Welcome — and thank you for trusting Proud Site with your new website. The aim is simple but ambitious: to make you the guitar teacher people are recommended first across North London, Enfield and Southgate — both in Google and in the AI assistants more and more people now ask (“who’s a good guitar teacher near me?”).
How to use this form: type your answers straight into the shaded boxes on the right — it expands as you write. You don’t need to complete everything before we start: the Essential sections get the build moving, and we’ll gather the rest over the first week. Anything you’re unsure of, just leave blank and we’ll cover it on a quick call.
Being the recommended teacher in an area comes down to four things working together. Everything this form asks feeds one of them — and the heavy lifting on each is ours, not yours.
| What gets you recommended | What it takes | What we need from you |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Your Google profile + reviews | A complete, correctly set-up Google Business Profile with a steady stream of recent reviews — the single biggest factor for “near me / in Enfield” searches, and a top source the AI assistants quote. | Your details, profile access, happy students |
| 2. Real local pages | A genuine page for each area you cover, with real local detail. | The exact areas you teach in |
| 3. Proof you’re the real deal | Visible qualifications, DBS check and consistent details everywhere, so Google and the AI assistants trust you. | Your background + a few testimonials |
| 4. Clear, quotable answers | Straight answers to the questions people ask, in your own words. | A few short answers below |
The short version: complete the Essential sections (your details, services & prices, photos, domain, go-ahead) and we start building immediately. The Important sections are what we layer in over the first week to push you to the top.
Essential — these appear identically everywhere (site, Google, every directory), so we lock them once.
| What we need to know | Your answer |
|---|---|
| 1. The name you want shown everywhere (e.g. “James Carter Guitar Tuition”) | |
| 2. Sole trader or registered company? VAT registered? | |
| 3. Where you teach — your home/studio, travelling to students, a hired room, online, or a mix | |
| 4. Your address (needed only if students visit; say if you’d rather keep it private) | |
| 5. Phone number for enquiries (a local 020 number reads as more established — we can set one up) | |
| 6. Email for enquiries | |
| 7. The hours you take lessons / reply to enquiries | |
| 8. The year you started teaching | |
| 9. Any languages you teach in besides English |
