      I desperately needed a complete overhaul of my website, as the hosting page builder I was using just wasn’t delivering the professional finish I wanted and it was keeping me up at night! Dotwall are based locally, which made reaching out super easy. Ben has been brilliant from start to finish with such a great attention to detail— he’s transformed my site to look sleek and professional, and it now it goes above and beyond the quality I expected. Really pleased with the result. Thank you!

      We are now into our third year working with POD Digital, who manage both our SEO and PPC campaigns. Throughout this time, they’ve been an absolute pleasure to work with — always approachable, professional, and clear in their communication.Recently, we had a brand new website built by POD Digital, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Not only does the site look fantastic, but it also performs brilliantly. As a business with limited knowledge of digital marketing, we’ve really appreciated the time and care the team has taken to explain everything to us in a way we could easily understand.The results we’ve achieved over the last three years speak for themselves, and we’re extremely impressed with the continued growth and success of our online presence thanks to POD Digital.We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them!

      We've been working with POD since the beginning of this year and cannot rate the team highly enough! We've had bad experiences with marketing agencies in the past and felt as though we'd wasted huge amounts of money on ineffective marketing. We were hesitant to trust another agency but POD have transformed our marketing. We work closely with their SEO and paid teams who are experts in their fields and we genuinely continue to see results month on month. This confidence in their abilities and expertise has led us to start exploring email marketing and socials with them to further grow our business. If you're considering a marketing agency or looking to switch, we couldn't recommend POD more, you won't regret it! MediZen

      Solar on steroids has been working with the Assisted team for about a year now on a collaborative project.We were invited to quote for a project that we didn't have the capacity and resources to fulfil ourselves and therefore, went out to market to find a provider on behalf of the client.We spoke to 5-6 different full service agencies and Assisted stood head and shoulders above the rest.Kate was super helpful during the sales & scoping stage, helping us with many many different amendments, tweaks and patiently putting up with some delays and unforeseen circumstances.Once the project began, we had Lorna as our account manager and all round organisational superstar.Nothing goes unchecked, actions always provided, team coordinated, communications streamlined. Its just a super slick operation and when making the introduction to our client, we were confident that they were in good hands.The project has had a pretty extensive scope that is now being expanded even further, due to the great results.We've had great support from Sam, Danica, Tierney & Craig on the SEO, Content & Digital PR side. Super knowledgable, friendly and responsive. Coming up with really good ideas and always more than happy to chip in to help, even when things come up that are outside of their remit.Matt squared (Matt C & Matt B) have been smashing it on the paid media side, Google & Bing Ads particularly.Row is Assisted's LinkedIn superstar, running paid media and guiding us on organic for the platform.Nicks also been great, chipping into strategy and helping us coordinate the scope for the wider company.All this is great but it would just be fluff without results.Overall, Assisted have generated a pipeline of £59m over about 6 months for our client. A significant amount of which has already closed. The client is very happy with the progress and having not invested in digital marketing to this extent before, has been impressed with how quickly things have picked up.They've done all this while building great relationships, being super pleasant and reliable to work with throughout both as a company and as individuals.Its no wonder that the client is looking to have them 'assist' with two other branches of the business.Looking forward to working together even more in the future!

Frequently Asked Questions

What services does a local SEO agency offer?

It provides specialized search engine optimization and digital marketing services designed to help businesses appear in Google Search, Google Maps, and other local search results when potential customers look for nearby services. 

The goal is to increase visibility, drive traffic, and convert local searchers into local customers.

