SEO in Kerry, where two different markets search for you.
Kerry businesses are searched for by two entirely separate populations. Visitors planning a trip search from Dublin, Cork or Manchester months ahead, with no local knowledge at all. Residents search locally, all year, for ordinary things.
They use different words, they are in different places, and almost no Kerry business optimises for both deliberately.
What the work consists of
Two audiences, and the profile work that serves both.
Google Business Profile
For a visitor-facing business it is close to the whole game — photographs, hours, reviews and location decide it.
Separate pages for visitor and local demand
A visitor searching 'things to do in Dingle' and a resident searching 'plumber Tralee' need different pages entirely.
Reviews, in volume
Visitors have nothing else to judge you on. This is the most review-dependent county we work in.
Links
Tourism listings, local media, associations. Kerry has more of these genuinely available than most counties.
Distances stated plainly
The Ring roads are slower than a map suggests and customers need to know what you actually cover.
Visitors search months early and from far away
Somebody planning a week in Kenmare is searching in March from somewhere else entirely, and they will never see a result optimised purely for local proximity.
That demand is won with content and reviews rather than with map presence, and it is a completely different job from ranking for a resident in Tralee.
Tralee and Listowel are the steady half
The working towns trade all year and their search demand barely moves with the season, which makes them the more predictable market.
If you serve both tourism and local trade — and plenty here do — they should be treated as two campaigns, not averaged into one.

What it costs
SEO is included in the €1,500 a month. There is no separate SEO fee, no setup fee and no contract beyond the month you are in.
Straight answers.
Yes. They use different words, search from different places and are months apart in timing. One page serving both serves neither well.
More than anywhere else we work. A visitor has nothing else to judge you on before they arrive.
Months ahead, from wherever they live. Being visible in March matters more than being visible in July.
Substantially. One is a working town trading all year, the other is seasonal and visitor-led.
No, and nobody honest does. We report enquiries and what they cost, with rankings as a diagnostic rather than the deliverable.
