Why not choose another
SEO agency?
Let's compare...
- Basic SEO plans without depth and understanding of your competition and what it will take to surpass their rankings.
- Black hat (dodgy) SEO techniques that look for short-term wins... This leads to penalised results and long-term damage.
- Outsourcing or white labelling SEO services - Causing misalignment in objectives and low-quality deliverables.
- Generalists... not specialists. Limited in SEO experience across industries or website platforms (CMS's).
- Hidden fees, undisclosed contracts (12 or even 24-month terms) and unexpected additional costs.

01
Relevant Content
“What is content relevancy?”
Google wants to ensure it shows the right content to every user search…
To do this, they use EEAT, which stands for; experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trust. This allows all content to be crawled and assessed based on this framework. Our team creates all content in alignment with this, creating “expert” content, improving relevancy, and ultimately improving your position in SERPs.
02
Site Authority
Site authority is determined by multiple factors, from branded traffic to business age (domain age) and the key metric, backlinks.
Having high-ranking, niche-relevant websites authoritative in your industry and linking to your content dramatically boosts your credibility.
Our link-building team will do this by creating a tailored link-building campaign based on your industry and your competitors’ link profiles.

Brisbane's Local SEO Agency
Having worked with 100s of local Brisbane businesses across a range of industries we understand the nuances required to have a successful SEO campaign no matter your industry.
Whether you are looking to increase your online presence in Google Business Profiles (Local SEO) or increase the overall organic traffic across products or services – we can tailor our Brisbane SEO campaigns to align with your business goals.
Our SEO Process
Initial Consultation & Audit
We always start by understanding your business… your goals and the objectives you have from your SEO campaign.
This can help us better map a successful SEO strategy to suit your business needs, ultimately resulting in a better SEO campaign for your business.
From this consultation, our team will thoroughly analyze your website (SEO audit), from on-page copy to your link profile and any SEO technical corrective work that may be required.
By manually completing this prior to onboarding we can gauge the requirements and resources required to get the best from your Brisbane SEO campaign… consider it “creating a baseline”.
Keyword Research & Competitive Analysis
Upon onboarding and with the SEO audit documentation already completed, we can transition into your comprehensive keyword planner. This outlines the primary keywords to which we are targeting within your campaign. We will also implement these into our keyword tracking dashboard (which you get access to).
Along with keyword research, we always undergo a competitive analysis, to ensure we haven’t missed opportunities that your “key” competitors may be capitalising on that you aren’t… We don’t want you to miss out!
Campaign Implementation
We move fast… often we are in campaign implementation within 1-2 weeks!
This is where our team now combines its findings from your baseline audit, any corrective measures needing to be addressed, keywords to target and competitive opportunities.
All this will be combined into a structured roadmap for implementation… the team will work on any “critical” tasks first, often causing dramatic effects on your rankings (which can result in some great “quick wins”).

How much should you pay for SEO?
Most Brisbane businesses are paying a monthly retainer for SEO will pay between $1,000 to $1,500 AUD per month, with national Australian campaigns being in the $2,000 to $3,000 range. For those paying by the hour, $150 to $200 is the most popular SEO hourly rate. For one-off SEO campaigns and project based work, $3,000 to $5,000 per-project is common.
How much does local SEO cost in Brisbane?
Why does my business need an SEO company?
Common questions we frequently answer from clients are, “Why do I need SEO management?” “Can’t I just run Google ads?” And, yes, Google advertising and meta-marketing can be fantastic lead-generation platforms and, in most cases, can provide the result in a matter of days,.
However, SEO is about compound returns and long-term success.
Example: Turn ads on, and leads start flowing. Turn your ads off, and the tap stops.
SEO works differently in that, by investing in your organic rankings, you, can start ranking for the primary search terms that your customers are searching for. With a comprehensive long-term strategy and some clever content marketing, we can put you in the top positions for some of the industry’s most competitive terms.
Why is SEO Important?
Will SEO work for my Brisbane business?
Yes, SEO can work for any business and the results we see across Brisbane for local businesses are a great example of this (Just see our case studies). Whether you are a small local trade business or an enterprise-level organisation, our SEO team will assess your website, create a tailored SEO strategy and implement it in alignment with your budget to meet your business goals. Our team will then track and measure the progress of your SEO campaign, making measurable changes monthly to ensure that you are getting the best possible results. With our combined expertise in technical SEO, content strategy, and authority building, we can help you achieve success with search engine optimisation.
How do major search engines determine website rankings?
Search engines take into account several factors and signals – and these change all the time. Overall, search engines monitor the words of your query, the relevance of your content, the usability of the website as a whole and the credibility of your referring links. Each of these factors has a different weight in the ranking system, which changes from time to time. This is why investing in a specialist team that is completely engulfed in the current SEO trends and ranking metrics pays off.
How do we measure the success of your SEO campaign?
SEO vs Google Ads, which is the best option?
Together in a collaborative marketing strategy is the best result.
Key Point: Google Ads are fantastic to drive fast, intent driven leads, especially when implemented by an agency or professional. Meanwhile, SEO is the way to go when it comes to building long-term success, authority, and brand viability.
