Most homeowners search "hardwood floor installer near me" or "floor sanding [suburb]" when they need work. Ranking in local search and Google Maps drives the highest-quality leads — people ready to book site visits and get quotes.
Appearing in Google Maps and the local pack puts your phone number and reviews in front of buyers instantly — often before they click a website.
Local searches show transactional intent. Optimisation helps your team turn searches into booked floor assessments and installs.
Local SEO is cost-effective: once the site and GBP are set up, organic traffic produces leads without ongoing ad spend.
Run this short audit to identify immediate fixes that typically lift traffic and enquiries fast.
Congero builds SEO-optimised websites in 60 seconds and includes local SEO features in every plan.
Mix high-intent service keywords with local modifiers and informational queries to capture both ready-to-buy customers and people researching options.
Tip: Build dedicated service-area pages (e.g. “Hardwood floor installers in [Suburb]”) and include local landmarks, suburbs served and example projects — this helps you rank for many nearby searches without keyword stuffing.
Use these practical on-page tactics across your website to target keywords and improve click-through rates from search results.
Include primary keyword + location early. Keep titles under 60 characters and meta descriptions under 155 characters with a clear call to action (Get a free quote, Book a site visit).
Use an H1 for page focus (e.g. Hardwood Floor Installation in [City]), H2s for services, and H3s for features and FAQs.
Create separate pages for Installation, Sanding & Refinishing, Repairs & Restoration and Flooring Types (solid, engineered). Each page should target 1–2 primary keywords and include local signals.
Use project photos with descriptive alt text (e.g. "oak hardwood floor installation Bondi"). Compress images for speed and show before/after galleries to increase engagement.
Clear CTAs: Request quote, Book on-site measure, Call now. Add badges, licenses, and warranty information to increase conversions.
Implement LocalBusiness and Service schema with serviceArea, acceptedPaymentMethod, and openingHours to improve rich results.
Congero auto-generates on-page SEO, schema and meta tags so your site is ready to rank from day one.
Your Google Business Profile (GBP) is the single most important asset for local leads. Treat it like your digital storefront.
Ensure your NAP appears the same across major directories: Yellow Pages, TrueLocal, LocalSearch, Houzz, Hipages and industry-specific sites. Consistent citations reduce confusion and help Maps ranking.
Pro tip: Focus on quality directories relevant to home improvement and your city.
Reviews build trust fast. A steady flow of recent, local reviews can push you ahead of competitors with similar services.
Request reviews after a successful install or when the client expresses satisfaction. Provide a quick link to your GBP review form.
Send a short SMS with a direct review link, or include a review CTA on your invoice and follow-up emails.
Reply to positive reviews with a thank you and to negative reviews with an offer to resolve the issue — this shows professionalism to potential customers.
Create helpful content that answers homeowner questions and showcases your best work — Google rewards helpful, local content.
Before & after photos, client brief, solutions and materials used. Name the suburb to help local search.
Topics like “How to prepare your home for floor sanding” or “Choosing the right timber for coastal homes”.
Transparent cost guides and typical timelines reduce friction and increase conversions from organic visitors.
Content cadence: publish 1–2 helpful local posts per month. Over time these pages rank for long-tail queries and feed your social channels and GBP posts.
Earn links from local suppliers, interior designers, builders and suppliers — not spammy directories.
Know which pages drive enquiries, where leads come from and how search performance changes month-to-month.
Impressions, clicks, average position (Search Console), organic leads, phone calls and form submissions.
Set up call tracking or use click-to-call events in Google Analytics to measure which keywords produce phone enquiries.
Review top-performing pages, update content and chase missing reviews every month to keep momentum.
