Who Is Local Edge Marketing
Hi, I’m Claire, and I’m the person behind Local Edge Marketing.
Like many local business owners, this didn’t start with a big plan or a flashy agency – it started with a real business and a real problem.
My husband runs a local kitchen fitting business and when he needed a website that actually showed his work and brought in enquiries, I decided to build one myself. I had previously worked in website design and after some time away raising our son, I put those skills to use creating a site that wasn’t just nice to look at, but built to be found on Google.
That’s where everything changed!
Within just a few months, his business was appearing on the first page of Google for local kitchen fitting searches. Between the website, Google Business Profile and organic listings, his business was consistently being seen by people actively searching for his services.
Seeing those results firsthand is what inspired Local Edge Marketing.
Built For Real Local Businesses
Local Edge Marketing exists for one simple reason – to help local businesses get found, chosen, and grow steadily online.
I know how challenging it can be to stand out as a local business. You are great at what you do, but online visibility can feel confusing, time consuming, and often overwhelming. My approach is about cutting through the noise and focusing on what actually works at a local level.
There are no guarantees when it comes to Google – and anyone who promises a number one spot isn’t being honest. What I do know is how Google works, what it looks for and how to build websites and systems that give local businesses the best possible chance of showing up where it matters.
That knowledge is based on real results, not theory.
The Local Edge Method
Over time, this hands-on experience became The Local Edge Method – a practical approach built around visibility, trust and simple systems that support long-term growth.
It’s the same method I use when working directly with clients and the same principles behind the course I’m developing for local business owners who want to understand and improve their own online presence step by step.
Whether you want everything handled for you, or you prefer to learn and apply it yourself, the goal is the same:
to make your business easier to find, easier to choose and easier to trust.
