Frequently Asked Questions

Most clients see improvements in local visibility within three to six months, with stronger results developing as the strategy gains momentum over time.
Yes, and given where Durham sits it is usually a large part of the opportunity. The realistic catchment runs through Cockerton, Mowden, Blackwell, Harrowgate Hill, Haughton le Skerne, Hurworth and Middleton St George, and out towards Newton Aycliffe, Bishop Auckland, Stockton, Northallerton and Richmond. Google will not extend your reach into any of it on its own, because results are weighted by where the searcher is standing. Covering it properly means service-area configuration on your Business Profile, location pages for the towns with genuine search volume behind them, and content that engages with those places rather than listing their names.
