As someone who’s spent years helping Perth businesses climb the Google rankings ladder, I’ve seen firsthand what works and what doesn’t. Today, I want to share some proven strategies that have helped my clients achieve remarkable results.

The Perth Success Stories That Shaped My Approach

Let me start with a real story that perfectly shows what’s possible. When Principal Pools + Landscapes first came to us, their website barely made it past page two on Google. Fast forward to today, and they’ve seen a 409% increase in organic traffic. How did we do it? Through careful attention to what actually matters for local rankings.

“Our ranking has always been very good and Peter and his team have worked diligently in the background to ensure our website is first class, functional and has a good presence online,” shares Cullen Long, Director at Principal Pools + Landscapes.

By Peter Brittain on March 7, 2021 in Local SEO

Unless you are trying to rank a website for a business that operates purely online, or if it’s a business that competes on a national or international scale, the ability to rank your business website for local search terms is vitally important. If you are a local business and not focusing on SEO that helps you appear on page one of Google for local searches, then you are losing lots of customers to local business competitors who are.

There are several actions you can take which will ensure that your local business’s website can compete with, and ideally, outrank your competitors, provided they are done correctly.

Below we have 7 of the most important ranking factors which Google look for when assessing local websites in its search engine results. Many of these can be implemented quickly and easily, while some may take a bit more time and effort.

How SEO Can Help Small Businesses Compete on Google Search

By Peter Brittain on January 15, 2020 in Local SEO

It is an obvious fact that small businesses do not have the financial resources of large national and international companies and that means that their marketing budgets are going to be much smaller too. This might suggest that the chances of smaller businesses being able to compete on Google for search traffic are slim, but thanks to SEO, that is not the case.

The first fact we need to outline is that when it comes to Google’s ranking algorithms it does not know how big a company is, how much profit it makes or how big its marketing budget is. When crawling that company’s website and analysing everything else that contributes to ranking the currency isn’t cents and dollars, it is links and optimisation.
