Appear when they search in your area
Local SEO that fills your diary
Almost half of all Google searches have local intent. When someone searches for what you offer near them, you either appear on the map or your competition takes that client. Local SEO puts your business where purchase decisions are made.
What local SEO is and why your business needs it
Local SEO is the discipline that positions your business in searches with geographic intent: those that include a city or neighbourhood and those Google interprets as nearby ('near me', 'open now'). In those searches, Google shows the local pack — the block of three listings with a map — above traditional organic results.
For a business with a catchment area — a clinic, a workshop, a firm, a shop or a service professional — appearing there is worth more than any other position: it is traffic with very high purchase intent and one step away from a call or a visit. If you are not there, you are not competing.

Invisible on the map. The client chooses whoever does appear.

Google Business Profile optimisation
Categories, services, products, photos, opening hours, attributes and posts. We turn your listing into a showcase that generates calls and visits.

Content and monitoring

Google Business Profile: your most important local asset
The Google listing is the first thing a client searching in your area sees. Optimising it well makes the difference between appearing or not on the map.
We work on every element of your listing: primary and secondary categories, description, services and products, photographs, opening hours, attributes and periodic posts. We keep your NAP (name, address and phone) information consistent across the web and activate messages and FAQs so no client goes unanswered. A live, complete listing with recent reviews is what Google prioritises in the local pack.
Local SEO by city
We work across Spain. These are some of the cities where we have specific pages and local positioning experience.
Local SEO vs national SEO: when to choose each
They are not the same nor do they compete: they complement each other. Local SEO is ideal when your client is in a specific area and the decision depends on proximity. National SEO makes sense when you sell or serve all of Spain and compete for broader-reach keywords.
In many businesses the winning strategy combines both: local positioning to capture in your area and national SEO to build authority and reach. We help you decide where to invest first based on your market and your objectives.
Choose local SEO if…
you have a physical location or service area and your clients search by proximity.
Choose national SEO if…
you sell across Spain and compete for broad-reach keywords.
Combine both if…
you want to capture in your area and build authority at the same time.
