When someone nearby searches for what you do, you're either in the Map Pack or you're invisible. We optimise your local presence so nearby customers find you first.
These are the problems we solve every day for businesses like yours.
Your competitors show up in the Map Pack while nearby customers searching for exactly what you offer never see your name.
Different addresses, phone numbers, or business names across directories confuse Google and drag down your local rankings.
Businesses with more genuine positive reviews rank higher in local search and win more of the clicks. Without a review system, you fall further behind every month.
Generic pages that never mention your service areas hand local search traffic to whoever bothered to write location pages.
Here's what the work covers.
Your listing optimised and kept active for local visibility
Your name, address, and phone consistent across every directory
A system for earning and responding to genuine reviews
Location pages that capture demand in every area you serve
Tracking and a dated baseline are set up alongside the audit, and anything stopping Google indexing the site is fixed first. Where a step needs something from your side, it ends with "From you".
Your profile is what shows in Google's map results. This is what we set up in month one, and what we keep doing after that.
Whitespark's 2026 Local Search Ranking Factors ranks the primary category as the strongest factor for the local map results. We choose the most specific one that names what you do, then add every relevant secondary category.
The business description written out in full, up to the 750 characters Google allows, and each service added with its own description.
Name, address and phone exactly as they appear on your site, your service area or address, and your hours, including holiday hours.
Outside, inside, your team, and your work or products. Products or a menu are added too, where they apply.
Your first Google Posts go up at set-up. After that, new posts are part of the monthly routine below.
Regular posts and new photos, services and hours kept current, and the profile insights reported to you.
A real local SEO project, and the parts of the work on this page that it needed.

What we did
Your name, address and phone should read the same everywhere a customer or Google finds them. We fix them one listing at a time, starting with Google, Bing Places, Apple Maps, Yellow, Finda, NZPages and Localist.
Google says more reviews and positive ratings can help local ranking. Reviews come from a routine, not from remembering to ask, so we set the routine up once and it runs after every job.
We ask for genuine reviews only, and we answer every one on your profile promptly, including the negative ones.
A direct review link
One link that takes a customer straight to leaving a review on your profile.
A request script
Wording you and your team can use when you ask in person or by message.
An automatic email or text after each job
The request goes out when the job is done, so nobody has to remember.
The link where customers already look
On your email signatures, invoices and receipts.
Reviews shown on your website
A Google review widget on your site, so visitors see them too.
Ongoing local SEO is a set routine. These are the jobs on our list each month and each quarter, and the rules we hold to.
How we work on your local search.
Quantities set in your plan
How many posts, refreshes and links you get each month is agreed in your plan, not padded to fill a report.
Links we will not build
No forum spam, blog commenting for links, social bookmarking, article submission sites or classified submissions.
Disavow only for a real problem
We review your backlinks at the start, and disavow only if the review finds genuinely toxic links.
No ranking guarantees
Nobody controls Google's results, so we don't promise positions. We show you the work and what it changed.
Before the first report, enquiries are tracked and a dated baseline is recorded, so the report can show leads, not just traffic.
Someone nearby searches for what you do.
They find your Business Profile in the map results, or a page on your website.
They call, send an enquiry, or ask for directions.
Website forms, calls and sales are recorded as key events in Google Analytics. Profile calls and direction requests come from your profile insights.
Each figure labelled with its source and date range: traffic beside last month and last year, keyword positions against where we started.
Built from Google Analytics, Search Console, your Business Profile and our rank tracking.
Organic traffic
Sessions from organic search, and clicks and impressions from Search Console, month on month and year on year.
Organic enquiries
Form submissions, calls and sales from organic search.
Keyword positions
Your tracked keywords and how they have moved since we started, plus how many sit in the top 3, 10, 20 and 100.
Your Business Profile
Views, calls, direction requests and review count.
The work done
Content published and refreshed, and links earned, counted as referring domains rather than Domain Authority.
Next month
Next month's priorities. No padding: no counts of bookmarks, pings, directory submissions or forum posts.

If Google can't crawl, index, and render your site properly, nothing else in SEO works. We find and fix the speed problems, crawl issues, and indexing barriers holding your rankings back.
On-page SEO is the part of ranking you control completely. We optimise your content, meta tags, and page structure so each page targets the searches that actually bring in customers.
Backlinks are still one of the strongest signals Google uses to decide who deserves the top spots. We earn quality, relevant links that build your site's authority properly.
Publishing more isn't a strategy. We plan content around keyword research, search intent, and your business goals, so every piece you publish has a realistic chance of ranking and a reason to exist.
Real reviews from the businesses we have built, ranked and run campaigns for.
“Our CPA dropped by 66% and lead quality increased 200-300%. Not only almost immediately, but consistent for the last few months.”
We’ve been working with Jason from Lucid Media and couldn’t recommend him more. He’s been a fast communicator, proactive, and always willing to help. Jason goes above and beyond with providing recommendations and support.
