Google Business Profile Optimisation
Pillar 1 of Local SEO: Be Found Where It Matters Most
Get found locally and climb the Google Maps rankings with our proven Google Business Profile Optimisation system
If you’re a local business, your next customer is already looking for you — most likely on Google. That’s why at Brisbane Local SEO Agency, our local SEO strategy starts with your Google Business Profile (GBP).
It’s Pillar 1 of our 3 Pillars Framework:
- Google Business Profile Optimisation
- Website Optimisation
- Online Reputation Management
All three work together — but this first one? It’s your front door on Google.
Why Your Google Business Profile Matters
You’ve probably Googled a café or tradie near you and picked one based on what popped up at the top — photos, reviews, opening hours, maybe even a tempting deal.
That little profile can make or break a sale. Your ideal customer is doing the same.
But here’s the catch: just claiming your listing isn’t enough. If it’s missing info, out of date, or not optimised, it’s buried under competitors — even if you’re the better business.
What We Optimise (So You Get Noticed)
We turn underperforming Google listings into high-visibility lead magnets. Here’s how:
Complete & Accurate Info
Smart Service Categories
Photos & Posts That Sell
Review Strategy
Service Area Targeting
Each of these improves your visibility, trust, and click-throughs.
Wait — How Does Local Search Actually Work?
Local search is different from regular SEO. Instead of ranking websites, Google ranks businesses near the searcher. It looks at:
Relevance
Are you what they’re looking for?
Distance
Are you close enough to serve them?
Prominence
Are you trusted and active?
A well-optimised GBP hits all three.
If you’re not showing up when people nearby search? You’re invisible.

Grid Maps show how your business ranks across a local area — suburb by suburb, block by block. Each pin shows your position in search results from that point.
Most business owners have never seen this. But once they do, it all clicks.
🟥 Red Grid Map — Ranking #10 or lower
“People say they can’t find us online.”
🟩 Green Grid Map — Ranking in top 3
“Now we’re getting calls from all over.”
This insight comes from our Local Search Audit — it’s the first step to visibility.
