FAQs

SEO questions, answered without the sales pitch.

The questions Australian business owners actually ask us, including the ones with uncomfortable answers.

Common questions

How long does SEO take?

Technical fixes can move things within weeks. Competitive terms usually take three to six months. Full breakdown here: how long SEO takes in Australia.

Can you guarantee position one?

No, and neither can anyone else. Search engines control rankings. What can be promised is the work, the reasoning behind it, and honest reporting from your own data.

What does it cost?

It depends on site size, competition, starting condition and scope. We quote after reading the site rather than before. See how we price.

Is the free growth plan really free?

Yes. No card, no deposit, and no trial that converts into a subscription. The plan is written so your own developer or another agency could act on it.

How do I choose between SEO agencies?

Ask what is wrong with your site before you pay, where reporting comes from, and who owns the accounts. Full list of questions: how to choose an SEO agency.

Should I do SEO or Google Ads?

Ads work today and stop when you stop paying. SEO takes months and keeps working. Full comparison: SEO vs Google Ads.

Do I need to sign a contract?

No lock in. Scope is agreed in writing for each engagement, and nothing is added without asking you first.

Will I lose my rankings if we redesign?

You can, and many businesses do. It is avoidable with proper URL mapping and redirects planned before launch. See SEO migration.

Does SEO still matter if AI answers the question?

It matters differently. AI assistants still pull from indexed pages, so being crawlable, clearly structured and identifiable as a real entity now decides whether you get cited. See AI search visibility.

Can I do this myself?

Some of it, yes. The free plan is deliberately written so you can. Most owners stop not because it is too hard but because it is slow and never becomes urgent.

What happens if I leave?

Content, pages and accounts stay in your name. You take everything with you.
