Frequently asked questions
Do you have experience with hotels and resorts?
The approach is tailored to how travellers, event planners and corporate bookers research and decide: inspiration, OTA comparison, reviews and direct booking incentives. Specific examples and references can be discussed on a call.
How long does local SEO take?
Profile fixes can show within weeks; competitive map rankings usually take two to four months.
How many reviews do I need?
There is no magic number. A steady flow of genuine, recent reviews and thoughtful responses matters more than a one-time push.
Does local SEO affect AI answers?
Yes. AI assistants recommending local businesses draw on profile data, reviews and citations.
Can I rank in a city where I have no office?
In the map pack, ranking without a real address there is very hard and fake addresses break Google's rules. Service-area pages can still rank in regular results when they are genuinely useful.
Should I use the keyword in my business name?
Only if it is your real legal or trading name. Keyword stuffing can get a profile suspended.
