Let's discuss how we can get your local business ranking where it deserves.

Your customers are searching for you on Google right now. If a competitor shows up instead, they get the call. Nearly half of all Google searches have local intent. Someone looking for a service, near them, ready to buy. I help UK local service businesses win those searches through Google Business Profile (GBP/GMB) optimisation and local SEO. Trades, home services, local professionals. That's all I do. Recent results for clients: ✅ Paving contractor: average local ranking improved from 17 to 4 in six weeks. Top 3 map coverage grew from under 1% to 32% of their service area. Calls up 500%. ✅ Waste management company: ranked top 3 on Google Maps for their key emergency search term. Calls up 233% in five months. Website clicks up 268% in three months. ✅ Gas boiler company: cited by Google's AI results for boiler replacement searches within days of content going live. ✅ Glazing company: website clicks from Google up 280% in five months. These are real trades businesses in competitive UK markets. No shortcuts, no black-hat tricks that get profiles suspended. Just proper optimisation that Google rewards. Search is changing fast. A year ago, 6% of consumers used AI tools to find local businesses. Today it's 45% (BrightLocal, 2026). Google's own CEO says search is becoming agentic: people won't browse results, they'll send AI to complete the task for them. If ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI can't read your business properly, you're invisible to a growing share of your customers. Everything I build works for both: human searches today and AI searches tomorrow. My clients are already being cited in AI results while their competitors don't show up at all. What I do: • Google Business Profile optimisation and management • Google Maps and Local 3-Pack ranking • Local keyword research and demand validation • Citation building and NAP consistency • Review growth and response management • GBP suspension reinstatement: 100% success rate, and you don't pay unless your profile is reinstated • Reporting on what matters: calls, enquiries, direction requests I'm James, based in the UK. I run Rootl Marketing, a local search agency working with trades and service businesses across the UK and US. Before this I spent 10 years managing digital marketing for global corporations in finance, technology and energy. Send me your business name and I'll tell you where you're losing local visibility. Straight answer, no obligation.
