Specialist SEO Agency

SEO specialists, not digital marketing do-it-alls.

There’s no shortage of digital marketing agencies in Australia that offer SEO as an add-on service. At Safari Digital, we specialise in SEO. We don’t offer any other digital marketing services – just SEO. As a result, you’ll work with specialists that understand the intricacies of organic search. You wouldn’t trust your plumber do to do your electrical work, so don’t trust your Google Ads company to do your SEO.

No account managers, no middlemen – just SEO specialists. We are staffed exclusively by SEO professionals which means that you won’t get the run around or be handballed between account managers.

We aren’t salespeople, we’re SEO specialists. Once we conduct an audit of your website, we’ll be able to provide a transparent and honest assessment of your situation. We don’t try to sell you something that you don’t need, and we don’t make wild projections to get you to sign a contract.

We get it, SEO has a bad rep. There are some shady operators out there that have cast a dark shadow over the industry. Just like any industry, there are good operators and there are some pretty poor ones. As an SEO team, we’re committed to getting you results that make a difference to your bottom line. Rankings are nice, but we’re more interested in developing an organic strategy that drives valuable, high-converting traffic that aligns with your business goals.

Our Strategy for SEO Success

The common misconception is that SEO is a mysterious, unexplainable dark art. A series of random events that lead to search engine visibility. But the truth is, search engine optimisation is a repeatable, process-driven marketing strategy.

Our strategy follows a time-tested approach that allows us to step into any business, identify the organic search opportunities, and engineer a strategy that drives organic growth. Whilst each business is unique and the goals will change, the process that we take to drive SEO-growth remains consistent.

Before we can dive in with suggestions and optimisations, we first need to understand your current website performance.

If you are a new website or a blank canvas, then the initial audit phase is going to be relatively straightforward.

If, however, you are an established business who has either dabbled in SEO in the past or worked with an SEO specialist, then the initial audit phase is more complex.

During the initial audit, our SEO specialists will look at the current performance of the website, establish baseline benchmarks, identify the current on-page and off-page strategies. We’ll see what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to be done.

The end goal of the initial audit is to understand what is currently holding you back and what is required to improve your organic search performance from an on-page, off-page, technical, and content perspective.

An SEO strategy isn’t just about ranking for keywords and improving website traffic.

To run an effective SEO campaign, we need to understand how your ideal customer uses search engines, the pain points that we need to address in the search cycle, and how to position your business as a trusted authority in your niche.

Studying your target market considers the search terms that your ideal customer is using, when they are using them, and how we can meet them at each stage of the sales cycle.

Whilst we all want to rank for those “high value” transactional search terms, it’s important to address the needs of your target audience and ensure that we are positioning your brand as a trustworthy and authoritative brand in your space.

SEO is a collaborative effort. No one understands your business and your target audience better than you. We’ll work alongside you to bring our insights to the table and listen to your feedback and insights into the market to create a collaborative, conversion-oriented approach to your strategy.

Like it or not – SEO is a competition.

The cream rises to the top. Those competitors that you see at the top of the search results in your industry didn’t get there by chance. Instead, they got there by understanding what is required to outrank and outperform other brands in your niche.

A competitor SEO audit uncovers the strategies used by the leaders in your industry. By understanding what your top competitors are doing from an on-site, off-site, content, and technical perspective, we can begin to piece together a plan to bridge the gap.

We’ll identify competitor strengths, weaknesses, and gaps. Our SEO consultants will put forward a roadmap that outlines the priorities and the biggest opportunities for short and long-term growth through SEO.

On-page or on-site SEO plays a significant role in how you rank in Google.

On-page SEO refers to all of the factors that occur on your website. From the keywords that you target, the structure of your website, the menus and links, the meta data and structured data, and much more.

The structure and layout of your website is essential for both users and search engines. Ranking in search engines is one thing, but it’s also essential to make sure that we are capitalising on traffic by creating a straightforward user experience that aligns with your conversion goals.

We are a content-first SEO agency.

We don’t outsource, cut corners, or rely on LLMs to write our content. We have an in-house team of SEO content writers that will work across the transactional and informational pages of your website to create SEO-friendly content that aligns with your brand and your tone of voice.

