SEO Gold Coast.
Reach your ideal customers and clients through Google with expert Gold Coast SEO.
We back brands big and small:
a Full-Service Approach to SEO.
Most SEO agencies have the same approach:
They push SEO as the best channel for your business – without reviewing all possible options.
They chew up thousands in budget each month – but only measure themselves on things like keyword positions, not hard financial metrics.
They promise innovation – and deliver mediocrity.
We take a different path.
Holistic marketing strategies that only include SEO when it makes sense.
Clear KPIs that include net new revenue and marketing ROI.
And an approach that blends frontier tactics with principles we’ve validated across more than 24 years of SEO.

Solutions for your business.
Our comprehensive solution is designed to achieve the following:
SEO Content Writing.
You’ve seen bad SEO content writing before.
(You know, stuffed with keywords and almost unreadable.)
And you’ve seen mediocre writing too – readable, but almost offensively bland and boring.
Our SEO content is the opposite.
Each asset we create must meet 4 simple requirements:
It must add value by educating, entertaining and/or inspiring your ideal buyers. Above all, it must be interesting.
It must feature information gain – some new piece of information that other search results don’t have.
It must be well-written and logically structured.
It must help your ideal customers progress towards a purchase decision.
It’s the kind of writing that Google rewards – the kind that helps move your site up to the first page for competitive keywords.

Local SEO for Gold Coast
Businesses.
Businesses.
Ranking for keywords like ‘seo gold coast’ or ‘electrician gold coast’ isn’t just about good on-page SEO.
Imagine you’re Google.
How do you tell a genuinely local business from a large corporation with similar website content?
Answer: off-site signals like local citations, Google Business Profiles, and social media profiles.
Each one of those signals is like a thread that connects your business to the Gold Coast.
The more threads there are, the stronger your rope is, and the higher Google will rank your site for localised searches.
We’ve helped more than 200 Gold Coast-based businesses drive revenue through local SEO – and we can do the same for you.
Gold Coast-Based
Digital PR.
Digital PR.
Think of your website like a spark in the vast wilderness of Google.
Digital PR is the process of building that spark into a bonfire – a beacon of light that draws your ideal customers in from all directions.
It’s about getting backlinks and mentions from other sites in your industry.
Getting featured in media outlets to reach new audiences.
Building partnerships with influencers and thought leaders.
Yes, Google takes notice of all those offsite signals – but digital PR is worth engaging in for its own sake, not just because it helps boost your site’s rankings.
Specialised Technical SEO.
Great SEO content can’t win in isolation.
It needs to be built on a strong technical foundation – a fast site with a logical structure and no major errors.
But, sometimes, that’s easier said than done.
A plugin can clash with your site’s code, causing redirection loops on every page.
A stray robots.txt tag can block key pages from being indexed by Google.
A domain migration gone wrong can halve your traffic – and your revenue.
As a Gold Coast agency with both in-house SEOs and developers, we can diagnose and solve even the most complex technical SEO problems, clearing the way for your content to do its work.

SEO Gold Coast FAQs.
How much should I pay someone for SEO?
The cost of SEO varies based on the vendor and the pricing model. Ahrefs, one of the top SEO software companies in the world, conducted a 2024 survey of SEO providers globally (freelancers, consultants and agencies).
It found that, in the US, Canada and the United Kingdom, the most common monthly retainer was US$2,500–5,000 (around AU$3,850–7,700 per month). The next most popular retainer band was US$1,000–1,500 (around AU$1,540–2,300 per month). The most common hourly rate was US$75–100 (around AU$115–155 per hour), followed by US$100–150 (AU$155–230 per hour).
On average, agencies charged more than consultants and freelancers, providers with over 5 years of experience charged more than double those with less than 2 years of experience, and worldwide SEO costs more than local SEO.
So, as a Gold Coast-based SMB aiming to rank in local results (for example, ‘family lawyer gold coast’ or ‘pest control gold coast’), you can expect to pay around AU$1,540–2,300 per month.
Who is the best SEO in Australia?
No-one is the ‘best’ SEO in Australia. It’s a bit like asking ‘who is the best doctor in Australia’. Different SEOs have different strengths – a technical SEO specialist, for example, won’t necessarily be great at designing a sustainable content strategy. Similarly, an enterprise SEO expert may not have the local SEO experience to rank well with a small budget.
When you’re looking for an SEO, find a provider that has experience in your vertical or a related niche. It’s also important to think about provider–brand fit. Just like different doctors are right for different people, you need an SEO that matches your selection criteria. For example, a leading SEO agency might deliver excellent results – but, if you’re working with a lean budget, they might not be appropriate for you.
Is local SEO worth it?
Your SEO costs will fall into 5 different buckets:
- Strategy and governance
- Content creation
- Technical optimisation
- Digital PR
- Reporting and operations.
As a general rule of thumb, the bulk of your SEO budget should be allocated to content creation. That’s the main recurring cost for local SMBs. You’ll also need to invest in ongoing digital PR, which involves building trust and brand awareness through offsite activities like backlink acquisition and media features.
Most technical work, on the other hand, occurs at the start of an engagement. Your SEO agency will normally spend time identifying and correcting any suboptimal technical aspects; after that initial round of ‘fixing’, they’ll typically focus on maintenance. Finally, strategy, governance, reporting and operations will take up a relatively small percentage (15–20%) of your budget.
Keep in mind that you may have associated marketing costs that won’t technically come out of your SEO budget. For example, your SEO agency might recommend that you rebuild an old or poorly constructed website – most of which wouldn’t be an SEO cost per se.
It’s one reason why many Gold Coast businesses prefer to work with a full-service agency like us; you pay a fixed retainer each month, and we deploy that budget to get the best marketing results possible. That’s a lot simpler than trying to assign costs to different budgets or coordinate a stable of different vendors.
What kind of businesses do you work with?
Yes, local SEO is ‘worth it’ for most local businesses. Localised queries – like ‘plumber gold coast’ or ‘small business accountant gold coast’ – normally have a high level of buying intent and are less competitive than national or global queries.
If you ranked in first place for the keyword ‘plumber gold coast’, for example, you’d get around 800 clicks per month from high-intent visitors who want to hire a plumber now. On the other hand, if you got that same number of clicks through Google Ads, you’d pay around $27 per click – that’s $21,600 per month.
