Google Maps visibility

Why isn’t my business showing up on Google Maps in Adelaide?

Google says local results are based mainly on three things: relevance (how well your profile matches the search), distance (how far you are from the person searching) and prominence (how well-known your business is, including reviews and links from other websites). It also says there’s no way to pay for a better local ranking. You have to earn it.

When an Adelaide business doesn’t appear in the map pack, it’s almost always one of these:

Incomplete or vague profile

What it looks like

Wrong primary category, missing services, no hours, few photos

Not relevant to the suburb

What it looks like

You show up in one suburb but disappear 5 km away

What we do about it

Set service areas and build suburb-relevant content on your website

Too few reviews, or none answered

What it looks like

Competitors have more, newer reviews with replies

What we do about it

A simple review system for you to ask happy customers, and replies to every review

Inconsistent details online

What it looks like

Old phone numbers or names on directories

What we do about it

Find and fix your listings so every directory says the same thing

A website that doesn’t back up the profile

What it looks like

No page for each service or area you serve

What we do about it

Pages and on-page SEO that confirm what your profile says

A profile that looks inactive

What it looks like

No new photos, posts or videos for months

What we do about it

Reels included

Two reels a week, included at no extra cost

Most local SEO agencies stop at Google. We don’t, because people check your socials before they call. Every week, you send us a few short clips filmed on your phone: a job in progress, a before and after, a quick tip, your team at work. We turn them into two finished reels with captions, music, cuts and on-screen text, ready to post on Instagram, TikTok or Facebook.

The same videos go on your Google Business Profile, so your listing stays active and looks like a real, busy business. Customers notice. So does Google.

Not sure what to film? We’ll send you a simple monthly shot list.

You film. A few short phone clips: a job in progress, a before and after, a quick tip.

Month 2

Month 3

Grow and refine

After 90 days: the same monthly rhythm continues, focused on the suburbs and services that bring you the most enquiries.

An honest note: local SEO builds over time. Profile improvements often show up in your Google insights within weeks; ranking for competitive searches usually takes longer. After your audit, we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your industry and suburbs.

What is local SEO?

Local SEO is the work that helps your business show up when people nearby search for what you do, especially in the Google map pack and on Google Maps. It covers your Google Business Profile, reviews, directory listings and your website.

Our plan is $1,100 a month with no setup fee and no lock-in contract. It includes everything on this page, including two edited reels a week.

You’ll usually see early signs in your Google profile insights, such as calls and website clicks, within the first few weeks. Ranking for competitive searches takes longer and depends on your industry and suburb. We’ll give you a realistic timeline after your audit.

No, and be careful of anyone who does. Google says there’s no way to pay for a better local ranking. What we can promise is the work that Google says matters, done every month and reported honestly.

Yes. Businesses that visit customers, such as trades and mobile services, can set up a service-area profile that hides the address and lists the suburbs they serve. We’ll set yours up correctly.

Not always. We’ll improve the website you have if it’s in reasonable shape. If it’s slow, outdated or missing key pages, we’ll tell you honestly and quote a new site separately.

Very little. Film a few short clips for your reels, send review requests to happy customers using the link we give you, and join a short monthly call. We handle the rest.

Yes. We reply to every review, positive or negative, in your voice. We’ll check with you first before replying to anything sensitive.

We’ll review why it happened and help you through Google’s reinstatement process. Google makes the final decision, so we can’t promise the outcome.

You do. We work as a manager on your profile. If you ever leave, you keep the profile, the reviews and all the content.
