ABOUT MY LOCAL SEO GURU

Practical guidance.
Smaller budgets.

We help UK small-business owners understand local SEO and choose a useful next step, without making an agency budget the starting point.

Who this is for

Trades, sole traders, independent shops, hospitality businesses and local service providers. The principles should fit the real business and area it serves, rather than one trade or town.

Who is behind the site

My Local SEO Guru is an Abneos business operated by Alan Clark, a marketing consultant and founder of Abneos and UAEThrive. Alan has editorial responsibility for this site. View Alan’s LinkedIn profile. Our earlier UK and UAE consultancy information remains available at its existing URLs. The main learning journey now focuses on budget-conscious UK owners.

Our network

My Local SEO Guru, Abneos, BizThrive and UAEThrive share common ownership under Alan Clark. Abneos provides marketing and technology services; BizThrive and UAEThrive are business discovery projects for the UK and UAE.

Free guidance first

Guides, checklists and editable message templates are available without an email address. A paid tool should earn its place by solving an identifiable task. We do not promise rankings, calls or revenue.

Relevant background

Alan’s work centres on marketing and business growth, including operating business directory and content projects. This practical small-business context informs the questions covered here. It is not a claim that every product has been used personally or that a particular SEO result can be guaranteed.

How we check tool information

We compare provider pages, note the date checked and explain important limits in ordinary language. The paid products currently shown have not been tested hands-on, so we describe what their published information supports rather than calling them the “best”.

How the site aims to earn income

The intended main income source is affiliate commissions from suitable tools. Verified affiliate links have not yet been configured. Current provider links are standard links. When affiliate links are added, they will be clearly disclosed beside the recommendation.
