How I approach it
Google Business Profile
Fully optimised, categorised and posted to so the profile keeps earning clicks.
Review engine
A simple process to keep genuine five-star reviews coming in and answered.
Suburb coverage
Location pages that match how locals search, without thin duplicate content.
What you get
Townsville
Local SEO for Townsville businesses
Townsville map results are won suburb by suburb. A Google Business Profile with the right primary category, a service area that matches where you really work, real photos and a steady flow of genuine reviews gives you the best chance in Garbutt, Kirwan, Aitkenvale and beyond. I'm based in Cairns and work with Townsville businesses directly, in person where it's practical or over video.

Common questions
What is the map pack?
The block of three local businesses with a map that appears at the top of Google for local searches. It captures most calls and direction requests.
Do I need a shopfront to rank locally?
No. Service area businesses can rank across the suburbs they travel to, with the profile set up correctly.
How many reviews do I need?
There is no fixed number. Steady, genuine, recent reviews with replies matter more than one big batch.
Which suburbs do you cover?
Cairns, Edmonton, Smithfield, Trinity Beach, Palm Cove, Gordonvale, Port Douglas, the Tablelands, the Cassowary Coast and Townsville.
How long does local SEO take?
Profile fixes can move rankings within weeks. Competitive suburb rankings build over a few months.
