SEO Agency Melbourne

Our Prime SEO retainer starts from $2,550 per month, covering strategy for up to 125 targeted keywords, full on-page optimisation, four high-authority backlink placements, technical SEO execution, and GA4 reporting with monthly strategy meetings. The exact scope is confirmed in a written proposal before you commit, so you know precisely what each dollar buys. We do not sell audits that gather dust or lock clients into long contracts to hide slow delivery — the retainer is justified month by month, in the numbers.

Honest answer: it depends on your starting point, and anyone quoting a fixed timeframe before auditing your site is guessing. Our pattern across engagements is consistent — weeks 1–4 produce the diagnosis and a prioritised roadmap; months 2–3 show first movement from technical fixes and quick-win keyword recovery; months 4–9 are where rankings compound into measurable revenue. Every engagement carries a written 90-day, 6-month and 9-month KPI table, so progress is judged against numbers we committed to at the start.

Four continuous workstreams: strategy and opportunity mapping, technical SEO execution, revenue-led page building, and authority placements — the same four systems described above, delivered on a monthly cadence with a formal report and a strategy call. You see every task shipped, every page changed and every link earned. If you have worked with an agency whose monthly report was a ranking screenshot and an invoice, this is the structural opposite.

Because most SEO underperformance has a structural cause that reporting hides. A recent example: a global technology brand came to us after a sustained organic decline that three previous reviews had blamed on content volume. Our diagnosis found the real driver was their own Google Ads bidding on brand keywords, cannibalising organic clicks — a problem invisible to any agency that only looks at SEO data. As a Google Partner managing significant Ads budgets, we audit the paid and organic channels together. We start every engagement by finding the actual constraint, then commit KPIs against fixing it.

No — and you should treat any agency that does as a red flag. Google explicitly warns that no one can guarantee rankings, because no agency controls the algorithm. What we do commit to, in writing, is scope and accountability: named keywords, defined deliverables, a KPI table with 90-day, 6-month and 9-month checkpoints, and monthly reporting transparent enough that you could hand it to our replacement. Twelve years of retained clients — including brands that have stayed with us across multiple markets — is the track record we stand on instead.

Shopify is our default build environment, and our technical work goes well beyond theme-level fixes. Recent engagements have included Combined Listings architecture for multi-variant product lines, collection and URL taxonomy design, canonical governance, migration protection during replatforming, and Google Merchant Center diagnosis for bulk product disapprovals. If your revenue runs through Shopify, we have almost certainly solved your problem before — at scale, for global consumer brands.

The opposite — they raise the stakes. AI Overviews now appear on roughly half of Google searches, and the brands cited inside those answers capture a disproportionate share of the remaining clicks, while everyone else loses visibility even at position one. The work that earns those citations is built on classic SEO foundations: technical health, structured data and genuine authority. Our SEO retainers include this AI-readiness work by default; brands pursuing AI-search visibility as a primary objective can extend into our dedicated GEO programme.

Both, and it is a core strength. We operate bilingually in English and Chinese, and our client work spans consumer-technology leaders building US and Australian organic visibility, European brands, and Australian retailers scaling at home. Cross-market SEO involves problems most local agencies rarely see — hreflang and market-level URL strategy, localisation quality control, market-specific demand sizing — and it is the environment our methodology was built in.
