Optimise for Local SEO

Ensure your website is optimised for local search engine optimisation (SEO). This involves incorporation of relevant keywords with local intent. Another factor is optimisation of your Google Business Profile listing (formerly known as Google My Business), through providing accurate and up-to-date information (i.e. business location and operating hours). Posting on the page, updating images regularly and displaying reviews will also be crucial for SEO. These tactics will help improve your visibility in local search results and create ease for Western Australian residents to find your business online.

Get Involved in Local Events and Sponsorships

Increasing your presence in local events, festivals, and community gatherings in Perth or your local region will enhance brand recognition. Sponsorship or participation in these events will help raise awareness of your brand among local residents and businesses. It also provides an opportunity for face-to-face interaction with potential customers and allows you to build relationships within the community.

Monitoring Competitor Strategies

Identifying marketing approaches of competitors in the greater Perth region will unveil areas where you can differentiate yourself or uncover new opportunities to capitalise upon. This could entail investigating their advertising campaigns, social media presence, content marketing efforts, pricing strategies, and overall brand positioning.
