What SEO does
What SEO Should Do for Your Business?
SEO is the work of making your website show up on Google and Bing when people search for what you sell. Done well, it brings in customers who are already looking, and you don’t pay for each click.
The test is simple. After a few months, more of the right people should find you, and more of them should ring, book or fill in a form. If a report only shows rankings and traffic, ask what they turned into.

Our process
What We Do Each Month?
Every month has a written scope, so you can check it against what we delivered.
Fix technical issues
Starting with the ones costing you the most traffic.
Improve or publish new pages
Aimed at searches that lead to sales.
Update your Google Business Profile
And keep new reviews coming in.
Earn quality links
From relevant Melbourne and industry websites.
Check your tracking
So every call and form submission gets counted.
One clear monthly report
And we talk you through it.
Real results
What You’ll See in Your Report
No jargon wall. Every report covers:
- Enquiries from search: calls, form submissions and bookings
- Revenue or estimated value, where you can share it with us
- Rankings for the searches that matter to your business, not a list of easy wins
- What we did, what we’re doing next and what isn’t working
If a month goes badly, you’ll hear it from us first, with the fix.

Timeline
How Long Does SEO Take?
Month 1
Audit, tracking and the first technical fixes.
Months 2 to 3
New and improved pages go live. Less competitive searches often move first.
Months 4 to 6
Most campaigns show clearer gains in rankings and enquiries.
Months 7 to 12
The gains build on each other.
Competitive searches take longer. Nobody can promise a date, and we won’t.
Pricing
What Does SEO Cost in Melbourne?
Most Melbourne small businesses pay between $1,500 and $3,500 a month for ongoing SEO. Competitive industries like legal, finance and dental often pay more. Simple single-location campaigns can cost less. One-off audits and site fixes are usually priced as projects.
Be careful with quotes far below that range. Under about $1,000 a month, there usually isn’t enough budget to cover technical work, content and links together. Also ask for the scope in writing. Two agencies can quote the same monthly fee and deliver very different amounts of work.

Do the maths
Is SEO Worth It? Do the Maths
Use your own numbers in this formula:
Monthly search visits × enquiry rate × close rate × average sale
Example only: 1,000 visits a month, 3% enquire (30 enquiries), 30% of those become customers (9 customers), at $800 each. That’s $7,200 a month from search.
Compare that to what you’d pay in Google Ads for the same visits. Ads stop the moment you stop paying. Rankings keep working while you build on them. If the maths doesn’t work for your business, we’ll tell you.

Honest advice
When SEO Isn’t the Right First Move
We’d rather say it now than after you’ve paid us.
You need leads this week
SEO builds over months. Run Google Ads while it gets going.
Your website can’t convert visitors
More traffic to a slow or confusing site wastes money. Fix the site first.
Nobody searches for what you sell
If demand isn’t there, SEO can’t create it. We’ll look at other channels.
Industries
SEO for Melbourne Industries
Restaurants, Cafes and Hospitality
Rank for searches like “restaurants in Richmond” and “function venue Melbourne”, with menu and booking pages that load fast on a phone. For us, bookings are covers.
Trades and Home Services
Service pages by suburb and job type, built to get the phone ringing. We measure calls and quote requests, not clicks.
Health and Allied Health
Pages for each treatment and condition your patients search for, plus reviews and bookings. We take care with claims, including AHPRA advertising rules.
Professional Services
Credible pages for law firms, accountants and consultants, with named experts, case studies and reporting tied to leads.
We’re based in Melbourne and work with clients across Australia.

SEO Melbourne FAQs
How much does SEO cost in Melbourne?
Most small businesses pay between $1,500 and $3,500 a month. Competitive industries pay more. The free report shows which scope fits your business.
Is an SEO agency worth it?
It is if customers search for what you sell and your website can turn visitors into enquiries. Use the maths above with your own numbers. If it doesn’t add up, we’ll tell you.
How long does SEO take to work?
Most campaigns show movement in 3 to 6 months. Competitive searches take longer. We report progress every month against goals we agree upfront.
Who is the best SEO agency in Melbourne?
It depends on your industry, budget and how much you want to be involved. Ask each agency for a written monthly scope, real client results and a report sample. We’re built for small and medium businesses that want results tied to enquiries and revenue.
Can you guarantee first-page rankings?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. Nobody controls Google. We can promise clear work, honest reporting and goals tied to your business.
What’s the difference between SEO and Google Ads?
Ads give you fast visibility, but stop when your budget stops. SEO takes longer and keeps working. Many businesses run both.
Does SEO still matter with AI search?
Yes. AI tools draw on the same web content, and Google’s AI Overviews use its search results. Strong SEO also helps you show up in AI answers. See our AI SEO service.
