More of the people searching for what you sell, in Limerick city, its suburbs and the county towns, choose your business and get in touch. Each month the report shows calls and direction requests from your Google profile, website enquiries, and the AI answers that name you, or a competitor, for searches in Limerick. Because so many city workers live outside the city, it also shows which areas your calls come from, inside the county and beyond it. - 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 Limerick do your customers search? Limerick city draws people in from a wide area: less than half of its workforce lived there at Census 2022, and 1,140 came from Ennis, the largest commuter town. That reach shapes search. Someone who works in the city may look for a dentist or a mechanic near the office by day and near home in the evening, so city businesses should say which areas they serve, and county businesses should make the most of being local. West Limerick has its own markets in Newcastle West, Rathkeale and Abbeyfeale, joined by the Limerick Greenway, while Adare, Lough Gur and King John's Castle bring visitors who choose where to eat and stay from the map. UL and TUS add students and staff who search on their phones. **Main towns in County Limerick, and how far each is from Gorey** | Town | From Gorey Business Park | | --- | --- | | Limerick city | About 155 km | | Newcastle West | About 190 km | | Adare | About 170 km | | Kilmallock | About 155 km | | Abbeyfeale | About 205 km | | Rathkeale | About 180 km | | Castleconnell | About 150 km | Straight-line distances, rounded to the nearest 5 km. ## Which Limerick businesses do we help get found? More than 90,600 people were at work in County Limerick in April 2022, up 17% since 2016. Manufacturing, health and retail employed the most, according to the CSO. Manufacturing is Limerick's largest employer, and much of it sells to buyers far from the county, who search by product and standard and sometimes ask AI tools for a shortlist of suppliers. Pages that state what you make, and for whom, carry that work. Health and retail are won closer to home: clinics on trust, reviews and easy booking, shops on Google Maps, stock and opening hours. Figure: Manufacturing, health and social work and wholesale and retail employed the most people in County Limerick at Census 2022.

How do I reach them? Be found both where they work and where they live. People search near the office by day and near home in the evening, and Google weighs distance each time. A complete profile, pages that name the suburbs and towns you serve, and real reviews help you show in both places. The monthly report shows which areas your calls come from. ### Can a Limerick business reach customers in Ennis and the rest of Clare? If they come to you, yes. The CSO found that Ennis was the largest commuter town for Limerick city, with 1,140 people travelling in for work, and some of them shop, eat or book services near their work. Pages that name the Clare areas you serve, plus a complete Google profile, help them find you. ### Can visitors to Adare find my café, shop or B&B? Yes, if your profile shows you are close, open and worth the stop. Visitors to the village plan lunch, a browse or a bed for the night on their phones, usually within a short walk or drive. Recent photos, accurate seasonal hours and real reviews decide who they choose, and a clear booking page does the rest. ### Do match days and big events in the city bring extra searches? They do. People coming in for a match at Thomond Park, a concert or a conference look for food, parking, taxis and somewhere to stay, mostly on their phones and close to the venue. Updating your Google profile with event-day hours, and posting what you offer that weekend, puts you in front of them while they are in the city. ### How much do reviews matter for a Limerick business? A great deal where competitors are close. In the city, several similar businesses often sit within a few streets of each other, so recent, genuine reviews and your replies to them are often what tips the choice. We never buy or write reviews; we help you ask happy customers in a simple, honest way. ### Can a business in Castleconnell or Kilmallock get calls from the city? For trades and services that travel, yes. A builder in Kilmallock or a landscaper in Castleconnell can cover the city if the profile sets a service area and the pages show city jobs. Searchers in the city still see nearby firms first, so reviews and clear pages about the work you do there count for more. Still have a question?
