About
locally connected

We want to see
your business thrive

Because your success is the only measure that matters.

I started Locally Connected with a simple belief: that local businesses deserve marketing support from people who truly care about the outcome. We still work with some of our first clients.

A different kind
of partnership

Locally Connected has been running since 2017, helping service-based businesses get found online and grow sustainably. Over time the work has evolved from websites and SEO to a broader focus on visibility, positioning, AI search and strategic growth.

What hasn’t changed is the approach. We stay for the long term, deliver as much value as possible, and genuinely care for our clients and helping their business grow. Many clients have been with us for five years or more.

That retention happens because we show up consistently, do what we say and treat your business with the respect it deserves.

Over the years, we’ve seen a lot: what works, what doesn’t, the dodgy things other providers do, and what the difference looks like between a business that grows steadily and one that stalls. That experience shapes every engagement.

Our Vision

To become one of Australia’s most trusted boutique authorities in Local SEO, AI Search, and human-centred digital marketing, helping local businesses create genuine abundance, stability, and long-term growth for their families and communities. Through education, innovation, and authentic partnerships, Locally Connected aims to empower thousands of business owners to be confidently seen, discovered, and chosen.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help local businesses become visible, trusted, and consistently found online through honest marketing that puts people first. We believe great businesses deserve to thrive. We help business owners generate more enquiries, build long-term visibility, and grow sustainably for their families and communities, through transparent advice, genuine relationships, and measurable outcomes.

Many agencies get it wrong

They don’t take enough time. They don’t care enough. They constantly chase the next client to wow with their sales process instead of doing great work for the clients they already have.

Taking time to ‘get’ you
Understanding your business, your philosophies, your customers and community is the foundation.
Relationships outlast campaigns
Over 50% of our clients have been working with us for five years or more. We do our best to provide great value and go the extra mile.
Trust signals matter as much as visibility.
Being visible on Google is only part of it. AI tools and potential customers also need to feel trust in your business before they call.
Honest and transparent
We’ll tell you what’s actually going on with your online presence, even if it’s not what you want to hear. Clear, honest advice is more valuable than a polished sales pitch.
Being local matters
Your business serves your community. The people searching for you are real people with real needs. That responsibility shapes how we approach every piece of work.
Growth should feel sustainable
The goal is the right clients, steady growth, and a business that supports your family and team without burning everyone out.

What you can
expect

We want to give all of our clients the attention they deserve. This is what working together feels like:

We respond
Emails get answered. We call your back. Questions don’t disappear into a support queue. You know where things stand.
We tell you the truth
If something isn’t working, you’ll hear it. If there’s a better approach, we’ll say so, even if it’s not what you were hoping for.
You keep control
Your website, your accounts, your data. Always. We’ve seen too many business owners locked out of their own assets.
We commit
Many clients have worked with us for years. The trust builds consistently over time, and so do the results.

Ready to work
with a team
who cares?

Whether you’re a local business trying to navigate the changes in online search, a service business that’s been burned by agencies before, or you just want a clear picture of where your online presence actually stands in the age of AI we would love to hear from you.

If you want to test the waters, the best place to start is the Visibility Insight Review — a $295 audit that gives you a clear picture of how your website performs, before you commit to anything else.

Not sure where to begin?

The Visibility Insight Review was designed exactly for that moment, when you know something isn’t quite right with your online presence, but you’re not ready to commit to a big program yet. It’s $295, it’s thorough, and it comes with a personal video from Maz walking you through everything she found.
