Local SEO in Melbourne is whether you show in the Maps pack when someone searches the suburb and the job. It is not a second agency product. It is NAP, a real Google Business Profile, reviews you earned, and pages that are unique. We do that from Docklands.
TL;DR
- Fix GBP first: category, hours, photos, services, the right pin. Duplicate listings are how you disappear.
- Same name, address, phone on the site, GBP and directories. “St” versus “Street” is a real problem.
- Reviews you actually got, replied to. Do not buy them.
- Suburb pages that are unique. Spun CBD/Richmond/Dandenong clones waste the crawl.
- If the profile is a mess, do not buy a “content engine” yet.
The pack, not a national rank
Relevance, distance, prominence. You cannot move the shopfront. You can complete the profile, keep NAP identical, and earn reviews. Schema that matches the HTML helps machines read the same facts. It does not buy the pack on its own.
Multi-location and service area
One site, one page per location, unique copy. Separate websites for each suburb split authority. If you travel to the customer, set the service area honestly. Do not hide a fake CBD pin for a Cranbourne van.
