Google Business Profile management: $400 - $1,000/month
Small business local SEO: $1,500 - $2,500/month
Multi-location businesses: $3,000+/month
Get in touch and we can let you know what local SEO management might cost for your business, based on what you are looking to achieve.

What's included in local SEO services or local SEO management?

Our local SEO campaigns typically include:
Google Business Profile (your map listing) setup and optimisation - Getting your profile verified, updated, and looking up to date so you show up in local searches and Google Maps
Local citations - Making sure your business name, address, and phone number are consistent across the web

Do you manage Google Business Profiles?

Absolutely. We set up, optimise, and manage your Google Business Profile to get you more visibility, clicks, calls, and customers. We also help with review management and creating content that makes your listing stand out.

Do reviews affect my rankings?

Yes. Google does check what review you have because it means your business is still running. They can often check how recent the reviews are, if they are positive or negative. This is a factor in ranking as well, so it all adds up. Keeping up your regular, reviews from real customers, can help you get more traffic.

Can you help with negative reviews?

Yes we can. We'll help you respond professionally to negative reviews and can handle feedback in a way that protects your reputation. Often a neutral response to a bad review can still help you build trust on your profile.

What is local SEO and how's it different from regular SEO?

Local SEO helps you show up when people who are nearby your service or premises search for your goods or service e.g. "electrician Bondi" or "cafe for brunch melbourne cbd"
Other types of SEO target broader searches like informational or educational without a location, like "best accounting software" It's about getting to those searchers who are everywhere, not just local customers

Why does local SEO matter for small businesses?

About half of all Google searches are people looking for local information - opening hours, nearby services, directions. If you rely on local customers, local SEO makes sure you show up when they're searching.
It gets you more visibility in Google Maps, builds trust with nearby searchers, and brings in more calls, visits, and sales.

How does Google decide which businesses to show in local search?

Google looks at three main things:
Proximity - Is the person close to you and your service or store
Relevance - Is their search query matching what you offer
Prominence - Are you trusted and well known (based on reviews, links, and online mentions)
We optimise for all three to get you ranking higher.

Can local SEO help me compete with big national brands?

Definitely. Big brands often can't compete with hyper-local targeting. If you focus on your specific area and do local SEO well, you can outrank much bigger competitors in your suburb or city.

What types of businesses benefit from local SEO?

Any business that serves customers in a specific area:
- Tradies and home services
- Doctors, dentists, and health clinics
- Restaurants and cafes
- Lawyers and accountants
- Retail shops with physical locations
If your customers are local, local SEO is how they find you.Any business that serves customers in a specific area:
- Tradies and home services

- Restaurants and cafes

What's the difference between citations and backlinks?

Citations are online mentions of your business name, address, and phone number. They help Google verify your business is real and legitimate.
Backlinks are links from other websites back to yours. It's like a vote of verification and trust.
You need both - citations for local trust, backlinks for overall authority.
