Frequently Questions Answered
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.
