I run a small UK agency doing SEO and AI visibility work for SME clients — interior design studios, holiday lets, construction, professional services. Looking for someone to take execution work off my plate.

The work

Google Business Profile setup and optimisation. Directory and citation submissions with NAP consistency checks. Publishing approved copy into WordPress, Squarespace, Wix and Webflow. Site audits against a checklist. Third-party listing audits. Basic on-page fixes.

Everything comes through a task queue with a written definition of done. You are not being asked to invent strategy or write client-facing copy from scratch. You are being asked to execute clearly-specified tasks accurately and evidence them.

What I need

Some hands-on local SEO experience, GBP especially. Comfortable in at least two of the CMS platforms above. Careful with detail, because inconsistent NAP data is the exact thing we are paid to fix. Willing to flag a blocker rather than guess or quietly skip it.

Native or near-native written English. Some client-adjacent writing is involved.

Terms

Around 10 hours per week to start, flexible, we are scaling so this will soon grow to full time. Fully remote. Paid £200/w. Overlap with UK hours for a couple of hours daily is helpful but not rigid.

How to apply

Comment or DM with a short note on the local SEO work you have actually done, and one example of a GBP or citation problem you diagnosed and fixed. I will reply to everyone.

Just got back from a long weekend in what's apparently being called the "Notswolds" (the Northamptonshire/Rutland/Stamford area) and, honestly, I think I preferred it to the Cotswolds.

We were after the same pretty stone villages, country pubs, walks and independent shops, but without the crowds. It absolutely delivered.

We based ourselves just outside Stamford and spent the weekend exploring:

• Stamford – one of the nicest market towns I've visited in years. Great cafés, independent shops and beautiful Georgian streets. https://www.visitlincolnshire.com/explore/stamford
• Burghley House – if you like stately homes it's genuinely worth a visit. The gardens are incredible. https://burghley.co.uk
• Rutland Water – hired bikes for a few hours and rode part of the loop. Really peaceful. https://www.anglianwaterparks.co.uk/rutland-water-park
• The Collyweston Slater – had dinner here one evening and it was exactly the kind of cosy village pub we were hoping to find. https://www.collywestonslaterpub.co.uk

We stayed at The Shambles in Collyweston (https://www.collywestoncottages.com/) which made a brilliant base. Really tastefully renovated, lots of character, comfortable without feeling overdone, and close enough that everywhere we wanted to visit was within about 15–20 minutes. It felt like one of those places that's been put together by people who actually care about the details.

The whole area just felt... calmer. Less touristy, easier to park, pubs you could actually get a table in, and some fantastic countryside walks.

Has anyone got any other recommendations for places with a similar feel? Looking for those slightly under-the-radar parts of England that have beautiful towns, good food and countryside, but haven't become as busy as the Cotswolds.

I may have dreamt this, if so you're missing out. But 99.9% sure this is a thing. Please help.
