From invisible to #1 in just 3 months!
When Battery Zone Frankston came to us, they had no Google Business presence and zero local visibility. Fast forward just 3 months, and they’re now ranking #1 on Google Maps for key local searches like:
- "Car batteries Frankston"
- "Battery replacement near me"
- "Battery store Frankston"
We built and optimised their Google Business Profile from scratch — refining categories, writing keyword-rich descriptions, adding photos, and guiding them on how to generate reviews. Combined with strategic local SEO, they’re now dominating their niche and getting calls and walk-ins daily.
