      Hi Guys,

      Looking for some advice on improving the visibility of my Google Local Page for non-brand local keyword terms.

      I want my listing to rank for local keyword terms “sydney cars” “cars in sydney” and related terms. I know reviews play a key role and citations. We have created many citations in multiple different directories (yelp, truelocal, etc) but still have not yet seen much movement or results. In this case should I be building links to the actual website BMW Sydney with various/high diversified anchor text around “sydney cars” “cars in sydney” "luxury cars" and variations and continue building authority to this website.

      Image of the search results:
      --> http://s17.postimg.org/u33sgl87j/screenshot_1482.jpg

      Is there anything further I can do to it’s Google Plus Profile to improve its local visibility for these keywords? (Besides Reviews)

      Google Plus Profile Is Here:
      https://plus.google.com/104004861293...ut?hl=en&gl=au

      Any advice would be highly appreciated.

      Thanks,
      Matt

        Hiya,

        Doesn't look like a verified listing to me, also a couple of +1's wouldn't hurt though the two 1 star reviews will hurt a bit. If you're being super picky you could look into optimizing your quote text currently "BMW Sydney - Driving People"

        I would recommend using your Google + page to create a used community page the local page would follow shortly after as they are tied in. Currently I see two unused Google plus pages for BMW Sydney would recommend using one a bit more.

        There are also lots of guides for local here on Moz if you have a look about.

        Good luck.
