What We Do

LOCAL SEO
THAT WORKS.

Google Business Profile Optimisation

Your GBP is your most important local ranking asset. We fully optimise every field, add services, posts, and photos to maximise your Map Pack visibility.

Local Keyword Research

We identify the exact suburb-level and city-level search terms your customers use — then build an optimisation strategy around them.

Review Strategy & Management

We implement a systematic review generation process and help you respond to reviews to build the trust signals Google and customers look for.

Local Citation Building

Consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) listings across the most authoritative Australian directories — Yellow Pages, TrueLocal, Hotfrog, and more.

Location Page Development

Dedicated, well-optimised landing pages for each suburb or city you service — designed to rank for hyper-local search queries.

Local Rank Tracking & Reporting

Monthly reports showing your Map Pack positions, local keyword rankings, and call/click data from your Google Business Profile.

Local SEO is the process of optimising your online presence to appear in Google's local results — specifically the 'Map Pack' (the three business listings that appear under the map) for location-specific searches.

Regular SEO targets broad, often national keywords. Local SEO focuses on geographic keywords like "plumber Melbourne CBD" and optimises your Google Business Profile to appear in Maps results.

You do need a Google Business Profile, which typically requires a physical address. However, service-area businesses can hide their address and still rank in Maps for the areas they service.

Local SEO moves faster than national SEO. Most clients see meaningful Map Pack improvement within 2–4 months, particularly when GBP is poorly optimised before we begin.

We work with businesses across all of Melbourne and Australia. We have particular experience ranking businesses across Melbourne's inner suburbs, outer suburbs, and regional centres.
