Localise

Director, Raphael Millin shares his story on why he founded Localise 💫 ''Reflecting on my later years at a leading automotive web agency, I noticed a significant lack of engagement from car dealerships in leveraging GBP. Despite the potential, there seemed to be little understanding about the impact of business listings on search visibility. Having witnessed first-hand the transformative results of managing listings in other industries, I dove back into automotive through Sandown Group with a mission to bridge this gap. Recognising the untapped potential, I made it my mission to specialise in automotive local search and reputation management. Welcome, Localise. Our goal? To empower dealerships to enhance their visibility and reputation across the web, particularly on platforms crucial for local search. Thrilled to be driving change in this space and eager to see its impact on the industry!'' #LocalSearch #ReputationManagement #AutomotiveIndustry #Localise
