Why Cannock businesses are ranked separately
is a ranking factor in local results. Google weighs each search from where the searcher stands, so a position held in one town tells you very little about the town next along.
How far a business is from the person searching. Google names it, as “distance”, as one of three things that decide local results, alongside relevance and prominence.
A campaign built on a neighbouring town’s phrases does not carry across by itself. Two towns means two sets of holders, two packs and two measurements.
What Cannock’s results actually look like
Three agency searches were captured for Cannock on 21 September 2026. All three terms return a full local pack, with nine to ten organic results per term.
The review floor moves with the phrase. It was 1 on “local seo Cannock”, 3 on “digital marketing agency Cannock” and 14 on “seo agency Cannock”. One review cleared the floor on the first of those terms on the day it was measured.
Pack occupancy moves as well. Of the places whose address the capture returned, three were Cannock addresses on “local seo Cannock”, two on “seo agency Cannock” and none on “digital marketing agency Cannock”. Entries returning no address are recorded as unknown and counted in neither direction, so none of those is a headcount of the whole pack.
A low floor is not a promise of a position, and a position is not guaranteed: this is one day’s measurement, not a forecast.
The businesses Cannock Chase actually holds
Cannock Chase, the local authority that contains Cannock, held 3,415 in 2025. ONS publishes no separate business count for Cannock the town, and the district also covers Rugeley and Hednesford, so every figure in this section is a Cannock Chase figure and not a town one.
In ONS business counts, an enterprise is one business: “an organisational unit producing goods or services, which has a certain degree of autonomy in decision-making”.
Within Cannock Chase, construction is the largest section at 22.6%. Wholesale and retail trade including vehicle repair follows at 17.9%, then professional, scientific and technical activities at 11.1%, manufacturing at 8.9%, administrative and support services at 7.9%, and accommodation and food services at 5.8%. The source is ONS Business Counts via Nomis, dataset NM_142_1, pulled on 21 September 2026.
The noun matters as much as the number. That count is of enterprises, meaning businesses, not local units, meaning individual trading sites. Local units are a separate and larger dataset, and mislabelling one as the other is how a figure stops being checkable.
Construction at better than a fifth of the Cannock Chase base is the detail worth planning against. Those customers search by area and by job, which usually means coverage across service pages and area pages matters more than one strong homepage.
What is covered
Six surfaces, the same six the free audit inspects.
Businesses we work with in and around Cannock
Construction and vehicle repair carry a large share of the Cannock Chase business base, and both are sectors this agency already works in. Coverage also includes property maintenance, waste management and house clearance, computer and electronics repair, e-commerce, and medical aesthetics and skincare clinics.
No published client result is held for a Cannock business. The results that do exist are on the results page, each one carrying a named client, a period and a source.

Questions
How many reviews does a Cannock business need to appear in the local pack?
The measured floor ran from 1 to 14 across the three agency terms on 21 September 2026, lowest on “local seo Cannock” and highest on “seo agency Cannock”. Reviews are one signal among several, and a floor describes one day rather than a target.
Are the business figures on this page about Cannock itself?
No. They describe Cannock Chase, the local authority, which also covers Rugeley and Hednesford, because ONS publishes no separate series for the town. They are still worth planning against, provided nobody relabels them as the town.
Do you work with businesses outside Cannock?
Yes. The SEO and web work is delivered remotely across the UK.
What does it cost?
Pricing is published on the pricing page. The audit that comes first is free.
