pudding...

Real results for local businesses

Local SEO & traffic

+540%

website traffic in 3 months

For a local café — from a handful of visits a month to hundreds, which meant more visibility, and more footfall. I've also built local sites for a driving school in Swansea, worked with pubs, clubs, and other hospitality businesses further afield, law firms, retail shops, national chains, and more.

05 · Who's this for, though?

Local SEO services are a good fit if…

You rely on phone calls, bookings, or walk-ins from nearby customers
You've got a Google listing but rarely show in the map pack
You want one person in Swansea who does the work — not a rotating account manager
You're a trade, café, salon, clinic, or service business with a clear local area

06 · I've heard that before...

“I've tried SEO before and nothing happened”

That's usually one of three things: the wrong keywords, a weak Google profile, or a website Google can't trust. Local SEO fixes those in order — starting with what customers see first on Maps.

07 · Let's talk numbers

Clear pricing — no surprises

Smaller local businesses often start on the £195/month website + SEO plan — everything in one monthly fee, no upfront build cost. If you need broader SEO (multiple locations, large sites, content programmes), we'll scope that after a chat.

See the £195 website + SEO package or full pricing. For a diagnosis first, ask about an SEO audit on WhatsApp, or get in touch with me using the contact form.

Common questions

Q.How long does local SEO take to work in Swansea?

You'll often see early movement within a few weeks — things like a stronger Google Business Profile and clearer service pages. Stronger, steadier results usually build over 3–6 months as Google learns to trust your business.

Q.Do I need a new website for local SEO?

Not always. If your current site is fast, clear, and explains what you do, we can improve it. If it's slow, outdated, or missing key pages, a rebuild may be the better route — we can talk that through on WhatsApp.

Q.What's the difference between local SEO and the £195/month package?

Local SEO is the ongoing work to help you rank in Swansea and nearby — Google Business Profile, local pages, reviews, and structure. The £195/month plan is a simple all-in-one option that includes website, hosting, and local SEO for smaller businesses.

Q.Can you help if I'm outside Swansea?

Yes. I'm based in Swansea and work with businesses across South Wales and further afield. Local SEO still works — we just focus your pages and profile on the areas you actually serve.

Q.Is there a minimum commitment?

The Local SEO plan runs for a minimum of 6 months. SEO isn't a quick fix — it takes time to build visibility, earn Google's trust, and see consistent results. Six months gives us enough runway to make real progress. If you'd like to talk it through first, just get in touch.
