1800 170 681Local search marketing is everything that helps nearby customers find you online, including your Google Business Profile, local SEO on your website, reviews, directory listings and location targeted ads. It's especially valuable for trades, clinics, retailers and other businesses serving a specific area.
Reviews are one of the strongest local ranking signals, and they heavily influence whether people choose you. The number, recency and rating all matter, as do your replies. Ask every happy customer for a review and make it easy with a direct link.
Citations are mentions of your business name, address and phone number on other websites, such as directories like Yelp, True Local and industry listings. Consistent citations help Google trust your details. They're part of the local setup in our SEO plans.
Entry level SEO with us is starting from $595/m, and plans scale up from there. Local search marketing is priced on what your business actually needs, so you won't pay for extras you don't use. Since 2016, more than a thousand small and medium businesses have chosen us to look after their SEO. Along the way we've pushed clients above household names like Bunnings and Officeworks.
