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

Website Optimisation for Local SEO website designs (1)

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:

  1. Google Business Profile Optimisation
  2. Website Optimisation
  3. 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 If it’s missing info, out of date, or not optimised, it’s buried under competitors — even if you’re the better business.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.

See What Google Sees: Grid Map Tracking

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.
