        I would love to answer that since I am not an expert. I would refrain from doing so, would love to hear what the experts have to say on this.

        What do you think? Why not start creating meta tags after that?

    Build a blog around 1 to 5 keywords for that industry, with content, video ect. Good on page SEO and start building varied links say 10 a day until you reach your goal. Check the top spots to see their link count to give you a total to go after and time frame to acheive it. local does not need huge effort to rank.

    1) Claim your google places listing (you have to be logged in with your Google Account)
    2) Fill in ALL THE INFORMATION (and by all, I mean 100% - pictures, video, address, website, 5 categories) and never put a location in any of the categories - never ever!
    3) Submit your listing to different directories
    4) Try to get reviews from your clients

    Start with these

    classic seo will win over the 7 box if it's good enough. Other than that, optimize google places listing

      Basically both of these, focus on classic SEO and your Google Places listing.

    I am looking to create a blog, does it matter if it's a free one or not when it comes to rankings or link building?

    As long as you have blogs, proper keywords, metatags and add yourself to the local maps then you should be able to have Google look at your site. But it is very time consuming and sometimes it is easier just to hire an SEO company to build your popularity and they can do link building for you as well.

    There are companies that will do this for you and probably save you a considerable amount of time. While there is definitely some benefit from doing this yourself, you'll find that the time it takes you to do it will be somewhat considerable to learn what to do and then actually do it. If you value your time at more than $10/hour or so, it just makes sense to have someone do it for you so that you can concentrate on your actual business, customers, etc.

    My company, TryBPO.com, does the back-end SEO work for several different mid-sized local SEO companies in the US. We access their CRM's and complete the various tasks associated with getting their business ranked through profile pages, video creation/optimization, related directory submission, etc. We don't take end-customers directly though, so I can't help you there.

    A quick search in Australia shows there are companies like this there:
    Local SEO Australia is an Australian SEO company Sydney | SEO solutions for Australian local businesses
    Affordable Local SEO Services | Sydney | Melbourne | Perth | Brisbane | Adelaide | Australia

    (I have no association with the above companies and can't vouch for their legitimacy...do some due diligence before working with any local seo...the industry is known for being a bit sketchy at times.)

    Here's a true expert in local SEO if you'd like to learn more yourself about how to do it in Australia, specifically:
    Mihmorandum | The Guide to Australian Citations for Local Search | Local SEO

    I also know a social media expert in Australia named "Tomer Garzberg" if you're interested in social media promotion on Twitter, Facebook, etc and you can look him up to find his info.

    Hope that helps!
