Sparks & Sons Electrical
PowerFix Manchester
Metro Electrics
33-second overview
Most local businesses are invisible on local maps - and don't know it.
Local Maps Control Calls
When someone searches "plumber in Manchester" or "electrician near me", Google Maps and Apple Maps surface local businesses at the top - above every website. If you're not appearing, most people never see you.
It's Not About Your Work
The businesses ranking above you aren't necessarily better. They've got more complete profiles, more recent activity, and the right local SEO signals. Your work quality doesn't show up in an algorithm.
It's a Quiet Problem
You don't get a notification when you drop out of local results. Enquiries just slow down. Most owners assume it's a quiet spell. It's usually a visibility problem with a fixable cause.
Local SEO built around what Google actually ranks.
We look at your Google Business Profile, directory listings, and website signals, find what's costing you visibility, and fix it. Then keep it compounding if you want.
Local presence review
A full look at your Google profile, directory listings, and website signals. Every gap ranked by impact before anything is touched.
Category & description fix
Align your profile with the exact local search terms your customers use - the single biggest ranking lever on Google.
GBP posts & local content
Restart your posting activity so Google treats your profile as active. Local keyword-focused from day one.
Review generation setup
A simple post-job process to consistently collect 5-star reviews - the social proof Google surfaces to searchers.
SEO Management
Your local search presence managed every month - profile active, citations growing, rankings tracked. You stay visible without thinking about it.
Citations & directory cleanup
NAP consistency across key directories and on-page local signals that reinforce your Google position over time.
What we find on almost every profile
The same gaps keep showing up.
After auditing trade profiles across the UK, the patterns are consistent. None of it reflects the quality of your work - it's just signals Google can't see.
Most owners don't know this
Your Google profile looks different on mobile than on desktop - and most customers only ever see the mobile version.
Google shows significantly more detail on mobile: full service descriptions, Q&As, post previews, and expanded categories. Most business owners set up their profile on a desktop and never see what their customers actually see. That means entire sections - including services - are often incomplete or empty for the majority of people searching for you.
Unoptimised descriptions
Generic copy with no local keywords. Google uses this to understand what you do and where. If it doesn't clearly mention your city or services, you're not surfacing for the searches that matter.
Service areas missing or wrong
Businesses with a location often skip service area setup entirely. That's calls from surrounding towns and postcodes going to someone else.
Directory mismatches
Different phone number on Yell, old address on Checkatrade. Google cross-references these. Inconsistency hurts your trust score and drops your ranking.
No recent posts
Google treats an inactive profile as a low-priority result. Businesses that post regularly rank higher - not because of the content itself, but because of the activity signal it sends.
Services section barely touched
Most profiles list services with no descriptions. On mobile especially, a well-filled services section directly influences how Google matches you to customer searches.
Reviews gone quiet
A profile with 12 reviews from two years ago signals neglect. Google rewards recency. Competitors with a steady flow of new reviews consistently outrank those without.
These are exactly what The Foundation fixes - systematically, in the right order.
Built for UK businesses losing enquiries to local search.
If you're a local business - trades, clinics, professional services, or any service-based sector - and you're not appearing when customers search in your city, this is the fix.
You're a good fit if…
- You're not appearing in local map results for your main search term
- Your profile hasn't been updated in months
- You have fewer than 15 reviews, or they've gone quiet
- A newer competitor is ranking above you in your area
- You don't have a Google Business Profile yet, or it's never been properly set up
You probably don't need this if…
- You're already in position 1–2 in the local map pack consistently
- You have a strong, active review flow
- Your enquiries are steady and coming from Google
