Our founder spent years inside Google Ads watching it happen. Now we bring that same know-how to local businesses, and only local businesses.
I founded Local Business Marketing to do one thing well: get local businesses more customers with paid ads, local SEO and email that pay for themselves. No jargon, no lock-in contracts, and no handing your account to a junior. We keep the team small and senior, so you always work with specialists who do the actual work.
Before we started the agency, our founder spent 2.5 years working for Google Ads, on their support team, helping local businesses and the marketers running their accounts across North America. It's a vantage point very few marketers ever get.
You can see inside real ad accounts all day: a local plumber's sitting right next to a national brand's, and you can compare them directly. What stands out is that the difference is almost never effort. The local businesses work just as hard, and often spend real money. They lose on the technical details, the ones that quietly decide who wins: how the account is structured, what is actually tracked, where the budget flows, which searches are worth bidding on.
The big brands have people who know those details cold. The local businesses usually do not, and nobody is showing them. That is the gap we built this agency to close, and it is the know-how we bring to every business we work with.
We do not do fintech apps. We do not do content-farm websites. We do not chase whatever is trending. We work with local businesses, whether that is a chiropractor, a plumber, a psychologist or a roofer.
There are two honest reasons for that focus. The first is that local businesses judge us on the only thing that matters: actual numbers. Booked jobs and real enquiries, not promises and pretty dashboards. If the phone rings more, we have done our job. If it does not, no report will save us.
The second is that most local businesses need the same core set of skills. Every account we work on makes us sharper on the next one, so the expertise compounds instead of scattering. The moment we start dabbling in unrelated industries, that edge gets thin, which is the opposite of what a local business is paying us for. Specialising is not a limitation here. It is the whole value.
The way we run this is deliberately simple, because complexity is usually where local businesses get taken advantage of.

Every agency says the same things, so we would rather show you. These are real local businesses, real accounts and real numbers, including the ones that took a while to get right.

We are a small, remote team, based out of Joondalup, in Perth. Being remote is a feature, not a bug: it keeps our overheads low, which keeps your pricing fair, and it lets us work with businesses across North America, Australia, New Zealand and Europe.
Get in touch and we'll audit your setup and tell you honestly whether we can move the needle. No pressure, no jargon.