  • Google Business Profile optimization: Creating or claiming the Google Business Profile, selecting the correct categories, adding photos, services, and products, optimizing descriptions and business attributes, managing Q&A and updates, and monitoring insights and engagement
  • Local keyword research: Conducting keyword research to determine what people search for in a specific city, region, or service area, such as "plumber in San Diego", "Atlanta SEO services", "best dentist near me", "web design New York City". The research identifies high-intent keywords that drive local customer traffic and guides the agency's SEO strategy.
  • Website optimization: Local SEO companies optimize a business website, so it can rank in both organic search results and location-based searches. 
  • Technical SEO: Website audits, page speed improvements, mobile optimization, schema markup for local businesses, internal linking improvements, and local landing page creation.
  • Local link building: Building backlinks through local media coverage, partnerships with community organizations, local sponsorships, content marketing, and digital PR.
  • Local landing page creation: For businesses targeting multiple cities or service areas, agencies create location-specific landing pages, such as "SEO services in Los Angeles", "web design agency in New York City", "home services in San Diego".
  • Content marketing for local search: Providing content marketing services that target local keywords and answer common search queries.
  • Local citations and directory listings: Building and managing local citations, i.e., mentions of a business's name, address, and phone number (NAP) across directories and platforms, including Apple Maps, Bing Places, Yelp, local business directories, and industry directories.
  • Review and reputation management: Monitoring reviews across platforms, responding to customer feedback, implementing strategies to generate more reviews, and analyzing review sentiment for insights.

What is the difference between local SEO and SEO?

The main difference between local SEO and general search engine optimization (SEO) is the geographic focus of the search results.

Search engine optimization aims to improve a website's visibility in Google Search for broad keywords that can attract users from anywhere. It focuses on tactics such as technical SEO, content marketing, and backlink building to rank in global or national search results.

Local SEO focuses on helping a local business appear in local search results, especially in Google Maps and the Google Business Profile listings. It targets location-based queries such as "home services near me" or "web design in New York City," leveraging strategies including Google Business Profile optimization, local citations, and location-specific keyword research.

The difference is important because local search behavior is extremely common:

  • About 46% of all Google searches have local intent.
  • 86% of people look up business locations on Google Maps, and 42% of local searches click results in the Google Map Pack.

How much do local SEO services cost?

Local SEO services costs vary widely depending on the level of competition, the number of locations, and the scope of search engine optimization work required.

Businesses can expect to pay between $300 and $3,000 per month for most small and mid-sized businesses targeting local search results in Google Search and Google Maps.

According to multiple local SEO company sources, businesses in the United States usually pay a monthly retainer model: 

  • Basic packages: $300-$900/month for Google Business Profile optimization, local citations, and basic keyword research.
  • Mid-tier local SEO services: $600-$2,000/month for technical SEO, content marketing, and broader local search optimization.
  • Advanced campaigns: $2,000-$5,000+ per month for competitive markets or multi-location local businesses.

Other pricing models that a local search engine optimization company may offer include:

  • Hourly consulting: $75-$250 per hour for SEO specialists.
  • One-time projects: $500-$5,000 depending on the scope of the SEO strategy. 

How do local SEO companies measure results and provide transparent reporting?

They measure performance using data from Google Search, Google Maps, and Google Business Profile to track visibility in local search results. Core metrics include keyword rankings, website traffic, and user engagement with listings.

Local SEO agencies monitor actions such as profile views, website clicks, phone calls, and direction requests through Google Business Profile Insights to determine whether an SEO strategy is improving visibility and attracting local customers.

To ensure transparent reporting, agencies typically deliver monthly reports that show trends in rankings, traffic, conversions, and reputation signals such as review growth and average star ratings. Reports may also include conversion data, like form submissions or phone calls, to show how search visibility translates into real leads.

How does Google Business Profile optimization improve local search rankings?

Google Business Profile optimization helps businesses rank higher in local search results and Google Maps by improving the relevance, completeness, and credibility of a listing. Google uses relevance, distance, and prominence to determine which businesses appear in local results, and an optimized profile helps signal that a local business is active and trustworthy.

Optimized profiles include accurate categories, services, photos, business descriptions, and consistent contact information. 

According to Google, listings with photos receive 42% more requests for directions and 35% more website clicks than businesses without images. Additionally, review management plays a key role: businesses with strong ratings and frequent reviews tend to rank higher and attract more local customers.
