Web design & Google Business Profile management in Hove
If your business is based in Hove, on Church Road, near the seafront, or up towards the Portland Road area, your customers are searching for you locally. People in Hove tend to search with a location attached: "hairdresser Hove", "plumber Hove", "cafe near Hove station". I build the website, manage the Google Business Profile, and handle the local listings for those searches.
Web design in Hove
A page aimed at a Hove search gives Google a URL about that service in Hove, such as plumber in Hove or a cafe near Hove station. I build it fast and mobile-first, with clean markup and a proper heading structure.
Every site I build has schema markup so Google can read what you do and where you do it. On Grow I add a new town or service page every quarter, and on Expand every month, each one for a different Hove search.
Google Business Profile management in Hove
Hove has a tight local search market. Someone walking down George Street or waiting at Hove station is searching "plumber Hove" or "hairdresser near me", and Google uses distance and the state of the profile when it builds the map. I cannot see who is taking those searches, but I can get the profile completed and kept active.
I manage Google Business Profiles for Hove businesses: categories, service area, the business description, weekly posts with photos, review replies, and checks that the name, address and phone number still match. If Google suspends a new profile, I prepare the appeal. I have done that once, with Companies House documents and insurance certificates. Google decides each appeal.
Local SEO in Hove
I work on the pieces I can control for Hove searches such as "dentist Hove", "solicitors Church Road" and "restaurant near Hove seafront": the same name, address and phone number, the directory listings, schema, and a page for the service in Hove.
I handle the technical local SEO foundations for Hove businesses: consistent NAP across FreeIndex, Yell, Checkatrade and the other directories Google cross-references; schema markup so search engines understand your business type and service area; and location pages targeting real Hove searches — not just "Hove" bolted onto a generic template, but pages written about the specific service in the specific area. On Grow I add a new town or service page every quarter, and on Expand every month.
