Location Businesses

Get Found. Get Called. Get Footfall.

For clinics, salons, restaurants, studios and multi-location brands, we win the searches that happen when someone nearby is ready to buy, on Maps, in local search and in the ad slots that matter.

In short

Balistro wins local, high-intent demand for location-based and multi-location businesses through Google Business Profile optimisation, local SEO, Local Service Ads and review generation, so when someone nearby searches "near me" or opens Maps, you're the business they find, choose and call.

When someone searches "near me" or opens Maps, they're not browsing, they're ready to call, visit or book. We make sure your business is the one they find, choose and contact. From Google Business Profile optimisation and local SEO to Local Service Ads and review generation, we own your local presence so the calls and footfall come to you instead of the competitor down the road.

What we do

The full system, under one roof.

Google Business Profile

Full optimisation, categories, services, photos, posts and Q&A, so your profile ranks in the map pack and converts the click into a call or visit.

Local SEO

On-page, citations, local content and links that push you into the top three map results, where the overwhelming majority of local clicks land.

Local Service Ads

Google's pay-per-lead, Google-Guaranteed ad slots that sit above everything else, you pay for genuine leads, not clicks.

Review generation

Automated, compliant review requests that build the rating and volume that win both rankings and the trust of the next customer.

Multi-location at scale

Consistent profiles, pages and reporting across every branch, so a 2-location or 200-location brand stays accurate everywhere.

Call & visit tracking

Call tracking and store-visit measurement so you can see which listings and ads actually drive the phone to ring and the door to open.
