Alessio provided an excellent service. He was very dedicated in his method of finding solutions to problems. He continued to try different avenues until he found the reason as to why a particular application was not working. He was very knowledgeable in his understanding of the internet and of applications and how they work, and he was able to apply this knowledge in understanding how to resolve the obstacles that continued to appear. He is understanding towards his client's needs and goals and he is willing to work with his client in achieving those goals. He is a very polite and well mannered person and very calm and gentle in his approach. I would highly recommend Alessio's services to anyone.

Nat's Custom Designs

Alessio from AGR Technology has recently helped me create a website for my business.
Throughout the whole process from start to finish Alessio made the process easy for me, by calling me and explaining each step of the way. I'm not very computer savvy, but with Alessio taking the time to explain in detail everything I needed to know from putting inventory in to having it shipped. He even remotely joined my computer to help guide me through everything.

He's very knowledgeable and is experienced in everything I needed and if there was anything else I needed to know that wasn't something he was familiar with, he researched it.
I would HIGHLY recommend Alessio to anyone. He has not only helped me for now but I know that if I ever needed help with anything else he would definitely go above and beyond to help. Thank you so much for everything you have done. It's been a long process but well worth it 🙂

Frequently Asked Questions

What is WordPress local SEO?

WordPress local SEO optimizes your site to show up for nearby, intent-driven searches. It includes on-page fixes, technical setup, Google Business Profile optimization, NAP consistency, local content, and schema. The goal is to attract customers in your service area, increase calls and visits, and improve conversion rates from local search results.

How is local SEO different from general SEO?

Local SEO targets searches with geographic intent (near me, city, suburb). It relies on Google Business Profile, citations, reviews, local content, and LocalBusiness schema, alongside on-page and technical SEO. General SEO focuses more on national or informational queries without the location signals needed to rank locally.

What services are included in WordPress local SEO?

Services include on-page optimization, site architecture fixes, Core Web Vitals improvements, location and service area pages, Google Business Profile setup, NAP standardization, citation building, review management, local backlink outreach, LocalBusiness schema, and analytics setup to track calls, directions, and conversions.

Why is a Google Business Profile important?

Google Business Profile powers your visibility in the local map pack and “near me” searches. A complete, accurate profile with categories, services, photos, hours, reviews, and UTM tracking improves rankings and conversions. It also enables calls, messages, directions, and posts directly from search and maps.

What is NAP and why does it matter?

NAP stands for Name, Address, and Phone. Consistent NAP across your website, Google Business Profile, and directories builds trust and reduces confusion. Inconsistencies can hurt rankings and lead to lost leads. Standardizing NAP and fixing duplicate listings strengthens your local authority.

What are citations and how do you build them?

Citations are mentions of your business NAP on directories and trusted sites (Google, Bing, Apple Maps, Yelp, Facebook, industry and local directories). Start with core listings, then add niche and regional sites. Ensure identical NAP, correct categories, and links to your location pages. Audit and tidy duplicates.

How do reviews impact local rankings?

Reviews signal trust, quality, and relevance. A steady flow of recent, high-quality reviews improves map rankings and conversion rates. Implement a review request process, respond to feedback, and showcase reviews on WordPress pages with proper schema. Avoid gating or fake reviews to stay compliant.

What is LocalBusiness schema and do I need it?

LocalBusiness schema is structured data that helps search engines understand your business details. Mark up NAP, hours, services, area served, and reviews. Use accurate, consistent data matching your citations and Google Business Profile. Validate with Google’s Rich Results Test to reduce errors.

How do Core Web Vitals affect local SEO?

Fast load times and stable pages improve user experience and conversions. Optimizing LCP, INP, and CLS on WordPress reduces bounce and helps rankings. Use lightweight themes, optimized images, caching, a CDN, and clean markup. Monitor with PageSpeed Insights and Search Console.

Do I need location and service area pages?

Yes. Unique, useful location pages help you rank in each suburb or city. Include NAP, embedded map, services, local FAQs, reviews, photos, service areas, and internal links. Avoid duplicate content; tailor copy to local intent and showcase local proof (projects, partners, events).

Earn links from local chambers, associations, suppliers, news sites, sponsorships, events, and community partnerships. Publish locally relevant content, PR stories, and guides. Aim for trusted, contextually relevant links to your location or service pages. Quality beats quantity.

Which WordPress plugins do you recommend?

Use lightweight tools: Rank Math, SEOPress, or Yoast SEO for metadata and sitemaps; a caching plugin; an image optimizer; and a redirection tool. Avoid plugin bloat. Keep themes lean, code clean, and only essential features active to protect Core Web Vitals.

How long until I see results from local SEO?

Quick wins can appear in weeks, but meaningful gains usually take 2–3 months, with competitive markets taking 3–6 months. Timelines depend on your site’s health, competition, review velocity, and content output. Consistency with citations, reviews, and content accelerates results.

What KPIs should we track?

Track local impressions, map pack visibility, calls, direction requests, form fills, bookings, click-to-call rate, page speed, and ranking by city/suburb. Connect GA4, Search Console, and Google Business Profile. Use UTM parameters and event tracking to measure real local conversions.

Can you help multi-location businesses?

Yes. We build a scalable structure with location hubs, unique landing pages, consistent NAP, separate Google Business Profiles, location-specific schema, and internal linking. We standardize citations, manage reviews per location, and report performance by city or store for clear insights.

Do you optimize WooCommerce stores for local SEO?

Absolutely. We align product pages with local intent, optimize store pages, use local pickup/delivery signals, manage local inventory visibility, add schema, and track checkout conversions by location and device. This helps drive nearby buyers and improves local eCommerce performance.

How do I get started?

Book a free local SEO audit. We’ll review your site structure, Core Web Vitals, citations, Google Business Profile, content gaps, and rankings. Then we provide a prioritized action plan tailored to your service areas, goals, and budget.
