My Sydney shop is invisible on Google Maps. My local agency wants $4K to fix it.
Same fix, done by a senior PH consultant, runs a fraction of that — with weekly proof.
Local SEO Philippines · AU, US, SG, PH
Local SEO that wins the Google Maps 3-pack in your home market — done by a senior consultant from the Philippines.
Your nearest customer is searching "near me" right now on their phone. The 3-pack on Google Maps is who they call. Local SEO is the work of being one of those three pinned businesses — and it does not require an in-country agency to execute properly.

If this sounds familiar
Four reasons international businesses hire local SEO offshore.
Local SEO is platform work plus market intelligence — both are learnable, neither requires a Sydney or San Francisco postcode to execute.
I serve three cities and need NAP cleaned up everywhere. Nobody wants to do the unglamorous work.
NAP cleanup, citation building, multi-location consistency — the boring work that compounds. We do it.
I tried a "local SEO package" from a US agency. They delivered a checklist, not rankings.
Local SEO is execution, not packages. We track 3-pack rankings monthly and show you the movement.
I need someone who actually understands Sydney, NYC, or Singapore search intent.
Western-fluent English, regional context, and case studies in AU/US/SG. The audit will show you exactly.
Offshore local SEO in plain language
Local SEO is platform work. The platform is the same in Sydney, NYC, and Singapore.
Google Business Profile, citations, NAP consistency, review strategy, schema, location pages — these are the levers of local SEO. The levers are identical whether your shop is in Sydney, San Francisco, or Singapore. The only thing that varies by market is which citation directories matter (Yelp vs True Local vs StreetDirectory) and what review volume looks normal for your category. Both are learnable, neither requires a same-country agency.
What an in-country agency offers is supposedly "local market knowledge" — and you pay heavily for that proximity. The honest reality is that the actual work shipped looks the same: the same GBP optimisation steps, the same citation submissions, the same response templates. The price difference is paying for the office address.
A senior consultant from the Philippines runs the same playbook with the same market intelligence (now thoroughly documented and learnable), at roughly a third of the rate. The case studies on this page are real engagements in Singapore, Australia, the US — clients who tried offshore once and never looked back.
What is included
Six things every Local SEO Philippines engagement covers.
No "starter / pro / enterprise" tiers. One scope, full local SEO stack, fixed monthly rate.
1
Google Business Profile claim and full optimisation
Claim, verify, recover ownership where needed. Optimise category, attributes, photos, posts, Q&A, hours. Your GBP is your most valuable local real estate.
2
Citation building across your country
Listings on the directories that matter in your market — Yelp/Yellow Pages/True Local in AU/US, plus regional and niche directories that actually drive local rankings.
3
NAP consistency audit and cleanup
Find every place your business name, address, and phone are wrong on the web — and fix or claim them. Inconsistent NAP is the silent killer of local rankings.
4
Review generation and response strategy
Real review playbook — short link, QR code, staff training, monthly response templates. No review gating, no incentivised reviews — Google catches both.
5
Location pages with proper schema
For multi-location businesses, dedicated location pages with LocalBusiness schema, GeoCoordinates, and content that targets real local intent — not stuffed keywords.
6
3-pack ranking tracking that you can read
Monthly grid-style local-pack tracking for the keywords that drive walk-ins, calls, and direction requests. Pairs with GBP Philippines.
Why hire from the Philippines
Local SEO does not need to be local. The platform is global; the playbook is portable.
The cheapest mistake international businesses make is paying a same-country premium for work that is identical anywhere. Senior offshore consultants run the same playbook, with the same market intelligence, at honest rates.
Senior, never a junior
Every engagement is run by a senior consultant — me. No account managers, no offshore juniors executing templates, no agency layer between strategy and execution.
Western-quality English
The Philippines is the world's largest BPO market for a reason. Native-fluent business English, Western communication norms, and zero translation overhead in your weekly updates and reports.
Time zones that overlap
Same zone as Singapore, 2-3 hours from Sydney, and async-friendly handoff for US teams. You get a working day''s output before your morning standup — every day.
USD pricing, no surprises
$499 USD per month flat starting price. One-time $20 admin fee, fully deductible from your first invoice. Compare it directly against Sydney, San Francisco, or Singapore agency rates.
Real results, real markets
Proof from the same markets you sell into.
Real client testimonials and verified portfolio numbers from Australia, Singapore, the United States, and the Philippines — not stock photos with fictional reviewers.

FAQ
Real local SEO questions international buyers ask.
Can a Philippines-based consultant really do Local SEO for my AU, US, or SG business?
Yes — the work is platform work (Google Business Profile, citations, NAP, schema) plus market intelligence (which directories matter where, what review volume looks normal, regional keyword phrasing). Both are learnable. Senior offshore consultants like ours have run local SEO for clients in Sydney, San Francisco, and Singapore for years. The case studies on this page are the proof.
How do you handle local reviews when you cannot physically visit my customers?
We never could anyway — local reviews are about making it ridiculously easy for happy customers to review you, then asking consistently. We set up your short review link, train your staff (your team, not ours), and provide response templates for every star rating. Authentic reviews collected at scale beats anything else, and the playbook works the same in Sydney as it does in Cebu.
My agency built me a "local SEO package" that did nothing. What is different here?
Packages are templates. Local SEO is execution. We do not sell you a checklist of tasks — we audit your specific market, identify the easiest wins for your business, and execute month after month with weekly proof of progress. No "5 citations and a blog post" packages. The work is what it is, priced honestly.
How long until I see 3-pack rankings move?
Local SEO is the fastest-moving SEO discipline because the map pack updates more frequently than the regular SERPs. NAP cleanup, GBP optimisation, and citation work typically show measurable lift in 4-12 weeks. Highly competitive 3-pack queries (think "dentist Sydney", "pizza San Francisco") take longer. The audit gives you a realistic timeline for your specific market.
Do you work with multi-location businesses?
Yes — chains, franchises, multi-city service areas. The work scales by adding location pages, location-specific GBPs, and grid-tracking per location. Some of our largest engagements are multi-location operators in AU and the US. The cost scales with locations and complexity, but the methodology is the same.
