Why Choose Websites That Sell Over Any Other SEO Company On The Sunshine Coast?

We know how the Sunshine Coast region & market affect SEO.
The Sunshine Coast is a growing region in Queensland. The Sunshine Coast Council expects the population to surpass 500,000 by 2041. When we first started offering SEO services on the Sunshine Coast the only viable option was to target the entire Sunshine Coast as a whole. However with such strong population growth,  driven by areas such as Caloundra West (Aura), Harmony, Beerwah and Nambour we have achieved great ROI for clients by targeting just the suburbs our client operates in or are able to service. Our experience & local knowledge gives us a competitive edge over other agencies on the Sunshine Coast.
We've worked with companies like yours before.
We took on our first SEO client on the Sunshine Coast in 2013, and their website still ranks in the top positions today.

We have helped hair salons like Becky B Hair Caloundra, accounting firms like Darcy Bookkeeping & Accounting Services, Plumbers like O'Brien Plumbing Maroochydore and many other companies across various industries including builders, electricians, doctors, dentists, surgeons and retailers get found online. 

We know what type of SEO strategies work best in which industry. We know when it makes sense to target all of the coast or single areas like Noosa, Maroochydore or Caloundra. We are industry experts with years of experience and proven results; it's what sets us apart as one of the best SEO agencies on the Sunshine Coast.
You get direct access to our SEO specialists
We do not outsource SEO overseas; our team operates locally, and you deal with them directly. Because we have a office location nearby on the Sunshine Coast, we can even come and meet you!

You can email, phone or visit us in the office to discuss your campaign. We’re always here to help.

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.

I have written hundreds of pages of optimised content, including every page on a site that ranked organically on a content-only strategy (no backlinks), for over 12 months without any further optimisations. 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.

Data-driven content strategy development (Google Search Console Training)
Industry specific SEO content (Medical, healthcare and trades)

Historical content review and content decay recovery.
recent achievement: Planned and executed a content strategy that generated over 150,000 organic impressions within a 12 month period for a corporate training company using semantically briefed content and EEAT practices.

SEO Services Proven To Work On The Sunshine Coast

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 as follows: 

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 across the coast.

Our local SEO services help you rank in the Maps Pack and reach customers in specific suburbs such as Caloundra, Aura, Harmony, Kawana or even further south towards Beerwah or into the hinterland targeting Maleny & Montville 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.

SEO Audit

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 the Sunshine Coast is a region with a vast network of customer needs and demographics, we focus on identifying practical opportunities that align with your business's goals and geographical reach.

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.

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.

International SEO

International SEO services include technical aspects like Hreflang Tags, gTLD and proper canonicalisation. Our specialists understand how to localise your website for foreign markets so your message correctly translates for a multilingual target audience.

Our International SEO services have helped numerous Sunshine Coast entrepreneurs enter the global stage. This type of campaign allows you to reach an international audience even if your operations are on the Sunshine Coast, expanding your influence further than Aussie shores.

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 the Sunshine Coast 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.

SEO Consulting & Strategy

We’ve consulted and acted as SEO advisors to corporations of many shapes and sizes.

As part of our consultations, we research what your website needs to rank in your industry.

Is SEO worth it for a Sunshine Coast based business?

Yes SEO is worth it on the Sunshine Coast. Here's why SEO continues to be an effective marketing strategy for Sunshine Coast business owners.

While competition on the search engines has increased, there are still industries for which it is easy to get visibility & rank (if you know how).

The population is still growing. The region's population in 2024 was 371,000 (MacroTrends.net, 2024) and is expected to surpass 500,000 by 2041 (Sunshine Coast Council, 2024).

The Sunshine Coast has adapted to the shift online. Rather than going to Maroochydore Plaza for all their shopping needs, more than ever, people are going to search engines first to do their research before finding a local business or retail outlet.

Getting your website ranked on Google gets you in front of these shoppers first!

Is paying an agency to do SEO worth it?

Yes, it is worth hiring an SEO for your website, especially someone with experience with campaigns on the Sunshine Coast like us.

Having worked on over 563 digital marketing campaigns, we know a well-strategised SEO campaign generates more leads, calls, and sales than any other digital marketing strategy. The key to success is finding a company with experience and the ability to offer the SEO services you need.

Our clients who have invested in SEO in previous years are seeing two, three and even four times the return on investment as demand for products & services soar on the Sunshine Coast.

What types of companies should invest in SEO on the Sunshine Coast? 

Local Service Providers (such as Plumbers, Electricians, Builders, Pest Control)

There has and always will be demand for local services on the Sunshine Coast. However, with the continued growth in population, demand for electrical work, pest control, renovations and plumbers is higher than ever. It's the company found at the top of Google that will get the first call from these customers.

For example, Keith Atkinson Electrical has achieved top Google rankings with SEO. The company has optimised their Google Business Profile and have received over 100, 5 star reviews. They have optimised their website for the Sunshine Coast which has allowed them to rank on the first page for "electrician Sunshine Coast" both organically and in the maps pack which generates constant leads for them.

Professionals (such as Accountants, Lawyers, Mortgage Brokers)

The Sunshine Coast is over an hours drive away from Brisbane, and rather than hiring professionals from a major city, many people opt to do business locally. There are hundreds of potential customers looking for local Accountants, Lawyers & Mortgage Brokers each month.

Chomley Family Law is one law firm that has built a strong online presence with SEO. By optimising their website for the keyword "Family Lawyer Sunshine Coast", they are building strong theme relevance with 12 service pages and a natural backlink profile and have achieved top rankings for various searches related to their business.

Tourism & Accommodation providers.

Famous beaches, the Glass House Mountains, Whale Watching, Australia Zoo and other tourist attractions draw millions of tourist to the Sunshine Coast each year.

Visit Sunshine Coast reported a record high 4.2 million visitors travelling to the Sunshine Coast in the year to September 2023.

These visitors make bookings for accommodation, tours and attractions in advance. This means getting found on Google when people search for search terms like "accommodation Mooloolaba" or "whale watching Sunshine Coast" is critical.

Companies like G1 Holidays & Whale One have successfully ranked their website for these types of searches capturing the attention of visitors looking to visit the Sunshine Coast.

Healthcare Providers (such as Doctors, Dentists, Skin Clinics & Surgeons)

The reason SEO works so well for healthcare providers is because of the user behaviour in this industry. For example, our research suggest that someone living in Buderim in need of a dentist will type into Google "dentist buderim" or "dentist around me". This dramatically decreases the cost of SEO as the dental clinic can focus on just the suburb they operate in rather than competing with other across the coast that aren't in direct competition.

One dentist that has taken full advantage of this knowledge is Avenue Dental. The overall site is optimised for the Sunshine Coast allowing them to rank for searches such as "dentist Sunshine Coast", however they have also optimised each one of their practices to the location they operate in. This means they rank for local suburbs such as Caloundra, Baringa, Beerwah, Kawana, Maroochydore, Sippy Downs, Tewantin and Bli Bli which allows them to attract new patients both regionally and locally.
