Search & automation · Melbourne, VIC
Someone in Melbourne is searching right now.
Not for you by name. For the thing you do, in the suburb you do it in. Whoever turns up first takes the call, and across Melbourne it tends to be the same handful of businesses every time.
Being better at the job doesn’t decide that. Being findable does.
How big the search is
22,650 searches a month in Melbourne.
That is one keyword group in one city: people in Melbourne looking for an agency to do this kind of work. It is the demand for our trade, not yours, and it is here to show you the scale of what a single Melbourne search category carries.
Your trade has its own version of that number in Melbourne. The audit measures it against your actual site, so you are looking at your demand and your share of it, not a figure borrowed from someone else’s industry.
What people ask first
Before you ring anyone.
The five that come up most, answered the way we would answer them on the phone.
What does SEO cost in Melbourne?
Australian agencies that publish their prices mostly sit between 800 and 3,000 dollars a month, and the work sold under about 1,000 is usually automated. We do not quote before the audit. A number given without looking at your site is a guess with a dollar sign on it.
How long before it does anything?
Three to six months before rankings move, and six to twelve before it shows up as enquiries you can count. Anyone promising faster is either guessing or selling paid ads with the label changed, and paid ads are a fair answer if you need the phone ringing sooner.
Do you work with my competitors in Melbourne?
We take on a small number of businesses at a time. Ask before you start and we will tell you whether we already work with someone in your trade near you, because you are entitled to know that before you hand over your numbers.
Who actually does the work?
A person in Sydney. The audit is read and written by a human rather than produced by a tool, and there is no overseas team behind it. You get the name of the person doing it.
If we stop working together, what do I keep?
All of it. The site, the Google listing, the ad account, the tracking and every login sit in your name from the first day and keep working after we stop. We do not hold logins, and we do not charge to hand anything back.
Where to start
Find out where you sit.
Give us your web address. We check your site page by page, price the organic traffic you are missing in dollars, and run one live query to see whether AI assistants name your business when someone asks for a business like yours in Melbourne.
We take on a small number of businesses at a time, and only when the audit says your numbers can be moved. Most of the ones we work with came through someone they already trust. So the audit is as much us checking whether we can help as it is you checking us. What it costs comes after that, never before.
Free. A straight answer either way.
