Scott Shorter is a team, so we can tackle the big jobs and not drop the ball on the small jobs.

Accountability: At Scott Shorter, accountability is always guaranteed, with Scott Shorter himself overseeing your success. In contrast, a lack of accountability is a common complaint from former agency clients. Agencies often fail to deliver results, swapping account managers and offering apologies, or they show initial promise only for things to go awry when key team members leave.

Focused: Many agencies position themselves as ‘full-service,’ becoming jacks of all trades but masters of none. At Scott Shorter, the team is dedicated exclusively to SEO, staying at the forefront of the latest methods and consistently outperforming generalist agencies.”

Avoid lock-in contracts

We do not charge 12 or 24 commitments, which is worryingly common practice in an industry where it is difficult to know who is honest. As an agency with a genuine focus on results, we know from experience that results are all that is required to retain business, and we’re confident about that. That is why we have no lock-in contract options or short contracts that help us avoid charging a setup fee.

I contacted Scott Shorter to get a quote and learn what SEO can do.We've already been given value with Scott's insights and advice into some structural problems with our website. The corrective wheels are in motion and we haven't even begun to do business as such(yet)! Nice too, having the personal touch with someone who can walk the talk! Thanks Scott!

Scott Schorter is an absolute legend! He took time out of his busy day to help us with Google Ads and SEO, purely out of the goodness of his heart. His advice was spot on, and he really went above and beyond to make sure we understood everything. It's rare to find someone so generous and knowledgeable in this space. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about helping others succeed, Scott's your guy! Highly recommend!

Scott presented a well documented and insightful presentation to our team. It cut through a lot of the SEO jargon and enabled us to focus on the core things that we needed to change. This has resulted in a steady increase in organic traffic based in the areas we want to target.

I cannot thank Scott enough for helping me out.I am not tech savvy, don't know much about SEO, content pages, search algorithms, etc.I was already working with a different SEO team and wasn't happy with my customer experience, results and the amount of time everything was taking.In a very short time, very precisely and simply Scott gave me the answers I needed, guided me through the next steps, what to avoid, what to focus on, what to enhance.He was very helpful, very focused, very efficient.Highly recommend!

Scott presented a fantastic half day of SEO training for our organisation.His presentation was thoroughly bespoke with many detailed examples. Just two weeks after implementing his recommendations we started to see positive changes in rankings, with keywords in positions 1-3 increasing by 20% and still growing.We recommend Scott to others looking for guidance on the SEO process.

An Actual Person.I called Scott after having some horror experiences with other Google support services for my small business in Melbourne.Scott was great, he took the time to explain what I needed to do to rectify my Google issue in a way I could understand. So refreshing and reassuring to have access to an actual person with the technical solutions at hand.I'd highly recommend Scott especially if you've been burnt by a big corporate SEO before.

Scott is everything his amazing reviews rave on about! Having no idea how to boost my SEO organically, I hoped Scott could help shed some light and point me in the right direction or offer a service that would suit my needs. Scott took time out of his busy schedule for an online meeting and showed me insights I'd have had no access to myself, and explained patiently what are all the main areas I need to rework on my website, in as much detail as a non-SEO-savvy person like me needs in order to understand it - all was explained in layman terms and with some visual aid. Nothing requires coding knowledge, everything is stuff you can work on yourself, which is amazing! If you need an SEO expert, Scott is your man. The search was worth it, I'm so lucky to have found him. Thanks a million, Scott!

Scott was absolutely brilliant at helping me solve minor but complex problems that were preventing the proper indexing of a site I own. He clearly understands the granular detail. Moreover, he is likeable and able to communicate technical concepts to someone like me with little to no understanding of SEO. I could not possibly recommend him more highly.

One of the best seo decisions we made was coming across Scott Shorter SEO on Google and giving his company a ring. For his SEO company to rank so well across multiple states in the SEO industry is a testament to his proficient skill, which is backed up by his 20 years of SEO experience.Since the implementation of his personalised seo action plan for our business we've received incredible results reflected by an increase in sales. We couldn't be happier withthe results.I have worked with other seo companies in the past and I have always felt that I have been investing alot of my money but getting very little value back. My experience with Scott shorter has been the exact opposite.If your looking for a white hat seo company that really wants the best for their clients and is willing to put in the yards to help increase your web presence and ultimately your sales, than look no further.Thanks againRavi SimonsYabadoo Kids Entertainment......................................

I recently had a meeting with Scott to get some guidance on optimising my Google Ads campaigns, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. His insights were not only clear and actionable but also highly effective in improving my approach. Scott provided valuable recommendations that have already made a noticeable difference. If you're looking for expert guidance in SEO or Google Ads, I highly recommend reaching out to him. Thanks again for steering me in the right direction!

I approached Scott because I found him at the top of the ranks for SEO experts in Australia - he must know what he's doing! Despite me not being a fit for his services, Scott offered to chat with me about how I can improve my SEO without paying for his services. To be honest, I initially thought this was a scam as who would give out their PI for free? With an open-mind, I organised an online meeting with Scott and was pleasantly surprised with the specific and actionable strategies that he provided me with. Scott was generous with his time and patient with my questions. He even offered to review my website's SEO for free after I make the changes he suggested. I look forward to be in touch again and perhaps get his help if I don't manage with the tips he gave me!

Frequently Asked Questions

Who works at Scott Shorter?

On-page and Off-page SEO

Strong SEO is a team effort, at Scott Shorter PTY LTD we have more people power than an SEO freelancer and fewer distractions than a full-service digital agency. We have our SEO director, SEO account managers, an SEO copywriter, link builders, a programmer, website speed optimisation specialist and a graphic artist. We also have Google and Bing Ads specialists and admin staff. We’re always looking for the next asset to our team that will give us the edge. We move fast and stay dynamic. That’s how we’ve become one of Melbourne’s best SEO agencies.

What is SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) involves studying the signals that determine search engine rankings, like those from Google and Bing, and making adjustments to your website to match these signals. The closer your website aligns with these signals, the better your ranking will be. Generally speaking, SEO involves building a bigger website with content that is more closely aligned with searches and strengthening the website’s authority through a backlinking program.

How does SEO work in 2023?

In the year 2023, Google’s primary factors for ranking involve a page’s relevance to a search, the authority it gains through backlinks, and an enhanced focus on user experience, valuable content, and the extent to which your website fulfils the criteria of Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-A-T).

How long does SEO last?

SEO lasts a long time which makes it a great investment. SEO builds a better, bigger website that ranks for more search terms. Stopping SEO will not make the website smaller and thus it won’t directly lessen the effectiveness of SEO. SEO also improves the authority of your website. Websites with higher authority outrank their competitors. Stopping SEO will not reduce the authority of the website or make the website smaller. The main reason websites lose ground is because their competitors may continue to improve their SEO. This happens slowly.

How long does SEO take?

You’ll start noticing improvement in 15 to 30 days, and these improvements typically improve further each month. Strong results typically take 6 to 12 months. The exact time depends on how much SEO your competitors are doing and how your SEO is currently performing.

Is SEO still worth it in 2023?

SEO is still a great investment in 2023. SEO can provide a better ROI than ads, and SEO is also longer-lasting than other forms of advertising. SEO has a fixed monthly cost while the results improve. As the price of paid ads becomes increasingly more expensive, SEO is a strategy that has become increasingly valuable.
