Local SEO 101

All too well we know the thrill of turning our passions into a thriving enterprise, that’s how Hyperspace began. But with the vastness of the methods people use to find local services or products, how does one ensure their business pops up when potential customers conduct related searches to your offering?

If you are running paid advertising campaigns, particularly on search engine platforms (such as Google Ads) then optimising your online assets for local SEO should be part of your marketing mix.

The best part is every SEO investment you make, you’ll get to keep, often compounding returns year on year.

So if you’re serious about the long-term success of your local business, then you are in the right place. In this article we will journey through the intricacies of Local SEO, helping you decode its potential. We’ll explain how long each step will take to implement, and what you should focus on first.

What is Local SEO?​

Local SEO (Local Search Engine Optimisation) focuses on optimising a business’s online presence to attract more customers from relevant local searches on search engines. It involves a range of strategies and tactics aimed at promoting local businesses to local customers at the exact time they’re looking for them.

The primary difference between Local SEO and general SEO is the geographical component. With Local SEO, businesses aim to rank high for local searches by people in their immediate vicinity, ensuring that local customers find and choose them over competitors.

Why is it crucial for local businesses?

So, why is Local SEO crucial? Well, local search engine optimisation is recognised to be more powerful than the sign-writing on the back of your ute, the sandwich board outside your store or even a prominent billboard.

There are over 2 million localised searches similar to “electrician near me” conducted in Australia every day. Now, imagine the potential if your business could pop up for relevant online searches.

Requirements needed for local SEO

These are the core elements of Local SEO that are essential for any business aiming to flourish in its local community. These vital components, when optimised correctly, can be the difference in protecting the viability of your business.

1. Google Business Profile

This free tool from Google allows businesses to manage their online presence across the search engine, including Google Search and Google Maps. By claiming and optimising your Google Business Profile listing, businesses can appear in local search results for queries specific to their products or services.

2. Mobile-first optimised website

Given that many local searches are done on mobile devices, ensuring your website is mobile-friendly is crucial. Optimisation for SEO must be mobile-first because Google indexes and ranks the mobile version of your website.

3. Local reviews

Online reviews, especially on your Google Business Profile, play a pivotal role in local search rankings. Encouraging satisfied customers to leave positive reviews can significantly boost a business’s credibility and attract more customers. Reviews must be left by real customers in the local areas you service.

4. Productise your services

The biggest mistake we see local business owners make when building their websites is having one page with all their services listed. This is usually due to budget restraints when building the website. The SEO settings are optimised for the word ‘services’ and not for their business offerings. Understanding what your target audience is searching for online and optimising your website to match their queries with your business objectives is crucial to local SEO success.

5. Advanced Schema Markup

Advanced local schema markup helps search engines understand exactly where your business serves customers, boosting visibility for nearby searches and reducing irrelevant traffic. Beyond the basics (name, address, phone), adding a defined service area signals your true coverage—especially useful for service businesses without a shopfront.

In JSON-LD, you can pair serviceArea with areaServed to describe both a named place and a precise radius from a geo midpoint, like this:

This structure clarifies your base location, names Doncaster as a key service area, and sets a 5 km coverage from the specified coordinates—giving Google stronger signals for local intent queries and helping your pages surface for the right nearby users.

Identify local SEO opportunities for your business

Identifying a need to invest in local SEO for your business is a straightforward process. 

  • Does your business appear on the first page of Google’s organic search results for your services or products? Try searching for keywords that include the location you service or the location you wish to attract customers from.
  • Does your business appear in Google Maps? Google lists the top 3 – 4 Google Business Profiles in organic search results for localised searches (a search that includes a location; ‘lawn mowing services Mentone‘). Google lists the top Google Business Profiles where the user is geographically located for non-localised searches (searches that do not include a location; ‘lawn mowing services‘, ‘lawn mowing services near me‘).
  • Does your business pay for advertising on Google? Since 2019 Google Ads has been increasing the cost per click by approximately 300% YoY. Investing in SEO and appearing on the first page of Google for keywords you are bidding on is a wise long-term strategy to help protect your business from increasing costs.

This is a basic guide to help you identify SEO opportunities for your business. We would love the opportunity to present an in-depth analysis of your business’s organic visibility gaps.

FAQs about Local SEO services

If you have any questions we would love to hear from you. Email us a question or request a strategy session.

Local SEO services help your business appear in search results when people nearby look for your products or services. This usually includes work on your Google Business Profile, local keywords, map visibility, reviews, business citations, on-page SEO, and location-based content.

Local SEO helps nearby customers find you at the exact moment they need what you offer. It can bring more phone calls, website visits, direction requests, and leads from people in your service area.

Local SEO works by sending clear location signals to search engines. These signals include your business name, address, phone number, service areas, website content, Google Business Profile, online reviews, and listings on trusted directories.

SEO focuses on improving your visibility in broader search results, while local SEO focuses on helping you rank for searches tied to a location, such as “accountant near me” or “best café in Fitzroy”.

Yes. A major part of local SEO is improving your visibility in Google Maps and the local pack. This often involves optimising your Google Business Profile, building consistent citations, earning reviews, and improving location relevance on your website.
Most businesses start to see movement within a few months, though timing depends on your market, competition, website condition, and starting point. Stronger results often build over time as your local authority grows.
Local SEO services often include keyword research, Google Business Profile work, citation fixes, on-page SEO, location pages, technical SEO checks, review strategy, local link building, and monthly reporting.
Yes. Your Google Business Profile is one of the most important parts of local SEO. It helps your business appear in Maps, local search results, and branded searches, and gives customers quick access to your contact details, hours, and reviews.
Local citations are online mentions of your business name, address, and phone number on directories, websites, and platforms such as local business listings. Accurate citations help search engines trust your business information.
Reviews can improve trust, click-through rates, and local visibility. A steady flow of genuine reviews shows search engines and customers that your business is active, relevant, and reliable.
Yes. If you travel to customers rather than serving them at a physical location, local SEO can still help. Your strategy can focus on service areas, suburb pages, Google Business Profile settings, and local intent keywords.
The cost depends on your goals, the size of your service area, the number of locations you have, and how competitive your market is. A small local business will usually need a different level of work than a business targeting several suburbs or cities. Pay a minimum service retainer of $1500AUD or more.
Local SEO works best as an ongoing service. Search results change, competitors keep moving, and your business details, reviews, and website content need regular attention to stay strong.
A professional agency can save you time and avoid costly mistakes. You get a clear plan, technical know-how, content support, and steady work focused on better local visibility, more enquiries, and stronger return on investment.
