Your customers are searching right now β€” are you showing up?

When someone types 'plumber near me' or asks Google AI 'who's the best dentist in Sydney' β€” the business that appears first wins. That business should be yours.

Local SEO is the practice of optimising your online presence so that people searching for your service in your area find you first. This means your Google Business Profile, your local citations, your on-page content, your reviews and increasingly your presence in AI-generated answers.

HOI's Local SEO service covers every layer β€” from your Google Maps listing to the schema markup that tells AI assistants where you're located and what you do. Most local businesses are leaving a significant amount of revenue on the table simply because they're not visible. We fix that, systematically.

Local SEO + GBP Optimisation

Common questions.

How long does Local SEO take to show results?

Most clients see Google Maps movement within 4–6 weeks of GBP optimisation. Organic search rankings typically show meaningful progress at 60–90 days.

Do I need a website for Local SEO?

A website helps significantly β€” especially for suburb landing pages and on-page signals. GBP optimisation alone drives results even without a website.

How is Local SEO different from regular SEO?

Local SEO targets searches with local intent β€” 'near me', suburb names, city-specific queries. It prioritises Google Maps and GBP over national organic rankings.

Which markets do you serve?

We manage Local SEO for businesses across Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom.
