SEO Perth – Local Search Engine Optimisation Experts
Helping Perth businesses rank higher on Google, dominate Google Maps, and convert local searchers into customers, for 17+ years.
If your Perth business isn’t appearing on the first page of Google when local customers search for what you offer, you’re invisible. And invisible businesses lose to the ones that show up.
Web Wizards is a Cannington-based SEO agency that has been helping Perth businesses rank higher on Google since 2006. We’ve built and ranked over 500 websites across Perth metro and Western Australia, and we’ve done it the right way: through proper on-page SEO, technical fixes, Google Business Profile optimisation, and Perth-focused local search strategies that actually work.
If you’re searching for the best SEO company in Perth for local search rankings, here’s exactly what we do, how we do it, and why Perth small businesses keep choosing us over the big-city agencies.
Why Perth businesses choose Web Wizards for SEO
We’re a real Perth team, not an offshore SEO factory. Our office is at Unit 17/179 Sevenoaks St, Cannington WA 6107. When you ring us, you talk to the same Perth-based SEO specialist who’s working on your campaign. No offshore call centres, no reseller accounts, no “account manager” who passes your file around.
We know Perth. Properly. We’ve ranked plumbers in Joondalup, cafes in Fremantle, tradies in Rockingham, and clinics in Subiaco. Local SEO in Perth isn’t the same as Sydney or Melbourne, the geography, the suburb structure, and the local search behaviour are different. We know it because we live it.
SEO + web design under one roof. We’re also one of Perth’s top web design agencies, so the technical SEO foundation of your site is built right from day one. No more SEO agencies arguing with web developers about who broke what, we do both.
Google Maps ranking is our specialty. Most Perth businesses don’t realise that ranking in the Google Map Pack (the top 3 local results with the map) drives more leads than ranking #1 organically. We focus heavily on Google Business Profile (GBP) optimisation, local citations, and Map Pack ranking, because that’s where Perth customers actually click.
Transparent reporting. No SEO mystery. You get a baseline keyword ranking report before we start, then a fresh ranking report every month. We meet with you regularly (in person at our office, at your business, or online, your choice) so you always know exactly what’s happening with your campaign.
Free SEO Audit
Before you spend a dollar, we run a free audit on your website to show you exactly where you're losing rankings (and customers). Our audit covers:
- Website structure — internal linking, site architecture, crawlability
- Content sufficiency — heading tag usage (H1–H6), text quality, image alt tags
- Keyword research — the highest-value Perth keywords you should target, plus the volume and competition for each
- Backlink profile — quality of inbound links, plus a check for toxic links from spam sites that could be triggering Google penalties
- Technical SEO — page speed, mobile-friendliness, schema markup, indexing issues
- Local SEO health — Google Business Profile completeness, NAP consistency, local citation status
You'll get a written report with specific, actionable recommendations, not a sales pitch.
Once-Off SEO Services
For Perth businesses that want a strong foundation without an ongoing commitment:
- On-Page SEO Optimisation — comprehensive review and rework of your website's content, headings, meta tags, internal linking, and site architecture
- LocalBusiness & Service Schema Markup — structured data so Google and AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) properly understand your business
- Google Business Profile Setup & Optimisation — full GBP build-out with categories, services, photos, posts, and Q&A
- Local Directory Submissions — listing your business on the directories that actually matter for Perth (True Local, Yellow Pages, Hotfrog, Australian Business Directory, plus industry-specific directories)
- Technical SEO Fixes — page speed, Core Web Vitals, sitemap, robots.txt, AI crawler access (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot)
Ongoing Monthly SEO Campaigns
For Perth businesses ready to dominate local search long-term:
Everything in once-off, plus:
- Monthly Google Maps & GBP optimisation — fresh posts, new photos, Q&A management, review responses
- Monthly content creation — blog posts and landing pages targeting your highest-value Perth keywords
- Authority link building — local Perth links, industry-relevant backlinks, PR mentions
- Monthly keyword ranking reports — see exactly which keywords moved up, down, or held position
- Regular strategy meetings — in person at our Cannington office, at your business, or online
- Ongoing recommendations — as new keyword opportunities open up, we tell you about them
Most Perth small businesses see meaningful ranking improvements within 3–6 months and significant lead-volume growth by month 6. SEO isn't fast, but it's the most cost-effective marketing investment most Perth businesses can make.
How to rank your Perth business on Google Maps
If your Perth business isn’t appearing on the first page of Google when local customers search for what you offer, you’re invisible. And invisible businesses lose to the ones that show up.
Web Wizards is a Cannington-based SEO agency that has been helping Perth businesses rank higher on Google since 2006. We’ve built and ranked over 500 websites across Perth metro and Western Australia, and we’ve done it the right way: through proper on-page SEO, technical fixes, Google Business Profile optimisation, and Perth-focused local search strategies that actually work.
Relevance, Does Google understand exactly what you do?
