AFFORDABLE SMALL BUSINESS SEO SERVICES

We are regularly asked this question by people that are fed up with poor performing SEO firms in Brisbane and throughout Australia. Why? So often they have put their trust two or three so-called “SEO experts” who have promised high rankings, but their performance ends up being quite poor. The frustration gets compounded when the communication starts off being great, generally with the salesperson, but, after months, it fades away to the point where calls aren’t being returned, project managers aren’t available, and email communication is virtually non-existent. Is this all starting to sound familiar?

Often business owners are shocked when we go in and analyse the work which was done by other agencies. It is not uncommon to see poor quality backlinks pointing to websites, low backlink volume, and spammy or even porn website links, and the website owner has been with them for years! When we see these kinds of things, it makes us realise that we are so different. Here are a few reasons why we stand out from the bunch.

First off, we always ensure that we start your project with a custom-made plan that is based on solid research and integrates our proprietary ranking techniques. There is no guess or using unproven methodologies. We know what websites need to rank high on Google, and we know what Google wants.

The second point is that far too many firms are using black hat techniques, which is a breach of Googles terms and conditions. These techniques can be built quickly and are incredibly cheap to implement. The downside is that Google determines this to be gaming the system, and if discovered, can lead to your website being penalised in the search engines. We use white hat techniques that safely comply with Googles guidelines.

Another aspect which our clients like, and that makes us different is that we don’t use any kind of contract. We find that our customers get meaningful and positive experiences through our interactions and results, so we do not feel that a contract of any sort is required. As our ranking techniques involve tasks that can cross over several months, our clients understand that if they want to pause and stop their campaigns, that 30 days’ notice is reasonable.

We are called Brisbane SEO Experts for a good reason, and our performance backs up our claim. In addition, our claim is supported by a growing list of clients who value their relationships with us and benefit from the results that we achieve for them on an ongoing basis.

We start by auditing your website to fix any concerns and issues which may be holding down in the rankings. We want to make sure that we can get a scan or clean crawl and that Google is not devaluing your website in any way. Once the audit process is complete, we then optimise your site for the agreed target keywords or phrases. Then we move onto building overall website authority by implementing our manual backlinking strategies and processes.

In simple terms, a backlink is when another website links to yours. This essentially means that another site is giving a vote of confidence or endorsing your website. Backlinks are the lifeblood of a good SEO strategy and are well-known as one of the most significant components of the Google ranking algorithm. Provided everything else is correct, the more quality backlinks and signals that you show to Google, the higher your website is likely to rank.

Building backlinks must be done carefully and in accordance with Goggles terms of conditions, or you risk having your site penalised. Therefore, it goes without saying, an SEO expert should only perform this process.

We recommend being wary of any agency which guarantees top to achieve top Google rankings. Agencies that make this promise are going against Googles guidelines, and to be frank with you, there is no way someone can guarantee #1 rankings. We can offer better than a promise; instead, we can show you, upon request, the # 1 results that we have achieved for our customers, both past and present. Better still, every single one of our clients enjoys stable rankings at the top of the search engines for a large number of high traffic keyword phrases.

Our proven proprietary ranking techniques achieve tremendous results for our clients every day. However, even when successfully implementing our industry-leading internet marketing strategies, we can’t ethically guarantee ranking results, nobody can.

Obviously, there are many factors involved in answering this question. The search engine optimisation techniques that we offer generally takes around 9 to 12 months to see decent results, depending upon the competition levels. If you have a brand-new website, then it is more challenging as more work is required to catch up and overtake your competitors. Therefore, new sites typically take closer to the 1-year mark to gain high search engine rankings, as they need to build trust with Google before the search engine ranks them on page 1.

However, for many businesses who have existing websites, they already have keywords ranked somewhere in the top 5 pages, and just need to achieve higher Google rankings on page one. Depending on various factors, it can take anywhere from 4 months to 8 months if the backlinks are high quality and well established.

During these periods, most of our clients enjoy the fact that their website is bringing in quality leads and making a real difference to their business success. For this reason, they typically continue to engage our services on an ongoing basis as they realise that there is a good return on investment.

One thing is for sure is that no two businesses alike. Every website and niche has its own challenges, and every business has unique goals and marketing strategies that they want to implement. It is essential to understand that search engine optimisation, no matter which company performs it, is a long-term investment, a marathon rather than a sprint.

For those clients who need immediate results, we can offer Google AdWords Management. This service enables clients to get leads to their business right away until SEO takes shape.

Seeing incremental fluctuations with your Google rankings, both up and down is normal. While this can be frustrating for some business owners new to search engine optimisation, this is a part of Googles ranking algorithm. During this process, Google is comparing your website strength and on-page elements to that of your competitors, visiting your website every few days to re-evaluate. Over time, your website rankings will level out and to the point where they hold the position for longer as we continue to build more backlinks and increase the authority of your website.

That’s a good question and one which people ask quite regularly. There are two main components to effective website marketing. In the first step, we focus on fully optimising the website (called on-page), which incorporates over 35 factors that Google considers crucial to their algorithm, including page titles, inner URL names, heading tags, and more. We typically will need the WordPress login details for your website so that we can action the improvement process. To maximise results for our customers, ensuring that the websites on-page elements are correct is a mandatory first step as this builds a robust SEO platform to build on.

The second step (off-page) involves building high-quality and branded backlinks to your website, directory listings, local business citations, social signals, and more, all from quality sources. This step is where our proprietary ranking formulas come into their own. It is a fact that our white hat ranking techniques have been responsible for transforming average websites into sales and lead generating machines, and our clients couldn’t be happier.

We find that many companies who initially contact us are interested in our SEO services. But, as we work together with them, we discover that they are also looking for additional assistance. Typically, business owners don’t have a dedicated webmaster or website expert at their company who understand the possible problems that can arise with managing a website. Therefore, our pricing usually factors in some website maintenance functions at no additional cost. When a website is not displaying correctly, when the load speed is slow, when your pages and images need updating, you can rely on our team to help you without the worry of having to pay for small updates every time.

We offer a full-service internet marketing solution, which includes full website design services to Australian based businesses, which is why our customers can rely on us no matter what their online marketing needs are.

It depends on the competitiveness of your industry. By this, we mean how many other businesses in your niche either have done previously or are currently doing online marketing. With some sectors, an online marketing blast of 3 to 6 months may be enough to gain some market share, and then allow you to pause your campaign. Other industries are continually paying attention to their SEO to stay ahead of their competitors. This includes researching and optimising for best keyword phrases, improving user experiences, identifying new buying trends, and aggressively building backlinks every week. Examples of these industries include cosmetic and plastic surgery, lawyers, dental, building trades, automotive, and medical.

The monthly cost ultimately depends on how much work is needed to reach your desired Google rankings or marketing goals. Whether your sector is eCommerce, Australia-wide, or Local SEO, we consider many factors when developing a customised quote. Some of those factors include what you want to achieve, whether your website accurately showcases your products or services, the competitiveness of your market, and much more. You can rest assured our proposals will target exactly what you need and nothing that you don’t. Therefore, you won’t find any “package deals” with us, as each website and customer needs are often quite different.

We don’t believe in locking anyone into long-term binding contracts for any of our online marketing services. Everything that we do is month to month, but some of the best results are achieved when we implement a strategy over several months. We always stand behind the quality of our work and believe that clients should have the freedom to choose when and which service provider they use.
