SEO Agency Sydney
hands-on, senior,
no lock-ins.

17 years of search experience. One senior consultant who audits, plans, and implements personally — no account managers, no junior hand-offs. Early wins in 4–8 weeks. Plain-English reporting. A 90-day plan you can actually follow.

Senior consultant, no juniors Month-to-month Sydney + Australia-wide
02 Why this exists

Most Sydney agencies bury pricing, route you through account managers, and lock you into twelve-month contracts.

Built to be the opposite: published prices, the senior consultant on every call, a one-month notice period from day one. Not a revolutionary thesis — just a model the market hasn't been offering enough of.

You work with the person who audits, plans, and implements. We explain what changed, why it mattered, and what's next. A compact Sydney operation you can reach when you need us.

05 How we work

A predictable rhythm. No bait-and-switch.

Same process for every engagement. The pitch matches the working reality.

Audit & prioritise

Baseline technical, content, local, authority. Stack-ranked by impact vs effort. Loom walkthrough delivered with the report.

Ship quick wins

Titles, meta, internal links, GBP tidy-ups, speed fixes. Movement you can feel in 4–8 weeks, not 4–8 months.

Lay foundations

Information architecture, structured data, briefs, suburb and service pages, conversion basics. The base everything else compounds on.

Review & iterate

Plain-English monthly reporting. Rolling 90-day roadmap. If the data says pivot, we pivot — not at the next quarterly business review.

Composite case notes — typical outcomes, not cherry-picked.

08 Common questions

The things people actually ask.

How much does SEO cost per month for a small business in Sydney? +

Realistic engagements for a Sydney small business start around $1,800–$3,200/month. Below $1,500/month you're typically getting templated work or junior labour; above $5,000/month you're paying for complexity (multi-location, ecommerce scale) or seniority.

The Starter tier sits at $1,800/month — positioned to be the right starting point for a single-location service business that wants senior attention without enterprise pricing.

How long until we see movement? +

Early shifts in non-brand impressions inside 4–8 weeks. First meaningful traffic change at 3–6 months. Durable, compounding gains at 9–12 months. The exact curve depends on niche competitiveness and how fast your dev and content can ship.

Anyone promising material results in 30 days is either over-promising or working in a niche so uncompetitive you didn't need to hire help.

Do you guarantee #1 rankings? +

No. Anyone who does is either misleading you or charging you for vanity outcomes. We focus on qualified traffic, leads, and revenue — durable wins over single-position rankings that move every week.

How do you measure success and report on results? +

Non-brand organic sessions, assisted conversions, first-position keywords (Sydney + Australia geo-segmented), non-brand impressions in Search Console, call tracking where relevant, and AI Mode / LLM citation appearances tracked monthly via DataForSEO.

The dashboard is live. You don't wait for a monthly PDF to know how things are tracking. Monthly we sit down for 60 minutes and walk through what moved, what didn't, and why.

What's different for ecommerce SEO? +

Category and PLP architecture is where the wins are — not throwing more content at thin product pages. Filter and canonical rules to control crawl, Product and Offer schema, scalable on-page patterns for thousands of SKUs, and internal-link architecture between buying guides and category pages.

For Shopify and WooCommerce specifically: faceted-nav fixes, image compression, and template-level Core Web Vitals work usually move the needle hardest in the first 60 days.

Can you work with our developers or designers? +

Yes. WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, custom stacks — we collaborate with your dev team or, if you don't have one, do the implementation directly. For migrations we protect existing traffic with a redirect map, robots/meta parity checks, schema preservation, and an agreed rollback plan before launch.

Do you do one-off consulting or standalone audits? +

Yes. Standalone audits start at $2,400 — full technical audit plus competitive associative-density map plus reverse-prompt audit of your top 20 URLs plus a 90-day roadmap. Delivered in 10 working days with a written report and 90-minute walkthrough. No obligation to engage afterwards.

Also available: migration plans, content-strategy intensives, and standing monthly consulting if you have in-house implementation capacity.

Do you work across all Sydney suburbs? +

Sydney CBD, Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, Northern Beaches, Hills District, Western Sydney, plus remote support across Australia.

For local engagements we build suburb-level content and Google Business Profile work. For national or international work the geo of your office matters less than your customers' geo, and we'll plan accordingly.

What if we want to leave? +

Thirty days' notice, no exit fee, no claw-back of work done. Full handover: live dashboard access, working files, briefs, audits, and a 60-minute handover call with whoever's taking over.
