How does Google Maps decide which businesses appear?
Google Maps ranks businesses on relevance, distance and prominence. A fully optimised Google Business Profile, consistent citations, genuine reviews and a website with clear local pages all help you appear in the Map Pack.
What does an SEO agency in Chichester actually do?
An SEO agency in Chichester helps local businesses appear in Google search, Google Maps and AI search when nearby customers look for their services. At Potts Strategies that means technical fixes, Google Business Profile optimisation, local keyword research, service and location pages, and monthly reporting focused on calls and enquiries.
What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation)?
GEO is the practice of making your business easy for AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews to understand, trust and recommend. It builds on strong SEO with clear entity information, structured data and authoritative local mentions.
How do I get my Chichester business recommended by ChatGPT?
AI assistants favour businesses with consistent details across the web, genuine reviews, clear service pages and mentions on trusted local sites. We align your website, Google Business Profile and citations so AI tools can confidently name you for searches in Chichester and across West Sussex.
Is GEO different from local SEO?
They work together. Local SEO earns rankings in Google search and Maps; GEO makes sure the same signals are clear to AI models that summarise answers. Every Potts Strategies SEO plan includes GEO foundations as standard.
How much does SEO cost in Chichester?
Our SEO plans start from £399 per month, with a one-off £150 setup fee and a 3-month minimum term. Every plan includes Google Business Profile optimisation, local keyword research, service and location pages, technical fixes and monthly reporting.
How long does SEO take to work in Chichester?
Local SEO is a steady process rather than an instant fix. Most businesses see early movement within a few months, but timing depends on your starting point, your competition and the work needed.
Do you guarantee Google rankings?
No. Nobody can honestly guarantee a specific ranking on Google. We focus on measurable progress such as visibility, calls and enquiries, and we report on it to you every month.
Will I work directly with the founders?
Yes. James and Nathan plan and deliver the work, so you always know what we are doing and what comes next.