SEO copywriting isn’t about stuffing keywords or hitting a certain keyword density. Those days are long gone. Today, it’s about creating content that provides value to users and stands out amongst a sea of generic, LLM written content.

Our content strategy is about nurturing users from their very first searches, right the way through to their final conversion. Once we understand how your ideal customer is using organic search, we can then piece together a content strategy that guides them from their initial, information-finding searches right through to their final conversion.

Website authority is an important metric that search engines use to determine where your site ranks in the organic search results.

Building authority doesn’t happen overnight. It requires a consistent, long-term approach.

Increasing site authority comes through a range of different off-site initiatives like strategic link building, director and brand mentions, link-bait style content, and PR initiatives.

By increasing your authority, it becomes easier to rank new and existing content on your website. Sites with higher authority have a higher level of trust with Google which means it is easier to rank at the top of the organic search listings for competitive, valuable search terms.

SEO is a moving target. Nothing is ever quite where you left it. It’s not a case of “SEO-ing” your website and waving goodbye.

In order to stay ahead of the competition, we need to constantly measure and refine our approach. As a specialist SEO agency, we spend 100% of our time implementing, testing, and refining our approach in-line with the feedback that we get from search engines.

There is no SEO playbook. The search engine algorithm is in a constant state of flux. It’s our job to interpret and understand all of those changes to ensure our clients stay ahead of their competition.

We provide clear, transparent SEO reporting that aligns with your KPIs. We don’t just look at traffic and impressions. We look at enquiries, leads generated, and conversions.

FAQs

All of your burning SEO questions, answered

It depends on your starting point and your goals. If you already have an established website and you’re competing in a mid-competition industry, then you may start to see results in as little as 3-4 months. For newer websites or websites that are competing in an extremely competitive niche, it can take 6-12 months to really start to see results.

SEO is not an immediate fix, and it won’t happen overnight, it’s a long-term digital marketing strategy designed to generate long-term visibility and leads for your business.

Yes, you need to keep doing SEO in order to stay at the top. The best analogy for SEO is that it’s like training for a marathon or going to the gym. If you stop training, you’ll gradually lose fitness – or rankings in this case.

The companies that you see at the top of the search results are constantly investing and improving their SEO strategy to stay ahead of the competition. There is no “quick fix” or one-time optimisation that will keep you ranking at the top forever.

You can try! If you dedicate enough time and resources to learning about the fundamentals of SEO, then you may be able to cobble together a reasonably good SEO strategy. Kind of like how if you can learn how to service your car you can probably get to the point where you can confidently change your oil filter and brake pads.

The value of working with an SEO agency is that you are deferring to experts. We know what works and what doesn’t and can save you time and energy by implementing the right strategy from the outset.

No one can guarantee that you will rank number one – irrespective of what they say on their website or their Google Ads. In fact, if you google “Guaranteed SEO results” you’ll find our article at the top. Since writing that article, just about every agency has written a poor imitation of our article, but the point is, no one can guarantee results. Here is what Google say in their official documentation on the guaranteed SEO:

“Your prospective SEO should be able to give you realistic estimates of improvement, and an estimate of the work involved. If they guarantee you that their changes will give you first place in search results, find someone else.”

So, we can certainly do this. Once we have conducted a preliminary audit of your website, we will provide you with an estimated timeframe and projected outcomes from investing in SEO. We always err on the side of caution to ensure that we exceed expectations.

If you sell products or services, then there’s a good chance that the right SEO strategy can help your business to increase brand awareness and drive enquiries and sales. Using SEO tools, we can conduct a preliminary assessment of your industry and provide you with insights on the search behaviour of your market. Once we conduct an initial market audit, we’ll provide you with an up-front assessment of whether or not SEO is the right fit for your business. If we think that you are better off investing in other channels, then we’ll let you know.

It depends on your industry and your goals. The cost of SEO services in Australia will generally range from around $1,400 to $5,000+ per month. For enterprise-sized businesses, this may be more, but most will fall into this range. Most SEO agencies are cagey about providing figures online and will put you through the hard sell, but the truth is that most companies will fall into this range.

Despite our large web presence, we’re a small SEO agency. As a result, you won’t get passed through layers of red tape or inexperienced account-managers to get a response. You will have one main point of contact for your campaign, and they won’t change. Both Liam and Breanna are always available to talk about your campaign and discuss deliverables and progress.
