The brief

Plenty of local demand. Not enough of it landing.

A Sidcup-based garden services firm covering SE and South London was getting found, but not often enough, and rarely by the right people close by. Their listings did not stand out in the results, and there was little content aimed at the specific areas they actually serve.

The job: make every search result work harder, and give Google clear local reasons to rank them across South London.

What I did

Two jobs, aimed squarely at local search.

Only a little more visibility, but far more clicks. That gap is exactly where the work paid off.

01 · Relevance

SEO meta optimisation

Rewrote titles and meta descriptions across the site so each result reads clearly and gives a local searcher a reason to click. This is what lifted click-through from 0.3% to 0.4%, roughly a third more clicks from broadly the same visibility.

02 · Local reach

Localised content

Created content built around the specific areas they serve, giving Google clear local signals and helping them rank for the towns and neighbourhoods where their customers actually live.

Localised content built for areas including:
Sidcup Bexley Bromley Chislehurst Eltham Greenwich Lewisham Catford Beckenham Orpington Dulwich Croydon
The results

Nearly 60% more clicks, and a big jump up the rankings.

Six months compared with the six months before, straight from Google Search Console.

The number that matters most

Impressions rose a steady 17%, but clicks jumped almost 60%. That gap is the whole point. The meta and localised work meant roughly the same shopfront visibility turned into far more people actually coming through the door, and CTR climbing while rankings improved is the sign that the right local customers are the ones finding them.

Fancy being the next success story?

No hard sell, no jargon. Just a straight conversation with me about where your business could be ranking.
