Local SEO for Local Businesses That
Actually Generates Leads

Yes - you need a website to rank competitively in most markets. Your Google Business Profile alone can get you into the map pack in low-competition areas, but for most competitive suburbs, a website with the right structure and content is essential. If you don't have one, we can build it. If you do have one, we'll audit it and work with what you've got or recommend improvements.

We target the top 3 positions in the Google map pack - that's what drives real traffic. Getting to position 1 specifically depends on your market and how competitive it is. What we can tell you: in every market we've worked in, our clients have made it to the map pack top 3. In some cases - like Pittard Painting in Derby, WA - we've achieved that in markets other agencies said were too difficult. We won't promise an exact position, but we'll show you on a rank map exactly where you are at the start, and you'll see it move.

Local SEO targets the Google map pack - the 3 businesses that appear with a map when you search "[service] near me." Businesses in the top 3 get 126% more traffic and 93% more calls than those ranked below. Regular (organic) SEO targets website rankings below the map. For local businesses, Local SEO is almost always the higher priority because the map pack is what local customers see and click on first. We do both - but we always start with the map pack.

We don't lock you into long-term contracts. You work with us month to month. That said, Local SEO takes time to compound, and clients who leave before 3–6 months rarely get to see the results they were paying toward. We'll be upfront with you in the strategy call about realistic timelines - so you can make an informed decision before you start.

None. Unlike most agencies, we don't charge a setup fee. Month 1 onboarding - the GBP audit, citation setup, website review, and rank map baseline - is all included in your first month's retainer. You pay the same monthly rate from day one.

There's no lock-in - you work with us month to month. That said, Local SEO compounds over time, and leaving before 3–6 months means you won't see the full return on what's been built. The foundation work done in Month 1 stays with you regardless - the optimised GBP, citations, and website fixes are yours. But the ranking momentum we build together takes consistent effort to maintain. We'll always be upfront with you about where you're at before you make any decisions.

Absolutely. Our process works for any local service business - beauty salons, massage therapists, hypnotherapists, health practitioners, retail stores, and more. The method is the same regardless of industry: get your Google Business Profile optimised, build the right website structure, establish local authority, and let the map pack do the work. If you serve local customers, Local SEO is relevant to your business.

We can still work with you, but a SAB (Service Area Business) is 30-50% harder to rank than a business with a visible address. Google places significant weight on proximity to a physical address. If you're operating as an SAB, we'll tell you honestly what that means for timeline and results - and we price accordingly. In some cases, the right move is getting a physical address (even a registered office space) before starting SEO.

Three things: (1) Manager access to your Google Business Profile, (2) Admin access to your website, and (3) Access to Google Search Console - or we can set it up for you. That's it. We handle everything else.
