LOCAL SEO MANAGEMENT MELBOURNE
If you’re not at the top of organic rankings for local searches, you could be missing out.
You’ve probably done it yourself at some point, typing in “dry cleaner near me” or “where’s the closest fish n’ chip shop” in Google. That’s exactly the point of local SEO—it helps bring your business to the top of the search page results so you get right in front of locals who could really use your services or your products.
But a really effective local SEO strategy takes much more than just sticking your suburb name on your home page. And most business owners struggle with trying to rank for local keywords.

ABOUT LOCAL SEO
How does local SEO work?
Local SEO works by helping your business show up as quickly as possible in search engine results when local customers are looking for you.
Meaning, a strong local SEO strategy and campaign usually includes activities such as:
- Claiming and optimising your Google My Business listing and making sure your business’ name, address, and phone number are accurate—and that you have at least a handful of customer reviews.
- Optimising your website content to rank well for local keywords, usually geographical, such as the name of your city or suburb, as well as optimising title tags, meta descriptions, headers, and content with local keywords.
- Building backlinks with other local websites to help boost your domain’s authority in local search queries.
- Creating and publishing new, localised content such as blog posts, landing pages, or social media posts on local events, news, and topics relevant to your area.
WHY LOCAL SEO
Why is local SEO important for Aussie businesses?
Well, aside from the increased number of leads and sales you can get from a strong local SEO strategy, there are plenty of other ways it helps your business:
- It increases brand awareness: if they don’t see you, they don’t know you exist, so when your business appears earlier on in search results, this increased visibility can lead not just to more website traffic, but more foot traffic to your shop-–and more word of mouth referrals between locals.
- It gives you a competitive advantage: local SEO can help level the playing field for smaller businesses, helping them stand out against larger chains or corporations who usually spend millions every year on advertising and marketing.
- It gives you a great return on investment: unlike mail drops, flyers, and print ads which can be a hit or miss, local SEO helps you reach potential customers at the exact moment they’re looking for you.
The proof is in the pudding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Any business with a physical location or serving a specific geographic area can benefit from Local SEO. This includes retail stores, service providers such as lawyers, accountants, plumbers, electricians, builders or other trades, restaurants, doctors or other allied health practitioners - pretty much any business with a local presence and is constantly looking for a source of leads, enquiries and sales.
SEO is a long-term strategy, so you’ll need a little bit of patience for it to work if you are starting from scratch. But like compounding interest, as soon as it kicks in, it kicks in tremendously and typically grows sustainably from there. That said, in general you should expect to see noticeable results within 6 to 12 months of starting to implement a targeted, comprehensive SEO strategy. The older and more authoritative a site, the faster the results can flow through.
To help you get started, how about a free (really, no strings attached) SEO audit? You can book your audit now here.
Google My Business (GMB), or now known as Google Business Profile (GBP) is a free tool from Google that allows businesses to manage their online presence across Google Search and Maps. It's free and lets you easily manage key details like your business name, address, phone number, and hours, making sure customers can find and reach you without hassle. Share updates, special offers, and events to keep your audience hooked.
An optimised GBP profile can skyrocket your local SEO, putting you at the top of local search results. Plus, it supports booking and reservations and lets you list your products and services in detail. GMB is your powerful ally for driving traffic and growing your business both online and offline.
The local map pack, also known as the "local pack" or "3-pack," is a prime feature of Google's search results that showcases the top three local businesses related to a user's search. It pops up right at the top of the search page (usually just below ads), featuring a map with business locations, plus essential info like the business name, address, phone number, website link, and customer reviews. This makes it super easy for users to find the best local options quickly. For businesses, landing in the local map pack is a game-changer, boosting visibility and attracting more local customers.
Great question—not only will you have a dedicated account manager you can reach out to at any time to ask, we’ll send you detailed reports every month, covering the performance of your SEO campaigns.
Your report will include key metrics such as organic traffic and keyword rankings, but that’s not all it will include. But what’s more important, it will include your conversion and revenue stats—because that’s what’s really important to the growth of your business.
SEO isn’t just about ranking on the first page of search results—it’s a deeply nuanced field of expertise that requires specialised knowledge and an equally specialised set of skills if you’re to be successful with it. And if you don’t have a dedicated SEO manager on your team, working on this 100% of the time, it can get mighty tricky trying to stay on top of the latest consumer trends, algorithm changes, and SEO techniques, while also writing and checking content, page loading times, and more elements that impact your SEO rankings.
If you outsource your SEO management, you and your team can fully focus on growing your business, with the peace of mind that experts are continuously working on it, and optimising it, for you.
We don’t have minimum contracts, but it's important to understand that SEO can take a little time until you notice its full effects. So we generally recommend a minimum engagement period of 9-12 months to begin with.
But we will never lock you in to a contract if you don’t want to, and we’re happy to be flexible to best meet your needs and circumstances.
Like any investment, the best time to start was 20 years ago. But the next best time to start is now. And as soon as you start investing in SEO, the sooner you’ll reap its benefits.
To help you get started, we’d like to offer you a free SEO audit. (Yes really, no strings attached.) You can book your audit now here.
One of the first questions we often hear from potential clients is, "What do you charge for your Local SEO services?"
If we sold ice cream cones, answering this would be simple. But in the digital marketing world, it's not that straightforward - even though many companies display their pricing online.
Each business we work with has unique needs—different capabilities, goals, timelines, and more.
Because of this, our strategies are highly personalised and customised, so we don't use an off-the-shelf pricing model.
Our pricing is influenced by a number of factors, such as:
- The complexity of your individual situation of your business
- The types of goals and the time frame in which you want to achieve them
- The time commitment need for the range of strategies we advise to employ
- The costs of tools involved in implementing the strategy we advise
- The ongoing personal advice and service that we offer our clients
- We hope this is seen as another way that we aim to provide you with transparent advice and a sense of confidence that we can help your business grow and achieve its goals.
