Why Aberdeenshire Businesses Need Local SEO
Across Aberdeenshire, from Westhill and Stonehaven to Inverurie, Ellon and Banchory, people use Google to find trades, professional services and places to eat. If you only show up for broad “Aberdeen” searches—or not at all—you’re invisible to the customers right on your doorstep.
- Show up in Google Maps and the local pack when people search from your town
- Rank for town‑specific searches like "[service] Westhill", "[service] Stonehaven" or "[service] Inverurie"
- More local enquiries—people searching by town name are usually ready to visit or call
About Aberdeenshire Towns
Aberdeenshire includes a ring of busy towns around Aberdeen—Westhill with its energy and engineering base, Stonehaven on the coast, market towns like Inverurie, Ellon and Oldmeldrum, and communities further out like Banchory and Alford. Each has its own local business scene and many customers prefer to buy from someone nearby. If you serve one or more of these towns, strong local SEO stops you being overlooked in favour of city‑centre businesses.

Why Aberdeenshire Businesses Need Local SEO
A lot of Aberdeenshire customers would rather buy from someone in their own town or just up the road than from a business in the city. When someone searches "plumber Westhill", "restaurant Stonehaven" or "electrician Inverurie", they want a local option—not a generic Aberdeen result that may not serve their area.
Local SEO helps you:
- Show up in Google Maps when people search "near me" from your town
- Rank for town‑specific searches like "[service] Westhill", "[service] Stonehaven" and "[service] Inverurie"
- Compete with other Aberdeenshire businesses for local customers—not just city‑based competitors
Many Aberdeenshire businesses rely on word of mouth and repeat customers, but local SEO brings a steady flow of new enquiries from people actively searching in your town. It’s especially valuable if you want to grow beyond existing referrals.

Common Local SEO Mistakes Aberdeenshire Businesses Make
Across Aberdeenshire we see the same patterns repeat. Here’s what often costs local businesses enquiries:
- No town names in content: Your website talks about “Aberdeen area” but never mentions Westhill, Stonehaven, Inverurie, Ellon or other towns by name. When someone searches "[service] Westhill", you don’t show up. We add town‑specific content that matches local searches.
- Incorrect Google Business Profile: Wrong address, missing service areas, or no mention of the towns you serve. When someone searches "near me" from those places, you don’t appear. We fix your profile so you show up for the right local searches.
- No local citations: You’re not listed in the main local and industry directories, or your information is inconsistent. Google uses citations to verify your location—missing or wrong citations hurt your local rankings.
- Generic website copy: Your site talks about “Aberdeen” in general but never references the places you actually work. Local businesses need local content. We add Aberdeenshire‑specific details that help you rank in the towns you care about.
These fixes are straightforward but require attention to detail. We handle them so you can focus on running your business across Aberdeenshire.
