Local SEO for tradies and local businesses
Get your trade business into the Google Maps top 3.
When someone nearby searches for your trade, Google shows three businesses first. We do the weekly work that moves you toward that top three and works to keep you there. A$790 a month, no lock-in, and only one business per trade in each area.
Fig. 01 — The ranking grid
First, we show you where you rank.
We run the same Google Maps search from nine points across your suburb, about two kilometres apart. Green is top three. Amber is visible but not chosen. Red is buried or missing.
- Top 3 · good
- 4 to 10
- Below 10 or missing · bad
Sample data. Your free report uses your live rankings.
Why the top three matters.
Search for a plumber, an electrician or a roofer on your phone and Google puts a map at the top with three businesses under it. Those three are seen first. Everyone else sits behind a “More businesses” tap.
Which three appear depends on where the person is standing. You can be first outside your own workshop and missing two suburbs away, which is why one ranking number tells you very little and a grid tells you a lot.
Google decides the order from your Business Profile, your reviews, how consistently the web describes you, and whether your website says what you do and where. All of that can be worked on, every week.
Fig. 02 — The work
What we do for you every month.
Local SEO is not a trick. It is a list of unglamorous jobs done properly and kept up.
Google Business Profile, set up like the winners
The right primary category, a trimmed category list, and every field filled in: services, service areas, hours, description and photos.
A steady flow of new reviews
A simple system that asks the customers you already have for a Google review every week, and replies to the ones that come in.
A profile that never looks idle
Fresh photos, posts and updates so Google and your customers can see the business is active.
Service and suburb pages on your website
A page for each service and each area you work in, with headlines that say what you do and where. We add them to the site you already have.
Consistent listings everywhere
Your name, address and phone number matched across the directories Google cross-checks, so nothing contradicts your profile.
The same map, measured again every month
We re-scan the same nine points each month and send you the new grid, plus a short update every Friday on what we did.
The offer
One price. Everything above. No lock-in.
One business per trade per area
If you work with us, we will not take on another business in your trade in your area. The three above you cannot hire us to do this against you.
We stay on it, month after month
This is not a one-off fix. Getting onto the first page is the start. Staying there is the job, and it is the job we keep doing every week.
Month to month
Month to month. No lock-in contract. Cancel any time.
We do not promise a position by a date, and nobody honestly can. We promise the work, and a map every month that shows whether it is paying off.
Not a tradie?
We built this service for trades, but Google Maps works the same way for a physio, a salon, a cafe or a vet. If your customers find you by searching nearby, the same method and the same price apply. Ask for a free report and see your own grid.
Fig. 03 — Questions
Local SEO questions, answered straight.
What is local SEO?
Local SEO is the work that gets a business shown when someone nearby searches for what it does, such as "plumber near me" or "electrician Southport". Most of it happens on your Google Business Profile and in the Google Maps results, not on your website.
Do you guarantee a top 3 ranking on Google Maps?
No, and be careful of anyone who does. Google itself warns business owners about SEO companies that promise rankings, because nobody outside Google controls the results. The top three is what we work toward every week. What we commit to is the work itself, one business per trade per area, and a monthly re-scan that shows you exactly where you stand.
How much does local SEO cost?
A$790 a month, in Australian dollars. That covers your Google Business Profile, reviews, listings, service and suburb pages, and the monthly ranking scan.
Is there a lock-in contract?
Month to month. No lock-in contract. Cancel any time. You pay monthly, and we keep working with you month after month for as long as you want us to.
How long does local SEO take to work?
Usually weeks before you see the first movement on the map and months to hold a steady position near the top. It depends on how strong the businesses above you are and how complete your profile is today. Your free report shows both before you spend anything.
What is the ranking grid in the free report?
We run the same Google Maps search from nine points across your suburb, about two kilometres apart, and record where you appear at each one. Green means top three, amber means you are visible but not chosen, red means you are buried or missing. It shows where customers can and cannot find you.
Do I need a new website?
No. Most of the work is on your Google Business Profile. Where your site is missing a page for a service or a suburb, we add it to the website you already have.
What areas do you cover, and do you work with businesses that are not trades?
We work with businesses anywhere in Australia, and the work is done remotely. We built this service for trades, but the same method works for any local service business, such as clinics, salons and cafes. We only take one business per trade in each area, so ask whether yours is still free.
