Know what is being worked on
Every day you’re not in the top 3, you’re losing local buyers to competitors.
When someone in Melbourne searches for what you do, they see your competitors at the top of Google Maps first. They check reviews, scan the profile, click through to the website, and contact the business that looks most relevant and trustworthy.
Meanwhile, your business is pushed further down the page, fighting for attention after the buyer has already formed an opinion.
How We Improve Your Local Google Rankings
We focus on the signals that matter for local visibility: your Google Business Profile, website, reviews, competitor gaps and local authority.
Google Business Profile Optimisation
Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing local buyers see. We clean it up, strengthen it, and make sure it clearly matches your services and target area.
- Category, service and description optimisation
- Service area and location signal review
- Photo, post and update recommendations
- Competitor comparison and quick-win fixes
Review & Trust Signal Strategy
Reviews affect both rankings and buyer trust. We help you make it easier for happy customers to leave reviews and help your profile look stronger against competitors.
- Review request process recommendations
- Review response guidance and templates
- Review volume and recency strategy
- Trust signal gaps compared with competitors
Website & Local Authority Building
Google needs to understand what you do, where you do it, and why your business deserves to rank. We improve the website and local signals that support your Google Maps visibility.
- Website structure and service-page optimisation
- Local citations and business listing consistency
- Relevant local backlinks and authority signals
- Content and on-page signals that support rankings

Real Results
Two real campaigns. Two levels of result.
These are recent Melbourne campaigns, and they line up with the packages below so you can see what each level of work actually delivers. No inflated agency theatre.
#1 on Google Maps
A Melbourne photography business came to us with a new profile and zero local visibility. We built their Google Business Profile, created and optimised their website and built local authority. Within about 70 days they ranked #1 on Google Maps and reached page 1 of Google for their primary keyword.
Page 3 to page 1
A Melbourne hairdresser was sitting on page 3 where almost nobody found them. With Google Business Profile optimisation and foundational local SEO, they moved onto page 1 and into the top 10 for their main service in about 60 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve tried SEO before and it didn’t work. Why would this be different?+
Most local businesses that have been burned by SEO were sold vague promises, got reports full of activity and saw little change in actual enquiries. We work differently. We lock in one specific target before work starts: your main keyword, measured across your service area. If we miss it in 90 days, billing pauses. If you’ve been told “SEO takes time” with nothing to show for it, that’s not an SEO problem, that’s an accountability problem. We’ve built the guarantee specifically because of that pattern.
Will this work for my type of business?+
If you’re a local business with a clear offer and customers who find you through Google, local SEO can almost certainly help. That includes fixed-location businesses like salons, clinics and mechanics, and mobile or service-area businesses like tradies and cleaners. We review your market before recommending anything. If we don’t think the target is realistic for your situation, we’ll say so before you spend a dollar.
How can you offer a 90-day ranking guarantee?+
We don’t offer it to everyone. Before any Top 3 Guarantee campaign starts, we review your market, competitors, Google Business Profile, website and reviews. If the target is realistic, we lock in your main keyword and the area we’ll measure it across. If we don’t hit it within 90 days, billing pauses and we keep working for free, for up to 3 more months. Your part is asking your customers for Google reviews during the campaign. We set up everything to make that easy. We turn down businesses where we don’t think we can deliver. That’s what makes the guarantee mean something.
What does this cost?+
The GBP Overhaul is $400 once-off, credited toward a monthly package if you upgrade within 60 days. Local Momentum is $1,400/month. Top 3 Guarantee is $1,800/month. Both monthly packages have an initial 90-day commitment, then month-to-month after that. AI Search Visibility can be added to either for $400/month.
What’s the difference between Local Momentum and Top 3 Guarantee?+
Local Momentum is consistent local SEO work without a ranking target. It suits businesses that want steady progress but aren’t ready to commit to a specific goal. Top 3 Guarantee includes everything in Local Momentum, plus the 90-day top 3 Google Maps target, the billing pause if we miss it, deeper website optimisation, weekly Google Business Profile posts and replies to your positive reviews. If you’re serious about getting more local leads from Google, Top 3 Guarantee is the one.
How long until I see results?+
Some businesses see ranking movement within the first few weeks, especially when there are obvious Google Business Profile or website gaps to fix. More competitive markets take longer. The 90-day target exists because that’s a realistic timeframe for meaningful, measurable progress on most local campaigns we take on.
How much time do I need to put in?+
Not much after onboarding. We’ll need access to your Google Business Profile and website, plus your business details and service information to get started. After that, we handle the work and keep you updated. Most clients spend less than an hour a month on their end.
Am I locked in?+
There’s an initial 90-day commitment on the monthly packages. SEO needs consistency to work and the first 90 days are where the foundation gets built. After that, it’s month-to-month with 14 days written notice to cancel. You stay because the work is producing results, not because you’re stuck.
Do you work with businesses outside Melbourne?+
Yes. We’re Melbourne-based but we work with local service businesses across Australia. Local SEO is about ranking in your specific area, not ours, so your location doesn’t limit what we can do for you.
