Local SEO

What is local SEO?

The work of ranking for searches with a place in them, or with local intent: a plumber in Southport, a dentist near me, a cafe in Fortitude Valley. Google answers these with a map and three businesses, then local websites. Getting there depends on signals ordinary SEO does not cover: your profile, your reviews, your listings and pages for the places you serve.

Found In Your Area

Most customers choose from the first three.

Google Business ProfileLocation pagesReviewsLocal listings

For a local business, the map pack is the front page. We work on the four things that decide it: a complete profile, reviews, consistent listings and location pages on your site.

Each area you serve gets its own page with real local content, not a suburb name swapped into a template.
