Lessons learned
"In a crowded local market, the SERP isn't about the biggest brand — it's about the most specific page."

Guard 1 doesn't have the ad budget of the big security networks dominating Melbourne. What they have is specificity — and we built SEO content to match it. Location × service landing pages, an outreach program in credible business press, 30 directory links a month. In 90 days, Google clicks doubled and 53 keywords hit the top 10.
