What a week of local SEO looks like
Every week your rankings refresh in the portal, so you can watch positions move rather than take our word for it. Behind that, the work rotates through the levers that actually move the map pack: content built around what your customers search, local links and citations, fresh photos and updates on your Google Business Profile, and steady review requests going out to your happy customers.
Once a month it all rolls up into one plain-English report: where you rank, what we did, and what we're doing next.
Melbourne is a suburb game
Melbourne isn't one market. It's hundreds of suburb markets. A plumber in Footscray isn't competing with one in Ringwood, and a single citywide ranking tells you nothing about whether your phone will ring.
We work with businesses across Melbourne's west (Footscray, Yarraville, Sunshine, Werribee, Point Cook, Hoppers Crossing and Tarneit among them) and the pattern is the same everywhere: we target the suburbs you actually serve and the "near me" searches inside them, then track your positions suburb by suburb, because that's where the calls come from.
How it works, with no lock-in
Ranking is steady work that compounds rather than a one-off job. Every week we track your positions, and every month you get one honest report you can actually read. It's week to week with no lock-in: if the numbers stop moving, you can walk. That keeps us honest.
Local SEO works best on a site that's already built right and optimised. If it isn't yet, that's where we start.
Who it's for
Melbourne businesses that live or die on being found locally. You want to be the first result when someone nearby searches for what you do.
Frequently asked questions
How is local SEO different from regular SEO?
Local SEO focuses on being found by people near you: Google Maps, the local pack, and 'near me' searches. It leans on your Google Business Profile, reviews and location signals alongside the usual on-page work.
How much does local SEO cost in Melbourne?
Our pricing is public, so you never have to ask. Plans start at $500 a week, with a one-off $450 setup in your first week. Every plan is week to week with no lock-in, so if the numbers stop moving you can walk. The full breakdown is on our pricing page.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. It's week to week. If the numbers stop moving you can walk, and that's what keeps us honest.
How will I know it's working?
We track your rankings every week and send one plain-English report a month showing where you rank, what we did, and what comes next.
How long until I see results?
Local rankings usually start shifting within the first month or two and compound from there. It's steady work, not a switch you flip.
What is in the monthly report?
Three things, in plain English: where you rank and how that moved, the work we did, and what comes next. Your rankings and leads also sit in a live portal updated weekly, so the report never contains a surprise.
Do reviews really matter for ranking?
Yes. Reviews are one of the strongest map-pack signals, and they're what customers read before they call. We build the asking into the process: who to ask, when, and how to reply. Never fake ones; they get filtered, and they can get a profile suspended.
