Local SEO for businesses in Portlaoise and across County Laois, from Portarlington to Rathdowney. We get you showing up on Google and Google Maps when people nearby search for what you do, and show you where you stand every month.
Laois sits on the M7 and M8 between Dublin, Cork and Limerick, and its towns look in different directions. Getting found is about the towns your customers live in.
01
Portlaoise first
Portlaoise is the biggest market and the most competitive. Most searches name the town or say “near me”, so your profile and website need to be strong around Portlaoise before you reach further.
Our first focus
02
Border towns
Portarlington runs into Offaly and Graiguecullen is part of Carlow town. If you serve customers over the county line, your service areas and pages should say so.
We plan for this
03
Quick wins in smaller towns
In Mountmellick, Abbeyleix, Mountrath and Stradbally, few businesses in each trade have a complete Google profile and steady reviews. Doing the basics well can move you up quickly.

We work on your Google Business Profile as a Manager (you stay the owner), and on your website if you have one. Same plans and prices as anywhere in Ireland, planned around Laois.
Search plan. We list the searches worth winning in your towns, like “electrician Portlaoise” and “physio Portarlington”, and check where you stand today in each one.
Google Business Profile. Categories, services, description, hours and photos, with service areas set to the towns you really cover, like Portlaoise, Portarlington and Mountmellick.
Reviews and posts. A reply to every review, a review link and QR code for your customers, and a Google post every week, like a recent job in Mountmellick or an evening appointment slot.
Town and service pages. Real, useful pages for the places you cover, like a page for Abbeyleix and one for Stradbally (2 a month on SEO Growth, 4 on SEO Pro), not copy-and-paste pages with the name swapped.
Citations and local links. Your details the same everywhere, plus links from Irish directories, suppliers and Laois clubs, associations and local organisations that genuinely relate to you.
Monthly report. Where you show up in each town, what we did and what’s next. You see everything.

With us it’s €299, €599 or €999 a month, ex VAT, with no setup fee and no lock-in, the same as anywhere in Ireland. Most Laois businesses start with one or two towns, usually Portlaoise plus the town they’re based in, and we tell you on a free call which plan covers that.
Yes. Most of the work happens on your Google Business Profile and your website, so we look after Laois businesses by phone, video call and WhatsApp from our office in Co. Dublin. Every month we check your rankings from the centre of Portlaoise and each other town you want.
You can be found across county lines, but nobody ranks everywhere from one address. Start by being the strongest result near you, then add service areas, town pages and reviews for places like Portarlington, Monasterevin or Tullamore. SEO Growth covers up to 3 areas and SEO Pro up to 5.
Usually, yes. In the smaller Laois towns only a few businesses in each trade have a complete Google profile and steady reviews, so doing the basics properly can move you up quickly. Portlaoise takes longer because more businesses are already working on it.
List the towns you really serve as service areas (Google allows up to 20), but don’t expect to rank in all of them at once. Start with the town you’re based in and Portlaoise, then build out with town pages and reviews from customers in each place.
No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Google decides rankings, and even Google says nobody can guarantee a #1 spot. What we do promise is specific. On every SEO plan: higher on Google for your tracked searches by day 90, or your next month is free until you are. On SEO Pro: Top 3 on Google Maps for your main search within 6 months, or your next month is free, and every month after that until we get there. The full terms are on our guarantee page.
No, never. You add us as a Manager on your Google Business Profile (Business Profile settings → People and access → Add → Manager, then enter our email). You stay the owner, we never see your password, and you can remove us any time.
No long-term contract on any plan. You can cancel with 30 days’ notice. Your website stays live during the notice period and we export your files to you on request.
It depends on your trade, your town and the competition. Fixing your Google profile and website basics can help within weeks, and our 90-day promise covers your first three months. Competitive searches usually take a few months of steady work, which is why the Top 3 guarantee runs over 6 months.
Phone Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. We reply the same working day.
