You might have even tried your hand at creating a business profile on search engines like Google.

Harness the Power of Your Google Business Listing – Now Google Business Profile
Local businesses, both large and small, have the ability to create a business profile directly on search engines. Here’s an example of what they look like on Google:
Service-based businesses targeting a specific area can benefit from having such a listing just as much as national businesses with multiple office locations can.
The key to it driving new business to your doorstep is about more than just creating the profile though.
Without taking the next step and optimising the listing, Google can struggle to identify what your business does and what searches it should rank your listing for. If you meet Google halfway by completing research into what your ideal customers search for and then optimise your listing for those terms, you’ll be able to have a competitive edge over other businesses in your area.
That’s where Local SEO on the Gold Coast comes in. As a company that focuses on revenue generating Local SEO for our clients, our goal is to get our client’s business listings appearing in the top three results of the box with the maps to drive more calls to their business and visits to the website.
We can take care of doing the research and optimising your listing on an ongoing basis. We focus on delivering a high ROI so that you can grow your business in your ideal local area using marketing methods that work.
So What Are Local SEO Services Gold Coast?
It’s really just about leaving your mark on the local maps.
If you’re anything like the business owners we work with, then you’ll agree that life would be so much easier if you could fill your work diary up with jobs around 10-15km from your location.
You could squeeze in more back to back jobs, make more of your work hours billable and cut out the time you spend in traffic between jobs.
Local SEO is the art and science of getting your business showing up in the maps box of search results. That means, when someone in your target area searches for your services online, you want to appear in the top 3 results, right on the map.
Here’s an example of how Digital Surfer achieves this on the Gold Coast.
As you can see, there are only 3 spots in the box here, so ideally you want your business showing in one of these for each of your target areas and services.
Let’s chat if you’re interested in placing your business on the local maps.
Local SEO Case Study
What’s the difference between Organic SEO & Local SEO?
We don’t blame you if you don’t know the difference between these. What makes it trickier is that the name only partly hints at their difference.
You can implement a local strategy within an organic SEO or ecommerce SEO campaign and it would look totally different to a Local SEO-specific campaign.
The difference comes down to where you would like to be found in search results. A maps pack shows for searches that make search engines think that the person is looking for a business local to them.
For example “SEO company Gold Coast” is one such search. If you’re a local business, these are the critical searches you need to show up for.
As a service, the core differences are:
Local SEO
Only focuses on ranking in the maps
Some website changes
Some content production
Some technical SEO implementation
Organic SEO
Full-scale service focussing on website
Targets organic search results, under the map
Increased website content
Higher focus on technical elements and linkbuilding
At Digital Surfer, were committed to producing real results for local businesses and also include Local SEO optimisation in our organic SEO campaigns as it is an essential aspect to succeeding online.
With our organic SEO services, our team goes one step further and also optimise your website to get you ranking in the listings below the maps as well, just as we have with the Workcover lawyer whose results you can see in the image. We can also coordinate paid ads to maximise your visibility on Google.
