Why Searchlight was created...
Businesses struggle with;
Low Organic Visibility
Many businesses struggle to appear on the first page of search results for relevant keywords. This makes it difficult for potential customers to find them online
Declining Website Traffic
Without consistent high rankings, websites see a decrease in organic traffic. This directly impacts leads and sales
Intense Competition
The online space is highly competitive, with thousands of businesses vying for the same keywords. Standing out requires a strategic approach to SEO
Our Searchlight framework is a revolutionary solution that delivers exceptional results.
Core Components Include;
- Proprietary Searchlight SEO Framework
- Hyper-Personalised Keyword Targeting
- Content Optimisation Mastery
- Off-Page Authority Building & Brand Sentiment
Our Clients Love Searchlight

Want to understand more?
We only offer our exceptional Searchlight SEO services for our Canberra businesses… We would like to say that every agency also commits to a similar standard – But, that’s not always the case.
You'll get to work with some of the best SEO specialists in Australia!
- We strategise every SEO campaign individually... So, no cookie-cutter process! Our campaigns are built to align to your business, your goals and your location!
- We don't waste time!... We work FAST, for real successful SEO results through tested practices that will create long-term campaign success.

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.

When you choose Digital Nomads HQ as your digital marketing agency, you gain access to a collective group of specialists who have collaborated and delivered results for some of Australia’s largest brands.



























Why are our SEO campaigns so successful?
Experience…and lots of it!
We have been working with businesses across Australia for years, working in every industry and across all budgets. We have tested it all and know what works… and equally what doesn’t. So know that our team can achieve the visibility in search engine results you are looking for!
How do we do it?
01
Relevant Content
Google is looking for high-quality content that is targeted to your location (Canberra), and equally so are your customers…This is where localised content comes in. Create pages for your services that are tailored to your geographical area. For example, a Canberra Real Estate agency or plumbers in Canberra…we’ll make sure your services are front and centre for your customer’s organic searches.
02
Site Authority
Building your website authority is a must. Statistically, higher-ranking pages have more high-quality backlinks (1st positions have 3.8x more links)…so our team will ensure a link-building strategy is part of your SEO campaign.
We don’t just get you ‘random’ or potentially toxic backlinks, either! We build niche-relevant, high-quality backlinks that will greatly enhance your website’s trust.
03
User Experience
User experience always has to be front of mind. Sending customers to a page with a bad experience can cost you the potential organic conversion…
This can be related to load speed, user navigation, cross-device compatibility, and content.
With a full team of designers, developers & experienced digital marketing experts… we can make sure the site experience is a great one!

Our SEO Process
Scoping & SEO Audit
Every campaign starts with a scoping call to better understand your business objectives and the goals (KPIs) you may have for your SEO campaign.
By completing this, we can ensure that our SEO strategy is better aligned with your business’s needs.
This ultimately gets you a better result in the end!
Post this meeting, our SEO team will analyse your existing website, assessing on-page copy, backlink profile, and technical aspects… you name it, we check it!
By completing this before your onboarding, we can gauge the resources required to get the most from your SEO campaign. Consider it “creating a baseline.”
Keyword Research & Competitor Analysis
With the SEO audit documentation already completed – we can quickly move into your comprehensive keyword planner.
This is the process of documenting the primary keywords we will target within your campaign.
All these relevant keywords will also be implemented into our keyword tracking dashboard (which you get access to).
Along with the keyword research & planner, we also undergo a complete competitive analysis. This ensures we haven’t missed any opportunities that your “key” competitors may be capitalising on that you aren’t… We don’t want you to miss out!
Campaign Implementation
We like to move fast… often meaning we are in campaign implementation within 1-2 weeks!
Our SEO experts will now combine the findings from our baseline SEO audit, any corrective measures needing to be addressed, and the keywords we will be targeting over your campaign roll-out.
The team will always prioritise any “critical” tasks first, as these can quickly improve rankings if the website is struggling to gain traction (which can result in some great “quick wins”).
Ongoing SEO Campaign
Quick wins obtained and priorities addressed…your campaign transitions into a proactive SEO campaign.
Working monthly on new strategic content, writing “engaging, expert level” content, that doesn’t just rank… but outranks your competitors.
We will develop topical pillars on your website to increase your topical relevancy within your industry… and increase your authority by building on your niche backlink profile!
This is how your SEO campaign becomes a successful one…

What is SEO?
SEO or Search Engine Optimisation is the optimisation process to increase a website’s ranking in SERPs.

Listen to Benjamin Paine and Annabelle Cochrane explain the ins and outs of SEO.
Otherwise, read our comprehensive guide on “What is SEO.“
How much does local SEO cost in Canberra?
The cost of SEO services in Canberra ranges from $1,000 to $3,000+ per month. These costs vary and are based on the SEO scope of work or inclusions in the campaign. A once-off setup/project cost for SEO can be $3,500 – $10,000+ depending on the number of pages required and keyword target quantity, whereas a monthly campaign for a local business looking to improve its ranking in SERPs will generally be between $1,000 – $2,500 AUD p/m.
Why does my business need an SEO company?
Common questions we frequently answer from clients are, “Why do I need SEO?” “Can’t I just run Google ads?” And while, 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, long-term strategy, and success.
Example: Turn ads on, and leads start flowing. Turn your ads off, and the tap stops.
SEO efforts work differently in that by investing in your organic rankings; you can start ranking for relevant search terms your customers are searching for. With a comprehensive SEO strategy and some clever content, we can put you in the top positions for some of the industry’s most competitive terms.
Why is SEO Important?
A common question that we get asked… “Why is SEO important, or Why do I need to do SEO?”
The answer isn’t necessarily a simple one.
SEO is usually a” no-brainer” investment. With plenty of high-intent search traffic and keywords that are easy to obtain (low keyword difficulty), investing even just a small amount in a monthly campaign can very quickly provide a return…. and not just a return for a month or two… but long-term compounding returns.
One statistic is that small businesses that invest in SEO, can see an average of 30%+ traffic increase within four months.
Now, yes, the opposite can be true.
Low search volumes, with very hard-to-obtain keyword phrases, may make you reconsider investing in an SEO campaign. This is why we always want to conduct an audit of your website, competitors & market opportunity prior to recommending any investment.
Will SEO work for my Canberra business?
Yes, SEO does work for almost every industry… there are some rare circumstances when there isn’t enough search, or the industry is heavily reliant on referral or word of mouth… by 98% of the time, there’s an opportunity! (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 an effective 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 creation, and authority building, we can help you achieve online success with search engine optimisation.
How do search engines determine website rankings?
Search engines consider several factors and signals – these change constantly. 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?
There are many ways to measure the success of your SEO campaign. If you are just commencing in SEO, the first factor you will focus on is keyword performance. Once you obtain a first-page position, the next measure of success is organic traffic. Once your website has hit the first position for your primary keyword, this is where CRO comes in—where we monitor conversion rates and how we can best set your website up for maximum conversions.
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.
