What is SEO and why is it important for my business?

SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is the practice of optimizing your website to rank higher in search engine results. It's crucial because 93% of online experiences begin with a search engine, and 75% of users never scroll past the first page. Higher rankings mean more visibility, traffic, and potential customers for your business.

How long does it take to see results from SEO?

SEO is a long-term strategy. While some improvements can be seen within 4-6 weeks, significant results typically take 3-6 months. The timeline depends on factors like your industry's competitiveness, current website state, and the scope of optimisation work. We provide monthly reports to track progress and demonstrate value throughout the process.

What's included in your SEO services?

Our comprehensive SEO services include technical SEO audits, keyword research and strategy, on-page optimisation, content creation and optimisation, link building, local SEO (if applicable), competitor analysis, and monthly performance reporting. We tailor our approach based on your specific business goals and market conditions.

Do you guarantee first page rankings?

While we can't ethically guarantee specific rankings (as search engines control this), we do guarantee our best efforts using proven, white-hat SEO techniques. Our track record shows consistent success in achieving top rankings for clients. We focus on sustainable, long-term results rather than quick fixes that could harm your site.

How much does SEO cost?

SEO pricing varies based on your business size, industry competition, current website state, and goals. We offer customized packages starting from audits for small businesses to comprehensive campaigns for enterprises. Contact us for a free consultation and we'll provide a tailored proposal based on your specific needs.

What's the difference between citations and backlinks?

Citations are mentions of your NAP (Name, Address, Phone) - they may or may not include a link to your website. Even without a link, citations help local SEO by validating your business information. Backlinks are links from other websites to yours that pass authority directly. Both matter, but citations are specifically important for local SEO and Google Maps rankings.

Do I get dofollow backlinks from citations?

Some directories provide dofollow links, others nofollow, and some don't link at all (NAP mention only). The mix is natural and expected. For citation building, the primary value is NAP consistency and local trust signals - not link juice. If you're looking specifically for backlinks, see our Guest Posting or Press Release services.

Will you update my existing incorrect listings?

This service creates new citations with your correct information. I check for duplicates to avoid creating conflicting listings, but I don't log into and update existing listings you may have created previously. If you need a full citation audit and cleanup of existing listings, contact me to discuss a custom project.

How do I maintain these listings?

Once created, citations are relatively stable. Keep login credentials safe (provided in your report), update listings if your NAP changes, respond to reviews where applicable, and keep information current. For ongoing management, this can be discussed as an add-on service.

Do you submit to industry-specific directories?

Yes, where relevant. General business directories are the foundation, but I also include industry-specific directories where your business fits (e.g., legal directories for lawyers, health directories for medical practices). If you have specific industry directories you want included, let me know.

What about Google Business Profile?

Google Business Profile is the most important 'citation' but requires direct owner verification. I can create the listing if you don't have one, initiate verification (you complete it via postcard/phone), or optimise an existing profile as a separate service.

Can you do this for multiple locations?

Yes. Each location requires its own citation package (separate NAP = separate citations). Multi-location orders receive a discount - contact for custom pricing.

How quickly will I see results?

Citations take time to impact rankings: 2-4 weeks for directories to be indexed by Google, 1-3 months for local ranking improvements to begin, 3-6 months for full impact realised. Citation building is foundational work. Combined with other local SEO efforts (GBP optimisation, reviews, local content), results compound over time.

What information do I receive after completion?

Your completion report includes: full list of all directories submitted, live URLs to each listing, login credentials (username/password) where applicable, submission status and notes, and any required actions (e.g., verification you need to complete). You own all the listings - credentials are provided for your records.

Citation Building Service

Citations are mentions of your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) across the web. They're a critical ranking factor for local SEO. I manually submit your business to 50-300 authoritative directories across Australia and globally - ensuring consistent, accurate information that builds trust with both search engines and potential customers.
