What we do each month
What our local SEO covers
Most people pick a business from the three listings under the map before they scroll to the websites below it. Getting into that group comes down to six pieces of work, and we handle all six for you, every month.
Eircode, name, address and phone
One version of your details everywhere. An old phone number or a mistyped Eircode on a single directory can split your signals between two listings, so we find and fix every copy.
Irish citations
Listings on Irish business directories, trade bodies and chamber sites, checked and corrected by hand. Quality counts more than volume, so we skip the sites nobody in Ireland reads.
Reviews, earned the right way
A short request by text or email after each job, plus a reply to every review you get. We never buy, write or swap reviews. Fake reviews break Google's rules and can get a profile suspended.
County and town pages
A page on your website for each county or town you cover, written with its own detail. This is how a business in Naas can show for searches in Newbridge, Kildare town and beyond.
Local links and mentions
Mentions from local newspapers, sports clubs, sponsorships, suppliers and trade bodies in the counties you work in. These tell Google you are a real, known business in that area.
Map pack results
Real numbers from Google Business Profiles
Few agencies working in Irish local search show any results at all. We show ours with three conditions: the numbers come from call tracking, they count Google Business Profile contacts only, and these clients are overseas businesses, as our Irish client work is new. Names and dates are left out.
Laser clinic · United States2,668
Calls, forms and texts from the clinic's Google Business Profile over seven months. Every month landed between 333 and 455 contacts, all tracked to the profile.
HVAC firm · United States40 to 346
Monthly profile contacts went from 40 in the first month to 346 in the fourth, then settled between 118 and 221 a month after the seasonal peak.
Balloon and event decor · United States61 to 247
Monthly profile contacts rose in each of the seven months, from 61 in the first month to 247 in the seventh, with no paid ads in these numbers.
56 to 173
A dental practice went from 56 to 173 profile contacts a month on the same work: profile care, citations, reviews flow and location pages.
Screenshots are cropped from the call tracking dashboard. Account names, dates and any paid ad rows are removed. Past results show what the work has done for other businesses, not what any one business will get.
Across Ireland
Local search across the 26 counties
Ireland has 410,205 businesses, and a third of them are in County Dublin. That shapes how local SEO works outside the capital. A plumber in Dublin competes with hundreds of listings within a few kilometres. A roofer in Waterford may be one of a handful, but customers search across the whole county and the map pack shows whoever Google trusts most for that wider area.
We start with five areas, each with its own page and its own map pack check, and add county pages as our clients need them. Every county page is written for that county: its towns, its business parks and the searches people there use.
1 in 3Irish businesses are based in County Dublin, so the rest of the country is a different contest
Trades first
Built for Irish trades and builders
80,005construction firms in Ireland, one business in every five, with 22,521 in Dublin alone
Trades win more work from the map pack than almost any other sector. A burst pipe or a slipped slate is searched for on a phone, nearby, today, and the caller rings one of the first three names. Our construction SEO in Ireland is built around that moment.
Builders and contractors
Extension, renovation and new build searches, with project photos and county pages that match where you take jobs.
Plumbers and heating
Emergency and boiler searches, service areas set correctly, and reviews that mention the work you want more of.
Electricians
Rewires, EV chargers and fault calls, with categories and services that match how customers describe the job.
Roofers
Storm damage and repair searches spike after bad weather. Your profile and pages are ready before the phones ring.
Industries we help
Thirteen sectors, each with its own page
Each industry page covers how that sector searches in Ireland, what shows in its map pack and what we change first. Trades lead, and clinics, professional firms and hospitality follow.

A local SEO agency, without a borrowed Dublin address
We are a remote agency. Our team has worked in local search for more than 13 years, for businesses in Australia, the United States and the UK, and now Ireland. We do not claim an office in Ireland, and we will never put a fake Irish address or phone number on our site or yours.

How Google picks
How "near me" searches pick a business
When someone types "electrician near me" in Ennis or "dentist Ballincollig", Google ranks the map pack on three things. Our team does not need to be in Ireland to work on two of them, and the third is about where your business is, not where we are.
1
Distance
How far your business, or your service area, is from the person searching. Nobody can move this for you, but a correct service area makes sure Google counts you in.
2
Relevance
How well your profile and pages match the search. Categories, services, page content and reviews that name the job all count, and this is where most profiles fall short.
3
Prominence
How well known you are. Reviews, citations, local links and mentions build it month by month, which is why local SEO is ongoing work.

Questions
Local SEO in Ireland, answered
The questions Irish business owners ask us most before they start.
Ask us something else
We reply by email within one working day, 8am to 4pm Irish time.
hello@irelandlocalseo.comSend a questionHow much does local SEO cost in Ireland?
Published Irish prices start around €200 a month plus VAT, and one Dublin agency lists €350 to €750 plus VAT with a six month minimum. Our Local plan is €179 a month with no VAT added, and Kickstart is a one-off €295.
How long does local SEO take to work?
Profile fixes often show in the map pack within four to eight weeks. Citations, reviews and county pages build over three to six months. Busy categories in Dublin take longer than the same trade in a smaller county.
Do you have an office in Ireland?
No. We are a remote agency and say so openly. Everything we do runs through your Google Business Profile, your website and online listings, so the work does not need a local office.
Which counties do you cover?
All 26. Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford have their own pages now, and we add a county page whenever a client needs one, written for that county.
Can you manage my Google Business Profile?
Yes. You add us as a manager, and you stay the owner. We handle categories, services, photos, posts, questions and review replies, and you can remove our access at any time.
Do I need an Eircode on my profile?
If customers visit you, yes, and it should match your website and listings exactly. If you travel to customers, you can hide your address and set a service area instead.
Is there a contract or minimum term?
No minimum term. Plans roll monthly and you can stop with 30 days notice. There is no setup fee on any monthly plan.
Do you charge VAT?
No VAT is added to our prices. If your business is VAT registered, your accountant can tell you how services bought from outside Ireland are treated on your returns.
Does local SEO help with AI search and Google Maps answers?
Yes. AI answers and Google's AI Overviews lean on the same signals: a complete profile, consistent listings, reviews and clear service pages. Our National plan adds a monthly check of what AI tools say about you.
Can I get a free audit first?
Yes. Send your website and email and we send a short audit within one working day, with your map pack position and the first three fixes we would make.
