Local SEO for tradespeople: the parts that actually matter

Your Google Business Profile, service-area pages and reviews do most of the work in local search. Here is where to put your effort.

· 6 min read

1. Google Business Profile

Choose the right primary category, set service areas instead of showing a home address, add real job photos regularly and answer every review.

2. One page per service

A page each for your main services, written for customers, with photos of your own work, outranks a single page that lists everything.

3. Area pages with substance

Pages for the towns you cover work when they say something specific — jobs completed there, typical property types, travel times. Copy-pasted town names do not.

4. Reviews, steadily

A steady flow of genuine reviews matters more than a burst. Ask automatically when each job is closed.

5. The basics

  • Consistent name, phone and address across directories
  • Fast, mobile-friendly site
  • Click-to-call on every page
