III. Performance
Business Performance Review (February 2026 – April 2026)
The primary objective of this campaign was to improve the visibility of Aus Pro Commercial Cleaners within Google’s Local Map Pack for high-intent commercial cleaning searches. At the beginning of the campaign, the business was not appearing prominently for its primary target keyword, resulting in limited exposure and missed opportunities to generate local enquiries.
Following a comprehensive Google Business Profile optimization strategy, the business experienced significant improvements in local search visibility, customer engagement, and lead generation within two months.
The optimization campaign focused on strengthening local relevance, improving business authority, and increasing profile activity, allowing the business to compete with well-established commercial cleaning providers throughout Brisbane.
Before Optimization
Actual Search Results in Google Search (February 2026)
Actual Search Results in Google Maps (February 2026)
Before the Local SEO campaign, searches for “commercial cleaning Brisbane” displayed multiple established competitors while Aus Pro Commercial Cleaners struggled to gain meaningful visibility in Google Maps.
Although the business provided high-quality commercial cleaning services and maintained excellent customer satisfaction, its Google Business Profile lacked the optimization needed to compete for valuable local search positions.
As a result, potential customers searching for commercial cleaning services were more likely to discover competing businesses before finding Aus Pro Commercial Cleaners.
After Optimization

Within two months of implementing the optimization strategy, Aus Pro Commercial Cleaners achieved a Top 3 position in Google’s Local Map Pack for the highly competitive search term “commercial cleaning Brisbane.”
This improvement significantly increased the business’s visibility to customers actively searching for commercial cleaning services while strengthening its overall local search presence.
The optimized profile also showcased an active business with consistent updates, comprehensive service information, relevant business categories, optimized products, location-enhanced images, and a growing collection of positive customer reviews.
Google Business Profile Performance
Received Calls (February 2026 – April 2026)
Between February and April 2026, the optimized Google Business Profile generated 47 customer phone calls, representing a 27% increase compared to the same period in the previous year.
Customer engagement increased consistently throughout the campaign, with monthly call volume showing steady growth as local visibility improved and the business established stronger authority within Google Maps.
Reaching a Top 3 Local Map Pack position created greater exposure for one of the business’s highest-value keywords, resulting in increased enquiries, stronger brand recognition, and a more sustainable source of qualified local leads.
