Melbourne SEO agencies typically start around $1,500 a month on a twelve month contract. I do the same technical work as part of a $225 monthly plan that also includes the website.
Get in contactSEO will not put a new business at the top of a competitive Melbourne search term in a month. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. What it reliably does is win the searches near you, which for a service business is where the work actually comes from.
Somebody searching for a trade in their own suburb is ready to call. Somebody searching a broad city wide term is usually still browsing. I would rather have you first for your suburb than tenth for Melbourne.
Your Google Business Profile, your suburb pages and the review engine that decides whether you appear on the map at all.
This is why the plan includes 30 pages. Sites that rank locally have a page for each thing they do in each place they do it.
Being named when a customer asks ChatGPT or Google AI for a recommendation. Almost nobody in Melbourne is doing this yet.
An automatic system that asks every happy customer for a Google review, because review count is one of the strongest local ranking signals there is.
Melbourne SEO agencies generally start around $1,500 a month, often on a twelve month contract. I include the SEO and AI search work in a $225 monthly plan that also covers the website, hosting and support.
Local suburb searches usually start moving within two to three months. Competitive Melbourne wide terms take a year or more, and often are not worth chasing for a local service business. I will tell you honestly which of the two your business is in.
No, and neither can anyone else. Google does not sell rankings and nobody can promise a position. What I can promise is the work that actually moves rankings, and a monthly report showing exactly what changed.
At $1,500 a month, often not. That is the real reason most small businesses give up on it. At $225 with the website included, the sums work out very differently.
SEO decides where you appear in a list of links. AI search decides whether ChatGPT or Google AI names you at all when someone asks for a recommendation. They need different work and I do both.
