The 3 pillars to a success SEO Strategy

Let’s break down how we get you there! Many agencies and freelancers hide behind the methods and implementation required to achieve your SEO results. At Digital Nomads HQ, we believe in complete transparency—no smoke and mirrors. Here’s a step-by-step on how we do it:

Relevant Content

Relevant information that speaks to the user’s intent is a must! By understanding the user’s search and the information they are looking for, we can answer their question by creating content that is relevant and valuable to the user.

Website Authority

Major search engines leverage the importance of external websites linking back to your content for credibility. Another way of looking at this is that you can say, “You’re the best plumber on the Gold Coast,” but it’s far more credible if someone else says it. Having credible sources do exactly this helps boost your authority and ultimately your search engine rankings.

User Experience

Lastly, a fast, easy-to-navigate experience ties everything together. Google measures this with their Core Web Vital metrics, ensuring content is legible and visible to the user. With an award-winning web design team in-house, we can ensure this gets implemented in your SEO campaign.

Trusted Gold Coast SEO Specialists

Search engine optimisation is all about investing in your business… and it results in increased digital credibility and long-term results.

With Google searches continuing to increase year in and year out and new ways of searching being implemented across search engines (AI and SGE), having a strong web presence has never been more important.

Our SEO Process

Scope Meeting & SEO Audit

Every SEO campaign we implement always starts the same way….by understanding your Gold Coast business… your goals and the objectives you have from your SEO campaign.

By having a detailed scoping meeting, helps us better align our SEO strategy to suit the needs you have as a business, ultimately getting you a better result in the end.

From this scoping call, our team will thoroughly analyse your website (SEO Audit) – this involves assessing your on-page copy, any existing backlink profile & often the technical SEO or “corrective work” that may be required in your campaign.

By manually completing this prior to onboarding we can gauge the requirements and resources your SEO campaign needs to include to ensure we tackle everything your website requires… consider it “creating a baseline”.

Keyword Research & Competitive Analysis

With scoping and SEO audits complete, we can transition into your SEO keyword planner for the campaign.

This process outlines the primary keywords to which we will be targeting within your monthly SEO campaign. The keywords that are outlined will also be implemented into our SEO tracking dashboard (which you also get access to).

Along with this keyword planning, we always undergo a competitive analysis!

This is 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!

SEO Campaign Implementation

We LOVE to move fast… often we are in your campaign implementation within 1-2 weeks!

Now our SEO team combines the findings from your “baseline” audit, any corrective measures needing to be addressed, your primary keywords and competitive opportunities.

All this gets combined into a structured SEO roadmap for your campaign… the SEO team will then work on any “critical” tasks first, as these often cause dramatic (by good) effects on your rankings (which can result in some great “quick wins”).

Ongoing SEO Campaign

With the primary Technical SEO fixes corrected and the “quick wins” obtained, your campaign will transition into a proactive SEO campaign.

Working on strategic content, our team will write “expert” content with depth…to not just rank… but outrank your competitors.

Defining topic pillars and cornerstone content on your website, increasing your topical relevancy within your industry… along with this, increasing your business authority by building on your backlink profile!

This is how your SEO campaign becomes a successful one…

Quality Content for Quality SEO!

The question is, “How do search engines set content apart from the rest?" Quality is key.

How much does it cost to pay for SEO

The cost of SEO in Gold Coast depends on some key factors;

Industry: How competitive is your industry, and what is the amount of work required to be competitive?

Existing Work: Is your business starting from scratch, or do you already have credibility, authority, and content?

Your Goals: How aggressively do you wish to have your campaign, and across how many services or products?

All of these factors are considered when pricing an SEO campaign.

So… How much does SEO cost on the Gold Coast?

Generally between $1000 – $3000 AUD per month for a local SEO campaign.

Why is SEO so expensive?

The SEO cost is relative to the expertise and hours required to achieve the results.

SEO services require a broad range of skills at the highest calibre to achieve results… This means copyrighters, technical SEO specialists, on-page user experience work, developers, etc., can all be required within a campaign.

When you consider 10-15 hours of work monthly across these professionals at $100-$150p/h, SEO can be considered expensive.

Is SEO worth it for small business?

Absolutely!

SEO plays a pivotal role for businesses as it enhances visibility in search engine results, driving organic traffic and fostering higher conversions. By focusing on local SEO, companies can ensure their presence is prominent among Gold Coast businesses, targeting potential customers actively seeking their offerings.

Through best practice SEO strategies such as keyword research, content optimisation, and link building, businesses bolster their credibility, earning trust among their target audience and elevating their standing in search engine rankings.

How Do 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 and these change 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.

Is SEO a One-Time Effort?

Unlike Google ads, Facebook ads and web development, SEO is an ongoing process of optimisation and tweaks – due to the ever-changing ranking metrics and factors that search engines place an emphasis on.

What Is The Difference Between Organic & Paid Search Results?

Organic search results appear naturally in the SERPs due to their relevance to the user’s query. Whereas, paid search results appear after a company has paid to have its website advertised. These ads appear at both the top and bottom of the SERPs and are typically labelled as ‘sponsored’. Unlike organic, paid search is a strategy where businesses bid and spend money to show up for a particular query.

What Are Backlinks & Why Are They Important For SEO?

Backlinks are referring links from websites to yours. They are a key factor in SEO as they serve as a signal to search engines that your website is a credible source of information and relevant to the subject matter that you are trying to rank for.

Additionally, backlinks can also help increase referral traffic from other websites, making it an invaluable tactic for improving your online visibility and reach.

For more insight on what are backlinks and why your SEO campaign needs them… read our “What are backlinks” guide.

Why should I invest in Search Engine Optimisation?

Daily, we’re asked, “Why SEO…?”

While SEO doesn’t yield instant leads like ads, its long-term returns are invaluable. Tailored local SEO strategies by award-winning SEO agencies to drive search engine rankings, increase online visibility and generate organic search traffic for sustained results.
