Why is Local SEO Important?
An essential goal for many businesses is getting their brand in front of the right local customers. You can find relevant, motivated prospects actively searching for your products or services with an SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) strategy; one that has been specifically designed to boost traffic to your website, boost online sales or increase foot traffic to your physical premises.
LocaliQ offers tailored SEO strategies to reach the right audiences at the right time. With 46% of searches in 2023 featuring local intent, local SEO is essential. A localised SEO strategy also offers a higher conversion rate with 28% of local searches resulting in a purchase within 24 hours. This success is attributed to local SEO’s ability to target a more specific and qualified audience, driving immediate results.
Our local SEO service is designed to get your brand on the map in your area so customers can find you when they need to. The vast majority of today’s consumers conduct online searches to find the local products and services they need. Whether you’re a retail business or a tradie, local SEO is key to capturing your customers when they need you.
Capitalise on Where to Buy and Near Me SEO
Place your business front and centre when potential customers make common search queries with ‘where to buy’ and ‘near me’ SEO optimisation. Major search engines like Google often include these queries as autocomplete search predictions to improve user experience. When someone searches for a service like ‘plumber’, for example, search engines will suggest adding ‘near me’ to the end.
Any businesses without a local SEO strategy in place could be missing out on valuable local leads captured through these kinds of search queries. We’ve worked across just about every industry sector in Australia with experience providing SEO services for lawyers, finance firms, healthcare providers, educational institutions, ecommerce businesses, hotels, cafes, restaurants and tradies, to name a few. You can count on a local SEO consultant at LocaliQ for tailored strategies to help you reach the right audiences.

SEO Audit
Every strategic SEO campaign begins with an in-depth audit of your website. A local SEO specialist at LocaliQ will thoroughly review existing content and UX, identifying gaps and specifying areas in need of improvement. From there, we’ll create a tailored action plan to improve your online visibility.
Local Keyword Research
Our local SEO experts specialise in strategic keyword selection. We use the latest research tools and website data to determine which keywords and search queries to target. Rather than selecting based only on traffic, we approach keyword research with the goal of finding how to drive conversions and achieve a good ROI.
Local Competitor Analysis
Understand your competitive landscape and cut through local competition in your industry. An SEO specialist at LocaliQ will determine what kind of geo-targeted content can help your brand stand out to relevant local audiences. Our approach uses data-driven insights and careful research to establish and deploy the right tactics, helping you to cut through the noise.
Local Citations
Improve local pack-ranking factors and overall online visibility with local citations. This involves our team submitting your site to relevant local directories such as Yellow Pages, Yelp, Hot Frog, Start Local and hipages. This strengthens your website’s credibility and boosts visibility for local search queries by helping search engines better understand your business. They do this by cross referencing relevant information about your company, namely what you do and where you provide services.
Local Content
Once we’ve locked in target keywords and assessed your competition, we create localised SEO content that resonates with potential customers. SEO-optimised content is the most powerful tool to help improve your website rankings, reach potential customers and drive conversions. The key is to emphasise local search terms in everything from landing page copy, videos and blog posts to graphics, maps, opening hours, delivery details and contact information across your site.
Quality content is also key. This means providing genuinely helpful, informative and engaging content that guides customers through your products and services and encourages them to make purchases or get in touch. Regularly updating content with new images and information can also increase organic traffic.
On-Site Optimisation
Along with search intent and relevance, major search engines like Google also factor in the quality of user experience offered by your website. This includes page structure and formatting, site architecture, images, internal link structure and metadata, as well as how quickly your pages load. Approximately 20% of your SEO ranking is influenced by on-site optimisation.
Title tags are another essential factor that influences rankings as they help match your site with search intent. Users see titles first when they’re looking through search results, so it’s important your titles make an impact while including local terms. Our team specialises in crafting page titles and descriptions that are eye-catching, informative and improve click-through rates.
