Google rankings and local SEO
Local SEO across Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Dorset: the searches that bring paying customers, your Google Business Profile, and the technical work underneath.

We do local SEO for businesses across Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Dorset: the searches that bring paying customers, your Google Business Profile, reviews, and the technical work underneath the site.
The searches that matter, not the ones that look good
It is easy to rank for terms nobody buys from, and to put them in a report. We go after the searches that end in a booking, a quote or a phone call — which are usually fewer, more specific and more local than a vanity keyword list.
Green Stripe Lawn Care is the clearest proof of what that is worth: a one-van trade in Widemouth Bay, covering a 40-mile radius, competing with national franchises locally.
Local search is its own discipline
For most South West businesses the map pack matters more than the blue links. That means your Google Business Profile treated as a live asset rather than something filled in once, categories and service areas set properly, and a steady flow of real reviews.
It also means the site itself being unambiguous about where you are and what you cover. A 25-mile radius and a 40-mile radius are different businesses to Google.
The technical work underneath
Rankings sit on top of things nobody sees: how fast the pages load on a phone, whether the markup tells Google what kind of business this is, whether the site is crawlable and internally linked, whether the important pages are more than three clicks from the homepage.
None of it is glamorous and all of it is load-bearing.
