A first step into local search
Starter is for businesses that are new to SEO, or have never had anyone work on it. We set up and improve your Google Business Profile, list your business on the main directories, and track where you rank for the searches that matter in your area.
It suits sole traders and small firms in less crowded markets. Think plumbers, cleaners, tutors, beauticians and trades in smaller towns, where a well-kept profile and a tidy website can move you up quickly.
Each month we spend an hour improving your website pages, and every quarter you get a report on what we did and how your rankings moved.

How Local SEO works with your website
Local SEO is an add-on to your Ubie website plan. The website plan designs, builds and hosts your pages. Local SEO works on getting them found by people searching in your area.
Enquire first
Tell us your business, your area and the searches you want. We check the competition and say honestly whether we can help, and which plan fits.
Add it to your plan
Pick Local SEO on the website registration form when you sign up, or add it later. Your website and SEO are then on one monthly bill.
We set things up
In the first weeks we optimise your Google Business Profile, build your citations, set up ranking tracking and start on your pages.
Progress from month 5 or 6
SEO takes time. You usually start seeing movement around month 5 or 6, sooner on an established web address and longer on a new one.
On the Business and Premium website plans, your location pages give Local SEO more to work with, because each town you cover already has its own page.
Local SEO is for WordPress websites and is built for Ubie Websites customers. If your WordPress website was not built by us, a surcharge may apply. We confirm any extra cost before you sign up.

Questions about Local SEO
- When can I expect results from a Local SEO plan?
It’s impossible to provide exact timeframes, as every location and keyword is different. However, you should start seeing progress around month 5 or 6.
If your web address is new, it can take longer, as Google needs to build trust.
- How do I know what Local SEO plan I need?
We recommend enquiring first. This helps us understand your requirements and expectations.
As a general rule, the more competitive a keyword and location are, the more extensive the plan needs to be.
- Why does SEO take so long to start seeing results?
SEO takes time because search engines need to discover and assess changes to your website, and you are competing with other businesses for visibility.
Over time, Local SEO can become a cost-effective source of enquiries, but this is not guaranteed. Its value depends on the competition, your spend and how many relevant enquiries become customers. It will not necessarily cost less than paid advertising.
- What locations can I target?
For a Local SEO strategy to work, focus on the areas closest to your business address.
Google rewards authenticity and authority. Targeting locations away from your business address and negative reviews can impact results.
- Do you provide any GEO services for AI Search?
Yes, we add elements like schema markup and FAQs to your website, which helps AI like Gemini and ChatGPT understand your business.
Most customers still use Google to find local services so Google Local SEO will remain the main focus.
- What is Local Citation Building?
We will add your website to major business directories. This will support your link building and online authority.
For example, we will add your website and business information to online directories such as Yelp, Yell and Hotfrog.
- What is Google Business Profile optimisation?
We will ensure you have a Google Business Profile that appears on Google Maps and in Google search listings.
We highly recommend having a Google Business Profile; otherwise, it can negatively impact your search ranking.
- What are on-page improvements?
On-page improvements can range from improving your site’s content and visuals to optimising pages.
The tasks depend on your business category and targeting. This ensures you get tailored optimisations that best suit your website.
- What's an article on a relevant site?
We write a useful article about your area of work, and a real website that suits your business publishes it. It puts your name in front of new readers and builds trust in your business.
Any link back to your website is marked as sponsored, as Google asks. We pick sites with real readers, and the Pro plan uses stronger sites than Growth.
- Who do you offer this service to?
We can offer this service to most local business categories. However, in rare cases, we may not be a good fit for your business. We will always be honest about that before you spend.
Our Local SEO service is available for WordPress websites only and is primarily designed for Ubie Websites customers. If your WordPress website was not built by Ubie, a surcharge may apply. We’ll review your website and confirm any additional costs before you sign up.
Start with the Starter plan
Enquire and we will check your area and your competition first. If we don’t think Local SEO will work for your business, we will say so before you spend anything.
