Searchmaxxed is an SEO agency and GEO agency helping businesses compete for Google rankings and ChatGPT recommendations. It combines website optimisation, content and third-party source coverage in one search strategy, focused on the searches and AI answers that can lead to customer enquiries.
Local SEO gets a business into Google's map results and local searches such as "plumber near me". The work centres on the Google Business Profile, reviews, local pages and consistent business details across directories.
It completes and maintains the Google Business Profile, builds suburb and service pages, fixes business details across directories and helps the business earn more reviews.
It depends on competition and where your site starts. Ask each agency for a dated result from a client in a similar market.
No agency controls Google or AI engines, so a guaranteed position is a warning sign. Ask which measures they will report each month instead.
Track clicks, enquiries and sales from the channel in your analytics, against the measures agreed at the start.

Payment does not change an agency's Google-review score. Searchmaxxed owns this directory and occupies the first advertising position, labelled Ad · Publisher. Other agencies are listed free and ordered by the published score.
