Most flooring customers start with a search — "hardwood floors near me", "vinyl flooring installers [suburb]" or "floor sanding cost". Targeted local SEO turns those searches into calls, showroom visits and booked jobs.
Optimising for local intent (city, suburb, "near me") puts your business in front of buyers ready to purchase or book a measure.
Organic search leads are consistently cheaper and more sustainable than paid ads when pages are properly optimised.
From showroom sales to on-site sanding, repairs and commercial flooring, SEO helps each service generate targeted enquiries.
Follow these steps to build local search visibility and a predictable pipeline of enquiries.
Start with service + intent keywords and local modifiers. Prioritise commercial value and search volume.
Create separate pages for primary services and targeted location landing pages for suburbs/regions you serve.
Example structure:
Use predictable templates so every page is optimised and easy for your team to scale.
Title template: [Service] in [Location] | [Business Name]
Meta description template: Need [service] in [location]? Trusted local installers with X+ reviews. Free quote in 24 hours — call [phone].
URL slug: /services/[service-slug]
Before/after photos of completed jobs are conversion gold. Add project details: materials used, time, cost range, and testimonials.
GBP drives local clicks and calls. Complete every field and publish regular posts and photos.
Aim for a simple review funnel: request reviews after job completion and respond to every review.
Templates: "Thanks for choosing us — if you loved the job, please leave a review at [Google review link]." Include step-by-step instructions for less tech-savvy customers.
Build relevant local links to increase domain authority: suppliers, trade associations, local business directories and project partners.
Site speed and mobile UX affect ranking and conversions. Key items:
Track phone calls, form submissions and lead sources. Review analytics monthly and double down on top-performing pages.
Set goals: increase organic calls by X% in 3 months, rank in top 3 for 5 target keywords.
Plan content around homeowner intent and seasonality: spring refinishing, winter floor care tips, holiday promotions.
Content ideas: cost calculators, maintenance guides, "best flooring for pets" comparisons, and video walkthroughs of a full job.
