Common questions
Questions, Answered
Straight answers to the things business owners ask before getting started.
Four things and they're better together. Web design, SEO, SEM and paid social advertising. All run in house by the same team. When your website, rankings and ads live under one roof, nothing falls between the cracks.
Senior specialists. No account managers relaying messages. No juniors practising on your budget. When you call, you talk to the person writing the code or building the campaign. It's a small team by design. We'd rather do fewer projects well than stretch across fifty clients nobody's paying attention to.
Yes and that's who we work best with. Most of our clients are small to mid sized Australian businesses, from sole traders to teams of 20 to 30. Being a small senior team ourselves, we're a natural fit for owners who want direct access and honest advice without the overhead of a big agency. You're not getting a junior reading from a playbook. You're getting the people who do the work.
It depends on what you need. Websites start from around $2,400 for a standard business site and scale with complexity. Our website cost estimator gives you a realistic range in about sixty seconds. Ongoing SEO, ads and paid social are scoped to your goals, market and budget. We publish honest pricing ranges on every service page and scope properly after a discovery call. No hidden fees, no vague "packages" designed to confuse you.
There's no universal answer, but there are patterns. A new business with no organic presence usually needs to lean heavier on ads early while SEO builds. An established business with traffic but no conversions might need a website overhaul before spending another dollar on ads. Our marketing budget allocator gives you a recommended split based on your business type, goals and stage of growth.
No. Ongoing services run month to month. If we stop delivering, you leave. That's the deal. We don't need a twelve month lock in to prove we're worth keeping. Results do that.
Paid ads can drive leads within days. A website build runs four to eight weeks. SEO is the one that takes patience. Most businesses see meaningful movement within three to six months, with results compounding from there. Our SEO timeline estimator breaks it down by industry if you want a clearer picture. Anyone promising page one in thirty days is either lying or targeting keywords nobody searches.
Sometimes a site needs a full website development project from scratch. But plenty of the time, targeted improvements to speed, structure, content or conversion paths fix the problem without starting over. We'll audit your site and tell you which makes sense. If a $2,000 fix gets you 80% of the result, we'll say that, even when a $15,000 rebuild would be more profitable for us.
We're Melbourne based at 152 Elizabeth Street, but we work with businesses across Australia and internationally. SEO, ads and web builds don't need you in the same postcode. We work across a range of industries from trades and healthcare to ecommerce and professional services. That said, we know the Melbourne market deeply because we're in it and plenty of our clients are local businesses who walked in off Elizabeth Street.
SEO builds visibility over time through content, technical improvements and authority. You earn the ranking, but it takes months. Google Ads puts you at the top of the page immediately, but you pay for every click. Most businesses do well with both. Ads for immediate leads while SEO compounds in the background. Our PPC vs SEO cost comparison tool shows how the numbers play out for your industry if you're not sure where to start.
Yes. We manage Google search campaigns and paid social across Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn. If you're weighing up what to spend, our Google Ads budget estimator shows what a realistic monthly budget looks like for your industry and location. Often the best results come from combining search ads with social ads, both pointed at a landing page built to convert.
Start with the basics. Are you tracking actual leads, calls and sales, or just clicks and impressions? A high click through rate means nothing if those clicks aren't converting. Our Google Ads audit scorecard checks your setup across tracking, structure, keywords and optimisation in a few minutes. If your current provider can't show you cost per lead by campaign, that's worth questioning.
