01 / YOUR CUSTOMER FOOTPRINT
Make your offering clear to the people you serve.
Your website should distinguish the services you provide from the wider area you can cover. We agree that scope for your Cairns business and research relevant search themes. Checks at selected locations help explain Maps performance, while useful pages give visitors a clear reason and route to enquire.

Illustrative search-check areas. Your campaign uses agreed locations within your actual coverage; these are not Mad Hat Media office locations.
02 / GOOGLE MAPS & THE LOCAL 3 PACK
RELEVANCE. DISTANCE.
PROMINENCE.
We aim to improve visibility in Google's local results, including the Maps 3 Pack. Placement depends on the query, searcher's location and competing businesses.
Understand the location.
Assess the search footprint around the real business and relevant customer areas. Distance matters; adding a service area does not move the business closer to every searcher.
Strengthen the wider presence.
Review genuine reviews, relevant links and accurate business mentions. Develop useful content and an honest review-request process as part of the agreed scope.
Google describes these local ranking factors in its local ranking guidance. There is no guaranteed position or published universal score to reach.
03 / NEAR ME & LOCATION-INFERRED SEARCH
THE CUSTOMER
DOESN'T ALWAYS TYPE A CITY.
A person may search for “plumber near me”, “dentist” or “accountant” without adding Cairns. Where a query has local intent, Google can use the location information available to it to show nearby options.
The strategy supports that local relevance through accurate business information and useful service content. We also check results from agreed locations and make the mobile route to call, book or enquire straightforward.
Results can change with the search point and query. An individual mobile search is one observation, rather than proof of the same ranking across Cairns.
04 / GOOGLE BUSINESS PROFILE MANAGEMENT
KEEP IT ACCURATE.
KEEP IT USEFUL.
Profile management connects the information customers see in Maps with the services and details on your website.
Include my Business ProfileREVIEW & CORRECT
Your real business details.
Review profile categories, contact details, address or service-area settings, opening hours and relevant services. Resolve inconsistencies within the agreed access and scope.
MANAGE & MAINTAIN
Useful, current information.
Plan genuine photos, relevant updates and review responses. Keep changed hours and service information current; activity alone is not a ranking guarantee.
MEASURE & IMPROVE
Connect visibility with actions.
Review available Business Profile performance, website search data and tracked enquiry actions. Use the findings and your feedback to set the next priorities.

A FEW FAIR QUESTIONS
LOCAL SEARCH.
CLEAR ANSWERS.
Can you guarantee a Google Maps 3 Pack ranking?
No. The aim is stronger visibility for relevant searches, but the result depends on the query, distance, competition and Google's systems. We commit to agreed work and reporting rather than a fixed position.
Is there a threshold we need to hit?
Google does not publish a universal review count, website score or page-count threshold for local rankings. We assess your relevance and competitive position at agreed search locations, then prioritise the gaps we can usefully improve.
Can customers find us without typing “Cairns”?
Yes, some queries can produce local results using the location information available to Google. We support your relevance for the services you provide, but the result varies by query and searcher location.
Does listing more service areas guarantee wider Maps visibility?
No. Your profile should accurately describe your operation. Service-area settings do not create extra premises or remove the role of distance in local results.
Do we need a separate profile for every area?
Not for every area you serve. We review the actual business model and genuine eligible locations, following Google's business representation guidelines.
What does Local SEO Cairns cost?
We quote the monthly work after reviewing your website, profile, service priorities and local competition. Any website redesign is quoted separately, with a design deposit to start and the remaining design balance paid before launch.
