How Much Does SEO Cost In Australia?

Have you heard the adage, that services that are cheap are not necessarily good and services that are good aren’t necessarily cheap?
This adage perfectly describes the cost to not only purchase but to provide SEO at a level where your site won’t be penalized and where you’ll be able to see measurable results.
At Maxim Media, we see tangible results as an increase in search presence across the web which leads to more phone calls, emails, and revenue for your business. We do this while maintaining the integrity and authority of your site as a whole in Google’s eyes.
Our team of expert content writers creates a content marketing strategy to not only create content that is relevant to your industry and readership but content that will turn industry interest into warm leads and ultimately purchases of your product or service.
Creating high-quality content can be expensive, and using the best writers the SEO industry has to offer costs our agency quite a lot in outgoing expenses.
Your custom SEO service also includes link building, where we contact verified publishers that have relevance in your industry and ask them to share the content that we have created with their readership. By doing this, we increase the overall authority of your website and cement your brand as an authority in your market.
Then come the on-page, speed, and technical optimization of your website, all of which can be quite time-consuming for our expert technical SEO team.
Now, down to the nitty-gritty, the cost of your SEO service will highly depend on the competitiveness of your market. Is your website looking to rank for search terms like ‘Online Casino’? or are you a local plumber and just wanting more leads in your local area? The competitiveness of your market and the lengths to which your competitors are going will dictate the monthly cost of your campaign.
A simple local campaign, where we drive leads, sales, and traffic in your locality will cost between $900 per month for a simple campaign in a regional area to $5000 for a national campaign.
If you’re in an industry that has large competition i.e. metropolitan cities or you’re in a financial-based services market, our prices start at $2,000 and increase incrementally to upwards of $10,000 for an enterprise campaign. All prices are quoted monthly and include GST.
We don’t charge in hourly increments but when you see that the average overseas SEO freelancer charges over $100 per hour, you can see why SEO costs so much.
Our Results

A premium Wollongong domestic and commercial house cleaning company contacted us in January 2020. After spending close to $50,000 They were extremely dissatisfied with the results they had received from their previous SEO provider. That SEO provider had conducted an 18-month campaign and the cleaning company was worse off than when they started. They utilized nefarious links as a part of their link-building campaign and had not provided well-written content with Google’s best practice in mind. Amongst other obvious errors, their work was obviously outsourced to the cheapest bidder overseas.
The cleaning company had received an obvious algorithmic penalty which had appeared to have devalued the authority of their website.
As a leader in the Wollongong cleaning space, the director wanted to grow their bottom line revenue and capture more market share.
This is where Maxim Media came in. We were able to increase their online search presence by over 450% in less than 12 months. We did this by creating a bespoke strategy to create and drive traffic to suburb and service based landing pages, as well as optimizing their existing content with Google’s best practice in mind. We rewrote and edited the heading structure of over 90 articles and added a further article every week explaining the do’s and do nots of the cleaning industry.
Compounded over 12 months, this contributed to a dramatic increase in site visitors as well as an increase in conversions, a decrease in bounce rate, and a significant increase in revenue. As of mid-2021, this company’s website is clearly viewed as an authority by Google and we have a very, very happy client.

When web users carry out search queries, they do so by punching specific words into search engines. These specific words are keywords or key phrases.
keywords help web users with answers to their search queries.
As a business owner or SEO practitioner, creating quality, highly targeted SEO copy starts with keyword research.
Keyword research helps us figure out:
- Who your target audience is
- What your target audience is looking for
- How best to engage with your audience
Comprehensive keyword research helps us find the ideal customers for your content, your product, or your service.
How we carry out comprehensive keyword research?
As we mentioned, keyword research helps our team find out what your target audience is looking for. More than this, keyword research helps you provide your audience with the best content that answers their search queries.
Before carrying out keyword research we need to figure out the following.
What keywords do you want to rank for?
The best way to answer this question is by brainstorming a mission statement. Your mission statement should include what your website is all about. It should also boldly state what service your aim to render to your audience.
A mission statement ensures that you target the right audience for your product or service. Your website’s mission statement also plays a crucial role in deciding the content to create, building links, and of course, keyword research.
What are the relevant keywords for your website?
Now that we’ve thoroughly analyzed your mission statement, and decided the type of content we’ll be creating on your website. Next, we need to decide the keywords that are relevant to your website.
For example, if your business deals with maintaining and repairing cars, a relevant keyword for your website might be ‘car maintenance or car repairs.’ It’s also crucial to research keyword variations and longtail keywords to narrow in on your target audience.
Determine search volume and search difficulty
When carrying out your keyword research, you’ll notice that the competition for your main keyword is stiff. Ranking for seed keywords is usually a tough task. However, keyword variations and longtail keywords provide you with low competition keywords to rank for.
We’ll make it a mission of ours to target longtail and keyword variations so you get early gains. Then as we build your site authority you’ll rank for the more difficult keywords automatically.
Keyword research is one of the pillars of a successful SEO campaign.
Keyword research helps us determine your audience and the type of content to produce.
There are tonnes of keyword research tools that are useful in keyword research but the ones our teams use the most are Ahrefs & SEMRUSH.
These tools help us to determine the search volume, ranking difficulty, research your competitors’ websites, find link-building opportunities and help us generate keyword ideas that your competitors haven’t thought of.
