Frequently Asked SEO Questions
Can you start with an SEO trial?
Yes, absolutely. We do not have a lengthy lock-in contract, but we recommend a minimum trial length of four months. That is because SEO results take time. The changes we make today are not effective for some time. A four-month SEO trial is typically the minimum time to move the needle.
Who will be working on your account?
Scott Shorter oversees all accounts to ensure consistency; however, great SEO is a team effort. Scott Shorter has grown from a sole trader to a boutique SEO agency comprising Australian SEO specialists, project managers, and a link-building, programming, and graphic design team. We also have copywriting, conversion optimisation, and analytics experts.
Are we SEO consultants / SEO freelancers or an SEO agency?
We’re more than one person, so you can be assured we have the personal power to get the work done. We’re not too big, and we’re not too small. We move fast and stay dynamic. That’s how we’ve become one of Australia’s top SEO companies.
Can you use your own programming and graphic design teams?
Yes, although our SEO services include complimentary programming and graphic design, many companies we work with already have in-house capacity for these services and prefer that we not directly access their websites. We work with such companies by integrating with their task management platforms or by scheduling tickets in our platform. We thrive working both remotely and on-site.
How long does SEO take?
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is generally considered a medium-length investment with an ROI that improves over time. Early improvements can be seen in as little as four months. For most businesses considering SEO, these timeframes are insufficient. To put it in perspective, most SEO award programs focus on results achieved within 12 months, and most of our testimonials occur after this timeframe. The second year of SEO is almost always substantially better than the first year.
Our website is not made with WordPress. Can we do SEO?
While most website platforms support SEO, we regularly work with a range of CMS systems. Our deep knowledge of the web’s underlying technologies means that, more often than not, we can overcome most challenges. That said, systems are considerably limited. Before we begin any engagement, we will review your current approach to ensure compatibility.
Does SEO get cheaper over time?
Yes, our SEO services typically a monthly fixed price while the results improve. If you are calculating SEO cost per visitor or cost per sale, the numbers improve as your SEO performance improves. For most businesses, the longer the SEO investment, the lower the cost per visitor or per sale.
Do we provide SEO services for small businesses?
We have provided SEO services for many startups and sole traders. We have enabled many small companies to outrank multinational websites. Helping small businesses grow into larger ones is the most enjoyable aspect of our work; however, we are not the cheapest option. We have several third-party recommendations if we are not in your budget; if we can’t help, we can recommend a lower-cost option.
What is our enterprise SEO experience?
Enterprise SEO requires an understanding of how to work with multiple stakeholders for compliance, security, risk, brand tone of voice and more. Many of Australia’s leading organisations have consulted with Scott Shorter for enterprise SEO. From a national bank to companies like Wilson Security, Tyresales (Part of the carsales.com.au network), HealthEngine, and ASX-listed companies.
Is SEO better than Google Ads?
Most businesses consider SEO a medium to long-term strategy that can outperform the cost per acquisition of Google Ads. There are a few differences to consider: Google Ads is immediate and offers the ability to target a broad range of keywords. Competitive keywords with SEO may be difficult to obtain in the first 12+ months. The cost of Google Ads for some businesses is too high to deliver a strong ROI. Google Ads costs go up each year, meaning the ROI may decrease. SEO results improve over time, meaning the ROI of SEO typically improves each year. Google Ads results are short-lived, while results obtained from SEO are long-lasting. Google Ads usually requires minimal changes to the website, while SEO can require more substantial development of content. If a business stops investing in Google Ads, the flow of traffic stops. If businesses stop investing in SEO, the results continue because changes made to the website are retained.
