Why do you start with an assessment instead of just quoting?

Because an SEO quote written before anyone has looked at your site is a guess. The assessment shows whether search is even your bottleneck — sometimes the traffic is fine and the site is not converting it. We would rather tell you that than sell you a retainer you do not need.

How long before we see ranking changes?

Technical fixes can show within weeks; content and authority work generally take months. Anyone naming a fixed timeframe before seeing your site is guessing. The audit tells you which of the two you are dealing with.

We already had an agency do SEO for a year. Why would this be different?

We start by auditing what that year actually produced — what changed, what moved, and what did not. If the previous work was sound, we say so. The point is a diagnosis, not a replacement retainer.

Do you do the fixes as well, or just the audit?

Both are available, and the audit commits you to neither. Plenty of clients take the roadmap to their own developer — it is written to be handed over.

Is SEO worth it for a small Melbourne business?

It depends on whether your customers search for what you do. For some trades and local services it is the highest-return channel available; for others, referral or paid works better. The assessment answers that before you spend.

Probably not if ✗

What's Included

Everything our SEO audit delivers

Technical Site Audit

We crawl your site the way a search engine does — indexation, redirects, page speed, structured data, mobile rendering — and list every issue keeping pages from ranking.

Local & Google Business Profile Review

We check how you show up in Melbourne local search: profile completeness, categories, citations, reviews, and the map-pack signals your competitors use and you do not.

Content Gap Analysis

We compare what your customers search for against what your site actually answers, then map the pages and topics missing between the two.

Why this matters

Common problems we solve

“We rank on page 5 and don’t know why”

Ranking is the symptom. The audit finds the cause — usually a mix of technical blockers, thin pages, and missing local signals — and tells you which is holding you back most.

“An agency did SEO for a year, nothing changed”

We audit what that year produced before proposing anything. Often the work was real but aimed at the wrong pages, or it reported activity rather than outcomes.

“We don’t know if SEO is even the right spend”

A fair question, and the assessment answers it first. If your customers are not searching, we will say so and point at the channel that fits.

How It Works

Our SEO audit process

Crawl & Diagnose

We crawl the site, pull Search Console and analytics data, and check your local presence — establishing what is wrong before anyone talks tactics.

Written Findings

You get the findings in writing: what is broken, what it is costing you in visibility, and what is already fine and should be left alone.

Prioritised Roadmap

Every finding is ordered by impact against effort, so you know what to fix first — whether we do the work or your own team does.

Next Step

Every recommendation is tailored to your business.

We don't price blind. What you need — and what it costs — depends on what your assessment finds, not a fixed package.
