What does an SEO agency in Sydney do?
An SEO agency improves your website so Google can find, understand and trust the pages that sell your services. That means fixing technical problems, improving service pages to match how people in Sydney search, building internal links, and strengthening local signals such as your Google Business Profile and reviews, then reporting on what changed.
How is SEO different from Google Ads?
Google Ads puts your business at the top of results immediately, but you pay for every click and the visibility stops when the budget stops. SEO earns unpaid listings that take longer to build but keep working without a per-click cost. Many Sydney businesses run Google Ads for immediate enquiries while SEO builds.
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical fixes and page improvements are usually picked up within days to weeks of Google recrawling the site. Movement in rankings and enquiries typically takes two to six months, depending on how competitive your services are, the history of the site and how much needs fixing.
What affects the cost of SEO in Sydney?
Cost depends on the size and condition of the website, how competitive your services are in Sydney, how many services or locations need pages, and whether content writing, local SEO and link building are included. Elite Marketing’s entry-level SEO packages start from $499 per month and suit small, local businesses: a website audit, Google Business Profile optimisation and an initial set of 20–30 target keywords. Larger websites are scoped after an initial review.
What should I ask before hiring an SEO agency?
Ask what they will change in the first month, how they decide which pages to improve, what the monthly report contains, and who owns the content and accounts if you stop working together. Be cautious of guaranteed rankings or cheap link packages.
Do you lock clients into long contracts?
No. Elite Marketing’s SEO engagements are month-to-month, with no lock-in contract.
Will I own my Search Console and Analytics data?
Yes. You get your own login to Google Search Console and Analytics — not a login Elite Marketing controls on your behalf.
