What is local SEO?

Local SEO is the work of getting your Melbourne business found by people searching nearby. It covers your Google Business Profile, suburb and service pages, reviews and local citations, so you appear in the Google map pack, local search results and AI answers when customers search for what you do in their area.

How Google picks the map pack

  1. A customer searches nearby "Plumber near me" or "plumber Box Hill".
  2. Google weighs three things How relevant, how close and how well known your business is. RelevanceDistanceProminence
  3. The top three show in the map pack Your Google Business Profile is what they see first.
  4. They call or get directions Tracked by suburb in your monthly report.
  • The map pack is the prize. The top three local results win most of the calls.
  • Google Business Profile is the engine, backed by your website and reviews.
  • Suburb pages capture "near me" searches across every area you serve.
  • It is measured by calls, direction requests and enquiries by suburb.

Talk to a specialist
What is the Google map pack?

It's the box of three businesses with a map that Google shows for local searches. Most clicks and calls for local services go to those three listings.

How do I get my business into the Google map pack?

Google ranks map pack listings on relevance, distance and prominence. Choose the right categories, list every service and area on your Google Business Profile, keep your details consistent across directories, publish helpful suburb pages and earn genuine reviews steadily.

How long does local SEO take?

Profile and on-page fixes can lift visibility within weeks. Strong map pack positions in competitive suburbs usually take a few months of consistent work and reviews.

Do I need a physical address in each suburb?

No. Service-area businesses can rank across the suburbs they serve with a well-set-up profile and helpful suburb pages. We never create fake addresses.

Can you get us more Google reviews?

We set up a simple process to ask happy customers for genuine reviews and help you reply to every one. We never buy or fake reviews.

What is the difference between local SEO and SEO?

SEO improves your whole website's rankings. Local SEO focuses on searches with local intent, your Google Business Profile and the map pack. Most local businesses need both.
