Dear Business Owner,
If you've landed on this page... it means you're looking for a SEO Company in Brisbane.
And even though we think we're one of the best SEO Companies in Brisbane, it’s probably not that clear-cut for you!
You may have tried SEO in the past.
Worked with another agency, an overseas freelancer or a “wannabe internet marketing guru”.
They promised the world but delivered nothing in return for your hard-earned money.
We get it… we hear these “horror” stories a lot.
So rather than confuse you with “techy” mumbo jumbo SEO talk or desperately try to hard pitch you...
We’ve designed the rest of this page to help you make an educated decision.
Having helped business owners website marketing since 2007, we have found three main easy-to-spot things that set a good SEO company apart from a bad one.
The following 3 factors will help you choose the right SEO agency in Brisbane.
Our Core Values As An SEO Agency
1. PROOF
Does the company provide undeniable proof that they can get results? Not just in the past, but right now and… not just for their own website either.
2. TRANSPARENCY
Will you get full reporting on what work gets done, what this work looks like and what impact it had on your website? This truly identifies the companies' expertise in their field.
3. FOCUS ON RESULTS
Is the focus just on rankings or on more traffic, more phone calls, more enquiries & more revenue? Rankings alone aren’t going to pay your bills!
If the company you’re talking to can give good answers to the above, they’ll likely do a pretty good job with your search engine optimization campaign.
And YES, we are biased 😬
...but we think by the time you get to the end of this page, you’ll understand why companies all over Brisbane and some of Australia’s biggest brands trust us with their Search Engine Optimization needs.
So here’s us having a crack at answering the above 3 for you.
Proof Of SEO Results
While we don’t want to gloat, we’re trusted by both local and national brands.
You may even recognise some household names in the range of businesses that trust us.




















Look… it’s nice to be able to feature all those brands and we love all our clients.
But what really excites us is the results for clients.
Measurable. Impactful. Business Changing. Results!
So here are a few case studies and undeniable proof that we get results.
SEO Results (Case Studies)

It's part of our vision, mission and core values.
The focus for every Brisbane SEO campaign is what actually matters to you as a business owner.
Being business owners ourselves and having provided digital marketing services to businesses since 2007, we know this isn't vanity metrics like:
"impression share" "crawl budget" or whether you have a "high domain score"
Those are all things we know and care about, but our focus for every campaign is this:
More traffic > More phone calls > More leads > More sales.
Here's what this looked like for another one of our clients who we helped beat his competitors.


The foundation of our services hinge on this focus.
Here's our process and how our team will achieve these kind of outcomes for you too.
Our Proven SEO Process For Businesses Based In Brisbane
Determine if SEO will generate a positive ROI
The very first step before even thinking about hiring a SEO agency is to figure out if your business actually lends itself to SEO.
In other words...
Is SEO worth it for your Brisbane businesses?
90% of the time, the short answer is yes.
The long answer is "it depends".
We always like to work backward when deciding whether SEO is a good fit for businesses.
The first step is to look at your customers.
Do they live in the Brisbane area, and are they likely to go to Google to search for your products or services?
In other words, does your business type lend itself to SEO?
The types of businesses in Brisbane we've been able to help most are those where people already know what they want but simply need to find the right provider for their needs.
The next step is to look at the location.
Do you operate Brisbane-wide, and can you service all of Brisbane, or do you just want to narrow in on a specific suburb?
For example, if you're located and just serving Logan, you probably don't want to travel to service leads in the northern suburbs of Brisbane, such as Chermside or North Lakes.
In this scenario, we wouldn't recommend a Brisbane-wide campaign, but instead, to narrow in on your suburb and only focus on the area you can actually service profitably.
If the above two align.
- There is a demand
- You can service that demand
Then SEO will still be worth it in Brisbane.
Map Out the Stages Of The SEO Campaign
This is a full 5-point breakdown of what Search Engine Optimisation looks like for a Brisbane company.
Doing SEO in Brisbane would look as follows:
- Identify which keywords are suitable for you to target. Eg. ("your service" Brisbane) ("your product" Brisbane)
- Optimise your website around these keywords.
- Start your content engine to build relevance & authority for your site.
- Start link building to build the power of your website.
- Get found on Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
Narrow in on the top ranking factors to get results FAST
After having worked with numerous companies across Brisbane & and having somewhat of a track record of successfully ranking websites for keywords geographically related to Brisbane, we have found the following 3 factors to be critical for success.
Having done this for a very long time gives us insider knowledge of the rules that really matter...
We have found the following 3 factors proven to consistently matter the most when it comes to attaining search engine rankings.
SIDE NOTE: It all depends on your baseline... have you got a quality & optimised website? Do you have backlinks, do you have content that gives your website or landing page theme relevance?
However, all things being equal, the following 3 ranking factors matter most when doing SEO in Brisbane:
1) Proximity to the city centre
This right here (image below) is smack bang in the middle of the Brisbane CBD:


