How it works
What happens from first contact to results.
No retainer, no surprise costs, no jargon. Here's the full process - for GBP optimisation, monthly management, websites, and automation.
The Foundation
How the GBP optimisation works - step by step.
A straightforward local SEO process from start to first results. No surprises, no retainer unless you want one.
You send your details
Day 0Your business name and city. That's all I need to start. No forms, no lengthy briefs - just those two things sent by email or through the contact page.
Full local presence audit
InstantlyOur system checks your Google Maps position, profile completeness, review count and recency, categories, posts, photos, local citation consistency across directories, and website local signals. Everything is scored by impact. You get a detailed report instantly - your current position, who's outranking you and why, and exactly what needs fixing first.
You get a clear breakdown
Day 1Not a vague summary - a specific breakdown. What's working, what isn't, which competitor is sitting above you and what they're doing differently, and the exact changes that would move the needle. All plain English. If there's nothing worth fixing, I'll tell you that too.
We agree a fix - one action from you
Day 2If you want to go ahead, reply to the email. I'll send you one short document with one thing to do: add me as a manager on your Google Business Profile. That's the only action required from you. Everything else is handled.
I make all the changes
Days 2-10I implement the full Foundation across your Google profile, directory listings, and website signals - primary category, business description, service area, services section, citations, Q&A, and 8 posts over 4 weeks. I'll send you a photo shot list and a simple post-job review process to follow going forward.
Google starts to notice
Weeks 3-6Most profiles see movement in local map rankings within 3-6 weeks of changes going live. I'll let you know when I see early shifts. If you want to keep momentum building after the Foundation, SEO Management is available as a monthly add-on.
Everything included in The Foundation
Optional add-on
SEO Management - keeping you visible after the Foundation.
Getting into the map pack is step one. Staying there - and continuing to climb - requires consistent, ongoing activity. Competitors don't stop. SEO Management ensures your profile stays active and keeps sending the right signals to Google every month.
4 GBP posts per month
Written around your trade and city - 'emergency plumber Blackburn' not generic fluff.
Monthly citation building
New directory listings added each month to grow your local authority consistently.
Monthly ranking check
Positions tracked and compared month-on-month so you can see what's moving.
Profile updates
Hours, services, seasonal changes - all handled. Your profile stays accurate without you touching it.
Available after The Foundation is in place. Only offered once the profile is properly optimised.
Web design & automation
Websites, booking systems, and automation - how these projects work.
Website and automation projects are scoped per-project, starting with a free discovery call. Every site is built with local SEO in from the start - not added on afterwards. Booking systems are built to be owned by you, with no ongoing platform fees.
Free discovery call
We talk about what you need, what you currently have, and what a good outcome looks like. No commitment. Usually 20-30 minutes.
Scoping and quote
I'll send you a short brief covering exactly what gets built, what's not included, and the fixed price. No hourly billing, no ambiguity.
Build phase
I build the site or system. For websites: design, copy, SEO setup, and local signals all in one pass. For booking systems: calendar integration, automated flows, and admin dashboard built and tested.
Review and revisions
You review the build. I make the agreed revisions. Typically two revision rounds are included - more complex feedback is handled case by case.
Launch and handover
The site goes live. You get full access, documentation, and a walkthrough. Everything is yours - no platform lock-in.
Web Design & SEO
New build or redesign. Local SEO built in. City landing pages, schema, on-page copy, Google Analytics setup.

Business Automation

Why Lumeops
A few things worth knowing before you get in touch.
Research before writing - always.
No work starts without a proper audit first. I look at your profile, your competitors, and the exact search terms people use in your area. Generic fixes don't get results - specific, data-led changes do.
Plain English, no jargon.
The reports I send are written for business owners, not technical audiences. You'll know exactly what's wrong, why it matters, and what's being done about it - without needing to understand how Google's algorithm works.
You own everything.
Any content, profile changes, or systems I build are yours. No platform dependency, no lock-in. If you ever stop working with Lumeops, you keep everything.
No long contracts.
The Foundation is a one-off. SEO Management is month-to-month. Website and automation projects are fixed-price. Nothing is designed to keep you paying beyond what delivers value.
Honest about what's possible.
No guarantees of specific positions. No fake timelines. If something's going to take longer than expected, I'll tell you. If a competitor has a 5-year head start, I'll tell you that too.
