A fire-safety consultant working a demanding 10 km local-search radius (city centre sitting right at the far edge) started with us in February 2024 for consultation, then handed the entire SEO over as a done-for-you engagement. Within the first year, traffic exploded, keywords tripled, and they took straight #1s.

10 km is a huge radius for local SEO, the city centre sat at the far edge, yet went from 20+ to #2. Organic traffic quadrupled within the first two months and kept climbing all year.
