Local SEO for vets
SEO for vets, so the people nearby find you.
Local search is mostly groundwork. Google needs to understand what you do, where you do it, and that other people vouch for you. Your site also has to be fast enough to be worth ranking.
For vets
What it means in your trade.
Owners search for vet near me, emergency vet, out of hours vet, vets open Sunday, rabbit vet, exotic vet, cat friendly vet, puppy vaccinations or registering with a vet, usually with a place. Map results carry most of this, so each branch needs a complete Google Business Profile with correct categories, hours including bank holidays, photos and reviews answered with care.

The site adds a page for each service or species you want more of, branch pages, fees, and the team with RCVS registration. That groundwork gives each branch a clear, readable presence for owners nearby. It does not fix a position, which depends on distance, reviews and the practices around you.
What is included
Exactly what you get.
Technical foundations: speed, mobile, crawlable structure, proper headings
Schema markup so your services, area and reviews are machine-readable
Google Business Profile set up and matched to the site
Pages for the places you actually cover
Titles and descriptions written for the person searching
Not included: paid links, ranking promises or impression-count reports. We report on enquiries.
Built for vets
Made for your trade.
Every trade asks something different of its website. For a vet, these are the parts built in.
- An out-of-hours line on every page, set in the header or a fixed bar on phones, naming who covers nights.
- An online new client registration form asking for what reception actually needs.
- A fees page with common procedures, and a health plan page setting out what the monthly payment covers.
- Team profiles with names, roles, RCVS registration and interests, without specialist titles the RCVS has not recognised.
- Branch pages with their own hours, team and parking, each connected to its own Google Business Profile.
- Tracking on calls, registrations and bookings, so you can see what the site produces.
What it costs
Included in the rebuild.
There is no separate SEO invoice. The groundwork is part of the £1,400 rebuild, one-off, in about 14 working days.
The free Growth Audit comes first either way, so you find out what is actually wrong before you spend anything.

Questions
The ones that come up.
How long before SEO does anything?
The technical work lands immediately; rankings move over weeks to months. Be wary of any promise of page one within a month.
Do you do SEO as a monthly retainer?
The groundwork is part of the rebuild. Ongoing care at £149 a month keeps it maintained. There is no separate SEO retainer.
How long does a vet practice website rebuild take?
About 14 working days of build once the direction is agreed and your content is in: team details, fees, services, branch information and photos. The free Growth Audit comes first, and you see the site on a private link as it is built, so the practice manager and vets can check every detail before launch.
Will changing websites lose the search traffic we have now?
Pages on your current site that bring visits are kept or redirected to their replacements, so the value they carry transfers. The current site is checked for which pages owners use before anything is removed, and the month after launch is watched closely. Branch pages keep their addresses where they already work well.
Who keeps the out-of-hours details current?
You tell us when the arrangement changes, and it is updated quickly on Growth Care, along with bank holiday hours and the emergency line on every page. Checking the number periodically is part of the routine, because a wrong emergency number can cost an animal time and cost the practice a client's trust.
