Every state runs its own race

Australia added tens of thousands of new businesses in each of its biggest states last year, and every one of them wants the same few places in the local map pack. Buyers in Parramatta, Geelong and Joondalup search for nearby help, so plans have to work suburb by suburb.

Each state page shows how we plan for that market.

SEO in Australia: questions, answered

Ask us directly
Who is the best SEO company in Australia?

The best SEO company in Australia for your business is one that can show results in your industry, knows your state and puts its price in writing. Lists rank firms on reviews and awards. Google's own questions for hiring an SEO are a better test.

How much does SEO cost in Australia?

SEO is usually billed monthly, and the price rises with the number of suburbs and states, competition in your industry and the size of your site. One suburb costs much less than national coverage. We send a written quote in AUD after a free review of your market.

Should I hire an Australian agency or an international one?

Pick the team that knows your state's buyers and can prove it. A local firm may know the press and chambers, and an international team brings data from many markets. We serve Australian businesses remotely and research each state's suburbs, rivals and search habits first.

What do the ACCC review rules mean for my business?

The ACCC treats fake reviews, and selectively hiding genuine negative ones, as potentially misleading conduct. That's why we invite all customers to review you and help you reply well to criticism. Its plain-English online reviews guidance sets out the details.

Is SEO still worth it with AI answers in Australia?

Yes. AI Overviews and ChatGPT build answers from pages they can find and trust. Clear facts, genuine reviews and well-sourced Australian pages now earn the ranking and the AI mention together, so your SEO work pays off in both places, from Sydney to Perth.

Can anyone guarantee a #1 ranking on google.com.au?

No one can. Google says "no one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google". What we commit to is a written plan, steady monthly work and honest tracking on google.com.au for the suburbs that bring you revenue, from Parramatta to Fremantle.
