What we will not promise
We cannot put ourselves in the Blackburn with Darwen map pack, and we will not pretend otherwise. Pack position is measured from a verified address and ours is in London. What we can move is YOUR profile: categories, services, photos, reviews and the on-site work that supports it. That is the whole job here, and it does not require us to be down the road. No ranking guarantee and no date attached to one.
