Create dedicated pages for each service with: H1, short intro, bullet benefits, project gallery, FAQ and call-to-action. Use location in the H1 and title.
Example H1: Deck builder & carpenter in Bondi — Deck installation & repairs
Showcase reviews per project and reply to each review. New positive reviews boost GBP ranking and conversion rates.
Pro tip: Add a "Recent Reviews" section on your homepage and service pages.
Compress images, use descriptive filenames and ALT tags (e.g. 'custom-deck-bondi-before-after.jpg'). Fast-loading images improve mobile rankings.
Create short landing pages for each suburb you serve with local keywords, a map and 3-5 local project examples.
Add LocalBusiness schema and Service schema to help Google show rich snippets (opening hours, price range, services offered).
Partner with supply shops, estate agents and builders for referral links or resource pages that link back to your service pages.
A short example of focused local SEO and site improvements that produced real calls and jobs.
Carpentry business in Melbourne had few reviews, generic homepage and no distinct service pages. They relied on word of mouth and sporadic directory listings.
Short answers to the questions carpenters ask most about SEO and local marketing.
Local improvements like GBP optimisation and adding reviews can boost visibility in weeks. Organic ranking gains for competitive keywords typically take 2–6 months depending on competition.
Not always. Quality service pages, project galleries and reviews often deliver the best ROI for carpenters. Blog posts help when targeting informational searches (e.g. "how to choose decking timber").
Paid ads deliver instant leads but cost-per-lead can be high. SEO is cost-effective long-term and builds trust — a balanced approach works best for growing carpentry businesses.
