The Quick Version

When someone types “plumber near me” or “best coffee Scarborough” into Google, a few businesses show up on the map with their photos, reviews, and phone number. That's your Google Business Profile.

Most small businesses either don't have one, or set it up once and never touched it again. Sorting it out properly — and keeping it updated — is one of the highest-return things a local business can do. It's free to have, and for many businesses it does more than an expensive website redesign.

That's what this service focuses on. Practical, local visibility. Not agency hype. And there are no guaranteed rankings — results typically take 3–6 months. What I can do is follow proven best practices and help local customers find you when they search.

“I'll tell you honestly what makes sense for your business.”

Sound Familiar?

“I set up my Google Business Profile ages ago but never really did anything with it.”

You and most of your competitors. The difference is, the ones showing up in search have someone looking after theirs. That's what I do.

“I've got happy customers but barely any reviews online.”

Most people don't leave reviews unless you make it easy for them. I'll set up a system that asks at the right time, with a direct link. No awkward conversations.

“An agency quoted me $2,000 a month for SEO and I have no idea if it's worth it.”

For most local businesses, it isn't. A well-optimised Google Business Profile often does more for visibility than ongoing SEO. I'll tell you honestly what makes sense.

Just starting out? The Business Launch Package includes Google Business Profile setup.

Tip: Most local businesses get great results from a one-time GBP setup ($400–$600). Add Review Management if you want help building and responding to reviews. Ongoing SEO is only worth it for competitive markets — I'll tell you honestly if you need it.

What this service covers

  • Google Business Profile setup — Categories, photos, services, attributes, and full optimisation
  • Local visibility basics — Getting listed on directories like Yellow Pages and True Local, consistent business info everywhere (name, address, phone), schema markup (special code that helps Google understand your business), and website SEO tweaks
  • Review management — Monitoring, professional responses, automated review requests, and monthly reporting
  • Ongoing optimisation — GBP updates, content improvements, competitor monitoring, and performance reports for competitive markets

Why Google Business Profile matters more than most realise

When someone searches “electrician near me” or “coffee shop Fremantle,” a well-set-up Google Business Profile can put you at the top of the map results — often ahead of actual websites.

It’s free to use, shows your reviews and contact info, and most small businesses haven’t optimized it properly. For many local businesses, this delivers better results than expensive ongoing SEO.

Good to know

  • No guaranteed rankings — Google controls the algorithm. I follow best practices and optimize properly, but can't promise specific positions.
  • Results take time — GBP optimisation can show results within weeks, but broader SEO typically takes 3–6 months.
  • I stick to legitimate methods — No link schemes, keyword stuffing, or fake reviews. Just sustainable practices that won't get you penalized.

Common Questions

No, and anyone who does is lying. SEO takes 3–6 months to see meaningful results and depends on many factors. What I can guarantee is honest work following best practices and regular reporting on your progress.
Honestly, it depends on your market and goals. For many local businesses, a solid Google Business Profile setup is enough. For more competitive markets, ongoing SEO work might be worthwhile. I'll tell you what I think makes sense for your situation — even if that means less work for me.
GBP Setup ($400–$600) focuses specifically on your Google Business Profile — optimising your listing so you show up in map results and local searches. Local SEO Foundations ($800–$1,500) goes broader: it includes GBP setup plus directory listings, making sure your business info is consistent across the web, schema markup on your website, and other technical tweaks. If you’re not sure which you need, start with GBP — it’s where most local businesses get the biggest bang for their buck.
I monitor your reviews across platforms, draft professional responses (you approve before they go live), set up automated systems to request reviews from happy customers, and send you a monthly report on how your reputation is tracking. Think of it as having someone in your corner making sure your online reputation reflects the quality of your actual work — without you having to think about it.
I set up automated review request systems that send friendly reminders to happy customers at the right time. I also help you respond to reviews (positive and negative) in a professional, authentic way. No fake reviews, ever — just making it easy for genuinely happy customers to share their experience.
Probably not, honestly. Most local businesses do well with a one-time GBP setup and maybe Review Management. The Ongoing SEO & Reputation plan ($500–$1,000/mo) is really only worth it if you’re in a competitive market where multiple businesses are actively fighting for the same local search results. I’ll tell you straight if I think you need it or not.
Absolutely. That’s actually what I’d recommend for most businesses. Get your Google Business Profile sorted first ($400–$600), see how it goes, and then decide if you want to add Review Management or broader Local SEO later. There’s no pressure to commit to everything upfront.
No. Both Review Management and Ongoing SEO are month-to-month with no lock-in contracts. Give 30 days notice and you can cancel anytime. I’d rather keep you because the work is worth it, not because you’re stuck in a contract.
