How We Ranked Top 3 on Google Maps in Perth in 9 Days

When we launched Syvex we started at position 14 on Google Maps for "website designer" in Perth. Within 9 days we were sitting 3rd with over 49% market share. No paid ads. No black hat tricks. Just the fundamentals done properly.

Here's exactly what we did.

Step 1: GBP Optimisation

Your Google Business Profile is the foundation of local SEO. We updated every field - business description loaded with keywords, correct categories, service areas covering all Perth suburbs, photos added, and posts going out regularly.

Step 2: Website Content

We made sure our homepage H1 and H2 were targeting the right keywords. "Website Designer Perth" in the title, meta description updated, and content on the page matching what people are actually searching for.

Step 3: Areas We Serve Page

We built a dedicated Areas We Serve page covering every Perth suburb we service. 600+ words of location specific content. This alone moved our rankings significantly.

Step 4: Google Search Console

Every updated page was submitted to GSC for immediate indexing. Don't wait for Google to find your changes - tell it directly.

The Result

April 17th: Position 14, almost entirely red heatmap. April 26th: Position 3rd, green zone spreading across the northern corridor.
