02 / WHAT'S DIFFERENT
How SEO in Cork is different
People in Cork search with local place names: “Douglas”, “Ballincollig”, “the Marina”. A business with an address in Cork but no mention of the areas it serves often loses to smaller competitors who spell it out.
Cork also has its own media, directories and business networks. Links and mentions from Cork sites carry real weight, both for Google and for AI tools deciding who to recommend in Cork.
- Cork-specific keyword research, area by area
- A Google Business Profile with the right categories and service area
- Area pages only where you actually work, with real local jobs and photos
- Links from Cork media, clubs and organisations
- Monthly Maps tracking across a grid around your business
