Who am I

My name is Caleb Johnstone and I am your local SEO expert

I've spent 7+ years helping local businesses like lawyers, physios, plumbers and dentists rank higher on Google.

I'm not an agency. I'm one specialist who works directly with every client.

Big agencies often spread a small team across hundreds of clients. I cap my client list at 30, so your campaign gets real work every month instead of sitting in a queue.

I personally handle every audit, strategy, brief and report, and you deal directly with me. A trusted freelance copywriter and developer help with implementation when needed, and I check their work before it goes live. You also get a live SEO dashboard to track rankings and performance in real time.

Industries I serve

Local businesses I work with

Every industry searches differently. A family lawyer, a plumber and a physio all have different customers, keywords and competitors, so I build each strategy around your industry.

Whether you're a tradie who wants more calls, a lawyer after more qualified enquiries or a clinic that wants a fuller appointment book, I'll help you get found when people nearby are searching.

If you don't see your business type listed, get in touch anyway. If I think I can help, I will. If I'm not the right fit, I'll let you know.

Law Firms

People looking for a lawyer usually search close to home, with searches like “family lawyer [city]” or “conveyancing lawyer near me”. I build practice area pages, optimise your Google Business Profile and earn trusted links so your firm shows up for those searches.

SEO for lawyers

Health & Wellness

I help physios, chiros, dentists and other allied health clinics get more local patients. That means ranking for searches like “physio [suburb]” or “dentist near me” and turning more of those visitors into bookings.

SEO for dentists

Tradies

Whether you're a plumber, electrician, builder or air con tech, people often need you fast. I'll optimise your website and Google Business Profile for searches like “emergency plumber [suburb]” so you're one of the first businesses they see and call.

SEO for tradies

Childcare & Education

Parents use Google to compare childcare centres, tutors and early learning programs nearby. I help you rank for searches like “childcare [suburb]” or “maths tutor near me” and show up in the map results families check first.

Hospitality & Tourism

For cafes, restaurants, tour operators and boutique stays, Google Maps often decides where people go. I'll optimise your website and Google Business Profile for searches like “best cafe [suburb]” or “Gold Coast day tours”, so travellers and locals can find you.

Real Estate Agencies

I help real estate agencies rank for local searches like “real estate agent near me” or “property manager [suburb]”. That covers your Google Business Profile, suburb content and citations, so more buyers, sellers and landlords find you before another agency.

Gyms & Fitness Studios

I work with gyms, fitness centres and boutique studios to rank for searches like “gym [suburb]” or “reformer pilates near me”, so more people in your area book a class, a trial or a membership.

Accountants & Financial Advisers

I help accountants and financial advisers rank for searches like “tax accountant [suburb]”, “financial adviser near me” and “business accountant [city]”, whether you focus on tax returns, business accounting or financial planning.
