What Is the Difference Between Local SEO & Local Service Ads?
SEO, or Search Engine Optimisation, involves the work we carry out to achieve high organic rankings for your website in Google’s free search results.
Google Local Service Ads are specifically designed for service-based businesses and enable you to pay per lead, unlike standard Google Ads, which are pay-per-click. PPC, or Pay-Per-Click advertising, allows you to pay for your website to rank highly alongside other similar local companies that are also paying for visibility. (These will have ‘Sponsored’ next to them.)
Some people might prefer ranking in the organic results through SEO, as these listings are often perceived as being more trustworthy by those searching for your services, whilst others prefer instant results through Google Ads or Local Service Ads. Additionally, some local businesses use these in combination to get the best of both worlds. The choice is yours to make, and is a matter of personal preference!
Contact us today to learn more about how we can not only help you with Local SEO, but also Local Service Ads and PPC.
Will My Website Rank at the Top of Google If I Use Your Local SEO Services?
Many clients ask us if we can guarantee a top ranking on Google. We want to clarify: no reputable SEO company can promise this. Claims of guaranteed rankings are misleading, and believing these can lead to costly mistakes and disappointment.
Once My Website Ranks at the Top, Will It Stay There?
Achieving a top ranking doesn’t guarantee staying there. Google’s algorithms frequently change, and effective strategies can become obsolete. However, at WDSEO, we have a proven track record over the past decade of achieving fantastic Google rankings for our clients, but this takes time and investment.
If you want to learn more, please feel free to check out our blog post: For My SEO Ranking, Can You Guarantee That My Website Will Get to the Top Page of Google?
Do You Offer SEO Services to Local Businesses Outside of Plymouth?
Absolutely, we offer our Local SEO Services throughout the UK! Whether you’re located in Plymouth, Glasgow, Birmingham, Belfast, Swindon, or any other town or city, we can assist your business in boosting its Google ranking for your services in your local area.
Are My Local Competitors Also Your SEO Clients?
At WDSEO, we prioritise complete transparency. While we may work with multiple local businesses within the same sector, we treat all clients equally and are dedicated to helping each one achieve top Google rankings.
Why Are My Local Competitors Ranked Higher Than Me?
Several factors influence your SEO rankings. The age of your domain plays a significant role in establishing authority; newer domains typically take longer to yield results. Additionally, Google evaluates your website’s Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (EEAT), which can affect your position over time (however, this does not directly impact your rankings).
Moreover, our clients have varying budgets for our SEO Services, with some allocating one day per month, while others choose two or even three; more frequent updates and fresh content can lead to improved rankings. Your overall online presence, including social media engagement and positive reviews, also contributes to your search engine rankings.

What is the Difference Between Local SEO & National SEO?
Local SEO focuses on boosting your website’s visibility in local search results, catering to specific geographical areas, such as counties, towns, cities, or villages, and is especially suited for small, local businesses and tradespeople.
On the other hand, national SEO will have a broader reach across a whole country, such as the UK, and is particularly suited to larger, more established businesses.
Both demand continuous effort, but national SEO involves much higher competition.

Why Do Local Businesses Need SEO?
In today’s digital landscape, the majority of people search for new services and products online, primarily through Google. Before making a final purchasing decision, they also check Online Reviews of the site they like.
Whether you are a Tradesman or a Small to Medium-Sized Business, it is essential that your website appears on the first page of Google’s Organic (free) Search, if you want to expand your business and attract new customers. Ideally, you’ll also want to be found on Google Local at the top of the “3 Pack”, which showcases three search results right below the Google Map. In essence, local businesses that rank highest on the first search results pages and have numerous positive Online Reviews are the ones most likely to gain potential customers.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the most effective method (the only way!), through On-site, Off-site, and Technical SEO strategies, to secure a high ranking on Google without facing the significant costs associated with Google Ads.

What Is On-site SEO?
At WDSEO, our approach to on-site SEO starts during the initial design phase of your website. This ensures that SEO best practices are integrated from the very beginning. During your Monthly SEO time, we will follow this with content creation, such as writing and optimising blogs, case studies, and Geopages.
Website
Design
After identifying your business growth priorities, we will design and build your website tailored to your needs. Our focus is on developing the right pages, an efficient website structure, and clear Calls to Action, which together will help attract more high-quality leads.
On-site SEO
Using all of the information you have provided; we will write and SEO-optimise the copy for your website. We also appropriately name, geotag, and resize images & videos, along with page titles, to maximise your site’s performance in Google search results.
User
Experience
Your website will be designed to be user-friendly & easy to navigate on all devices – smartphones, tablets, & computers. We also incorporate strategically positioned, relevant Calls to Action, like Click-to-Call buttons, Contact Forms, & Request a Quote options.
Site Speed &
Security
Our Web Developers will make sure that your website remains secure and safe for users, with an SSL Certificate (“padlock”). We also ensure it loads quickly and operates smoothly, delivering a positive user experience to prevent frustration from delays.
What is Off-site SEO?
Off-site SEO aims to boost your business’s online visibility across the internet and is centred on promoting your website to prospective customers. To accomplish this, Off-site SEO includes:
Listings &
Citations
In the last decade, we have compiled & frequently updated the WDSEO list, which includes approximately 100 websites known for their high Google “PageRank” Listings & Directories. We take the time to manually populate your information across these platforms. This process involves ensuring your details, especially your NAP (Name, Address, & Phone Number), are complete, consistent, & correct wherever your company appears online.
High-Quality
Backlinks
It is also important to find and establish quality backlinks to your website. A backlink refers to a link from a reputable and credible site that sends traffic back to your own website. Such links indicate to Google the quality and reliability of your website. While some SEO agencies purchase backlinks, this approach is incredibly risky. Instead, prioritising natural link-building methods is more effective.
Social Media
Marketing
Choosing and regularly engaging on the social media platforms that are most relevant to your business is essential. This means posting on the sites where your ideal customers frequently interact, which often includes Instagram and Facebook for Business. Using the appropriate social media channels will help boost your business visibility and build customer loyalty.
Online
Reviews
Receiving lots of positive online reviews from your customers is another important aspect of off-site SEO for national and local businesses alike. Prospects typically check these before deciding which option to select. We can guide you on getting more online reviews to enhance your credibility and draw in potential clients.
