Localius is a boutique digital marketing studio that exists for one reason: helping Perth’s local businesses get found — in Google Maps, in traditional search, and increasingly in the AI-generated answers that are reshaping how people discover businesses. Senior expertise, genuine local knowledge, no agency runaround.
Raj Tophakhane has been on a clear mission since 2012 (as Web Mantra, now Localius): giving Perth’s small businesses access to the same quality of digital marketing expertise that large companies take for granted — without the agency price tag, the junior handoffs, or the lack of transparency.
Over 14 years working with Perth businesses, we’ve built a rare combination of skills: deep technical local SEO, certified Google Ads management, WordPress and Shopify development — and now, an early specialisation in AI search (AEO/GEO) as that discipline takes shape.
What we’ve learned across those 14 years is that the most important element of any digital marketing engagement isn’t the strategy — it’s the relationship. You deserve to know exactly what’s being done, why, and what it’s returning. Every month.
We understand Perth’s local competitive landscape, seasonal patterns, and what genuinely works for WA businesses — not generic, national-template thinking.
No account-manager runaround, no junior handoffs. With Localius you get senior, founder-level attention on your strategy, campaigns, and communications — from day one.
Every recommendation we make is backed by data. No guessing or gut feel — we look at the numbers, understand the trends, and make informed decisions.
You’ll always know what work was done, why, and what it achieved. No black-box reporting, no vanity metrics — just clear, honest communication every step of the way.
We care about leads, calls, and revenue — not impressions and click-through rates. If your phone isn’t ringing more, we need to talk about why.
AI-era visibility first — backed by 14 years of hands-on local SEO, Google Ads and web expertise.
Google Business Profile, Map Pack rankings, citation building, local keyword strategy, review generation, and monthly tracking. Getting your Perth business found when it matters most.
