How we did it
The strategy, led by the Localsearch team
The Localsearch team reviewed directories, profiles, the website's performance, speed and security to pinpoint where Ballarat Blockages & Plumbing Group was losing ground in local search.
A new website was built to showcase the team's reliability and customer-focused approach — turning visitors into enquiries with clear service information and easy contact options.
The Localsearch Business Profile was optimised to surface Ballarat Blockages & Plumbing across more local searches, complementing the website and giving Michael a second lever for visibility.
The numbers
365 days of growth
