More of the people already searching for what you sell, at home in Naas or at work in Dublin, find your business first and get in touch. For a Kildare business the monthly numbers are calls and direction requests from your Google profile, website enquiries, and the AI answers that name you, or a rival, when someone asks for a business like yours in Kildare. We also show which towns those calls come from, which matters in a county where people move about so much. - A free audit first: how you show up today on Google, Google Maps and AI tools. - A written plan of the searches and towns to aim for, agreed with you before anything changes. - We make the changes, and you approve anything your customers will see. - One page of results every month, and a call whenever you want one. - No ranking promises: Google itself says no one can guarantee the top spot. **What you get** | What you get | What it means for you | | --- | --- | | Found for the searches that matter | Your services and your towns, in the words your customers type into Google. | | A Google Business Profile that works | Complete, accurate and kept active, so Google Maps shows you to people nearby. | | Named in AI answers | Plain facts about your business that ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI results can find and repeat. | | A monthly report in plain English | Calls, Maps views and the AI answers that mention you, on one page. | ## Where in County Kildare do your customers search? Kildare has no one centre. Naas, Newbridge, Maynooth, Celbridge and Leixlip each have their own customers, and many of those customers work in Dublin. When someone searches near me, Google weighs distance from where they are standing. A Kildare customer may search from home in the evening and from a Dublin office at lunchtime, so a business should name the towns it serves and keep its profile right, because the profile is what both searches see. Maynooth has its university, Kildare town has the outlet village and the racecourses bring visitors, and the south of the county around Athy looks towards Carlow and Laois. **Main towns in County Kildare, and how far each is from Gorey** | Town | From Gorey Business Park | | --- | --- | | Naas | About 65 km | | Newbridge | About 65 km | | Maynooth | About 80 km | | Celbridge | About 75 km | | Leixlip | About 80 km | | Kildare town | About 70 km | | Athy | About 60 km | Straight-line distances, rounded to the nearest 5 km. ## Which Kildare businesses do we help get found? More than 114,800 people were at work in County Kildare in April 2022, up 20% since 2016. Retail, health and manufacturing employed the most, according to the CSO. Manufacturing in Kildare runs from global plants to small engineering shops, and much of it sells to other businesses, who research suppliers with longer questions before they ever ring. The horse industry is its own market: breeders, trainers, farriers and feed merchants are found by name and reputation, often by buyers outside Ireland. Retail and health, the two biggest employers, still live on Google Maps, reviews and clear facts about how to book. Figure: Wholesale and retail, health and social work and manufacturing employed the most people in County Kildare at Census 2022.

For new software, yes. [Local Enterprise Office Kildare](https://www.localenterprise.ie/Kildare/) runs the Grow Digital Voucher, paying 50% of eligible costs from €500 up to €5,000. SEO is not one of the things it pays for. Grow Digital is for new off-the-shelf software, such as a booking, ordering or stock system, plus its set-up and training. It does not cover bespoke websites, advertising or SEO. Your business needs 1 to 50 paid employees, six months of trading and a Digital for Business review in the past two years, and the application must go in before you spend anything. If new software is on your list, we can quote the SEO around it so customers can find the new booking or ordering page. 1. **Talk to Local Enterprise Office Kildare** (Before you spend anything, Free to ask): Ask about Digital for Business, the review that comes first. 2. **Digital for Business** (Within two years before you apply, Subsidised: your office sets the cost): A review of how your business uses digital tools, which the voucher needs. 3. **Grow Digital Voucher** (Apply before the work starts, 50% of eligible costs, €500 to €5,000): Half the cost of eligible new software, its set-up and training. ## How does a Gorey agency compare with the other options?

Yes, for the things people will travel home for, like a dentist, a mechanic or a gym. Searches made near a Dublin office favour Dublin businesses, so your profile and pages need to make your town and opening hours clear. The monthly report shows where your calls really come from. ### Can a Kildare equine business be found by buyers abroad? Yes. Buyers looking for a horse, a stud or a trainer often search by name, bloodline and service rather than by town, and some now ask AI tools for a shortlist. Clear pages in plain English, with facts that match your other listings, give Google and the AI tools something solid to show them. ### Is Kildare too close to Dublin for a local business to stand out? No. For near me searches Google weighs distance, so a Celbridge or Athy business has an edge with people nearby that no Dublin firm can buy. What decides it is a complete, accurate profile, good reviews and pages that say what you do and where. The audit shows how you compare today. ### Will visitors to Kildare Village or the races find my business? They can, if your Google profile shows you are close and open when they are in town. People finishing a day at the outlet village or the Curragh look for food, a pint or a place to stay on their phones. Your report shows how many asked Google for directions to you. ### We sell to other businesses. Does SEO still matter in Kildare? Yes. A buyer choosing a supplier checks your website and reviews before they call, and often searches with a detailed question. Clear pages about what you do, for whom and where, help you appear for those questions and in AI summaries. Your Google profile still matters for anyone visiting a trade counter. ### Can you work alongside our own marketing person in Kildare? Yes. If someone in your team handles social media or a newsletter, they keep it, and we look after search, your Google profile and AI answers. The quote covers only our part, so nothing is paid for twice, and your colleague gets the same monthly report you do. Still have a question?
