WEBsmall SEO Mackay: Affordable SEO for Small Local Businesses
Why Invest in SEO?
According to Forbes Magazine, there are 5 key reasons for investing in SEO:
It helps increase your profits. Like any investment, paying for quality SEO services involves an initial outlay of money. Yet, the money you outlay pays for itself + more, leading to more sales and higher profits.
It helps people to find your business. How do you get more sales and higher profits? By helping people find your business when they are looking to buy on Google and other search engines.
It levels the competition. SEO works just as well for small businesses as it does for larger ones. Google doesn’t rank businesses according to size. Rather it tries to display the best result for the searcher, and SEO can help your website to come across as a good choice.
It is cost-effective. For a relatively small investment in SEO, any small business in Mackay can rank well on Google and other search engines. And with the likely increase in sales, it can soon pay for itself + more.
It can lead to long-term results. SEO can be the gift that keeps on giving.

Search Engine Optimisation Explained
When someone types a search query into Google, Googlebot analyses all the web pages in its database and tries to serve up the best ones. Search Engine Optimisation or SEO involves a wide range of techniques that help Googlebot to view one of your web pages as a great choice for a particular search term.
ON-PAGE, OFF-PAGE & TECHNICAL SEO techniques
SEO techniques can be placed into 1 of 3 possible categories, although there is some overlap.SEO techniques include:
- On-page SEO: Making a web page’s content worthy of ranking for a particular search query
- Off-page SEO: Building relevant internal links to key pages, as well as creating content that earns external links naturally
- Technical SEO: All the background techy stuff that helps Google understand and like your site and its web pages
All three of these types of techniques are relevant for local Mackay businesses. But the importance of the specific techniques used varies.
White Hat vs Black Hat SEO
You can also group SEO strategies into white hat and black hat techniques.
Black hat SEO techniques include anything that breaks Google’s guidelines. Put another way, Google views these techniques as cheating. They may work in the short term, but Google will penalise your site when they catch you. Two examples of Black Hat SEO are keyword stuffing and buying links.
White hat SEO techniques follow Google’s guidelines. So these techniques will help you rank one or more web pages when someone types in a relevant search query. Shaun uses powerful white hat SEO techniques and only white hat SEO techniques.
Organic SEO vs Map Pack SEO
As a local business, there are two places that SEO can help you rank:
- In the map pack
- Organically
Map Pack Rankings
Getting your business shown on a map that appears first when someone searches for something locally, like “website design mackay” Your business pops up here if it’s close to the searcher if it matches what they’re looking for, and if it’s popular or well-reviewed. You can improve your chances by ensuring your business details on Google are complete and encouraging customers to leave good reviews.
Organic Rankings
This is about getting your website to show up in the usual list of search results, below the map. It’s all about making your website the best it can be. This means having great content that matches what people are searching for, making sure your website loads quickly and works well on phones, and getting other websites to link to yours. It’s more about your website’s overall quality and less about where your business is located.
