02Hereford visibility checklist

Could a Hereford customer find and choose you?

The checks we run first for Hereford businesses. Each one is something Google, Maps or an AI tool uses to decide who to show, and each gap is something we can fix.

  1. Your Business Profile matches how you work

    A real Hereford address if customers visit you, or a hidden address and listed service areas if you travel to them. Google allows service areas within about two hours’ drive of your base, so Leominster, Ross-on-Wye and Ledbury can all be on it.

  2. The right places, including the border

    HR postcodes reach beyond the county: Hay-on-Wye uses an HR3 postcode but is in Powys, Wales. We make sure your areas and pages name the places your customers actually search from.

  3. Recent reviews from local customers

    A steady flow of genuine Google reviews from every job, with replies. Never bought, never only the happy ones.

  4. The same details everywhere

    Name, address, phone and hours identical on Google, Bing Places, Apple and the directories Hereford customers use. Mixed-up details give Google and AI tools a reason to show someone else.

  5. A page that’s genuinely about Hereford

    Service pages that say what you do in Hereford and the towns you cover, with real local detail, not the same page with the town name swapped.

  6. Hours that are right on the busy days

    Special hours set for bank holidays and local events, so a customer checking Maps on a race day or a cathedral visit isn’t sent to a closed door.

  7. What AI tools say about your trade in Hereford

    We ask ChatGPT, Google’s AI, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot the questions your customers ask, naming Hereford, several times over, and record who gets named and why.

  8. Calls and enquiries tracked

    Calls, form enquiries and Maps actions counted from day one, so you can see which searches and pages bring Hereford work in.

value of the county’s visitor economy in 2024 [3]

Hereford is Herefordshire’s only city, home to about a third of the county’s people: around 62,000, according to Herefordshire Council.[2] The county had 187,034 residents at the 2021 Census,[1] and more than half of them live in rural areas,[2] spread across the market towns and villages around the city. So for many Hereford businesses, customers come from well beyond the city boundary, and showing up for searches from Leominster, Ross-on-Wye or a village outside Ledbury matters as much as the city itself.

Herefordshire Council lists the county’s strengths as defence and security, cyber and digital, food and drink, agri-tech, creative industries, manufacturing, engineering and tourism,[5] and agriculture and manufacturing matter more to the local economy than they do nationally.[6] Skylon Park, the Hereford Enterprise Zone at Rotherwas, is home to over 100 businesses,[4] and the county’s visitor economy was valued at £773m in 2024.[3]

Places customers search around

  • Hereford Cathedral
  • Mappa Mundi and the Chained Library
  • Old Market
  • Museum of Cider
  • Hereford Racecourse
  • Edgar Street
  • Hereford Livestock Market
  • Skylon Park
  • River Wye
  • Trades and home services

    Plumbers, electricians, builders and roofers covering a big rural area, where getting the service areas and “near me” searches right decides who gets the call.

  • Food, drink and farming

    Producers, farm shops and suppliers in a county where agriculture and manufacturing punch above their national weight.[6]

  • Hospitality, retail and the visitor trade

    Cafés, shops, pubs and places to stay serving visitors to the cathedral, the racecourse and the Wye Valley, in a visitor economy worth £773m in 2024.[3]

  • Defence, cyber and engineering

    Business-to-business firms around Skylon Park,[4] where buyers research suppliers on Google and increasingly in AI tools before they call.

All our services

Looking for local SEO in Hereford?

Local SEO is how you show up in the Maps results when someone in Hereford or the villages around it searches for what you do. We set up your Google Business Profile for how you actually work, add service areas that reach Leominster, Ross-on-Wye or Ledbury if you cover them, build a steady flow of genuine reviews, and keep your details identical on Google, Bing and the directories Hereford customers use.

More on local SEO

Looking for AI SEO in Hereford?

More customers now ask ChatGPT, Copilot or Google’s AI for a recommendation, such as “a good electrician in Hereford”. The businesses named are usually the ones with clear, consistent evidence online. We check what the main AI tools say about your trade in Hereford, find what’s holding you back and fix it. Nobody can guarantee an AI tool will mention you, but our free audit shows where you stand today.

More on web design

05How we work

Five steps. No long contracts.

  1. Check where you stand

    A free visibility audit: where you appear on Google, in the Maps results and in the main AI tools for the searches Hereford customers make, and who’s getting those enquiries instead.

  2. Fix the foundations

    Your Google Business Profile, Bing Places listing and directory details made complete and identical, with the right categories and the areas you really cover across HR postcodes.

  3. Make your website say it plainly

    Clear pages for each service and the towns you serve, written for Hereford customers rather than copied from one town to the next, so Google and AI tools can see what you do and where.

  4. Earn reviews and local mentions

    A simple routine for asking every customer for a review, and genuine mentions from local organisations, suppliers and press. Never bought, never fake.

  5. Track what changes

    Calls, form enquiries and Maps actions tracked from the start, plus regular checks of what AI tools say about your trade in your town, reported as a trend rather than one screenshot.

08Questions

SEO in Hereford, straight answers.

What Hereford business owners ask us before getting started.

Do you do SEO for businesses in Hereford?

Yes. Get Found is a local SEO, AI SEO and web design agency based at 39 Foregate St, Worcester, with a second office in Stockport. We work with businesses in Hereford, across Herefordshire and the rest of the UK, mostly by phone and video. Every project starts with a free visibility audit, and there are no long contracts.

Do you have an office in Hereford?

No. Our nearest office is in Worcester, and our second office is in Stockport. We work with Hereford businesses remotely, and if you’re passing through Worcester you’re welcome to call in.

How do I get my Hereford business into the Google Maps results?

Google says local results are mainly based on relevance, distance and popularity, and that there’s no way to request or pay for a better local ranking. What helps is a verified, complete Business Profile with the right main category, genuine reviews from every customer, the same business details everywhere, and a website that says clearly what you do and where.

We also cover Leominster, Ross-on-Wye and Ledbury. Can you help us show up there?

Yes, within limits. If customers don’t visit you, Google lets you hide your address and list service areas within about two hours’ drive of your base. We also build useful pages for the main towns you cover. Distance from the person searching still plays a part, so nobody can promise you’ll show for every town, but getting the set-up right gives you the best chance.

Do you work with businesses near the Welsh border?

Yes. We work with businesses across the UK, including Wales. HR postcodes cross the border: Hay-on-Wye, for example, is in Powys but uses an HR3 postcode, so we make sure your listings and pages name the right places.

Is AI SEO worth it for a Hereford business?

For most local businesses it’s worth checking at least. More customers now ask tools like ChatGPT or Google’s AI for a recommendation, and the businesses they name tend to be the ones with clear, consistent evidence online. AI SEO builds on good local SEO rather than replacing it. Nobody can guarantee an AI tool will mention you, but our free visibility audit includes a check of what the main AI tools say about your trade in Hereford.

How much does SEO cost for a Hereford business?

It depends on what your business needs and how competitive your searches are. Every project is quoted after a free visibility audit, so the price is based on your business rather than a package, and there are no long contracts.

Do you build websites for Hereford businesses?

Yes. Web design is one of our three core services. We build fast, search-ready websites with tap-to-call numbers, short enquiry forms and clear pages for the areas you cover. You own the domain and the website.

Rather talk it through? You’ll speak to the local team, not a call centre.
