The market has already told small business owners this: sub-$800 SEO is widely described as ineffective, and it's become a scam signal. We'd rather tell you that upfront than sell you a discount retainer that doesn't move the needle.
A large share of our SEO clients are builders, electricians, plumbers and other trade businesses where the map pack and local search decide who gets the call. See how we work with tradies on our builders & tradies industry page.
Local SEO starts at $990/month with us, growth campaigns at $1,690, and national or ecommerce campaigns at $2,990. Across the Australian market generally, SEO runs $990–$3,000/month for most small and medium businesses, with the market openly warning against anything under $800/month as ineffective.
Expect early movement — indexing improvements, initial ranking shifts — in 4–8 weeks, and meaningful commercial results (leads, calls, enquiries) in 4–6 months. SEO compounds; the businesses that see the biggest gains are the ones that stay on a campaign past the first quarter.
No, and no legitimate SEO provider can. Google's algorithm isn't something any agency controls. What we do guarantee is the work: technical fixes, content built around real search terms, and transparent monthly reporting so you can see exactly what's being done and what's moving.
Because the market has already told small business owners the truth: sub-$800 SEO is widely described as ineffective, and it's become a scam signal. Selling a discount retainer that doesn't actually move rankings would cost you money and cost us trust. $990/month is what real, ongoing SEO work costs to do properly.
The setup included in every website tier covers titles, meta descriptions, heading structure and Google indexing — the fundamentals that make your site findable. An SEO campaign is ongoing work to actually rank against competitors: content, technical fixes, local SEO structure and link building. They're not the same thing, and we never blur the two.
Yes — a large share of our SEO clients are builders, electricians, plumbers and other trades where the map pack and local search matter more than almost anything else. See our work with Spray Pave in Canberra as a documented example.
A written, plain-English report showing what was done, what changed in rankings and traffic, and what's planned next — not a jargon-filled dashboard you need us to explain.
No. SEO is billed month-to-month. We'd rather earn the renewal every month than lock you into a term.
It's structuring your content so AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overview and Perplexity can find, understand and cite your business accurately — direct-answer blocks, clear FAQs and structured data. Most Australian agencies haven't started doing this yet; we build it into every campaign as standard.
Yes, and it's a common, preventable problem. We audit what changed, map old URLs to new ones, implement redirects where they're missing, and rebuild the technical foundation the site is missing.
Yes — product and collection page structure, category architecture and technical fixes specific to Shopify and WooCommerce stores, priced under our national/ecommerce SEO tier from $2,990/month.
SEO is the better long-term investment if you can wait a few months for compounding results and want traffic that doesn't stop the day you stop paying. Google Ads gets you leads immediately but stops the moment you pause spend. Most businesses that can afford both eventually run them side by side.
