Question 1

Do you only do SEO in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

Sydney is our default — every page on this site is written for Sydney businesses. We do take on the odd interstate client when there's a strong fit (usually a Sydney-founder relocating their head office). But suburb-level local SEO is what we're sharpest at, and we lean on the Sydney 3-pack, NAP and AU directory landscape as our home turf.

Question 2

Which Sydney suburb pages should I read?

Accepted Answer

Start with the area page closest to your business address — Sydney CBD, North Sydney, Chatswood, Bondi & Eastern Suburbs, Penrith & Western Sydney, the Sutherland Shire, Parramatta, Leichhardt & Inner West, Mosman, Manly or Surry Hills. Each lists local industries we work with and example client outcomes. If your suburb sits between two, read both — overlap is normal.

Question 3

How long does Sydney SEO take to work?

Accepted Answer

Local-intent terms ("emergency dentist marrickville", "physio surry hills") usually move in 3–6 months. Head terms like "seo sydney" or "lawyer parramatta" take 6–12 months because the SERPs are dominated by older domains. Anyone in Sydney promising you page-1 in 30 days is selling you something cheap that will collapse by month 3.

Question 4

What does "Sydney SEO" cost?

Accepted Answer

Three flat tiers: Starter $690/mo, Growth $1,290/mo, Authority $2,490/mo — same pricing whether you're in Bondi, Bankstown or Parramatta. No suburb surcharge. No percentage of ad spend. No 12-month lock-in. Most Sydney small businesses sit at Starter or Growth; multi-suburb operators and competitive industries land at Authority.

Question 5

How do you rank in the Sydney Google 3-Pack?

Accepted Answer

Three compounding levers: a clean, photo-rich Google Business Profile with the right AU categories; consistent NAP across the AU directory landscape (True Local, Yellow Pages, AU industry-specific lists); and LocalBusiness schema with the right `areaServed` config. We have a 23-point GBP checklist we run on every new Sydney client in week one.

Question 6

Do you work with multilingual Sydney businesses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sydney has serious Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Korean and Arabic-speaking customer bases — particularly in Hurstville, Cabramatta, Bankstown, Chatswood and Auburn. We can't write multilingual content for you, but we can structure the site with `hreflang`, optimise an English-default presence that captures the bilingual searcher, and integrate with a translation partner. Several of our clients run dual-language sites.

Question 7

What's the difference between Sydney SEO and just SEO?

Accepted Answer

Sydney SEO is local SEO with AU-specific levers — Google Business Profile in AU locale, AU directory citations, suburb-intent keywords, NSW-aware schema, AU phone format. Generic SEO ignores all of that and treats every market the same. The difference shows up in the Sydney 3-pack and the suburb-qualified queries where 60–70% of Sydney small-business search volume actually lives.

Question 8

Can you handle multi-location Sydney businesses?

Accepted Answer

Yes — multi-location is where local SEO gets interesting. Separate landing page per location, distinct Google Business Profile per address, NAP consistency across all of them, internal-link structure that lets each location compete in its own 3-pack without cannibalising siblings. We work with several Sydney businesses running 3–8 suburb pages off a single brand.

Question 9

Do you come to Sydney clients in person?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kickoffs are usually in person — we come to you, anywhere across greater Sydney, from the CBD out to Penrith or down to the Shire. After that most communication is remote, but Growth and Authority tiers include a quarterly in-person review. Same timezone, same city, so "Friday 4pm at your office" is rarely a problem.

Question 10

How do you handle Sydney suburbs you don't have a page for?

Accepted Answer

Drop us a line — we probably still work there. The 34 area pages cover the clusters where we have the most clients and the deepest local context, but the catchment is broader. Neutral Bay, Freshwater, Strathfield, Paddington and dozens more sit inside an existing area page's `suburbs` list. The suburb-search browser above will route you to the closest match.

Question 11

What's the cheapest SEO win for a Sydney small business?

Accepted Answer

Internal linking. Most Sydney small-business sites have a homepage, a services page, a contact form, and zero structure between them. Two hours spent connecting service pages to suburb pages to FAQ-answer pages with descriptive anchor text will outperform a $500 backlink package. See our internal linking method for the boring specifics.

Question 12

Are you a Sydney SEO agency or a freelancer?

Accepted Answer

A small team — four people, all Sydney-based, founded in 2023. Big enough that you don't lose work if one person is on leave; small enough that the person you meet at kickoff is the same person doing the work in month six. We deliberately avoid the "20 account managers and 5 specialists" agency shape — too much hand-off, not enough doing.