The websites he’s built and implemented for us have been excellent. He has captured our business perfectly and ensured that it is user friendly on both desktop/mobile. Fantastic service!
Jason and his team have been fantastic to work with from the initial website design and with the ongoing maintenance. They built us a really professional and well-designed site that represents our business well and it has been great having their continued support.
It is nice to know someone reliable can manage our website and make sure it stays ranking on Google. They are always responsive when we need updates or changes made, and their technical expertise gives us peace of mind.
“I’ve had around 10 websites developed over the years, and Jason is by far the best web developer I’ve ever worked with.”
I have been working with Jason for a year now and he is absolutely brilliant, honest and reliable. His client first approach has meant his work is always on time and to a high standard.
Most of all he actually gets the results he says he will.
Communication with him is always smooth and effortless. The website he created for me exceeded my expectations in every way. I’m genuinely impressed with both the design and the overall structure.
I’m looking forward to seeing what else the website can bring to me. If you’re thinking about building a website, Jason is definitely the person to go to.
“Absolutely great in delivering our e-commerce website. A great experience from start to finish, and even beyond.”
Working with Jason @ Lucid Media on our website was a great experience from start to finish. Jason brought our vision to life with creativity and professionalism; he understood what we were after, and this could be seen in the result.
The design is clean and modern, and the functionality is exactly what we needed. Communication was smooth throughout the entire process, and deadlines were always met. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-tier web design and development.
I had Lucid Media do some SEO work for us and I'm super impressed with the results. Jason also took the time to educate me deeply on the topic so I didn't feel like everything was smoke and mirrors like I have had with previous agencies.
Working with Lucid Media was an excellent experience from start to finish. They took the time to thoroughly analyse our previous website, understand our product, and align with our company goals before creating a new, professional layout and copy.
They truly went above and beyond, exceeding expectations at every step. I genuinely enjoyed the collaboration and look forward to working with them again in the future.
I had a call with Jason and was so impressed by how in-depth it was. He really listened, understood where I’m at, and gave me a clear action plan that I can actually use.
It was practical, straightforward, and made me feel confident moving forward with my ads. I couldn’t recommend working with him enough.
“We wanted to bring our idea for an app to life. He turned our ideas into reality.”
Lucid Media provides great service, quickly establishing and refining our website. They are always available to us when we need changes made.
Expert in SEO which is critical, our company now ranks at the top of Google searches, alongside our international suppliers but ahead of other agents around the world. We totally recommend Lucid as a highly competent and committed website developer and manager.
We had previously used another digital company for our website and digital marketing… things went downhill quickly, and our business suffered badly.
Within 30 minutes, we were on a Teams meeting discussing the problems we were facing. By 2am, Jason had sent us a detailed report… By 4pm, our Google Ads were back up and running.
Everything was turned around in less than 24 hours… seeing results that quickly was honestly incredible.
Jason and the team at Lucid Media have helped get our business back on solid ground… Young, full of energy, passionate, and genuinely driven to help businesses succeed.
Jason created our JunkBoss company website from start to finish. He always responded immediately, shared great ideas, and the final site looks spectacular!!
Highly recommend to anyone looking to get their website done.
“They took the time to understand our vision and business needs, translating them into a stunning, user-friendly website.”
Communication was insanely good, the work Jason provided me with was on a new level and blew me away. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for you then he is your man.
From the start, Jason has taken the time to understand my business properly rather than just pushing a generic marketing setup. We’ve built out a new website, landing pages, CRM integration, Google Ads and Meta campaigns, and the attention to detail across everything has been excellent.
What stands out most is his responsiveness and willingness to adapt quickly. Any time we’ve needed changes or seen something in the data, he’s on it straight away and is always looking for ways to improve performance rather than just letting campaigns run.
The key difference is that he genuinely feels invested in the success of the business, not just running ads in the background.
“He was really acting in our best interests and went beyond what we were expecting him to achieve.”
When the finance company I manage, Fee Funders, changed ownership, Lucid Media took over all aspects of our IT and technology, and the impact has been outstanding. Jason quickly learned our legacy systems, implemented critical changes during the transition, and then led the development of our new software platform and reporting systems.
Jason is exceptional across all areas of technology, both front-end and back-end. He’s practical, solutions-focused, and genuinely understands business needs as well as the technical side.
Jason has been awesome to work with over the last few months. Whenever we've had any sort of issue with our website, he is extremely prompt in resolving it. Very professional and helpful, I highly recommend.
“Jason is exceptional, excellent communications, a highly motivated individual. Such rare traits - very happy with his development work for us!”
Jason has been awesome in the work he has done for us. He is fast, very responsive and professional. Would highly recommend.
The team at Lucid Media have provided excellent service while recently coming in to help position J-Tip It to where they need to be!
We are absolutely blown away with their quick responses, smooth customer service and their initiative to stay 10-steps ahead at all times. Results are immediate and the cost is undeniably justified.
If you want to be in safe hands, choose Lucid!
“The site looks clean, professional, and easy to use. He made the whole process super simple and stress-free.”
