Everything you need to know about working with a local SEO specialist across different cities and countries.
Yes. I work with local service businesses across the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Netherlands, UAE, Ireland, and New Zealand. Local SEO principles are consistent across markets. The citation sources, directories, and consumer search behaviour vary by country, and I account for those differences in every campaign.
Yes. Local SEO is done entirely remotely. I have ranked businesses in Austin, Toronto, Sydney, Los Angeles, and Amsterdam without visiting any of those cities. What matters is understanding the local search landscape, the right citation sources for that market, and the competitive signals in that specific location — all of which I research thoroughly before starting any campaign.
The UK is my primary market. I am also highly experienced in the USA, Canada, and Australia, where I have active case studies with documented results. I have also run successful campaigns in the Netherlands, UAE, Ireland, and New Zealand.
The core Google Maps algorithm is the same globally — proximity, relevance, and prominence. What differs is the citation ecosystem. The USA uses platforms like Yelp, Angi, and BBB. The UK uses Yell, Checkatrade, and TrustATrader. UK consumers trust Google reviews most, while US consumers split between Google and Yelp depending on the industry. I tailor every campaign to the local market.
Yes. Multi-location and service area businesses are a significant part of my client base. I create dedicated location pages for each city or neighbourhood, set up the GBP service area correctly, and build citations that reflect the full coverage zone. This approach produces consistent Map Pack rankings across multiple locations simultaneously.
Almost certainly yes. The cities listed on this page are where I have documented case studies or active campaigns. I accept clients from any English-speaking market and many non-English-speaking markets. Request a free audit and I will assess whether I can help you in your specific location.
