Proof, not promises

We sell what we run on our own business.

NearbyBoost grew out of Cake Trays, our family-run bakery in Dagenham, East London. We got tired of paying for local SEO that did nothing, so we learned to do it properly and built the automations ourselves. These are running today.

Runs daily

Instagram to Google posts

Every day, a new photo from our Instagram is picked, the caption is rewritten for Google, and it is published to our Google Business Profile with an order button. Videos are skipped automatically. Nobody touches it.

Runs 3x a day

Marketplace and neighbourhood replies

Messages from marketplace listings and neighbourhood sites are answered automatically several times a day, using approved facts only. Anything unusual is flagged to a person instead of guessed.

Handled ourselves

Google profile, kept honest

When we moved premises, our profile was suspended. We worked through Google’s reinstatement process and got it back within about a week, then tracked down every directory still showing the old address and worked through them one by one.

17 towns

Local pages that are actually different

Seventeen town pages, each written to be genuinely useful for that area rather than the same text with the town name swapped.

Tested

AI search research

We tested what ChatGPT, Gemini and others say about local bakeries and which sources they rely on. It is why we focus on listings and reviews, and why we do not sell llms.txt as a fix.

Twice a week

Photo approvals for Google

New product photos are queued for approval, and only the ones that look good are uploaded to the Google profile on a schedule.

What running it ourselves taught us

These lessons shape every job we do for you.

  • Accurate details everywhere matter more than any trick. One old address on a directory can cause months of trouble.
  • Reviews arriving steadily beat a burst. Replying to them matters too.
  • Automations must know when to stop and ask a person. Ours do.
  • Most paid “local SEO” we tried before doing it ourselves made no measurable difference. So we measure everything now.

Why we do not show client logos

NearbyBoost in its current form is new. We would rather show you real systems running on our own business than invent testimonials. When clients are happy for us to share their results, they will appear here, with their permission and their real numbers.
