If your customers come from within thirty kilometres, national SEO advice is mostly irrelevant to you. Local search is won on the Google Business Profile, genuine proximity signals, reviews and suburb level content. That is what we do.
Your Google Business Profile has the wrong primary category, which is the single biggest local ranking factor most businesses get wrong
You have eleven reviews and your competitor has ninety, and Google notices
Your business name, address and phone number are inconsistent across the directories, so Google is not confident about who you are
You service twelve suburbs and have one page mentioning all of them in a list
Your website has no local content at all beyond the word Melbourne in the footer
If any of these sound familiar, we can fix it.

Regular SEO is about ranking web pages. Local SEO is about ranking a business in a place, which means the Google Business Profile does a lot of the heavy lifting alongside your website. The three biggest factors are relevance, meaning your categories and services match the search, distance from the searcher, which you cannot change, and prominence, which is reviews, citations and general authority. Website content supports all of it but it is not the whole story the way it is in national SEO.
Local SEO in Melbourne is quoted to scope after a local visibility audit. You receive a written, itemised proposal before any work begins, and all quotes are plus GST. Cost depends on the number of locations and Google Business Profiles, how many suburb pages need writing, citation cleanup and review strategy. Businesses with several locations are quoted per location, because each profile needs its own work.
Profile optimisation often moves rankings within two to four weeks because you are correcting signals Google already has. Expanding your coverage radius takes longer, generally three to six months, because it depends on review volume and authority building rather than a settings change.
Yes, but not as easily. Google weights proximity heavily, so a competitor with an actual office in that suburb has an advantage you cannot fully overcome. What you can do is build genuine service area content, gather reviews that mention the suburb naturally, and pick up the organic results underneath the map pack, which is often where the better quality enquiries come from anyway.
Not for every suburb, no. Build proper pages for the five to ten suburbs that genuinely matter to your business and write them with real local content. Twenty thin pages with the suburb name swapped will do less than five good ones, and at a certain point Google starts treating them as doorway pages, which is a risk not worth taking.
Free local visibility audit including a geo grid rank check across your target suburbs. You will see your real map coverage, not a single position.
