Local SEO

Show up on the map when locals search for what you do

When someone nearby searches "plumber near me" or "dentist in Claremont", Google shows a map with a few businesses. I help you become one of them.

Why it matters

The map gets the calls

Most people searching for a local service don't scroll far. They look at the map, pick one of the businesses at the top, and call.

Google says it decides which businesses show up using three things:

  • Relevance: how well your profile matches what the person searched for
  • Distance: how close you are to them
  • Prominence: how well known and trusted your business looks online (reviews, links, mentions)

You can't move your shop closer to every customer. But relevance and prominence you can work on. That's what Local SEO is.

You don't need the biggest budget to win the map. You need to do the basics properly, and keep doing them.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How long does it take?

Usually months, not weeks. Some fixes (like completing your profile properly) can help quickly, but climbing the map takes steady work. I'll be honest with you about what to expect after the audit.

Can I rank in several areas or suburbs?

Yes, but it's harder the further you go from your business address, because distance is one of Google's three factors. Local pages for each area you serve help. I'll tell you what's realistic for your areas.

Do I need a website?

You can have a Google Business Profile without one, but a website with clear service and area pages makes it much easier to rank. If you don't have one, we can talk about it.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. Month-to-month, cancel anytime.

What's in the free audit?

I review your Google Business Profile and website and send you a written report: what's missing, what's holding you back, and what to fix first. It's yours to keep, whether you work with me or not.
