So you do websites right?

Not quite… well kind of… web design is part of what we do, but not everything.

If you’re a local business owner the days of generating enquiries from simply having a website are gone… even the days of having a website that’s ranking well in the traditional search rankings are coming to an end.

If you search for ‘[local business] in [location]’ i.e. ‘Plumber in Bristol’ you’ll likely see a map pack of local pack (the two terms are used interchangeably) near the top of the page below the adverts and ‘find results on’.

This will show a map with three to four businesses on it (signified with dropped pins) and key information (name, reviews, business category, opening hours and phone number) about each of those businesses.

This is where we’re focusing our efforts as a business and where we believe others should also concentrate when it comes to improving their credibility and visibility online.

If you’re both credible and visible online, enquiries and customers will follow.
