Local SEO & optimisation tips for small businesses
Practical actions you can take to help your site appear for local searches and convert visitors into customers.
Use location pages
Create short pages for each suburb or service area with unique copy and local keywords like “plumber in Suburb”.
Optimize meta tags
Keep titles under 60 chars and descriptions under 155 with your primary keyword and location included naturally.
Structured data
Add LocalBusiness schema so Google can show your contact details, opening hours and services directly in results.
Enable click-to-call
Make it effortless for mobile users — a single tap should call your business.
Speed & images
Compress images, use modern formats and serve via CDN to reduce load times and improve rankings.
Collect reviews
Encourage customers to review you on Google — reviews are a strong local ranking signal and conversion booster.

Slow loading pages
Large images and slow hosting frustrate visitors. Fix: use compressed images, modern formats and reliable hosting (included with Congero).
No clear call-to-action

Ignoring local SEO
