Local Seo Specialist Needed – Website Optimised but Not Ranking on Google (Brisbane)

Published on the January 07, 2026 in IT & Programming

About this project

Open

I’m looking for an experienced Local SEO specialist to help my website start ranking on Google for Brisbane-based photography services.

The website has already gone through a full on-page SEO process, including:

Images fully compressed and optimised

Image file names cleaned and SEO-friendly

Alt tags properly added across the site

Clear H1/H2 structure per service page

Dedicated landing pages for each service (event, wedding, headshots, commercial)

Current situation

Business location: Brisbane, Australia

Industry: Photography (local service business)

Google Business Profile:

Verified

39 five-star reviews

Active and complete

Google Search Console:

Pages indexed

Already receiving impressions

Average position around page 3–4

The issue is ranking visibility, not site setup.

Sitemap, robots.txt, and indexing all confirmed working

Despite this, the website still does not show up prominently on Google for relevant local searches.

This means:

❌ This is not an on-page seo or technical seo task

❌ i’m not looking for blog writing or keyword stuffing

✅ i need help with authority, local seo, and ranking signals

what i need help with

i’m looking for support with off-page and local seo, such as:

local backlinks (brisbane / australia relevant only)

citations and local authority building

strategy to push priority service pages into page 1–2

aligning google business profile with the right landing pages

clear, ethical tactics that work for competitive local markets

no pbns, no spam links, no automated seo packages.
