A quick PSA about SEO

Rankings don't pay the bills. Enquiries do.

Updated November 2026 · 3 minute read

Dear business owner,

Right now, someone in your area is typing what you do into Google. They have their card out. They want it sorted this week.

If you're not in the top three map results or on page one, they never meet you. They call your competitor instead, and you never even know you lost the job.

Why most SEO doesn't work

Maybe you've paid for SEO before. You got a monthly report full of charts, and nothing changed on the phone. That's common, because most agencies:

  • Rank you for words nobody searches, then call it a win.
  • Send a report about "impressions" and "visibility", not enquiries.
  • Buy cheap links that can get your site penalised later.

You can't take rankings to the bank. The only number that matters is how many new clients come from Google each month.

Want to know where you stand? Book a free 30-minute strategy call. We'll review what you have now and give you a plan you can keep.

How we do SEO

  • Local first: your Google Business Profile, reviews and map rankings, because that's where most local buyers click.
  • Pages that sell: every service and suburb gets a page written to rank and to convert.
  • Technical fixes: speed, mobile, indexing and schema, so Google can read your site properly.
  • Real links: from local and industry sites, earned the honest way. No link farms, ever.
  • Tracking: every call and form is tracked, so you see exactly what SEO brings in.

SEO takes 3 to 6 months to build. We'll tell you that up front, and show you progress every month while it does.

What it costs

$1,997 a month, plus a once-off $997 setup fee. So your first month is $2,994, then $1,997 a month after that.

Month to month, no lock-in. And if you don't think we're delivering results, our 30-day money-back guarantee gets you a refund. Only ad spend is excluded.

FAQ

Straight answers before you book a call

How much does it cost?

$1,997 a month, plus a once-off $997 setup fee, so your first month is $2,994. Ad spend (if your plan includes ads) is separate and paid straight to Google or Meta.

How long does SEO take?

Most local businesses see movement in the map pack within 6 to 8 weeks, and steady enquiries in 3 to 6 months. Competitive markets take longer, and we'll tell you that on the call.

Do you guarantee number one rankings?

No honest agency can, because Google decides. What we do back is the work: if you don't think we're delivering, our 30-day money-back guarantee applies.

What if it doesn't work?

We work month to month, with no lock-in. And if you don't think we're delivering results, our 30-day money-back guarantee gets you a refund. Only ad spend is excluded.

Let’s talk

We can take 4 more clients this quarter.