Content Strategy
Part of a successful content creation strategy is a well thought out content strategy that aligns with your business goals. Our local SEO agency will create a content calendar that helps improve and maintain your website’s performance in search rankings. This content calendar also forms the basis for a long-term organic content marketing campaign to consistently drive traffic to your website.
Reporting and Tracking
Quality local SEO companies like LocaliQ deliver services with a focus on maximising ROI for you. We’ll keep you in the loop with regular reports on your target keyword rankings, organic visibility and website traffic. We use these insights to constantly refine and optimise your website to ensure our strategies are having the best possible impact.

FAQs About Local SEO Services
What is Local SEO?
Local search engine optimisation (SEO) is the process of improving your brand’s visibility in relevant search engine results. The goal is to increase the number of users who click on your site, purchase your products or services, contact your business, or physically visit your premises. Local SEO includes a variety of steps and tactics, from building your Google My Business page to regularly creating content rich with geographic keywords to target potential customers in your area.
Which Businesses Need Local SEO?
Any location-based businesses can benefit enormously from local SEO strategies. LocaliQ has provided SEO services for lawyers, restaurants, cafes, medical services, builders, plumbers, roofing companies, schools, local retailers and many other businesses who either have a physical location or provide services in a set geographic area.
Whatever the industry, reaching a good position in relevant search results is often incredibly competitive, mostly because users tend not to navigate beyond the first page of search engine results. Local SEO companies help your business boost those search results and put your brand front and centre.
What Services does a Local SEO Agency Offer?
A specialist local SEO company like LocaliQ helps brands rank higher in relevant search results using both on-page and off-page methods. This includes keyword research, revising website design and structure, creating new content and optimising your presence on local directories. The kind of services your business needs will depend on your current performance in search results as well as the level of competition, target audiences, location and other factors.
Do I Need a Website for Successful Local SEO?
It’s not necessary to have a website for successful local SEO, but we do recommend it. Businesses without a website can still create and optimise a Google My Business page. A GMB page can help you appear in a ‘3-pack’ at the top of Google Maps if there isn’t much competition.
To effectively compete with other businesses in the same industry and local area, it’s essential to have a well-optimised website. With dedicated pages for all the products and services you offer, there are more opportunities to create geographic, keyword rich content to help boost your presence in search results.
How Much does Local SEO Cost?
As there are so many variables, the cost of a local SEO campaign can fluctuate. It ultimately depends on what kind of services you need, the current state of your website, the competitive landscape your brand operates in and whether you have an existing SEO strategy in place. Our local SEO company packages our services, tailoring them competitively depending on what you need. All our pricing is transparent and can be adjusted according to your budget.
What are the Different Elements of Local SEO?
There is a range of different elements that influence a successful local SEO campaign, including:
- Improving website load times and page structure
- Keyword optimisation on landing pages, blog posts and other content
- Local listings
- Metadata optimisation
- Google My Business
During our SEO audit process, our team will determine precisely what your business needs to help improve your ranking in local searches.
Can LocaliQ Help with Local SEO and PPC Ads?
LocaliQ provides a comprehensive range of digital marketing services including both local SEO and pay-per-click (PPC) advertising campaigns. Our team understands the importance of using paid and organic marketing approaches which complement one another.
SEO is a long-term strategy aimed at growing your brand, increasing online visibility and steadily generating new traffic and leads. PPC ads are ideal for achieving short-term campaign goals such as boosting enquiries about, and increasing sales of, specific products.
How Long Does it Take to See Results from Local SEO?
The time it takes to see results from local SEO strategies can vary. If you’re a new business looking to break into a competitive market, for example, it can be 6 months or more before you see tangible results. A well-established business in a less competitive market can see results in as little as a month.
When you get in touch with a local SEO specialist at LocaliQ, you’ll get a more specific estimate of how long it’ll take to see results from our local SEO service. We’ll assess your business, your website and your goals before providing an honest and transparent action plan to improve your brand’s SEO efforts. We’ll also discuss what it’ll cost, what kind of results to expect and when you’re likely to start seeing those results.
