A free audit of your acquisition, delivered within 48 h.
Everything starts from public, verifiable data. Strengths are written from each agency’s website; no rating or figure is made up.
Score = (reviews ÷ (reviews + 20)) × rating + (20 ÷ (reviews + 20)) × 4.88. 4.88 is the average rating of the verified pool. An agency rated 5.0 on 12 reviews therefore does not automatically beat one rated 4.9 on 90 reviews.
Your Google Business Profile must stay in your name, with the agency only as a manager. Get it written into the contract.
Posts, photos, review replies, categories, local pages, directory citations: ask for the monthly list and who produces it.
Asking for reviews is allowed; buying them or filtering out unhappy customers is not. Ask how the agency gets and answers reviews.
Require rank tracking across a grid of your area (not a single query), and above all calls, directions and enquiries coming from the listing.
For a network, check the agency can manage dozens of listings and local pages without duplicate content.

Lire l'articleA local SEO agency makes a business visible to customers in its area: optimising and running the Google Business Profile, managing reviews, website pages per city or district, consistent directory citations. The goal is to appear in Google Maps’ “local pack” and turn those views into calls and enquiries.
Yes, provided it can work at scale: one listing and one local page per location, distinct content, tracking by area. The agencies above mostly work for shops, tradespeople and small businesses; for a national network, ask for examples of multi-site projects.
We start from our database of 4,648 agency listings taken from Google Maps. We remove closed, rejected listings and those with no website, no Google listing or fewer than 10 reviews, we merge duplicates (an agency present in several cities counts once), then we check on each agency’s website that local SEO is the service it actually leads with. The remaining agencies are ranked by their Google rating weighted by review count (Bayesian rating). Ratings and reviews were checked on 29 October 2026.
No. No agency was contacted or paid, and none can buy its place. An agency that closes its Google listing or drops below the review threshold leaves the list automatically.
Uclic publishes this comparison and lists itself first, and says so clearly. Its position is not computed with the formula: the agencies that follow are ranked solely by their Google rating weighted by review count.