Having a Google My Business as close to the city centre is a competitive advantage.
A bonus to this is the ability to power up your local relevance and site relevance with citations (business listing) in a natural way.
Learn more about our Local SEO Services for Brisbane companies.
2) Site Quality & Relevance
This is literally what all algorithm updates in the past 5 years have tried to address.
How relevant is your website to the keyword rankings you are trying to achieve?
It's all about having content pillars across your website to build topical relevance while still maintaining site quality.
And of course, getting the basics like your meta tags, descriptions, and H tags right.
SIDE NOTE: SEO isn't about getting all aspects right. It's about the ability to target the areas that get the best result. Not only does this make things more affordable for you, but maximises your profits at the same time.
3) Site Authority
This was, is and will always be one of Google's algorithm's core ranking factors.
How many backlinks do you have from other relevant websites?
Getting this right could be the difference between a top spot on Google and getting found.
Domain age and other things do come into play... but the fact that we have repeatedly ranked new websites with quality links proves just how much links still matter (anyone that tells you differently probably isn't worth their salt in SEO)
Website & SEO Services Brisbane
We have a variety of solutions available. While the majority of clients need a full-service solution, we can also provide a combination of services to achieve the outcomes you are after.

All of our SEO services follow Google's guidelines and best practices.

Web Development
Our web developers can help you with all the technical SEO stuff such as URL structures and those technical host issues you may have with your hosting; as well as general support to improve overall website performance.
Our SEO Services Guarantee
We set goals, KPIs and deliverables for every campaign - these are in place in order to keep us accountable and get the results you deserve.
While No.1 rankings are not guaranteed (no one can), having accountability like this in place gives you the guarantee that we will deliver everything we promise in our campaign proposal or we will work for free until we do.
We think this is better than a money-back guarantee, because you know we are actually committed to getting results for you.
We've been doing this long enough that if someone doesn't see the value in a guarantee like this, they are probably not serious about building a long-term relationship with a reputable SEO provider.
This is totally fine, however, those kinds of business owners are not a good fit for the community and family we have built over the years. If you do see the value and it makes sense to have a conversation with us, here's how you can do so.

Your Questions Answered
The growth of Google isn't about to slow down anytime soon, and SEO Brisbane along with it:
- Google is the most visited website by people typing in an array of keywords. It processes over 8 billion searches a day (source: Internet Live Stats, 2022)
- Almost half of all product keyword searches begin on Google.
- 90% of people say they were likely to click on the first set of results (sites) on Google after searching for their keywords (source: Searchengineland, 2018)
HOWEVER!!!
SEO is changing... Social Media plays a more significant part these days.
People will often discover your business or products on Facebook or Instagram first, and then SEO serves as the conversion point!
It's important to remember this... while this isn't as important for local-based businesses, it is 100% relevant for eCommerce SEO and National companies.
The other thing is... SEO is constantly changing.
Many SEO specialists don't understand how Google's algorithm has evolved and proclaimed, "SEO is dead". However, the exact opposite is true. For those who understand how to rank a website, it's still the most incredible gold mine since the inception of the Yellow Pages for business owners.
We have stand-alone SEO packages which you can learn more about on our SEO Services page.
Or you can get in touch with our team and discuss a full SEO campaign.
The answer to this question is very similar to the above question.
Check out our full answer on our SEO pricing page. However, the quick answer to this question is as follows:
Local SEO prices usually start at $995/month (larger, more competitive suburbs will be more). Major City / National / International SEO campaigns start at $2,000 per month to $10,000+ per month. A one-time consultation starts at $5,000 and execution of findings by a qualified SEO expert is charged at $150+GST/hour.
SEO is all about trust and meeting expectations.
If you've been ripped off, the SEO company may have broken this golden rule.

Speak to our Brisbane SEO experts to identify the link building your campaign requires to rank in Google search results.
In short, the link push required to show up in search results comes down to 3 phases:
Our approach to SEO services in Brisbane employs white hat, technical SEO & link building. These are SEO practices Google encourages (unlike black hat SEO used by many SEO companies).
And on a side note: many Digital Agencies we've seen don't provide reports on their work like the report you'll get from us each month because they are scared to report on shady techniques and links (if any even get built...).
Whatever helps us increase website traffic, repeat visitors and increase success for clients.
We have access to and utilise all the basic tools such as Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog etc.
Keeping in mind these are the general tools, we also have access to in-house developed SEO tools that help us understand more advanced things like user intent, topic clustering and analysis of queries to help us make educated decisions.
While we'd like to say Websites That Sell was one of the first in the game, this isn't true. Don't get us wrong... our founder, David Krauter, launched his very first website in 2007... however, our company wasn't established until 2013. Having said this, the first internet connection across major cities in Australia (including Brisbane) was launched in 1989. A few years later, Google launched in the US in 1995. Then, finally, in December 2022, Google.com.au was born, and with it, Search Engine Optimisation for Brisbane companies. Back then, it was the wild west, and keywords such as "Search Engine Optimisation Company" would have been foreign to most local companies. However, just a few short years later, business owners started catching on, and now SEO Brisbane is one of the most competitive industries to rank in.
