What is Local SEO ?
Local SEO is the process of improving a brand or business online presence so they show up when local costumers search for services or products like the ones they offer.
It’s completely different from general SEO marketing, which focuses broad keywords or blog traffic. Our intent here is to target searches that lead to real enquiries, like:
- People searching for services in their area
- Customers comparing local providers
- Searchers ready to call, book, or visit
Simply put, you are more likely to receive phone calls, bookings, and orders if your website shows up between the first results on Google. And that’s what separates small businesses from brands that are seen as the most trusted authorities in their area.
Why local SEO Matters
Local SEO That Works
With local SEO, clarity and precision matter. That’s why we prioritise complete transparency in everything we do. Each month, you’ll receive clear reporting that shows exactly how your website is performing, focusing solely on organic traffic and genuine SEO-driven leads.
We ensure that the data you see actually matters. Clicks from people already familiar with your brand are filtered out, so you get a true picture of how your SEO is working to bring in new local customers.
More importantly, we don’t chase vanity metrics. Instead, we build and execute targeted strategies to attract traffic specifically from your local area, ensuring every click has the potential to convert.
What We’ll Do To Boost Your Local Business
Local SEO only works when it’s tied to how your business actually makes money. As a specialised SEO consultant, we use a clear, repeatable framework designed specifically for Australian local brands.
On-Page SEO
When it comes to Local SEO, we don’t create content just for the sake of it. Every page we develop is backed by research and designed to target keywords that have real value for your businesses, whether that means driving foot traffic, enquiries, or conversions. We take the time to deeply understand your business, your customers, and how they search locally.
SEO Reporting
You won’t get a generic report full of meaningless data. Instead, we provide tailored reports that focus on what matters most to your business, with complete clarity and transparency. Local SEO often involves multiple moving parts, from map rankings to local keyword visibility and call-driven conversions. Our reports break this down in a way that’s easy to understand, so you can clearly see what’s driving results.
Off-page optimisation
Off-page SEO plays a crucial role in helping local businesses stand out in their area, especially in competitive regions where multiple businesses offer similar services. Our approach to link building is targeted and strategic. We don’t chase spammy backlinks or meaningless mentions, instead, we focus on building authority through relevant, high-quality Australian directories, and leveraging local digital PR opportunities to secure backlinks from real, trusted Australian websites.
Google Business Profile Optimisation
Our approach to Google Business Profile optimisation is transparent and results-driven. We focus on making the updates that genuinely improve your local visibility, not just changes that give the appearance of activity. Beyond optimisation, we offer clear, ongoing reporting so you can track how your profile is performing. And if you’re looking to strengthen your local reputation, we also provide review management and systemisation services to help you consistently attract, respond to, and leverage customer feedback.
What Makes Our Local SEO Services Different?
Apart from getting the benefits of working with a dedicated SEO consultant, like personalised affordable services, there are a few other ways we stand out.
With local SEO, success depends on targeted strategies that focus on your specific area, To achieve this, you need someone who truly cares about your business and treats it as if it were their own. That’s exactly the approach we take, providing complete transparency and clear, measurable goals so together we can develop a well-rounded local SEO strategy that delivers real results.
Chances are, you found us through Google itself, which speaks to our expertise. We rank our own website highly in the local area, proving we can do the same for your business.
The Aidan Coleman Execution Plan
How We Help Your Local Business
We don’t believe in generic SEO checklists or bloated retainers. Local SEO is an active, ongoing execution process designed to take a business from underperforming to becoming a trusted authority in its area.
Here’s how we do this:
Phase 1: Local Demand & Commercial Focus
The first thing we’ll do is research. We want to understand how people actually find and choose businesses like yours in your local market, so we’ll analyse your services, locations, competitors, and enquiry value to identify the searches that lead to phone calls and bookings. The goal is simple: focus SEO effort on areas where it can produce real commercial returns.
Phase 2:Technical Clarity & On-Site Fixes
Most local websites have technical and structural issues quietly limiting their performance. We clean those up so your site is made fast, mobile-first, and easy for Google to crawl and understand. At the same time, service pages are tightened so users can easily understand what you offer, where you operate, and how to get in touch.
Phase 3: Service & Location Page Performance
We'll get your main service and location pages optimised so you can win local searches where people are actually looking to buy. We make sure layouts are clean, links between pages are strong, and the content matches what people are searching for. That way, Google knows which pages should rank. We focus on pages that bring in leads, not just content that looks cool but doesn't actually go anywhere.
Phase 4: Local Authority & Credibility Signals
Local rankings depend heavily on trust. We strengthen your authority through consistent business signals, relevant Australian links, and industry-aligned mentions that reinforce your legitimacy. If you're in a competitive market, like law and finance, this built credibility will be the difference between appearing in page one and page two.
Phase 5: Maps, Search Features & AI Results
We’ll also improve your website so it can perform well across different modern search results. With AI search pushing traditional search results down, it’s important that you show up in map listings and AI-driven recommendations. This helps your business stay visible even when users don’t scroll past the first thing they see.
Phase 6:Ongoing Measurement & Refinement
By this phase, you’ll be seeing significant improvements and results, but we won’t stop there. We’ll continue to monitor what’s driving real enquiries, review performance by service and location, and refine the strategy based on actual results.

FAQ
All of your burning local SEO questions answered!
What is local SEO and why is it important?
Local SEO helps your business show up when people in your area are searching for services and products like the ones you offer. It matters because these searches usually come from people ready to take action. They’re usually not just browsing; they’re actually looking to call, buy, or visit, and when you rank well locally you are more likely to be the one they chose to interact with.
How does Local SEO work for small businesses?
Local SEO works by helping Google’s and other search algorithms to understand what you do, where you are, and why your business should be trusted. By doing that, we can “convince” those engines to put your business face to face with people interested in services like yours. The process includes website improvements, content optimisation, and setting up a Google Business Profile. The result, when things go well, is your website showing up on AI overviews, local packs, and, of course, the Google’s first page search results.
How much does local SEO cost per month?
It depends on your market and goals. The more competitive is your market, the more you will probably need to invest. You can check SEO packages and our SEO calculator for an estimative fit for your business.
How long does Local SEO take to show results?
Our clients usually begin to see a measurable increase in leads within 3 to 6 months. We can fast-track this by targeting high intent ROI focused keywords that have lower competition but higher conversion rates, but again, it’s not something that you do once and see results, like paid ads. SEO is an ongoing thing, that’s built over time and produces results based on continuous improvements.
How do I get my business into the Google Map Pack?
The “Map Pack” is the top three local results that appear with a map. Ranking here requires a combination of an optimised Google Business Profile, consistent local citations and a steady stream of 5-star reviews. This is the most valuable real estate for small business SEO because it is the first thing customers see on their mobile phones.
