Most of Phuket's customers are visitors searching in English from the beach they are staying on. We do the SEO, the Google Business Profile and the website that put your business in that beach's results, before they fly and after they check in. Local SEO starts at ฿8,900 a month.

We work online from Bangkok. Send your business name and your beach or part of town on LINE, and we will check where you show up around the island, free, and tell you what to fix first.
When visitors look for Phuket businesses
A visitor's searching comes in four moments, and each is decided somewhere else. Before the flight it happens in Google search; on the island it happens on Google Maps. The business that gets the customer is the one that is in the right place at the moment its own customers search.

Nearly all of these searches are in English, and most carry a beach name. A profile and a site written only in Thai miss these people entirely.
The west-coast monsoon, and why August is the month to start
Phuket's high season runs from about November to April. From about May to October the southwest monsoon brings rain and swell to Patong, Kata and the rest of the west coast. What you do today starts to show on the map two to three months later, so work begun in August is in place for November.

Businesses in town that sell mainly to residents feel the monsoon less than the beach strip. Boat tours and beach restaurants that close for part of it should mark the profile temporarily closed rather than leave the old hours up.
Three profile settings Phuket businesses often get wrong
Local SEO in Phuket starts with a profile that is set up right. These three settings are what make businesses vanish from the map, or collect one-star reviews they never needed.

1The pin sits where you really meet customersA pin on Chalong or Rassada pier is fine when you have a staffed counter there. If guests never come to an office, hide the address and list the areas you pick up from as the service area.
2Hours that follow the seasonIn the months the boats stay in, set temporarily closed or special hours, so nobody walks up to a locked door and leaves one star. Before the season reopens, put the hours back and add new photos.
3Trips and prices in EnglishList each trip with its price and length in English under services, and reply to every review in its writer's language.
Where each kind of Phuket business should start
Each trade meets its customers at a different moment, from weeks before the flight to an hour before dinner, so each starts somewhere else.

Hotels and villas
Many guests choose the beach first and the hotel second, so their searches carry a beach name: "villa Bang Tao", "family hotel Kata". Give each room type its own page with the distance to the sand, the drive from the airport and photos that match the room.
A seafood place is chosen on its photos, its menu and its reviews. If you sell by weight, explain the pricing in the English menu, so nobody is surprised by the bill and no review complains about it later.
Renters search from the hotel on day one and pick the shop that is close and answers fast. The one that shows a daily price, the deposit terms and a WhatsApp button gets the message first.
A spa has to look trustworthy before anyone books, and that comes from photos of the real rooms and fresh reviews. List each treatment with its length and price in English, and let guests book the evening before.
Patients coming to Phuket for dental or medical care often book before they travel. The site should cover your services, your doctors and how appointments work, in the patient's language. The copy we write makes no promise about results and shows no before-and-after photos.
Property agents, yacht charters, Muay Thai camps and wedding planners each have customers who search their own way. Describe yours in a chat and we will point out where those customers look first.
Booking apps bring new guests and take a commission every time. Your own site is where past guests come back to book, and where people who search your tour or hotel by name land. Our team designs hotel, tour and restaurant sites in English and Thai.

What Local SEO costs in Phuket
You pay month by month with nothing to sign, the work is done in a Google account you own, and every month brings a map of where you rank across 25 spots around you.
01You are in Bangkok. How does that work for a Phuket business?
Everything that moves a map ranking can be done online: the profile, the reviews and the website. We work over LINE and email, and the monthly report tracks your position from 25 points around your Phuket address.
02When should we start to be ready for high season in November?
By August, because a map position needs two to three months to change visibly, and a crowded category can take longer. Start once the season is under way and the map usually starts to move around January or February, with busy months still to come.
03We have branches in Patong and Kata. Does each need its own Google profile?
Yes. Each staffed location with its own address gets its own profile, with its own reviews and hours. It matters more here than most places, because someone searching from Kata may never be shown the Patong branch.
04Guests already book us through Klook or TripAdvisor. Do we still need our own site?
You should. The platforms bring new people and take a commission each time. Guests who enjoyed a trip tend to search your name before booking again or sending a friend, and a site with a page per trip and a chat button keeps those bookings. You can stay on the platforms as well.
05Which languages should the profile and the site be in?
English and Thai to start. Every package comes in both, with the copy written by us. If many of your guests read another language, such as Russian or Chinese, tell us in a chat and we will work out how to add it.
06We are in Phuket Town, not on a beach. Can we still show up?
Yes, for people searching in and around town, residents and visitors walking the Old Town alike. A business in town competes with town, not with Patong. The right category, a steady flow of reviews and a description in Thai and English are what help.
07How long before we see results?
On the map, a measurable move usually comes within two to three months. For the website: Most sites see their first searches move within 1 to 3 months. It depends on the competition and the site. We don't guarantee rankings.
Where does your business show up on the Phuket map?
Send us your business name and the beach or part of town you are in. We check your map position for free and tell you plainly where to start.
