Local SEO is about getting your Glasgow business to appear when nearby customers search for what you offer. Every site I build is optimised for local searches from day one: sitemap submitted, GBP set up, location pages built.
Why MunroStudio
Dedicated pages targeting 'plumber Glasgow Southside', 'electrician Bearsden', 'cafe West End': each one targeting a real search people make in your area.
A sitemap.xml is generated for every site and submitted to Google Search Console so your pages get crawled and indexed quickly, not sitting unfound for months.
The Maps 3-pack appears above organic results for local searches. I set up and optimise your GBP to target it.
Name, address, and phone number consistent across your site, Google, Bing, Apple Maps, Yell, Yelp, and key directories: a foundational local SEO signal.

FAQs
Regular SEO targets broad keywords, like 'best plumber UK'. Local SEO targets location-based searches, like 'plumber Glasgow' or 'emergency plumber near me'. Local SEO also focuses heavily on Google Maps rankings (Google Business Profile), which drive most calls for local service businesses.
New sites typically see movement in 2–4 months and competitive page 1 rankings in 4–8 months. Google Maps (via GBP) is faster: the 3-pack can appear within 4–8 weeks for some searches. Long-tail local terms like 'plumber Kirkintilloch' rank faster than broad terms like 'plumber Glasgow'.
Yes, every site launch includes sitemap.xml generation and submission to Google Search Console. This speeds up indexing significantly compared to waiting for Google to discover your pages naturally.
