Customer Reviews

Trust built on real results

“Outfox SEO built us a dieting and fitness website that successfully competes against US and UK businesses with millions of pounds worth of funding and extensive full time marketing teams. We never dreamed we would be able to compete against these types of businesses in Google’s search results.”
Stacey,
Hit My Macros
“We worked with Outfox to get a new professional site which we are very pleased with. Outfox were very easy to deal with and made the whole process straightforward. This is important because as a community owned business we don’t have lots of technical knowledge. Outfox gave us several ideas for the site and we were able to review and make changes before it was finished. We have noticed several visitors to the cafe have mentioned they found us on google, which didn’t happen before. We are happy to recommend Outfox SEO.”
Gail Anderson

Now, we proudly occupy top positions on Google for our selected keyword phrases, for example “How to become an energy supplier. ” Their service has been nothing short of fantastic, delivered by a team of highly knowledgeable individuals.”

Got questions? We’ve got answers

Local SEO is the practice of optimising your online presence to attract more business from relevant local searches (e.g., “plumber near me”). It’s vital for businesses with physical locations or those serving specific geographic areas, as it connects you with customers actively searching nearby.

While sharing some principles, Local SEO focuses specifically on ranking in geographically restricted searches and includes optimising elements like Google Business Profile and local citations, which are less critical for non-local organic SEO.

This is the block often appearing at the top of Google search results for local queries, showing a map and typically three business listings with contact info, reviews, and location. Ranking here is a primary goal of Local SEO.

Reviews significantly impact local rankings and customer trust. Google uses review quantity, quality, and velocity as ranking factors, and potential customers rely heavily on them to make decisions.

Citations are online mentions of your business’s Name, Address, and Phone number (NAP). Consistency across reputable directories (like Yelp, Yellow Pages, industry-specific sites) helps Google verify your business information and location, boosting local authority.

Improvements in elements like GBP optimisation and citation consistency can yield results relatively quickly (weeks to a few months). Significant gains in Map Pack rankings and local organic traffic typically take 3-6 months, depending on competition and current standing.

No. Service-area businesses (like plumbers, electricians, consultants) that travel to customers can also benefit significantly from Local SEO by defining their service areas in their Google Business Profile.

Success is tracked via Map Pack ranking improvements, increases in GBP interactions (calls, direction requests, website clicks), growth in local organic traffic, positive review generation, and ultimately, increases in local leads and sales.
