Brisbane customers search by suburb, not by city. I build the service and suburb visibility that gets your business found across the Northside, Southside, Bayside and out through Ipswich and Logan — quoted to your market, with no lock-in contract.
Brisbane is one of the most spread-out capitals in the country, and people search accordingly. Someone in Chermside rarely searches for a business 'in Brisbane' — they search for an electrician in Chermside, a physio in Kedron, a cleaner in Aspley. Ranking for 'Brisbane' alone leaves most of that demand on the table, and ranking for a suburb list you don't genuinely service just gets those pages ignored.
The Brisbane market also splits along the river and along the corridors. Northside businesses compete with a different set of operators to Southside ones, and Bayside, Ipswich and Logan are practically separate markets again. That means the work is about choosing the areas you can realistically win, backing each one with a page worth reading, and making your Google Business Profile service area line up with them.
Brisbane competition sits in an interesting middle ground: harder than regional Queensland, noticeably softer than Sydney and Melbourne in most trades and service industries. For a lot of Brisbane businesses that means genuine first-page positions are achievable within months rather than years, provided the basics are actually done rather than half done.
Suburb-level targeting that holds up
Real pages for the areas you cover — Northside, Southside, Bayside, western corridor — each with local detail, not the same paragraph with the suburb name swapped.
Map pack visibility across Brisbane
Your Google Business Profile service area, categories and services set to match how Brisbane customers search, so you appear in the map results across the suburbs that matter.
Service pages that compete
Most Brisbane sites list services as a few bullet points. Individual, properly written service pages are usually the single biggest ranking gain available.
Reviews that move the needle
Brisbane's map pack is heavily review-driven. A simple, consistent way to ask for reviews changes both your rankings and how many people call you.
SEO pricing
What Brisbane SEO includes, and how it's priced
SEO is a separate service from my website packages, and it's quoted individually — because the work needed depends entirely on your competition and the searches you want to win.

Priced on your market and competition
No lock-in contract — cancel anytime
Every business competes in a different market, so SEO is quoted individually. Mike reviews your website, your competitors and the searches you want to win, then recommends a strategy with a clear price.
SEO is separate from the $45/week website service. You can take SEO on its own, or add it to a website Mike builds and manages.
How it works
How I run SEO for Brisbane businesses
1. Brisbane market review
I check who currently ranks for your services in your part of Brisbane — north, south, bay or west — and how strong they really are, then audit your own site and profile against them.
2. Suburb and service plan
We agree which Brisbane suburbs and services to target first, based on where your work already comes from and where the gaps are.
3. On-page and technical work
Service pages, Brisbane area pages, titles, headings, internal links, speed and indexing all worked through in order of impact.
4. Google Business Profile and local signals
Profile categories, services, service areas, photos and posts optimised for Brisbane searches, with consistent business details across the web.
5. Monitor and expand
Once your core suburbs are holding, we extend into neighbouring areas one at a time rather than all at once.
Local market
Brisbane areas I build visibility for
Brisbane's size means most businesses genuinely serve a slice of it rather than all of it. The plan starts with the areas you can service well and grows from there.
Ipswich and Logan are treated as their own markets rather than being lumped in with Brisbane, because their search competition and customer behaviour are noticeably different.
