Local SEO for multiple locations Every branch found in its own town.

Local SEO for multiple locations is making sure each branch, clinic or office of a business can be found by people searching near it. Each real location gets its own Google Business Profile, a proper page on your website, its own reviews and consistent details everywhere it’s listed, and you get reporting you can read branch by branch.

Yes. Get Found is a local SEO agency based at 39 Foregate St, Worcester, with a second office in Stockport, and we work with businesses across the UK. Having two offices ourselves, we deal with the same questions on our own site. Multi-location work is part of our local SEO service. Every project starts with a free visibility audit, and there are no long contracts.

Each real location does, and only one each. Google says not to create more than one profile for each location, in one account or several. A location needs to be genuine: Google says a virtual office isn’t eligible. If you run a service business from several bases with separate service areas and separate staff at each, Google allows one profile for each location.

Each real branch should have a page that represents it, and Google asks for a website that represents your individual business location on each profile. For towns where you don’t have a branch, a page only earns its place if it says something true and specific. Google’s spam policy names near-identical pages made to rank for different towns as doorway abuse, and Google publishes no set number of pages.

Google says a profile considered a duplicate won’t show on Search or Maps, so duplicates can hide a branch rather than help it. They can often be merged, with reviews combined, though Google says replies to reviews may be lost. Removing the wrong one deletes its content and managers, so we check carefully before anything is removed.

Your business should own them. Google lets a profile have several owners but only one primary owner, and managers who can do most things except add or remove users or delete the profile. Each person needs their own Google Account, so nobody shares passwords. We’re added as a manager, and Google’s rules for agencies say you can take back full control whenever you ask.

Each verified profile has its own performance data, including how many times people tapped to call, clicked through to your website or asked for directions. Google combines organic and ad activity in those figures and counts taps rather than answered calls, so we pair them with a log of enquiries by branch. That shows which locations are doing well and which need work.

No, and nobody honestly can. Google says there’s no way to request or pay for a better local ranking, and distance from the person searching is part of how it decides. What we can do is make sure every branch is set up correctly, consistently and within Google’s rules, and show you how each one is doing.
