What does a local SEO campaign include?
A high-performing local SEO campaign usually covers:
- Google Business Profile (GBP) Optimisation: It includes verifying your company’s online profile, updating essential business details, and adding photos or attributes. This helps you appear in local search results and Google Maps.
- Local Citations: This involves any online mention of your company, typically featuring your business name, address, and phone number (NAP). When these details accurately appear on credible sites, it tells search engines your business is legitimate and trustworthy.
- Managing Online Reviews: Handling reviews greatly impacts how you build customer trust. Google, Yelp, and other platforms prioritise businesses with positive and active review profiles. That includes promptly responding to reviews, regardless of the feedback’s nature.
- Local Keyword Targeting: Finding the right keywords with geographical modifiers pushes search visibility for your target city or region. Combining your services or products with the preferred location helps. It’s best if these location-specific keywords align with user intent, so you can include them in your content, meta tags, or URLs.
- On-Page SEO: This includes creating local landing pages on your site. These pages are useful, letting customers know the specific cities your business covers or certain service limits for each suburb.
We tailor each campaign to your business and service area.
What areas can your local SEO campaigns target?
We run campaigns across all major Australian cities and suburbs, including:
- Sydney
- Melbourne
- Brisbane
- Perth
- Adelaide
- Canberra
- Hobart
- Darwin
- Whether you’re targeting a single suburb or rolling out across multiple locations, we’ve got a strategy for that.
How long does it take to see local SEO results?
New businesses usually see movement within 3 to 6 months. If your website already has some traction, results can show faster sometimes in just a few weeks. It depends on your industry, competition, and consistency.

Do you manage Google Business Profiles?
We do. We optimise, update, and manage your GBP to maximise visibility and attract more local clicks, calls, and visits. We also help manage reviews and create location-focused content that makes your listing stand out.
Do online reviews impact local rankings?

Can you help manage or respond to negative reviews?
Yes. We help you monitor and respond to reviews professionally whether they’re good or bad. We’ll also guide your team on how to request and respond to feedback in a way that protects your brand.

Local SEO Questions
What is local SEO, and how is it different from national SEO?
Local SEO helps your business show up when nearby customers search for what you offer. It focuses on ranking in location-based searches, such as “plumber Surry Hills” or “café near me.”
National SEO, on the other hand, targets broader, city-agnostic searches like “plumbing services” or “best cafés Australia”. It’s about reaching across many cities, while local SEO zeroes in on a single location to win local attention.
Why is local SEO important for small and medium businesses?
Almost half of all Google searches are for local information. That includes opening hours, nearby shops, or services in a suburb. If your business relies on foot traffic or local customers, local SEO helps you show up when it counts.
It increases visibility in Google Maps and local listings, builds trust with nearby searchers, and gets more calls, visits, and bookings.
How does Google rank businesses in local search?
While stuffing suburb names on your site worked to top local search results in the past, Google has evolved past that. The search engine juggernaut uses these three core factors in local search rankings:
- Proximity: How close your business is to the searcher
- Relevance: How well your business matches the search intent
- Prominence: How well-known and trusted your business is (reviews, links, citations)
Optimising for all three helps you rank higher in the local pack and Maps.
Can local SEO help me get found on Google Maps?
Yes. A properly optimised Google Business Profile, up-to-date info, and consistent reviews increase your visibility in Google Maps. This is especially powerful for service-based and brick-and-mortar businesses.
Can local SEO help me compete with bigger national brands?
Absolutely. Big brands often struggle with hyper-local targeting. A smart, well-executed local SEO strategy gives you a clear edge in your area especially if your competitors aren’t doing it well.
What types of businesses benefit most from local SEO?
Local SEO works best for businesses that serve customers in specific suburbs or regions. Think:
- Trades and home services
- Healthcare and clinics
- Restaurants and cafés
- Legal and financial services
- Retail stores with physical locations
If your customers are nearby, local SEO helps them find you first.
What’s the difference between citations and backlinks?
Citations are online mentions of your business’s name, address, and phone number (NAP). They’re key to local trust signals.
Backlinks are links from other websites pointing to yours. They’re vital for SEO authority.
Both matter citations for local consistency, backlinks for broader trust and visibility.
