Frequently Asked Questions
How does SEO actually work?
SEO works by improving how search engines understand and rank your website. This includes technical optimisation, content relevance, and authority signals such as backlinks and brand mentions, all aligned with user search intent.
How long does SEO take to work?
SEO is a long-term strategy. Most businesses start seeing measurable improvements within 3 to 6 months, depending on competition, website condition, and industry. Sustainable growth continues over time as authority and relevance increase.
Is SEO worth it for small businesses?
Yes, SEO is one of the most effective channels for generating consistent, high-intent leads. For small businesses in Melbourne, local SEO can drive targeted traffic and enquiries without relying solely on paid advertising.
How much does an SEO consultant in Melbourne Cost?
Pricing depends on scope. Strategy sessions start from $500. Ongoing consulting is quoted per project, not locked into long retainers. Expect transparency – no hidden fees.
What's the difference between a consultant and and agency?
You work directly with me, not account managers or juniors. Faster decisions, clearer communication, and accountability you can trust. No layers, no runaround.
Do you provide technical support?
Yes. Technical SEO is core to what I do – site speed, indexing issues, schema markup, crawl optimisation, and more. I either fix it directly or guide your developers.
Can you train my team or provide SEO coaching?
Absolutely. Many clients want to build internal capability. I offer training sessions and ongoing coaching to help your team understand and execute SEO effectively.
What happens in a strategy session
We review your site, discuss your goals, and I explain what’s holding you back. You leave with clarity on next steps – whether you hire me or not.
