What Our Local Search Marketing Includes
Google Business Profile Management
We claim and verify your profile, correct hours and service areas, add categories and photos, and keep posts fresh. That helps your listing show up for searches in the area and improves click-throughs to your site and directions.
We also set up insights tracking so you see how many calls and direction clicks you get each month.
Local Citation Audit and Cleanup
Bad or inconsistent listings hurt local rankings. We find duplicates, fix addresses and update major directories. Then we build new citations with the correct NAP so search engines trust your details.
We focus on high-value local directories and industry-specific listings that matter for Canberra businesses.
Review Strategy and Reputation Help
Reviews matter. We give you templates for asking customers, advice for replying and a workflow so positive reviews are shown on your profile. Negative feedback gets handled in a way that reduces damage.
We track review counts and ratings, then suggest small fixes that improve public perception over time.
Local Landing Pages and On-Page SEO
We create pages aimed at neighbourhood searches, with clear contact options and map embeds. Pages are optimized for keywords people actually use when searching near Canberra suburbs.
That helps organic traffic convert into calls and visits.

What Affects Local Search Marketing Cost in Canberra
The cost of Local Search Marketing in Canberra varies based on several factors:
Current Listing Condition
If your listings are messy with duplicates, cleanup takes longer and costs more. A clean starting point is quicker to improve and cheaper overall.
Number of Locations
Single-location businesses are simpler. Multiple sites need separate profiles, pages and citation work which raises cost and time.
Competition Level
High-competition categories in central Canberra or busy suburbs need more ongoing work to stay visible, so pricing reflects effort and monitoring.
Ongoing Management vs Setup
One-off setup and cleanup is cheaper than ongoing monthly management. If you want continual review handling and content updates, plan for monthly fees.
