Get found for the work you want to do.
You know the jobs that suit your business. Your website should make them just as clear to the people looking for you.
I help service businesses connect their website, Google Business Profile and search visibility with the enquiries they can confidently quote. Based in Nambour, I work directly with you on the priorities, the changes and the checks.
A useful place to start
For a cleaner, landscaper, tradesperson or other business that travels to customers, local SEO starts with a practical choice: which work is worth being found for? You might want recurring work, larger projects, a particular service or jobs closer together.
I use that brief alongside your existing pages and available search data. A broad phrase such as “services on the Sunshine Coast” rarely explains enough on its own. Customers need to recognise their job, confirm you cover their location and understand what you need to prepare a quote.
This is a focused part of my Sunshine Coast SEO service. It suits an existing website that needs clearer local targeting, as well as a business planning its first proper service pages.
From search to a suitable job
A customer searching for a regular office clean needs different information from someone organising a one-off house clean. Those differences should shape the pages, the photographs and the enquiry form.
Describe what is included, who it suits, common variations, what affects the quote and how to prepare. Use the words customers use, with enough detail to answer the obvious follow-up questions. I can improve existing copy through on-page SEO and service-content optimisation.
Explain the area you actually serve and any practical limits. If a small job is only viable near your base, while larger projects justify more travel, explain that accurately. Useful local detail can include access requirements, scheduling or relevant completed work where you have permission to share it.
A customer should be able to enquire on a phone without hunting for the next step. Ask for the service, location and the few details that affect suitability. Check the submission and delivery route before treating a quiet inbox as a traffic problem. My website enquiry guide explains that review.
A worked example
Imagine a Sunshine Coast cleaning business that wants recurring office work and selected end-of-lease jobs. The structure below shows how I would separate those customer decisions.
Illustrative planning example, not a client case study or a promise of results.
| Customer decision | Page and information needed | Useful enquiry details |
|---|---|---|
| “Can you clean our office regularly?” | A dedicated office-cleaning page explaining frequency, access arrangements, inclusions and the process for assessing the premises. | Suburb, premises type, approximate size, preferred frequency and access times. |
| “Can you clean this home before handover?” | An end-of-lease service page explaining scope, exclusions, property condition, timing and how the quote is confirmed. | Suburb, property size, condition, requested date and any additional services. |
| “Do you travel to my area?” | Clear coverage on both service pages, with a regional overview if it helps. A separate local page only where there is substantial, distinct information to provide. | Property location and the service required, so the business can confirm suitability. |
Google Maps and your website
Some customers will first see a Google Maps listing. Others will land directly on a service page. The name, contact details, services and coverage should agree, whichever route they take.
Google says local results depend mainly on relevance, distance and popularity. Your business cannot choose where every searcher is standing. Accurate information and useful website content are practical things we can work on. Read Google’s local-ranking guidance.
If you visit customers and do not serve them at your business address, Google’s guidance is to remove that address from the profile and use an appropriate service area. Adding service areas is not a promise of rankings in each one. Check the service-area guidance.
SEO and AI search visibility
A customer might ask an AI search tool a detailed question before visiting a website. Your content should give a clear account of the work you do, where you do it and the information a customer needs to decide.
For Google’s AI search experiences, its current guidance continues to emphasise useful original content and established SEO practices. It does not require special AI schema. Read Google’s AI-search guidance.
A useful service explanation includes the circumstances that change the answer: the job type, location, access, preparation or service boundaries. An approved project example can show how those decisions work in practice.
I would make those details clear in normal page content, alongside your identity, contact route and relevant links. Accurate structured data can describe the same information. It should reflect what customers can actually read.
For ChatGPT search, OpenAI identifies OAI-SearchBot as its search crawler and recommends permitting it through robots.txt and the host or CDN. That is separate from the GPTBot training crawler. Access checks improve eligibility; they do not guarantee a citation. See OpenAI’s crawler documentation.
Working directly with me
I bring the search review and the implementation together. You can see the pages involved, the reason for each change and what has been checked.
Your services, coverage, existing pages, available Search Console data, business profile and enquiry route establish the brief.
I identify which pages deserve attention and whether the priority is content, technical access, local information or the customer journey.
I can work with static HTML, WordPress and Elementor. The scope includes the appropriate link, mobile, metadata and published-page checks.
We compare relevant search data and available enquiry evidence, then decide what needs attention next.
See examples of my website work, or compare the options on my service-pricing page. The quote is based on the actual work and access required.
Measure what matters
I would review the services and locations attracting interest, the pages people reach, and what happens when they contact you. Search impressions, clicks, form submissions and booked jobs are different measures.
A simple enquiry record can note the requested service, area, suitability, whether a quote was sent and the eventual outcome. That feedback helps explain whether a page needs clearer targeting or a better next step.
For AI visibility, available referral visits and observed citations can add context. A citation does not necessarily produce a visit, and a visit does not establish that a job was booked. I report those observations separately.
Questions before we start
Yes. The starting point is the services you want to promote, the customers they suit and the areas you can serve well. I use that brief to review the existing pages and available search data. The content and enquiry route can then explain those jobs clearly, including the details needed to assess a request.
Yes. A business that visits customers can explain its services and genuine coverage on its website. An eligible service-area business can also use a Google Business Profile. If customers are not served at the business address, Google says to remove that address from the profile and use an appropriate service area. Eligibility and profile settings should be checked against Google’s current guidance.
No. A separate location page needs substantial information that helps a customer in that area: relevant work, service arrangements or another real difference. If the page would only repeat existing content with a new suburb name, I would strengthen the existing service and coverage information first.
Yes. I review the existing structure, content, search visibility and enquiry route before recommending changes. I work with static HTML, WordPress and Elementor. The scope might be a focused set of page improvements; a rebuild is a separate decision based on the condition of the site.
No provider can guarantee an AI recommendation or citation. Clear business information, original service detail and appropriate search-crawler access help establish a sound starting point. I distinguish the work completed from observed AI citations, referral visits and enquiries when reviewing progress.
Send your website address, the services you want more enquiries for, your actual service area and what a suitable job looks like. Your Google Business Profile link and any available Search Console data can help. I will review that starting point before proposing the pages, tasks and access needed.
