How is “Local SEO” different from regular SEO?

General SEO focuses on ranking your website globally or nationally. Local SEO is hyper-focused on ensuring your business appears when potential customers search for services in their immediate vicinity (e.g., “plumber Richmond” or “best cafe near me”). For local SEO in Melbourne, we optimise your Google Business Profile, manage local citations in Australian directories, and create content relevant to specific Melbourne suburbs. This is crucial for brick-and-mortar stores and service-area businesses looking to capture foot traffic and local leads.
