Answer the question in the words it gets asked.

People search what's happening to them before they ring anyone. The page that answers it, in their words, is the one Google can quote.

Questions owners ask

What actually moves a local ranking in southeast Melbourne?

A complete and current Google Business Profile, a service area that matches where the business genuinely goes, recent reviews, and pages answering the questions people in that suburb actually type.

How long does local SEO take?

Months, not weeks. A Business Profile can improve within a fortnight; rankings and mentions in Google's answers move on their own timetable, so Chad Scales doesn't promise them.

How do you get named in Google's AI Overview for a local search?

By publishing a page that answers the exact question in the words it's asked, because Google builds that answer from pages it can read. More on AI search optimisation.

Does a local business need a separate page for every suburb?

No. A suburb page earns its place when there's something true to say about that suburb. Six copies of one page with the suburb swapped tell a customer nothing.

What is the difference between local SEO and SEO?

Local SEO is about the map pack and your Google Business Profile, for people searching near them. SEO is about your website: whether Google can read it, which questions it answers, and whether visits turn into enquiries.

Yes. Chad Scales is based in southeast Melbourne and works with businesses across Australia.
