Four boring jobs, not a dark art: a Google Business Profile that says what you do, your name, address and number agreeing everywhere, a page for every service, and honest pages for the towns you actually work in. I did all four for V Signs.
What you get
Categorised.
The profile says what you do. V Signs went from one category to five.
Paged.
A page per thing you sell. V Signs: twenty-one service pages, each a search landing.
Local.
Honest area pages — only for towns you really work in, inside Google's rules. Never a fake address.
Reviewed.
Every review answered, in your voice, within the week.
Measured.
Baseline captured first; monthly reports after. Nothing on the page is invented.

Add Monthly SEOLet's bark →Month one
- A competitor check: who ranks above you, and why
- A keyword map: what people search, town by town
- A baseline, so every report after it means something
- Rankings tracked for your keywords in every town
- Your Google profile optimised: categories, services, questions, photos
- Review requests sorted, and every review answered
- One new page or post on your keywords (a town, a service or a blog)
- Listings kept agreeing, Search Console fixes done
- A monthly report: what ranked, what rang, what's next
SEO takes three to six months to show. No contract, but give it three. On the Pack socials plan too? Google profile posts sit there, the rest sits here, and you get one report.
How it works
Three steps. Then you're live.
01
Baseline
I capture what's true today — profile views, calls, search terms, the listings that disagree — so the after means something.
02
Fix
The four jobs, in that order. Profile first; it's the fastest win.
03
Report
Monthly: what ranked, what rang, what changed. Numbers from Google, not from me.

Questions
Straight answers.
Do I need a Google Business Profile if I have a website?
Yes. The website gets you chosen; the profile gets you seen. A good site can sit invisible until the profile is fixed. The website packs →
Why does Google show my old phone number?
Google didn't invent it — it copied it from somewhere. Your old site, Yell, Facebook, or one of the company-data sites that publish your registered office from Companies House (often your accountant's). Google, Bing and Apple all read those. I find every copy and fix them in order, so it can't drift back.
Are town pages against Google's rules?
Fake ones are. A page per town is fine when it says something true about that town — real jobs, real drive time — and never claims an address you don't have. That's the only kind I build. What the V Signs numbers did →
How long before it works?
The profile changes show in days. Listings take weeks to propagate. Pages and towns build over months. I show you the numbers as they land. Or let the reels carry the keywords →
Can I do it myself?
The profile and the review replies, yes — and I'll tell you how. The listings and the pages are worth paying for. Send me the basics →
What do you need from me?
Access to the profile (shared safely), every old number and address, and photos of real jobs.
