What Is Local SEO?

Let us help you get your business online and grow it with passion

Local SEO is the process of optimising your online presence so your business appears in local search results, especially for searches like:

  • “Plumber Wagga Wagga”
  • “Electrician near me”
  • “Best café Wagga”
  • “Cleaner Lake Albert”
  • “Builder Riverina”

These searches trigger Google Maps listings and the Local 3-Pack, which is prime digital real estate. Ranking here often delivers more enquiries than traditional website results.

Why Google Maps Optimisation Is Critical

Let us help you get your business online and grow it with passion

For most local businesses, Google Maps is where decisions are made. Customers compare businesses based on:

  • Location
  • Reviews
  • Photos
  • Services
  • Trust signals

If your Google Business Profile is incomplete, poorly optimised, or inactive, Google will rank your competitors above you — even if your business is better.

Our Google Maps optimisation ensures your business stands out and ranks where it matters most.

A well-optimised profile leads to more calls, website visits, and directions.

Local Keyword Targeting

We research exactly how people in Wagga Wagga and surrounding towns search for your services. This includes:

  • “Near me” searches
  • Suburb-based and neighbouring towns searches (e.g. Lake Albert, Kooringal, Tatton, Junee, Tumut, Tumbarumba, Griffith)
  • Emergency and high-intent keywords
  • Service-specific terms

These keywords are then applied across your website and Google profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between SEO and Local SEO?

SEO targets general search results, while Local SEO focuses on location-based searches and Google Maps visibility. Local SEO is essential for service-area businesses.

Do I need a physical address to rank on Google Maps?

Not always. Service-area businesses can still rank with the correct setup and optimisation.

Can you help if my Google listing is suspended or underperforming?

Yes. We can diagnose issues, clean up profiles, and rebuild strong local signals.

Is Local SEO better than Google Ads?

Local SEO provides long-term results without paying per click. Many businesses use both together for best results.
