B2B SEO that wins contracts, not just clicks.

Commercial buyers shortlist suppliers from search before procurement ever emails you. We make your business the one on every shortlist.

10 specialisations covered. Janitorial, signage, couriers, security and facility services.

The Problem

B2B buyers do their homework before they make contact.

Commercial contracts don’t start with a cold call anymore. The office manager comparing cleaning companies, the facilities lead sourcing fire inspections, the operations manager who needs a same-day courier: they all search, review the credible options and shortlist two or three suppliers. If you’re not findable at that stage, the tender goes out without you.

B2B searches are lower volume than consumer ones, but each result can be worth a multi-year contract. That changes the maths entirely: a handful of rankings in your service categories and metro area can transform a commercial services business, and those rankings keep producing enquiries long after an ad budget would have been spent.

What We Do

One campaign. Both eras of search.

Your customers discover businesses in two places now: today’s Google and tomorrow’s AI answers. Every campaign is built to win both, without paying per click.

The Playbook

Five moves that put you on more shortlists.

B2B search is low volume, high stakes. These five moves convert visibility into tenders won.

01

Build a page per capability, plus a page per industry

Procurement teams Google every shortlist. Capability pages (“commercial cleaning”: 8,100 searches a month, rising) win the search; industry pages (offices, medical, strata, education) win the fit assessment that follows.

02

Let CPCs point you at contract value

A “commercial cleaning services sydney” click costs $16.32 in Google Ads because the contracts justify it. High CPCs are the market telling you where organic rankings pay off most; win those keywords first.

03

Publish the compliance content buyers must check

Insurance summaries, certifications, safety procedures, specification checklists. This material ranks, survives procurement scrutiny, and is exactly the verifiable content AI engines cite when recommending suppliers.

04

Write case studies with contract specifics

Site type, scope, tenure, outcomes. Generic “we deliver excellence” copy dies in due diligence; concrete proof gets forwarded to the decision-maker and quoted by AI.

05

Keep your entity spotless across the web

Consistent name, address, categories and services across Google, directories and industry bodies, backed by schema. AI shortlists suppliers it can verify from multiple agreeing sources.

Questions, Answered

B2B SEO & GEO, explained.

Lower search volumes, higher stakes, longer cycles. B2B keywords get fewer searches but each searcher is a business with a budget and often a recurring need. Strategy shifts accordingly: precise commercial keywords, capability content that survives procurement scrutiny, and proof, case studies, certifications, reviews, that de-risks the shortlist decision.

Because tenders and referrals get Googled too. Procurement teams check every shortlisted supplier online, and a thin presence quietly costs you deals you never knew you were in. Strong rankings also generate the direct enquiries that diversify you away from tender-only revenue.

Match it to your delivery footprint. Most commercial services win their metro first, where service proximity matters, then expand into national terms for capabilities that travel. We sequence by contract value and how winnable each market is.

Capability pages per service, industry pages per client type, and genuinely useful operational content, compliance guides, specification checklists, cost explainers. That material ranks, earns AI citations, and doubles as the collateral your sales team sends after the first call.
