Why this company exists

Built around one outcome:
ranking on Google Maps.

Original Media was started by Ryan Gooding after watching local businesses waste months, and thousands of dollars, on generic "SEO reports" that never moved the one thing that actually books jobs: showing up in the top 3 of Google Maps.

So we stripped everything else away. No branding fluff, no vague content retainers. Just a system built around getting your Google Business Profile ranked above the competitors already outranking you in your service area.

When you work with us, you're not a line item in an account manager's spreadsheet. You're talking directly with the person optimising your profile.

Two ways we make your phone ring

Not brand engagement.
More calls. More customers.

We don't sell impressions or vanity metrics. We sell the two things that actually move the phone for local businesses: ranking on Google Maps, and a website built to convert whoever finds you there.

Service / 01

Google Maps & Local SEO

Own the top 3 of Google Maps, where the majority of local searches end in a phone call. Industry insiders call this the "map pack" — whatever you call it, this is our specialty, and the phone doesn't stop once you're in it.

  • Google Business Profile optimisation
  • Hyper-local service area pages
  • Review growth & reputation systems
Service / 02

Conversion-Built Websites

A site engineered to book the customer who finds you at 11pm on a Sunday. Not a brochure — a lead machine built from what actually turns map-pack traffic into a booked job.

  • Mobile-first, sub-2s load speed
  • Click-to-call CTAs + sticky contact bar
  • Built to convert map-pack & search traffic
Results focused

The Original Media Method

How we get you into
the Google Maps top 3.

A four-phase system — not a one-size template. Every client moves through this, but the tactics are custom to your suburb, category and competition.

01Week 1

Audit & Ranking Intelligence

We reverse-engineer your current Google Business Profile, your competitors already ranking above you, your reviews, citations and technical gaps. Output: a custom map-pack plan.

02Days 7–30

Profile & Foundation Build

Your Google Business Profile is fully optimised, categories and attributes fixed, review system live, local service-area pages published, and rank tracking installed.

03Day 31–90

Climb the Pack

We build local citations, earn relevant links, and push review velocity. This is where map-pack movement typically starts to show — anyone promising it faster isn't being straight with you.

04Month 4+

Dominate & Expand

Once you own your core service area, we optimise for adjacent suburbs so you rank everywhere you service — from the local business to the multi-location operator.

FAQ

Questions local businesses
actually ask.

How is Original Media different from other marketing agencies?

We're not generalists. We specialise in one thing — getting local businesses ranked in the Google Maps top 3 — plus the conversion websites that turn that visibility into booked jobs. That focus is your edge.

How long before I see ranking movement?

Your profile and website start capturing existing demand right away. Meaningful ranking movement typically builds over 90–180 days depending on how competitive your category and suburb are. Anyone promising top-3 rankings in 30 days isn't being straight with you.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. Every engagement is month-to-month. We'd rather earn your business every month with rankings than lock you into a contract you can't get out of.

I've been burned by agencies before. Why should I trust you?

Fair enough — a lot of local businesses have been. We're month-to-month so you can leave any time, you'll see your actual Google Maps ranking and call data in real time, and you're talking directly with the person doing the work, not an account manager.

What does it cost?

It depends on how competitive your category and service area are. We'll give you a clear number after your free Ranking Audit, once we've seen exactly what you're up against.

Do you do social media, branding or general content marketing?

No. We do two things: Google Maps & local SEO, and the conversion websites that turn that visibility into calls. If we did everything, we'd be mediocre at everything — we'd rather be the best at the channel that actually books local jobs.
