Restructuring for Local Dominance
The project involved a full audit of the client’s existing digital footprint. We identified that the website was not signalling its location correctly to Google. By updating metadata, refining content to mention local landmarks and service areas, and cleaning up inconsistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) data, we were able to help the business climb the rankings steadily over several months.
- Audited NAP consistency across 30+ directories.
- Rewrote service pages to target specific local area intent.
- Implemented schema markup to help Google understand service areas.
- Monitored monthly ranking improvements against key competitors.
