Frequently Asked SEO Questions
Can we start with an SEO trial?
Yes, we have SEO packages without lock-in contracts. SEO, however, is a medium to long-term investment. The minimum length of time to see results is generally four months.
Who works at the Scott Shorter SEO agency?
Great SEO is a team effort. Scott Shorter has grown from a sole trader into one of Australia’s leading boutique SEO agencies. Your account will be overseen by our principal strategists (Scott Shorter) and supported by SEO specialists, project managers, link builders, programmers, graphic design specialists, copywriters and other experts.
Are we SEO freelancers, consultants, or experts, or are we an SEO agency?
Strong SEO takes a team. We’re not just a one-person team, so you can trust that we have the skills to get the job done. We work quickly and stay flexible, and that’s how we’ve become one of the best SEO companies in Australia.
SEO – What is it?
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) involves analysing the ranking signals used by search engines like Google and making adjustments to your website to match these signals. The closer your website aligns with these ranking factors, the better your ranking will be.
What are the main SEO factors?
In 2026, Google’s primary ranking signals consist of a page’s relevance to a search query, its authority through backlinks, and an increased focus on user experience, valuable content, and how well your website meets criteria related to Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-E-A-T)
Do we work with small businesses?
We have worked with many small businesses to help them compete and outrank larger companies. Smaller, more nimble companies can move quickly than larger companies, and one of the most rewarding aspects of our work is watching a small business grow. We are neither the cheapest nor the most expensive option. If we are not within your budget, we can refer you to several independent specialists who may be.
Do we work on enterprise websites?
Yes, we have worked on enterprise SEO for a bank through to many of Australia’s leading websites. Enterprise SEO not only requires advanced knowledge and experience with large, complex websites, but also an understanding of how to work with multiple stakeholders, including branding, compliance, and security.
How long does SEO take?
Each situation is different, depending on whether you have a new or existing website. A brand new website will take longer. In any situation, you can expect initial improvement within four months, with ongoing improvement each month. Typically, substantial improvements become evident within 6 to 12 months. However, the exact duration hinges on the level of SEO competition and the existing state of your SEO efforts.
Is SEO still worth it in 2026?
SEO remains a substantial investment in 2026. SEO can deliver a better ROI than ads and is longer-lasting than other forms of advertising. SEO has a fixed monthly cost, while the results improve. As paid ad costs rise, SEO has become increasingly valuable.
How do SEO services provide longevity?
SEO services deliver long-term value by making changes to your website that are yours to keep. As SEO changes remain in place, your website improves brick by brick.
