How Local Search Differs

Local search results aren't the same algorithm as regular search.

Map-pack placement weighs your Google Business Profile, review signals and citation consistency alongside your website — a technically perfect site with an inconsistent business listing still underperforms locally.

Questions about local SEO

What's different about ranking locally.

Local SEO adds Google Business Profile optimisation, citation consistency and map-pack ranking factors on top of standard technical and content SEO.

If you have more than one physical location or clearly defined service area, yes — a shared generic page usually underperforms compared to one built around each area's actual search intent.

Review volume, recency and your response rate are meaningful ranking factors in the map pack, alongside profile completeness and citation accuracy.

Yes, for defined service-area businesses — but the profile and page structure need to be set up correctly for a service-area business rather than a storefront.
