What is actually costing you customers in Plymouth.
What it actually takes to rank in Plymouth
About 30% of local visibility sits on your site — profile, local pages, citations, schema — and we run all of it. The other 70% is earned off it: reviews, consistent details, real relevance to Plymouth. No agency can invent that half; we make earning it systematic.
We ran the numbers on Plymouth: 22% of page one is directories and 8 distinct domains share the rest. That is the gap — directories rank because nobody local has earned the position, and a complete profile plus real local pages takes it.
The work itself is the same five levers everywhere — local SEO, technical SEO, content, paid media and conversion work. What changes is the weighting, and in Plymouth that means local signals carry the most weight, because Minneapolis results bleed into Plymouth searches and a clearly local profile is what keeps you from being read as part of that metro.
