Local SEO in the Algarve: be the first business customers find.

Local SEO is the work of getting your business to show up when people search for a service nearby: “hairdresser Lagos”, “pool cleaning Loulé”, “mechanic near me”. In the Algarve many searchers are foreign and type in English, so we work in both languages.

Local SEO rests on three pieces: a complete Google profile, a website with a page for each service and consistent details across the web.

SEO is not sold separately: it is included in our websites and in Google Business. Every website comes with basic SEO; Extended and Large websites come with extended SEO. See SEO and rankings prices.

• Audit and directories — €240. We fix your name, address, phone and opening hours across 15 directories: Google, Apple Maps, Bing, Facebook, Páginas Amarelas, TripAdvisor and more.
• SEO pages — €90 per page. One page per service or town, written for what your customers actually search.
• Extended website — €1,490. Up to 15 pages, a blog, advanced SEO and Google Analytics.
• Reputation — €169/month. Replies to reviews and review requests to real customers.

We do not buy links, build networks of fake sites or write reviews. It works for a few weeks, then Google penalises both the website and the profile. Our SEO is slower to start, but the results last.

Ranking on Google does not come from a trick, but from many small things done consistently. That is why SEO comes included in the work rather than as a separate product:

• Basic SEO, on every website: titles, descriptions, markup for Google, a sitemap and Search Console registration.
• Extended SEO, on Extended and Large websites: more pages for more searches, a blog and Google Analytics to measure what works.
• Google profile: categories, services and regular activity, with monthly management.
• Pages per service or town: for searches you do not yet cover, at €90 per page.

All the figures are on the prices page. To do part of the work yourself, start with our Google Business Profile guide.

Every trade is searched differently. Someone who needs a garage types the town and the problem, and decides in minutes. Villa owners looking for cleaning, pool or garden services often search in English. And in holiday rentals, the name of the property and its reviews count almost as much as the search itself. That is why we write pages for the words your customers use rather than a generic list.

In a national search you compete with the whole country, and results take longer. In a local search such as “barber Portimão”, you compete with few businesses, most without a website of their own. So we almost always start locally: the map and pages for your area bring results sooner, and what we learn there helps with the bigger searches later.

If you work nationwide, we do that too. The method is the same, with more pages and more time.

We work with businesses all over the Algarve. See what we found in each town: Faro, Albufeira, Portimão and Lagos.
