SEO Lane Cove
Dom runs the SEO campaigns and a lot of the lower North Shore work comes from Lane Cove, cafes and health practitioners along Burns Bay Road and trades businesses servicing the houses around the National Park. Been doing it for about twelve years and all the work is done in Sydney, campaigns start at $1,200 a month and there is no contract.
Why Local SEO Matters in Lane Cove
Lane Cove is in the 2066 postcode on the lower North Shore and most of the commercial activity sits along Burns Bay Road and Longueville Road, it is a small strip but there is a good amount of everything packed in there, cafes and restaurants and health practitioners and retail all within walking distance. Chatswood is just up the road to the north and Greenwich and Longueville are to the south and then you have got Lane Cove National Park on the western side, so people who live here tend to shop and eat locally.
The Plaza is the main shopping centre and then you have got the village strip around it with the cafes and the restaurants and a bunch of health practitioners, dentists and physios and GPs and allied health. It is mostly families, a lot of established houses and then some newer apartment blocks that have gone up in the last ten years or so, and that mix of older houses and apartments is actually relevant for SEO because the homeowners search differently to the apartment renters, the homeowners search for things like plumber Lane Cove and the renters just call the real estate agent.
People in Lane Cove search locally. If someone needs a dentist or a physio or a plumber they type dentist Lane Cove or plumber Lane Cove into Google, they dont search for dentist lower North Shore or dentist Sydney, and that is why your Google Business Profile and your website have to be set up to target that suburb level search. Burns Bay Road is walkable and people pop in and out of the shops on foot, so if your business shows up in the map pack when someone searches from their phone while they are walking around the village you are going to get foot traffic from that.
The houses in Lane Cove are older and they need maintenance, gutters and roofing and painting and pest control and renovations, and the properties backing onto the National Park get extra pest issues and tree work too. So there is consistent demand for trades and home services and the businesses that show up first in local search get the calls.

What Our SEO Campaigns Cover
Google Business Profile
I audit your GBP listing, fix the categories, add the attributes that matter, set up posts, and handle the Q and A section. Most businesses I see have this set up wrong or not at all.
Local Citation Building
Your name, address, and phone number need to match everywhere. I clean up inconsistencies across Australian directories and build new citations that actually help with local rankings.
On-Page & Technical SEO
Site speed, crawl issues, internal linking, schema markup, Core Web Vitals. The dull details that no one wants to hear about but are there when you need them.
Content & Keyword Strategy
Keyword research for your suburb and service area. Page optimisation. Content planning based on what people actually type into Google, not what you think they search for.
"We had been spending about $2500 a month on Google Ads for years and the cost per lead just kept going up and up, switching to SEO took longer to get going but the leads are better now and we are paying less per lead than we ever did with ads, took about 5 months before we really noticed the difference but it has been worth it."Andrew L., family law practice, Lane Cove, August 2024
How It Works
Audit & Research
I go through your site, your Google Business Profile, your citations, and what your competitors are doing in this area. The average audit takes about three days. You get a written document with findings, not a sales pitch.
Strategy & Implementation
I build a campaign around the keywords and local signals that will actually move the needle. Then I execute the technical fixes, content work, and citation building. You deal with me directly. I dont hand off to junior staff.
Monthly Reporting & Iteration
Every month you get a written report covering rankings, traffic, and leads. Not a dashboard with graphs and no context. An actual report that explains what happened and what I am doing next. Most of my clients stay for years because they can see what is being done.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
$1,200 a month for most local campaigns in Lane Cove. Health practices and trades businesses in competitive categories might be $1,500 to $1,800. Ring 0400 454 859 for a written quote with the full breakdown before anything starts.
How long before you see results?
Three to six months for most businesses. But GBP work can move faster, a dental practice on Burns Bay Road went from not showing up in the map pack at all to top 3 within about six weeks just from getting the category and citations sorted out. The 2066 postcode has moderate competition so things tend to move a bit quicker here than in somewhere like Chatswood or North Sydney.
Do you work outside Lane Cove?
Yes. Most of the work is on the lower North Shore because that is where Dom started but there are clients across Sydney, Chatswood and St Leonards and North Sydney and Longueville and Greenwich and further out too. Only one client per industry in each area so there is no conflict.
Is there a contract?
No. 30 days notice if you want to stop. Content stays on your site, backlinks stay, GBP improvements stay. Nothing gets pulled down and nothing gets held hostage.
