Affordable SEO Services for Small Business

I work with small businesses across Australia, New Zealand, and internationally. Most of my clients are service-based businesses who rely on their website to generate consistent enquiries. I can assist with:

Small Business SEO Packages or Consulting

Some businesses need a fully managed SEO service. Others need an experienced consultant to guide strategy or support an in-house team. I offer both.

My SEO work always starts with a deep audit and competitive review so we’re fixing the right things first. Most small business websites don’t suffer from a lack of effort — they suffer from the wrong priorities.

My approach typically includes:

  • Search-intent-led keyword research

  • Competitor analysis to identify real ranking opportunities

  • On-page optimisation across structure, content, and internal linking

  • Technical SEO fixes, including indexing, crawl issues, and schema

  • Strategic link building where it genuinely adds value

I’ve helped small plumbing businesses, solo consultants, and service providers compete with much larger companies by focusing on fundamentals that actually move the needle.

The goal isn’t traffic for the sake of traffic. It’s rankings that generate enquiries and turn clicks into customers.

Optimising for AI Search & Overviews

Search is evolving beyond traditional rankings. In 2025 and beyond, visibility increasingly comes from AI Overviews, conversational search, and LLM-powered results — often before users ever click a website.

This shift is driving new terminology like GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation). In simple terms, it’s about making sure your business is the source AI systems choose to understand, summarise, and recommend.

My approach focuses on:

  • Structuring content so AI systems can easily interpret and reference it

  • Optimising for clear answers, not just keywords

  • Strengthening EEAT signals so your business is trusted

  • Improving entity clarity around who you are, what you do, and where you operate

This isn’t a replacement for SEO — it’s an evolution of it. Strong technical SEO, clear site structure, and genuinely helpful content still form the foundation. GEO/AEO ensures that same work also positions your business to appear in AI Overviews and LLM-driven search experiences as search behaviour continues to change.

PPC Advertising for Small Business

When you need faster visibility or want to support your SEO efforts, I run tightly focused Google and Meta ad campaigns designed for lead generation.

I structure campaigns around:

  • High-intent search terms

  • Clear landing page alignment

  • Accurate conversion tracking (calls, forms, enquiries)

  • Ongoing testing and refinement

Budgets are treated with respect. Campaigns are monitored closely, adjusted regularly, and built to complement your long-term organic growth rather than compete with it.

SEO Optimised Small Business Website Design

I design and build bespoke, SEO-optimised websites that don’t just look good — they’re built to rank, convert, and scale.

Every site starts with a clear information architecture so users (and search engines) can easily understand what you do, where you operate, and how to get in touch. Pages are mapped to real search intent, with simple navigation and strategic internal linking. 

Your website will be:

  • Easy to use and mobile-first

  • Structured around services and locations that people actually search for

  • Built with clean code, fast load times, and SEO foundations in place

  • Designed to turn visitors into enquiries, not just page views

Whether you’re focused on local visibility or targeting a broader market, I tailor each build to suit your industry, competition, and growth goals — not a one-size-fits-all template.

Why SEO Is Important for Small Business

SEO is no longer optional, it’s essential. Done correctly, SEO:

  • Helps your website get found when customers are actively searching

  • Delivers strong long-term ROI compared to paid advertising alone

  • Builds credibility and trust in your brand

  • Allows smaller businesses to compete with larger companies

  • Targets local customers at the moment they’re ready to act
