LOCAL SEO
Local SEO in Ireland — Turn Local Visibility Into Real Enquiries
Our consultancy-led local SEO service helps Irish businesses dominate Google’s local pack, Google Maps, and ‘near me’ searches. We combine strategic planning with hands-on implementation to ensure your business shows up when local customers are searching and that those searches turn into genuine enquiries and sales.
The Local SEO Challenges Irish Businesses Face
Invisible in Google Maps
Your competitors appear in the local pack for key searches while your business is nowhere to be found, costing you daily enquiries from ready-to-buy local customers.
Paying for SEO but Seeing No Local Results
You’ve invested in SEO services but they’ve focused on generic rankings instead of the local visibility and map placements that actually drive foot traffic and calls.
Inconsistent Business Information Online
Your business details vary across directories, Google, and social platforms confusing both search engines and customers trying to find or contact you.
Getting Traffic but Wrong Geography
Your website attracts visitors from outside your service area while local customers who could actually buy never find you in their search results.

FAQS
Local SEO — Your Questions Answered
Common questions about local SEO strategy, timelines, and what Irish businesses can expect.
What exactly is local SEO and how is it different from regular SEO?
Local SEO focuses on improving visibility in location-based searches from the Google local pack, Google Maps, and organic results for searches like “plumber Cork” or “solicitor near me.” While regular SEO targets broad national rankings, local SEO prioritizes searches from your actual service area through Google Business Profile optimization, local citations, location-specific content, and local backlinks that signal geographic relevance to Google.
How long does it take to see results from local SEO?
Most Irish businesses see improvements within 6-12 weeks, particularly in Google Business Profile visibility and local pack rankings. Timelines vary based on your starting point and competition level. Quick fixes like profile optimization can show results within weeks, while building broader authority through citations and content typically takes 3-6 months. We’ll provide realistic timelines during your consultation based on your specific situation.
Do I need a physical address in every location I want to rank for?
Not necessarily. Service area businesses (SABs) like plumbers and consultants can hide their address and still rank by properly configuring Google Business Profile service areas. However, physical locations do provide ranking advantages. The key is creating location-specific landing pages, building appropriate citations, and demonstrating genuine service delivery through content, reviews, and local backlinks.
What’s the difference between local SEO and just having a Google Business Profile?
Your Google Business Profile is one component of local SEO. Comprehensive local SEO includes website technical optimization, location-specific landing pages, consistent citations across Irish directories, LocalBusiness schema markup, local backlinks, review management, and content targeting local search intent. A profile alone won’t help if your website is slow, citations are inconsistent, or competitors are building more comprehensive local authority.
