The building blocks

What goes into Local SEO

NAP Consistency Checker

Compare how a business appears across listings; mismatches are highlighted.

How I do it

The process

  1. 1

    Audit

    Profiles, categories, duplicates and citation consistency.

  2. 2

    Fix

    Claim, merge duplicates, correct NAP everywhere.

  3. 3

    Enrich

    Photos, services, products, Q&A, posts.

  4. 4

    Earn

    Reviews and local links.

  5. 5

    Measure

    GBP insights + call tracking + location page conversions.

Principles I follow
  • Treat each location as its own landing page and GBP profile, with unique content.
  • Fix NAP inconsistencies first — they undermine trust signals.
  • Build a review request process into the customer journey, and respond to every review.
  • Use GBP posts and products to keep profiles active and informative.
  • Report on actions (calls, directions, website clicks), not just rankings.

Measurement

The numbers I watch

Tools I use

  • GBGoogle Business Profile
  • SCGoogle Search Console
  • G4Google Analytics (GA4)

What you get

  • GBP optimisation checklist per location
  • Citation clean-up sheet
  • Review response guidelines
  • Location page template
Multi-branch brand

Dozens of service points with inconsistent names and phone numbers online.

Create a master location sheet, correct listings in priority directories and connect each profile to a unique location page.

Illustrative example
Rating dip

Negative reviews cluster around delivery delays.

Respond publicly with resolution steps, route issues to operations, and trigger review requests after successful deliveries.

Illustrative example
Does the business address need to be shown?

Service-area businesses can hide the address; storefronts should show it.

Do keywords in the business name help?

They can, but adding them against guidelines risks suspension — use the real business name.
