SEO that gets you found everywhere it counts
Technical SEO & Site Audits
We analyse site speed, crawlability, Core Web Vitals and indexing issues. We repair structural and technical errors, improve schema markup and strengthen your site’s architecture so Google can crawl, understand and reward every page.
Strategy & Keyword Research
We’ll complete the basic competitor analysis and geo strategy every other agency offers. But we’re not like every other agency... we go further by actually calling your customers to uncover topics and content opportunities no one’s targeting, but everyone’s searching for.
Local SEO
We will optimise your Google Business Profile, build trusted citations and focus on location specific keywords, at a city, region & suburb level to reach more customers searching "near me" in your local area.
Onpage Optimisation
We optimise your meta tags, headings, image alt tags, internal link flow, and mobile-first content around the right keywords to precisely match search intent.
People First Content
Google rewards helpful, well-structured content. Our content strategy focuses on building a network of service pages and blogs that answer real customer questions, strengthen topical authority and increase organic visibility. Using natural language processing (NLP) and semantic SEO, we create content that connects contextually to your business, helping you rank in more places and appear in AI overviews.
Link Building & Digital PR
Authority is what separates those websites ranking in the No.1 spot from the rest. We analyse your backlink profile and compare it your top competitors. Then we build high-quality, relevant links through outreach, linkable assets and digital PR. Each link we secure is designed to strengthen your site’s trust signals and accelerate ranking growth; without shortcuts or spammy tactics.

frequently asked questions
SEO is what gets your website to show up in Google when people search for what you do. We fix technical problems on your site, write content around what people are typing into search, and build your credibility so Google puts you above your competitors.
Say you're a plumber on the Gold Coast. Good SEO means that when someone searches "emergency plumber near me" or "blocked drain Gold Coast", you show up instead of your competitors.
We don’t offer fixed-price packages. We believe every business is unique, with its own needs and goals, so our strategists will work with you personally to develop a custom plan that ensures the best results for your business.
SEO costs vary because every business has different needs. A local tradie competing in Burleigh needs a different approach than an e-commerce store shipping Australia-wide.
Our SEO strategists work with you to figure out what your business actually needs, then we create a plan based on your goals and budget, not a one-size-fits-all package.
Having said this, SEO services on the Gold Coast typically range from AUD $277+GST to over AUD $3,000+GST per month.
For hyper-local suburb targeting, for example, Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise, or Ashmore, new businesses can generally expect to see movement within 3–6 months. Established businesses may see results sooner, often within 2–4 months.
However, ranking in the top positions for broader “Gold Coast” terms or other major city keywords is far more competitive and can take 9–12 months or longer, depending on your industry and the strength of your competitors.
SEO brings you traffic without paying for every click. Once you rank, people keep finding you without paying for each visitor. With paid ads, you're renting visibility, and your traffic disappears the moment you stop paying.
If you're a Gold Coast business competing with others in your area, ranking organically means people trust you've earned that spot rather than just paid for it.
Our satellite office is located at 13/50 Cavill Avenue, Surfers Paradise, QLD 4217 - By appointment only at this location. If you’re looking for a marketing agency that truly understands the local area, we offer genuine local knowledge and expertise.
Absolutely! SEO is still one of the most effective ways to get traffic from Google.
AI hasn’t replaced search. Instead, it has been integrated into Google’s search results through features like AI Overviews. This means the way Google displays information is evolving, and SEO strategies need to evolve with it.
People are still using Google every day to find answers, compare services, and choose local businesses. The difference now is that SEO experts must understand how AI-driven results work and optimise content so it appears in both traditional rankings and AI-enhanced search features.
We optimise for how people in your area actually search, including location terms like eg. "Gold Coast electrician" and "near me" searches from locals.
We make sure your Google Business Profile is set up properly, your site mentions the suburbs you serve, and your content answers questions your local customers are asking.
The best thing about having a local team is that we know the Gold Coast inside and out. Because of this, we use local SEO strategies based on Google’s EEAT algorithm that are relevant to the Gold Coast to give your business a digital presence where it matters.
The strategist working with you will make sure to learn everything about your business so the strategy fully supports the most important keywords. They will also do extensive competitor research and review real-world search terms and volume to find the keywords that will deliver ROI for your business.
It can be. The Gold Coast has plenty of businesses competing for the same search terms, especially in trades, real estate, and hospitality.
But competitive doesn't mean you can't win, it just means you need a solid strategy and consistent effort to get results.
Yes, we do. Content marketing and SEO work together - we write content that answers the questions people have before they're ready to buy. By the time they pick up the phone, they already trust you.