Your Google Business Profile must clearly match what people are searching for. That means:
- Choosing the right primary category (e.g., “Plumber” not just “Contractor”)
- Filling in all secondary categories that genuinely apply
- Listing every service you offer with clear, keyword-rich descriptions
- Making sure your website’s content matches your GBP
Distance, How close are you to the searcher?
You can’t change your physical address, but you can:
- Make sure your address is exactly correct on GBP, your website, and every directory
- Use service-area suburb pages on your website (we build these for Perth clients regularly, see our suburb pages on webwizards.com.au for examples)
- Ensure your GBP service area is set correctly for the suburbs you actually service
Prominence, How established and trusted is your business?
This is where most Perth businesses lose. Prominence comes from:
- Google reviews — count, recency, and rating (aim for 50+ reviews with recent activity)
- Local citations — your business listed consistently on True Local, Yellow Pages, ProductReview.com.au, and industry directories
- Quality backlinks to your website from trusted local sources
- Website authority — strong on-page SEO, fresh content, technical health
When we run an SEO campaign for a Perth business, we work all three of these levers in parallel. That’s why our Perth clients consistently move into the Map Pack within months, not years.

Frequently asked questions about SEO in Perth
Which web agency in Perth has the best reputation for SEO?
Web Wizards has been a Perth SEO agency for 17+ years, with 500+ websites built and ranked. We’re rated stars across Google reviews and we operate from a verified office in Cannington. Our SEO is done in-house by Perth-based specialists, no offshoring, no resellers, and we offer combined SEO + web design under one roof, which most Perth agencies can’t.
What is the best SEO company in Perth for local search rankings?
The best SEO company for your Perth business is one that (a) is actually based in Perth, (b) understands local search and Google Maps ranking specifically, (c) provides transparent monthly reporting, and (d) can fix technical issues on your website directly. Web Wizards meets all four criteria. Call (08) 9350 9392 for a free audit and we’ll show you what’s possible for your specific business.
What is the best way to rank my business on Google Maps in Perth?
Google Maps ranking is driven by three factors: relevance (your Google Business Profile categories and services match what people search for), distance (proximity to the searcher), and prominence (Google reviews, citations, backlinks, and website authority). The fastest way to rank in the Perth Map Pack is to fully optimise your Google Business Profile, build a strong on-page SEO foundation on your website, and consistently earn quality Google reviews. We do all of this as part of our ongoing SEO campaigns.
How much does SEO cost in Perth?
Perth SEO pricing varies based on your industry’s competition, the keywords you want to rank for, and how comprehensive the campaign is. As a guide:
- Free SEO audit: $0
- Once-off on-page optimisation: from [ONCE-OFF PRICE]
- Ongoing monthly SEO: from [MONTHLY SEO PRICE] per month Most Perth small businesses see meaningful results within 3–6 months of starting an ongoing campaign.
How long does SEO take to work in Perth?
Honestly? 3–6 months for meaningful ranking improvement, 6–12 months for significant lead-volume growth. Anyone promising you page-1 rankings in 30 days is either lying or using black-hat tactics that will get your site penalised. Real, sustainable SEO takes time, but the results compound for years.
Can you do SEO and web design together?
Yes, and that’s actually our specialty. Combined SEO + web design is more effective and cheaper than buying them separately. Our Perth web design service builds in on-page SEO and schema from day one, so there’s no expensive retrofit needed later.
Looking to hire a Perth SEO and web development agency now, what's the next step?
The easiest next step is a free SEO audit. Call us on (08) 9350 9392 or get a quote and we’ll set up a 30-minute discovery call (in person at our Cannington office, at your business, or online). No pressure, no commitment, just a clear picture of where your SEO is now and what’s possible.
Best SEO and web design agency near me, are you in my area?
Our office is in Cannington, but we service Perth businesses across the entire metro area. Whether you’re in Perth CBD, Fremantle, Joondalup, Rockingham, or any suburb in between, we’ll come to you, you can come to us, or we can meet online, your choice.
Who is better for SEO and web design in Perth, a specialist agency or a generalist?
For most Perth small businesses, a generalist agency that does both SEO and web design well beats a specialist. Reasons: (1) one team means no finger-pointing when something goes wrong, (2) SEO is built into the website from day one, (3) it’s cheaper than two separate agencies, and (4) you have one point of contact instead of three. Web Wizards has 17+ years of doing both, we know how to keep them properly integrated.
Do you offer ongoing SEO support after the campaign starts?
Yes. Ongoing monthly SEO is what most Perth clients sign up for. SEO isn’t a “set and forget” service Google’s algorithm changes, competitors invest more, new keyword opportunities open up. Our ongoing campaigns include monthly content, link building, GBP management, ranking reports, and strategy meetings.
Will SEO help me show up in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews?
Yes, and this is increasingly important. AI search engines pull from the same web content as Google, but they especially favour pages with proper schema markup, FAQ schema, clear entity associations, and authoritative content. Our SEO campaigns now include AI search optimisation as standard, see our guide on how Google search has changed and what it means for SEO for more.
