Google Business Profile Optimisation
What is the process for optimising a local Google Business Profile?
This is an important part of your SEO campaign as it helps increase your business’s visibility, attract more customers, and build credibility. Find out how we can improve your business’s local visibility on the Gold Coast.
01
Google Business Profile Improvements
An optimised GMB (Google My Business) Profile is crucial for local businesses. Make sure your profile is thoroughly completed and up-to-date with recent business activity, and accurate business information, including address, contact details, and operating hours, is key.
This will require updating whenever any of these key details change in your business. When doing this, utilising relevant local SEO keywords, such as “top electrician in Gold Coast” or “plumber nearby,” can significantly enhance your local search visibility.
02
Local Keywords and Content
The content posted on your Google Business Profile should be tailored to your local customer base, in this case, Gold Coast. Use localised keywords, phrases, and search terms that your potential customers in the local Gold Coast area would be using to find your services or products.
These may include (and generally do) suburb names, local landmarks and popular localised terms. Be specific! Showing up for these terms that are highly relevant can have a great improvement in your local search results.
03
Customer Product & Service Reviews
Generating positive reviews for your business in your GMB is vital for local SEO success.
Encourage your customers to leave reviews for your business detailing their experience with your business or organisation.
Make sure to respond to these reviews!
You can also learn from your customers’ feedback, which can help you improve internal processes and deliverables.
04
Google My Business Posts
Google My Business profiles also have the ability to submit posts… and you should consider doing this regularly.
Use these posts to share news about your business, special offers, promotions or events. This not only keeps your profile active but also engages new and existing customers and improves your profileās visibility in local Gold Coast searches.
05
Website
Integration
Make sure your Google Business Profile includes a link to your business website.
Along with social profiles (Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin etc.)
Here’s the rewritten text:
This helps potential customers by guiding them to your website, where you can provide them with more information about your services or products. This gives you a better opportunity to convert users, as you can provide them with offers and multiple ways to reach out.
Our Local SEO
Our Local SEO campaigns all follow best practice strategies, aligning with recent search engine algorithm updates and Googles search guidelines. At Digital Nomads HQ, we are at the forefront of strategy and local campaign development with our SEO campaigns.

This helps increase trust, credibility, and your local search rankings!
Yes, that’s rightā¦ Google reviews will help improve your local search rankings.
We can work with your businesses, providing proven review strategies to improve your collection success by your loyal customers.

Why not choose another
SEO agency?

Why does my business need an SEO company?
It’s a very common question we frequently answer from clients is, āWhy do I need SEO?ā
āCanāt I just run Google ads?”
And while, yes,
Google advertising and meta-marketing can be fantastic lead-generation platforms and, in most cases, can provide the result in a matter of days,
However, SEO is about compound returns and long-term success.
Example: Turn ads on, and leads start flowing. Turn your ads off, and the tap stops.
SEO differs in that by focusing on organic rankings; you can rank for key terms customers search for. With a comprehensive strategy and clever content, we can help you attain top positions for competitive industry terms.industry.
Why is SEO Important?
A common question that we get asked… “Why is SEO important, or Why do I need to do SEO?”
The answer isn’t necessarily a simple one.Ā
SEO in most cases is a “no brainer” to invest into, with plenty of high-intent search traffic and keywords that are easy to obtain (low keyword difficulty) investing even just a small amount in a monthly campaign can very quickly provide a return…. and not just a return for a month or two… but long term compounding returns.
One statistic is that small businesses that invest in SEO, can see an average of 30%+ traffic increase within four months.
Now, yes the opposite can be true.
Low search volumes, with very hard-to-obtain keywords, may make you reconsider investing in an SEO campaign. This is why we always want to conduct an audit of your website, competitors & market opportunity prior to recommending any investment.
Will SEO work for my Gold Coast business?
Yes, and our results show this!
SEO and Local SEO can work for almost every business, and the results we see across Gold Coast for local companies are a great example of this (Just see our case studies).
How do search engines determine website rankings?
Search engines take into account a number of factors and signals – and these change all the time.
Overall, search engines monitor the words of your query, the relevance of your content, the usability of the website as a whole and the credibility of your referring links.
The top 3 ranking factors from SEMrush in 2024 are;
Text relevancy, Domain Traffic & URL Traffic.
These are closely followed up by referring domains & link building… This is why our local SEO campaigns focus in these areas.
How do we measure the success of your SEO campaign?
There are many ways to measure the success of your SEO campaign.
As an agency, we measure your keyword positions, organic traffic & page conversions from organic sources.
This allows us to attribute conversions to the increased organic traffic our campaigns generate your website.
Ā
SEO vs Google Ads, which is the best option?
Together in a collaborative marketing strategy is the best result.
Key Point: Google Ads are fantastic to drive fast, intent driven leads, especially when implemented by an agency or professional. Meanwhile, SEO is the way to go when it comes to building long-term success, authority, and brand viability.
