Six businesses. Their numbers, not ours.
The headline from each client’s own records, with the curve behind it. Clients are identified by industry rather than by name, and every one is a business we still run search for.
What we do
Seven services, one team, one report.
No account manager relaying questions to a department that is actually a different company.

The fee stays flat. The asset compounds.
Google Ads stop the day you stop paying. Pages, rankings and reviews do not, and you never build them twice. Below is the cheapest plan modelled over three years, anchored to a first year a real client actually recorded.

Year one is measured. Years two and three are modelled from it — not a forecast, and not a projection of your business. Year two assumes the second year adds nothing at all beyond holding the first year’s exit rate. We report real numbers monthly so you can watch your own curve against this one.
Honest expectations
What the first twelve months looks like.
Foundations
Technical audit and fixes, Google Business Profile rebuilt, tracking installed, first service and suburb pages live. On Standard or Premium, Google Ads goes live in week two — that is where the first calls come from.
First movement
Pages start appearing for longer, more specific searches. Reviews accumulate and the profile gets competitive in the map results. Ads data starts telling us which services actually convert.
Compounding
Earlier pages mature and begin ranking for higher-volume terms. Authority work pays off. Organic starts reducing your dependence on ad spend rather than adding to it.
No agency can guarantee a ranking position — Google does not sell them, and anyone promising one is either guessing or lying. What we commit to is the work, the reporting, and being straight about what it is producing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does SEO cost?
SEO Excellence plans are $500, $1,000 or $1,500 a month excluding GST — $550, $1,100 and $1,650 on the invoice. Basic is organic only. Standard adds managed Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising. Premium adds Meta ads, backlink outreach, CRM automation and social posting. Ad spend is paid to each platform directly and is never marked up by us.
How long before I see results?
Expect the first movement on longer, specific searches around months four to six, and meaningful volume from months seven to twelve. The client shown at the top of this page took twelve months to go from 17 clicks a month to 885. Google Ads, on the Standard plan, can produce calls inside the first fortnight.
Can you guarantee I will rank number one?
No, and neither can anyone else — Google does not sell positions and its results differ by device and location for the same search. What we commit to is the work, a monthly report from your own Search Console, and telling you plainly when something is not working.
Do I own my website and accounts?
Yes. Your website, Google Ads account, Business Profile, analytics and content stay in your name throughout. If we part ways, everything stays with you and we help hand it over.
Why are your case studies anonymous?
Our clients did not sign up to become our advertising. Naming a business and its revenue alongside its search performance is their call, not ours, so cases are labelled by industry. The numbers are unchanged and come from the client’s own Search Console.
Is there a lock-in contract?
Twelve months minimum, then month to month. Under twelve months there is not enough runway for SEO to show what it can do, and taking the money anyway would not be honest.
