Local SEO is a specific SEO strategy that focuses on optimising a business for local search results. Unlike general SEO, which targets users around Australia or globally. Local SEO concentrates on reaching potential cleints in your specific area, such as the Northern Beaches.
We talked about some of the strategies for this above, but essentially it can involve ranking your site for location-specific keywords, local directories, and map services. Local SEO is for businesses who need to get local customers in the door, or rely on foot traffic locally, and also businesses looking to boost their presence in a specific area of the community, in this case, the Northern Beaches.
The short answer is, it depends! We know it's probably not what you want to hear, but seeing traction from all the work can range from a few months to a year. It really depends on the site, audience, current content strategy, types of keywords, if you've done SEO before and more. It takes consistent effort to see results and ongoing monitoring and changes. It's also important to keep up with the search engine algorithm changes, and new trends like AI search.
