I send it in under 48 hours and you’ll know where to start.
How I see it
Your area isn't just one search
The big player works on «plumber Malaga». You can win «plumber Sabinillas», «emergency plumber La Duquesa» and ten more searches nobody looks after, in English and in Spanish. That's the area gap, and that's where I start.
Does this happen to you?
Others show up on Maps
You search «your service + your town» and your competitors appear, even though you've been open for years and do a better job.
You live on word of mouth
It works until it doesn't. And it doesn't reach the new neighbour, who doesn't know you yet and goes straight to Google.
You don't have many reviews
A customer who doesn't know you compares stars before calling. Without a system to ask for them, that's where you get overtaken.
Straight talk
Is this a good fit?
If I can’t help you, I’d rather tell you before we start.
It’s for you if…
You have a business with customers in a specific area
People find you with «near me» or the name of your town
You want more calls and bookings, not just visits
It’s not for you if…
You only sell online across the country: ecommerce SEO is a better fit
You want to be first on Maps in two weeks
Local SEO
What I work on in your Google Maps SEO
Three fronts that reinforce each other. First I look at where you're weakest and we start there.
01
I optimise your Google listing so you show up on the map
Category, services, photos, opening hours and posts. It's what appears on the map and the first thing you notice.
02
I set up a system to get reviews every month
A simple system to ask for them consistently and answer them well, including the bad ones.
03
I create a page for each area you work in
Pages that answer «your service + your area», with content written for each place, not copied from the last one.
04
I analyse the businesses that show up above you in your area
I look at what the businesses above you are doing and where you can overtake them in your area.
05
I make your details match across your website, listing and directories
The same name, address and phone number on your website, your listing and the directories, so Google has no doubt about who you are.
06
I measure the calls, directions and searches that bring you customers
Calls, listing views and the searches people find you with, in a report you can read in five minutes.
Why work with me
What changes when we work together
More than 6 years in SEO and case studies with their screenshots. This is what clients tell me before we start, and what changes afterwards.
Today: I can’t compete with the big players

Today: I pay without knowing what I’ll get
Working with me: I see my free gap map before deciding
Today: Reports nobody understands
Working with me: A report you can read in five minutes

Working with me: I always talk to the person doing the work
Case studies
Local SEO projects
What I did in each one and what we achieved, with screenshots.
I created 6 pages by model and city and removed the ones getting in the way. In three months, an official dealership went from 5,350 to 7,720 clicks from Google.

How I work
How I do it
Paso 1
Local SEO audit
I start with your free gap map: I analyse your listing, your website and the competition in your area. That way we can see where to start, based on what the businesses above you are doing.
01
Paso 2
Active listening and a plan to get reviews
I read your reviews and your competitors' to find out what your customers value and what annoys them. With that I prepare a plan to ask for reviews at the right moment, with the messages ready, and I help you answer the bad ones too.
02
Paso 3
Optimising your Google Business Profile
Categories, services, description, opening hours, real photos and posts, all consistent with your website. It's what appears on the map and the first thing you notice.
03
Paso 4
Earned mentions and citations
I look for magazines, local guides and service directories in your sector where it makes sense to appear, and we see if we can get them to mention you. Earned, not bought. And I check your details are the same in every directory.
04
Paso 5
Measuring and monitoring
I measure calls, directions, listing views and enquiries from your website, and how you're seen in each area. Every month, a report you can read in five minutes and the next gap we go after.
05
Areas
Local SEO by area
Every area has different customers and different competition. These are the ones I know best.
Can I show up on Maps even if my business is small?
Yes. Google mainly looks at how relevant you are to the search, how close you are to the person searching and the trust your listing and reviews build. Size matters far less than it seems.
Do you guarantee first place on Google Maps?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. What I do guarantee is the work every week, and that you see measured what has changed.
Can you work with several locations?
Yes. Each location gets its own listing and its own page, built around what people search for in that area.
Should my listing and website be in English or Spanish?
Usually both. On the coast, many of your customers search in English and many in Spanish. I look at what each group searches for and make sure you show up for both.
What do you work on in my Google listing?
Everything Google uses to decide who to show on the map: the main and secondary categories, services, description, opening hours, real photos and posts. And that it all matches what your website says.
How do you help me get more reviews?
With a simple system to ask for them when the customer is happy, with the messages already written for WhatsApp or email. Reviews have to be real: I never buy or make up a single one.
What are local citations and mentions?
Citations are the places where your business's name, address and phone number appear, such as directories and guides. Mentions are articles or portals that talk about you. Both confirm to Google that you exist and that you're local.
What kind of businesses do you work with?
Businesses whose customers are in a specific area. I've worked with installers, repair and maintenance companies and car dealerships, and the method is the same for a clinic, a restaurant, an estate agent or a law firm. If your customers find you with «near me» or the name of your town, it's a fit.
Who will handle my project?
Me. You always talk to me, and the person who answers you is the person doing the work, with no account managers or middlemen.
How can I improve my Google Maps ranking?
With a complete listing that matches your website, a steady flow of reviews and a page on your website for each area you work in. Google looks at how relevant you are to the search, how close you are to the person searching and the trust you build.
What is the Google Maps 3-pack?
It's the block of three businesses Google shows with the map, above the normal results, when someone searches for something nearby. It takes most of the clicks and calls, so it's the first goal of local SEO.
How much does local SEO cost?
Every business has a different problem and a different solution, so I don't sell fixed packages: the work fits what you need. You can start with a free local SEO consultation: in under 48 hours I'll send you your gap map and, with that, tell you what I'd do.
Is there a minimum contract?
No. The work is monthly and, if one month it doesn't make sense to carry on, we stop. Access to your website, your listing and your tools always stays in your name.
Shall we talk for 15 minutes?
A short call to see if we’re a good fit. If we are, we’ll set up another day to talk about your project properly; if not, I’ll tell you that too.
