Your Trusted SEO Agency Melbourne

One of the reasons StudioHawk is so popular is because its founder, Harry, wanted to do SEO different to what he had seen in the market place. Crazy monthly fees, lock-in contracts, no communication with the SEO agency for months on end, so you don’t know if the money you’re spending is working. You want an SEO agency with no lock in fees. If you think what we’re doing isn’t working, you can leave. You want an SEO agency who speaks to you whenever you need, and presents monthly reporting to you. You want an SEO agency with a proven history of success, and some pretty big industry awards thrown in there too.

A backlink is when another website links back to your website. It is a digital referral. Backlinks can be great for helping you rank and increase your Page Authority (PA), or they could be rubbish links which Google could penalise you for. In the early days of the internet Google would judge based on the number of links leading to your site, so there were ‘link farms’ where you could buy thousands of backlinks. Now it is about quality, not quantity. A backlink will give you ‘link juice’, where a site gives you some of their PA to help you rank.

We think one of the most important things you want to look for in an SEO agency is transparency and honesty. You don’t want to be taken for a very expensive ride by people who promise the world and then deliver, whatever is the opposite. You want an agency who provides you with monthly reports and updates. This way you know the money you’re investing is bringing results. And you want those reports to make sense and not be in technical babbles which confuses you. You want to look for an agency that has quantifiable results and a history to back up their promises.

Whether you’re serving the local Melbourne market or your audience is interstate or even global, it’s critical to have a solid SEO strategy in order to boost your visibility, build credibility and compete effectively in your industry. With 68% of online experiences beginning with a search engine and 53% of all traffic coming from organic search, it’s more important than ever to invest in expert SEO services to reach your market.

Firstly, we will speak with you to determine who you see as your local competitors. Then we will look at search results to determine who your local online competitors are. There are some cases where this may be completely different to your initial list. From there, we will benchmark your performance against your competitors and continue to track progress from there. We create keyword optimised content that not only relates to your business, products or services but also the Melbourne area in general. The key is creating content that’s genuinely useful and shareable. This is how we attract backlinks from other credible websites which helps improve your visibility in standard search results, Google maps, shopping results and the recently introduced Snippets feature in Google.

This can vary depending on your industry, level of competition and specific search terms you’re targeting (e.g broad keywords take longer to rank for than long tail keywords.) Our masterful experts know all the right moves to make sure you see impressive ROI as quickly as possible, but keep in mind that SEO is an ongoing process and the results are cumulative over time.

Our SEO services are totally transparent with ongoing communication directly with our experts (not middlemen) to give you full campaign visibility from day one. We also provide comprehensive monthly reporting so that you always know how your website is performing and the ROI you’re getting, in plain English. We'll always be available at the end of the line, on email or in office if you need us!

Due to the nature of SEO, we can’t guarantee specific rankings for any given search term. What we can promise is that you’ll enjoy the same relentless focus and masterful execution that we continue to deliver to all of our clients who are enjoying an average 300% ROI.

Through geographic targeting and local Melbourne SEO strategies, we can help you gain top rankings and high visibility across all of your business locations locally, Australia-wide and internationally.

The metrics we measure success against are based on your business goals. For example, if the aim of your campaign is to increase keyword visibility, we will measure results against this. If the aim is to increase traffic or conversions, our reporting will reflect this. We will have an initial conversation with you as part of the onboarding process to discuss what success looks like to you, and incorporate that in all of our reporting and catch ups for transparency.
