Local SEO: our approach
When a customer types “restaurant Agadir”, “dentist Inezgane” or “travel agency near me”, Google first displays a map with three businesses: the “local pack”. Appearing there multiplies calls, direction requests and in-store visits.
We optimise your Google Business Profile listing, make your contact details (name, address, phone number) consistent across the web, grow your customer reviews and, where useful, create dedicated pages for each area you serve: Agadir, Inezgane, Aït Melloul, Taghazout, Taroudant, Tiznit…

The local searches that make the difference in Agadir
Local SEO doesn’t target a single keyword, but all the ways your customers look for a professional near them:
- Business type + city: “electrician Agadir”, “lawyer Inezgane”, “driving school Aït Melloul”.
- Business type + neighbourhood or landmark: “pharmacy Talborjt”, “restaurant marina Agadir”, “car rental Agadir airport”.
- “Near me” searches: “dentist near me”, “café open now”.
- Tourist searches: “surf camp Taghazout”, “Paradise Valley tour”, in French, English or German.
- Questions put to AI tools: “which plumber should I choose in Agadir?”, “where can I eat fresh fish in Agadir?”
Our local SEO method, step by step
- Diagnosis: analysis of your listing, your reviews and the businesses occupying the local pack for your key searches.
- Google Business Profile listing optimisation: categories, services, description, photos, attributes and special opening hours (Ramadan, public holidays).
- NAP consistency and citations: the same name, address and phone number on your website, on your social media and in Moroccan and industry directories.
- Review strategy: a short link and QR code, a template message to send after each service, a reply to every review.
- Website: localised service pages, LocalBusiness structured data, a map, call and WhatsApp buttons.
- Monthly tracking: calls, direction requests, clicks to your website and rankings for your local searches, measured from several points across the city.
The mistakes that make a Google listing drop
- Adding keywords to the business name (“Practice X – Best Dentist Agadir”): Google prohibits this and penalises it.
- Using a fake address, or a virtual office address that isn’t open to the public, to create an additional listing.
- Buying reviews or offering something in return for a positive review.
- Leaving incorrect opening hours, especially during Ramadan, or a phone number that nobody answers.
- Ignoring negative reviews instead of responding to them calmly.
How far afield can you rank?
In Google Maps, the proximity between the searcher and the business carries a lot of weight: a business located in Agadir will struggle to appear in the local pack for a search made in Taroudant. For cities where you have no address, the strategy relies on the classic organic results: genuinely useful local pages, examples of your work in those cities and links from local websites. Creating fake addresses is never the answer.

Frequently asked questions: Local SEO
How do you get into the Google Maps top 3 in Agadir?
Three factors dominate: the relevance of your listing (category, services, description), proximity to the searcher and prominence (number and quality of reviews, citations, links, website). We work on each of these levers.
My Google listing is suspended or can’t be found. Can you help?
Yes. We check that the listing complies with Google’s guidelines, correct the information and guide you through the verification or reinstatement process.
I don’t have commercial premises. Can I still do local SEO?
Yes. Businesses that travel to their customers can declare a service area instead of a visible address, and rely on local pages for each city they cover.
How many reviews do you need to rank well?
There is no magic number: what matters is how you compare with the businesses that already appear in the local pack for your searches, as well as how regular and recent your reviews are. A few reviews every month are better than a one-off wave followed by months of silence.
Do reviews in Arabic or Darija (Moroccan Arabic) count?
Yes, all genuine reviews count, whatever their language. Ideally, reply in the language the customer used: it is more courteous and more personal.
Does local SEO help you get recommended by AI tools?
Yes. Assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity partly rely on the same sources: business listings, directories, reviews and websites. Complete, consistent information everywhere increases your chances of being cited when a user asks for a recommendation in Agadir.
