Reviews & reputation
Request flows, response scripts, and repeatable service proof.
Local proof
Photos, teams, projects, and citations that match the map.
What is Local & GEO SEO (and why it matters)
Local & GEO SEO helps people nearby find and choose you. It aligns your on-site content, Google Business Profile, and real-world proof—so you appear for “near me”, city, suburb, and landmark searches with trustworthy, consistent signals.
What we optimise
- Service area pages (city, suburb, zip/pincode) with unique local value
- Google Business Profile: categories, services, products, posts, Q&A, messaging
- Reviews: request flows, response playbooks, dispute process
- Consistency: NAP, citations, hours, holiday hours, attributes
- Local proof: images, projects, team, compliance, awards, directions
What we avoid
- Doorway pages or thin city clones
- Fake locations or virtual offices misrepresented as physical
- Keyword stuffing in names or categories
- Review gating or incentivised reviews against policy
Clean, honest signals perform better over time and reduce suspension risk.

Local & GEO SEO FAQs
Quick answers in plain language. If you don’t see your question, send us a note.
Can a service-area business rank without a storefront?
Yes. Use a service radius in your GBP, hide your street address, list real areas you serve, and build strong local pages with proof.
How many city pages should we create?
Start with your top 4–8 areas where you already win customers. Each page must be unique: local examples, reviews, photos, and directions.
Are citations still useful?
Yes, when accurate. Prioritise major / industry directories, fix duplicates, and keep hours/categories consistent with your GBP.
What moves the needle fastest?
Complete GBP setup, fresh photos, weekly posts, review responses in 48h, and 4–8 strong service-area pages with clear CTAs.
