Your Customers Are Searching For You. Are You Being Found?
Searches containing “near me” have increased by 3400% since 2011, according to Google. Your local customers are using search engines like never before. It's never been more important to be Known Locally. Is your business visible on the Google high street?
When you need a tradesperson, service, shop or restaurant in your local area, where’s the first place you look?
Google, right? Well, so do your customers.
Every day, people in your area are looking to use your services… but if you’re nowhere to be seen on Google’s Local Listings then all those customers are going to your competitors.
And almost HALF of all searches on Google are from people looking for goods or services in areas near them.
When someone Googles, say, “plumbers near me” ~70% of those people will visit a physical store or call up a local business after finding out about it online.
With 86% of people using Google Maps to look up the location of a business before they buy or use a service near them, it’s fair to say search is going local…

How Ace Rent A Van revved up their business with local search
The success of ACE Rent A Van is firmly rooted in the local community. The family business started out as a car dealership in New Cross in 1954 before branching into van rental in response to local demand. More recently, after expanding into new areas, to truly establish themselves, they needed to boost their visibility and attract new customers.
We're proud of our reputation
Why does local search work so well?
Don’t get lost in a sea of chain stores, retail parks, multi-national franchises and online competitors with deeper pockets for advertising. Stack the odds in favour of your local business.
If you own a service-based business, there’s no better, nor cheaper, way to generate a steady flow of qualified leads. No more “Pay Per Click” you only pay for leads depending on your location and industry, and there’s a fixed lead cost from just £5.
