At this moment, people in your area are searching for what you do. They are searching on Google. They are looking at the first three results and making a decision. If your business is not there, that enquiry goes to whoever is.
Your customers are searching for what you do
Every day, people in your area search for physiotherapists, architects, vets, accountants and every other local service. Most of that search happens on Google. Most of it ends at the first three results. Businesses that appear there capture the enquiry. Businesses that do not, do not.
Your competitors are showing up first
If your practice or firm is not appearing in local search results — in the map pack or the top organic positions — that enquiry goes to whoever is. Not because the competition is better. Because they are better positioned. Position in local search is a decision, not luck.
Your website is not working hard enough
A website that does not clearly signal location, service specificity, and local authority to Google will not rank for local queries — regardless of how well it looks. Structure, schema, and consistency matter more than design in local search.
This is not a visibility problem in the abstract sense. It is a specific, measurable gap between the searches happening in your area and the traffic your business is capturing. Acuity Found closes that gap.
What local search means for an Irish business
Local search is the combination of organic search results and the map pack — the three business listings that appear above the regular results for location-based queries. Appearing in the map pack is the highest-value position in local search. It displays before the organic results, drives disproportionate click-through for service businesses, and is anchored to your Google Business Profile rather than your website alone.
For most Irish SMEs in service industries, local search is the primary unpaid demand channel. A physiotherapy clinic that ranks in the map pack for searches like "physiotherapist Naas" or "physio Kildare" captures clients at the moment of highest intent — when they have already decided they need the service and are choosing a provider. The same logic applies to architects, vets, accountants, solicitors, financial advisors, and dental practices across Ireland.
Ireland has specific characteristics that make local search more valuable than international benchmarks suggest. Population density is lower than the UK or continental Europe, which means search volume for individual local queries is also lower — but so is the competition. A practice in Mullingar, Kilkenny, or Tralee is typically competing against a handful of local businesses, not hundreds. The gap between ranking and not ranking is easier to close than most Irish SMEs assume.
Local search optimisation is not the same as general SEO. It requires specific work on your Google Business Profile, structured data on your site, location-specific page content, and a consistent, structured ongoing process. Done properly, it compounds over time. Done once and left, it decays. Google Business Profile activity, review signals, and content freshness all affect local ranking on an ongoing basis.
The service
Three tiers, depending on where you are starting from. All pricing excludes VAT.
| Audit-to-Rebuild | Rebuild + MonthlyRecommended | Monthly Only | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | €1,500 | €1,500 | — |
| Monthly | — | €750 | €500 |
| Best for | Bad site, real demand | Default | Decent site, weak ongoing execution |
Audit-to-Rebuild
We audit the full local search position, identify the specific gaps, rebuild what needs rebuilding, and hand over a site that supports the searches that matter. No ongoing retainer required. Recommended for businesses with a defined local market, clear demand, and a site that is simply not performing.
Rebuild + Monthly
The standard engagement. Setup covers the full audit and rebuild. Monthly covers the ongoing work — Google Business Profile updates, structured data maintenance, local content updates, and a one-page monthly report. This is the tier most clients start on.
Monthly Only
For businesses where the site is already well-structured and the Google Business Profile is in reasonable shape — but the ongoing execution is inconsistent or has been neglected. We take over the monthly process without rebuilding what already works.
Not sure which tier applies to your situation? The 20-minute review will tell you.
How it works
We diagnose your local search position
We map exactly where you appear — and where you disappear — for the local search terms your customers actually use. No assumptions. Specific queries, specific positions, specific gaps.
We rebuild what needs rebuilding
Where your site structure, page content, schema, or Google Business Profile are holding you back, we fix them. Completely and correctly — not with a patch that degrades over three months.
We optimise weekly using a defined ruleset
Local search performance is maintained through consistent, structured action — not one-off fixes. We run the weekly process on your behalf so the position compounds rather than decays.
You get a one-page monthly report
One page. Ranking movement, enquiry trends, and the three things we did last month. No dashboards to log into, no metrics that exist for their own sake, no noise.
There is no discovery phase that runs for months. The first review takes 20 minutes. If we can help, we will tell you exactly what we would do and what it would cost. If we cannot, we will tell you that too.
What we do not do
Acuity Found is a focused service. Its value comes from doing one thing well — positioning Irish service businesses to capture local search demand — rather than being a full-service digital marketing agency. Clarity on scope is part of what makes it work.
- Volume content production
- Generic SEO retainers
- Vanity metric reporting
- Aggressive ad spend with no measurement
If you need something outside this scope, we will tell you plainly — and point you in a useful direction.
Who this is for
Acuity Found is built for Irish businesses where local search is the primary demand channel. Three sectors where this matters most:
Physiotherapy and clinics
Patients search by location before they search by practitioner name. A clinic that appears in the map pack for 'physiotherapist [town]' and related queries captures bookings that would otherwise go to whoever ranks above them. For most Irish physiotherapy practices, local search is the single highest-return marketing channel available — and the one most consistently under-invested in.
Architects
Residential and commercial clients in Ireland consistently begin the search for an architect locally. A practice ranking for '[county] architect', 'planning permission architect [town]', or 'house extension architect [area]' captures enquiries at the moment of intent — when the client has already decided to build and is choosing who to work with.
Veterinary practices
Emergency and routine vet searches are intensely local. Clients do not travel for a vet unless there is no alternative. Practices that rank in the local map pack and hold the top organic positions for their area see sustained increases in new patient registrations — particularly for first-time pet owners who have no established practice relationship.
Other sectors where local demand is the primary growth lever — legal, accountancy, dental, financial planning — are equally relevant. The common thread is not the sector: it is that most customers come from within a 20–30km radius, and they find service providers the way most people do in 2026 — by searching. If that describes your business, local search is the lever.
