Why Choose Websites That Sell Over Any Other SEO Company In Melbourne?

We know how the Melbourne region & market affects SEO.
Melbourne is predicted to be Australia’s largest city in 2033-34, with an estimated population of 6.4 million (Invest Victoria). The state Government has also expressed positivity about the economy's growth, stating that compared to other states, Victoria continues to set the standard for economic vitality.

We have found that knowing SEO isn’t enough to tap into Melbourne's projected growth. You also have to understand Melbourne's geo and demographic influence.

People searching for companies or service providers that service all of Melbourne use the keyword “Melbourne” as the geographical identifier. However, we have found this changes for more localised services. For example, even if a company services all of Melbourne East, our data and experience show that Melburnians prefer to search on a suburban level like Ringwood, Doncaster or Glen Waverley when finding a business locally on Google.

Having this type of experience and market data is what makes us one of the best SEO companies to scale your business in Melbourne.
We've worked with companies like yours before.
We have worked with various businesses across all regions of Melbourne and understand the search behaviour of different industries and areas, such as Inner Melbourne, the Northern/Southern/Western suburbs and Bayside.

We have a strong track record of getting positive ROI from SEO campaigns because we understand when to prioritise cities vs suburbs across regional Victoria, outer Melbourne and the CBD.

Knowing Melbourne and its landmarks like the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Federation Square or Southern Cross Station isn’t enough; we get results because we are specialists across various industries because we previously worked with roofer, painters, plumbers, electricians, finance, tourism, education, hospitality, health, retails & SAAS companies to name a few.

With 7+ years of SEO content experience and a background in marketing, I've developed content strategies that generate real results for clients in highly competitive and niche landscapes.

One example is when I increased organic impressions by over 172k and generated over 1000 clicks across only three semantically briefed content pieces for a client in the healthcare industry within a 4-week period.

Getting pages to rank, generate high levels of traffic, and age well (rank longer) is my speciality.

My methodology focuses on semantic content clustering, strategic use of link equity and user intent mapping, which I have developed through the Australian SEO Academy and the Topical Authority Course.

SEO Services Proven To Work In Melbourne

We have found that every campaign requires a different marketing approach to succeed. Our agency can provide a fully managed, multi-channel campaign or stand-alone SEO services. The following are the strategies we have found to get good results and high return on investment for companies operating in Melbourne: 

Local SEO

Local SEO strategies, such as optimising your Google Business Profile and focusing on location-specific keywords, are necessary for businesses looking to attract customers in Melbourne.

Our local SEO services help you rank in the Maps Pack and reach customers in specific suburbs such as Richmond, St Kilda, Brunswick, South Yarra or wherever your business operates.

eCommerce SEO

eCommerce SEO involves optimising your products and category pages while building a content engine to attract more new and repeat customers to your store.

Our eCommerce SEO service will help your website rank on the search engine results page, on Google Shopping, and in the recommended products section of Google’s generative AI experience.

On-page Optimisation

On-page optimisation includes basic optimisations such as meta tags, H tags, headings and images.

This method of optimising a website's content builds theme relevance, which we have found to still be a significant ranking factor in the algorithm in 2025.

Technical SEO Audits

Our SEO audits include a complete analysis of your site, including historical content. We examine the top-ranking factors of every page and compare your website to your competitors'.

This audit gives us all the data we need to repair your site’s foundation, structure and launch your campaign with a bang.

Keyword Research

As part of our keyword research services, we identify keywords your target audience and your ideal customer may use to try and find your products or services on search engines.

Since Melbourne is a large city with a big network of customer needs and demographics, we focus on identifying practical opportunities that align with your business's goals and geographical reach.

Link Building

Links are crucial for your site’s power and authority. Examples of link-building techniques include citations, outreach, and niche-relevant links.

As part of our link-building process, we first inspect your backlink profile. This gives us an idea of how your link profile compares to those currently holding your dream spot at the top of the search results. We then map out what kind of link building is required to increase your website's authority over theirs and get your site climbing up the rankings faster.

Content Creation

As part of our content creation services, we strategise and develop content for landing pages, service pages, product descriptions, blog posts and any other areas of your site that require attention.

Our team is trained to write “helpful content.” This means less fluff and more well-structured content that best answers visitors' questions while making it easy for Google to understand and rank your website.

Semantic SEO

Semantic SEO services focus on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and deep algorithmic learning. As part of this service, we will develop a topical map and deploy a semantic content network on your website, increasing its reach and building its topical authority.

Our team has been trained to understand your market's specific words and phrases and how they relate to Melbourne and your business. This results in content that better answers your audience's questions. This helps your website rank in more places with greater long-term stability and gives your content a higher chance of being considered for Google’s AI Overviews.

What types of companies should invest into SEO in Melbourne? 

Melbourne is a big city, there are many ways to do SEO and types of business that could benefit from SEO in Melbourne. At a local level, a home service type businesses will benefit most from a local SEO campaign; even on a suburb level. Professionals and companies with a city wide reach can target all of Melbourne. National companies that want to build a presence in Melbourne can also target this city with a multi-city type SEO campaign. Here are a few examples of industries we have found SEO to work best in Melbourne.

Local Service Providers: Plumbers, Electricians, Cleaners, Builders, Pest Control

Melbourne is the capital of the state of Victoria, with a population of 5.2 million people as of 2023 it's Australia's second largest city. With a population of this size we have found there will always be demand for home services business and plenty of people looking for these services on Google. With high demand however also comes high competition. So it's important the SEO campaign is strategised properly in order to generate high ROI.

For example, Jims Electrical has electricians servicing all over the city and their "Electrician Melbourne" page ranks in the top positions. SEO works extremely well for this level company on a city wide level. 

However for a small outfit like Volt Pro Electrical, who have a physical location in Ringwood, local SEO and optimising their Google Business Profile is the best strategy and is successfully driving traffic & phone calls.

Professionals: Accountants, Lawyers, Mortgage Brokers

In the CBD of a main city like Melbourne, professional services will always be in demand. In addition to this, according to the City Of Melbourne's Business by Industry report, there are a total of 44,709 business registered, and out of this number the professional, scientific and technical serviced industry had the largest number of total registered businesses. 

This shows that not only is there growing demand for professional services, but the industry itself is growing, therefore making SEO a highly valuable marketing strategy.

Lord Commercial Lawyers is one company that has achieved top positions in Google, and their SEO continues to deliver new clients both via their Google Business Profile & website.

Through proper onsite optimisation, relevant content and an authoritative backlink profile, they have been able to secure top spots in the organic search results as well as the maps listings.
