Google Business Profile, on-page fixes, technical checks and a weekly report, from Greenshoots in Bateau Bay.
Local SEO on the Central Coast is mostly the basics done properly: a complete Google Business Profile, pages that say clearly what you do and where, and a site Google can crawl without tripping over. Greenshoots does that work from Bateau Bay, for businesses on the Coast and small businesses anywhere in Australia. SEO is an add-on you bundle on top of $30/mo managed hosting - $100 per hour per month, choose 1, 2 or 3+ hours. Plain-English, no jargon, no lock-in on monthly plans.

On-Page Optimisation
We fix the basics that matter - page titles, meta descriptions and headings - so Google understands what each page is about.
Internal Linking & Structure
We connect your pages sensibly so visitors and search engines can find their way around - and your best pages get the credit they deserve.
Monthly Reporting & Check-In
Every month you get a plain-English report on what we did and how things are tracking - plus a quick check-in. No mystery, no spin.
No Lock-In on Monthly
Start with 1 hour a month and scale up as you grow - upgrades kick in straight away, and scaling back applies from your next billing period. Monthly is rolling with 14 days notice.
Based in Bateau Bay
Greenshoots opened in February 2019 and is based in Bateau Bay on the Central Coast, NSW. Plain English and straight answers about local search, not an overseas content mill.
Local SEO for small business, step by step
There is no secret trick. Local SEO is a short list of jobs done carefully and then kept up. This is the work, in the order we do it.
1. Google Business Profile optimisation
We go through your profile category, services, hours, service area, photos and description, fill in what is missing and keep it current. The profile is what shows in Google Maps and the local results, so it comes first.
2. On-page fixes
Each important page gets one clear job. A title and description written for the search it should answer, sensible headings, and copy that says what you do and where you do it.
3. Technical checks
Crawling and indexing, sitemaps, canonical tags, structured data, page speed and mobile layout. The same kinds of checks our free SEO audit runs, followed by the fixes.
4. A weekly report with Google Search data
Every site on Greenshoots managed hosting gets a weekly email report and a client portal, including Google Search data. You can see how the site is tracking in Google without logging in to anything technical.
SEO can only do so much for a site that is slow or hard to use. If yours needs rebuilding first, look at web design on the Central Coast with Greenshoots, or start with the free website SEO check to see where you stand today.

Frequently Asked Questions
Honest answers to the questions we hear most about SEO.
What's included in the SEO add-on?
SEO work covers on-page optimisation (page titles, meta descriptions and headings), internal linking and site structure, Google Business Profile setup and management, and a monthly report with a check-in. It's $100/hour per month - choose 1, 2 or 3+ hours when you build your bundle.
How long until I see results?
SEO is a long game. Local fixes like your Google Business Profile can show up within weeks, but ranking improvements for competitive searches usually take three to six months of steady work. We report progress every month so you can see what's moving.
Do you guarantee #1 rankings on Google?
No - and be wary of anyone who does. Nobody controls Google's algorithm, so guaranteed #1 rankings simply aren't real. What we do is the proven on-page, local and structural work that gives your site the best chance to rank, and we report honestly on the results.
What is a Google Business Profile?
Your Google Business Profile is the free listing that shows up in Google Maps and local search - your name, hours, photos, reviews and contact details. For local businesses it's one of the biggest drivers of calls and visits, so we set it up properly and keep it current.
Do you only do SEO for Central Coast businesses?
No. Greenshoots is based in Bateau Bay and does local SEO on the Central Coast, and the same work for small businesses anywhere in Australia. Local SEO is about the area your customers search in, wherever that happens to be.
What will I see each week?
Every site on our managed hosting gets a weekly email report and access to a client portal, including Google Search data. On top of that, the SEO add-on comes with a monthly report on the work done and a check-in.
Can I change how many SEO hours I have?
Yes. Start with 1 hour a month and move to 2 or 3+ as you grow - upgrades apply straight away, and dialling back takes effect from your next billing period. SEO is $100/hour per month and sits on top of your $30/mo Managed Hosting.
Is there a lock-in contract?
Not on monthly - monthly plans are rolling with 14 days notice to cancel. Annual plans are a fixed 12-month term: 12 months upfront with 1 month free and the setup fee waived.
Are prices in AUD and do they include GST?
Yes. All prices are in Australian dollars and include GST. Managed Hosting is $30/mo, SEO adds $100/hour per month on top, and there's a once-off $100 setup fee that's waived on annual plans.
