Does paying for these services improve my position in this directory?

No. Listings in this directory are free, built from open data, and ordered by how complete a record is or by the sort option the visitor chose. We do not sell placement, ranking or badges, and buying marketing services changes nothing about how your listing appears here.

Do you guarantee first place on Google?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Nobody controls Google's index or its ranking systems. What we can commit to is the work itself, a clear plan, and reporting that shows what changed and what it produced.

How long does SEO take to work?

Local SEO on a Google Business Profile can shift within weeks. Organic SEO on a competitive term is usually a matter of months, because it depends on Google recrawling, reassessing and trusting the changes. Google Ads produces traffic as soon as a campaign is live, which is why the two are often run together.

For Google Ads and organic SEO, yes. You need somewhere for the click to land. For local SEO, a Google Business Profile alone can generate calls and direction requests, though a website makes it considerably more effective.

Do you work with businesses outside the cities in this directory?

Yes. The directory covers selected UK cities; the marketing services are not limited to them.
