How does Google rank local businesses on Google Maps?

Google ranks local results on three things: relevance (how well your profile matches the search), distance (how far you are from the searcher) and prominence (how well known and well reviewed you are). MarketingOnWeb's local SEO improves relevance and prominence, since distance can't be changed.

Why is my business not showing on Google Maps?

A business usually doesn't show on Google Maps because its Google Business Profile isn't verified, has been suspended, uses the wrong categories, or competitors closer to the searcher are more prominent. MarketingOnWeb's free local SEO check finds which of these applies and what to fix first.

Questions people ask about local SEO Melbourne

How much does local SEO cost in Melbourne?+

MarketingOnWeb's local SEO for Melbourne businesses is part of one flat package: $990 a month + GST, month to month. It includes Google Business Profile work, reviews strategy, local pages, citations, technical SEO, AEO and a monthly report.

How long does local SEO take?+

Fixes to a Google Business Profile can lift map visibility within weeks, while stronger local rankings usually build over three to six months. Google says SEO in general takes four months to a year. MarketingOnWeb reports progress monthly.

Do Google reviews help local SEO?+

Yes. Google lists review count and rating as part of prominence, one of its three local ranking factors. MarketingOnWeb sets up a simple way to ask every happy customer for a genuine review, without buying or incentivising reviews.

Do I need a shopfront for local SEO?+

No. Service-area businesses like tradies can hide their address and list the suburbs they serve in Google Business Profile. MarketingOnWeb sets this up correctly so you show up across your service area.

Should I have a page for every suburb?+

Only for suburbs you genuinely serve and can say something specific about. Google treats copy-paste suburb pages as low quality. MarketingOnWeb builds fewer, genuinely local pages instead.

What is a citation in local SEO?+

A citation is a listing of your business name, address and phone number on another site, such as an Australian business directory. Consistent citations help Google trust your details. MarketingOnWeb builds and cleans them up as part of local SEO.
