SEO · Local Search Engine Optimisation
Local SEO that puts you in the Google Maps 3-pack
Rankings.Traffic.Leads.
When someone nearby searches for what you do, you should be one of the three businesses Google shows on the map. We make that happen and keep it that way.
What it is
What is local search engine optimisation?
Local SEO improves your visibility for searches with local intent, such as 'emergency plumber near me' or 'dentist in Richmond'. It centres on your Google Business Profile, the consistency of your business details across the web, your reviews and the local relevance of your website.
The map pack appears for a huge share of local searches, and the businesses in it collect most of the calls. AI assistants also lean on the same local signals when they recommend nearby providers.
Why it matters
- Local searches often lead to a call or visit within a day.
- The Maps 3-pack captures a large share of local clicks.
- Reviews influence both rankings and conversion.
- AI assistants use local listings to recommend businesses nearby.

Case studies
Local SEO results
Sample content: replace with real client results before launch.

Local SEO, treatment pages and AEO content took a suburban practice from page two to the Maps 3-pack for its core treatments.
How do I get into the Google Maps 3-pack?
Map rankings depend on relevance, distance and prominence. We improve relevance with the right categories and services, and prominence with reviews, citations and local links. Distance is fixed, which is why we track rankings across a grid around you.
Do I need a physical address for local SEO?
Service-area businesses can rank without showing an address, but they need a verified Google Business Profile and a real base of operations. We set this up within Google's guidelines.
Should I create a page for every suburb?
Only where you can say something genuinely local and useful. Hundreds of near-identical suburb pages can do more harm than good. We plan location pages based on demand and real service coverage.
How important are reviews?
Very. Review quantity, recency and responses affect map rankings and strongly affect whether searchers choose you.
