Local SEO and Google Business Profile

It is the free listing that appears on Google Maps and in the map results when people search for local businesses. It shows your reviews, hours, phone number, photos and directions, and for many local searches it is the first thing a customer sees, before your website.

Setup starts from $450 + GST. If your profile needs ongoing work, such as regular posts, local content and monthly reporting, that is part of our SEO service from $750 a month + GST.

It is usually one of a handful of things: the profile is unverified or half finished, the main category is wrong, your details disagree across directories, or competitors simply have more reviews. Distance matters too, which is why a Lismore search tends to show Lismore businesses first. Our check finds which ones apply to you.

A service area business can list the areas it covers, and location pages on your website help Google understand where you work. The map pack still favours businesses close to the searcher, so towns further away usually take longer and lean more on your website than your profile.

If customers don’t come to you, Google expects you to hide the address and list service areas instead. That is the right setup for most Northern Rivers trades and mobile services. We set it up correctly so you stay eligible for the map without publishing your home address.

Ask every happy customer, at the moment they are happiest, with a direct link that takes them straight to the review box. We set up the link and a simple routine for asking. Google does not allow paying or rewarding people for reviews, so we keep it straightforward.

Yes. The profile wins the click, but your website often wins the decision, and Google uses it to confirm what you do and where. Cleaning for Good has pages for Ballina, Mullumbimby, Ocean Shores and Lennox Head that give its profile something solid to point to.
