How much does local SEO cost in the UK?

What drives the price

What a monthly fee should include

• Ongoing Google Business Profile management: posts, photos, updates, Q&A.
• Review requests and replies, or at least a system you can run yourself.
• Website improvements for the pages tied to your profile.
• Citation building and clean-up.
• Ranking checks across your catchment, not from a single point.
• A monthly report showing calls, direction requests, enquiries and rankings, explained in plain English.

Warning signs

• Guaranteed first positions. Nobody controls Google's results.
• Long contracts with no clear deliverables.
• Reports full of impressions and keywords, but no calls or enquiries.
• Fake reviews or keyword-stuffed business names. These risk suspension.
• You do not own your profile or your website at the end.

Will it pay for itself?

Work backwards from the value of a customer. If an average new patient, client or job is worth several hundred pounds over time, a handful of extra enquiries a month can cover the fee. Track calls and forms from Google from the first month so you can see the real return. Our ROI simulator gives a quick estimate.
