We'll see where you're currently ranking and which competitors are appearing ahead of you.
We'll see whether your business is being recommended by AI tools such as ChatGPT.
You'll leave with five things we'd prioritise to improve your online visibility – whether you choose to work with us or not.
If we believe we can help you achieve your goals, we'll explain which SEO package we'd recommend and what guarantee we can offer.
SEO is a long-term strategy. We typically expect to see solid movement within 3–6 months, although we’ve achieved results in as little as 60 days when SEO has been paired with a new, well-optimised website. Your timeframe will depend on your starting position, industry and competition.
For businesses where customers actively search online for their services, SEO can be one of the most cost-effective long-term marketing channels.
Unlike paid advertising, strong organic rankings can continue generating visibility and enquiries without paying for every click.
Our SEO packages start from $195 + GST per month, with our most popular package at $400 + GST per month. The right level depends on your goals, industry and competition. During your SEO Audit Call, we’ll look at where you’re currently ranking and recommend the level of SEO support we believe you need.
Google Ads can put your business in front of potential customers quickly, but you pay for every click and when you stop paying your website disappears.
SEO builds your organic visibility over time. It generally takes longer to achieve results, but the results are longer lasting.
Not always. Often, we can optimise your existing website.
A rebuild may make sense if your current site is outdated, slow, difficult for Google to understand or no longer reflects the quality of your business. We’ll tell you if we think your existing website is holding your SEO back.
Your Google Business Profile is the free business listing that can appear in Google Search and Google Maps. For local businesses, it’s an important part of your online visibility. Keeping it complete, accurate and active – and consistently generating genuine customer reviews – greatly strengthens your local SEO.
Some of the SEO basics can be done yourself. The question is whether that’s the best use of your time. For established businesses in competitive industries, SEO requires ongoing research, optimisation, content and monitoring – which is why many business owners choose to have a specialist manage it.
No responsible SEO agency can guarantee a permanent #1 Google ranking.
What we do offer with our SEO Plus package is a guarantee to get your business onto page 1 for an agreed key phrase within 12 months. If we don’t, we’ll continue working for free until we do. For selected businesses and key phrases, we may be able to guarantee a top-three organic position. We’ll confirm this after researching your market.
Rankings are one measure, but they’re not the end goal.
We track your search visibility and provide regular reporting, but ultimately we want to see more of the right people finding your business and an increase in quality enquiries.
