The Power of Google My Business: Improving Coles Express' Local SEO performance.

Enhancing the visibility and reach of 700+ Coles Express stores through GMB listings and local SEO strategy.

Coles Express is one of the leading fuel and convenience retailers with over 700 stores located throughout Australia, offering an array of products, including Shell fuel, food, drinks, and groceries.

 

Our mission was to improve user engagement and local visibility by optimising Coles Express Google My Business (GMB) listings. 


To achieve this goal, we developed a comprehensive strategy that focused on improving search performance on both Google SERPs and Maps, ensuring maximum exposure for relevant user searches.
