Our clients rank on page 1
There are over 99,000 searches per second on Google, and results on page 2 get less than 0.83% of clicks, making it known in the industry as “the best place to hide a dead body”.
Many businesses ask if they can afford to invest in SEO – if you’re not on page 1, that means your competitors are stealing all of your potential customers – can you afford not to?
SEO Can Be Overwhelming
There’s a TON of fake news and conflicting information about SEO online. It can be extremely difficult to separate fact from fiction, and even harder to apply those lessons yourself.
After years of experimentation and working across dozens of niches, we’ve developed a simple three-step SEO framework to get websites to rank (and convert):
Understanding your users’ search intent is the crucial first step in delivering content that serves their needs. Is this person ready to buy now, or just looking for more information? Is it a complex query, or a simple one? Having a mix of informational and transactional pages on your site is critical for SEO success.
Your web pages should deliver an excellent user experience: this means they need to be fast, easy to navigate, promote engagement and time-on-page, and most important of all – answer the user’s search query. The longer they spend on the site, the more positive signals they’re sending to Google AND the higher chances you have to turn them into a customer.
Having great content isn’t enough (usually). You also need to demonstrate to users (and Google) that your site is a subject matter expert in your niche. We help you do this in two ways: 1) build topical authority through a “content cluster” strategy, giving you tons of relevant content for your users, and 2) build third-party backlinks to improve your Domain Authority.

What Do Our Brisbane SEO Agency Services Include?
Fully Managed SEO CampaignsOur most popular service offering, our fully managed SEO campaigns are a hands-free service where we do the work and you see the results. Structured with your business, goals and budget in mind, we leverage all aspects of SEO from technical to content and authority building in order to drive your ideal customers straight to your website. We just need your help in the onboarding phase to answer a few questions about your business, after that we do all the heavy lifting so you can focus on serving your customers and running your business.
SEO AuditsNot to brag, but we’ve got a kick-ass SEO Audit service, available either as a standalone service or included as part of our Managed SEO Campaigns. This detailed analysis is performed by a skilled SEO specialist in our agency and is ideal for businesses who have either done SEO in the past or whose websites are so big they don’t know where to start (more common than you think!). When auditing your site, we run through a curated 45-point checklist, including traffic analysis, keyword & competitor research, user experience factors, broken link scans, and even provide conversion rate optimisation (CRO) recommendations to help you convert your traffic at higher rates. All of this is presented to you in an easy-to-follow report that you can either send to your own team for action, or you can engage with us to implement the recommendations.
Keyword researchKnowing which keywords to target and having a clear plan of attack is the foundation of any successful SEO campaign. We pull keyword data from seven different tools (as well as your top five competitors), amassing a super-rich vault of traffic opportunities for your business. From there we prioritise based on commercial value for your business, competition, and estimated time to rank, to develop a content roadmap/strategy so you can see exactly which pages you need to build and optimise.
Local SEO ServicesWhether you serve customers at your location or at theirs, local service area businesses live and die by their online search presence. If you’re not featured in the Google Maps 3-Pack, showing in Maps searches, and aren’t getting the most out of your Google Business Profile - you’re leaving money on the table. Local searches also tend to have WAY higher commercial intent, meaning that anyone who finds your business is potentially only one phone call away from becoming a customer. Request your free marketing review to get Local SEO recommendations.
Competitor analysisWith our modern SEO tools (and expert eyes 😉), we’ve become very good at dissecting competitors’ sites and reverse-engineering their strategies. As part of your SEO campaign, we’ll analyse your top competitors’ websites, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and harvest any keywords, content ideas and other traffic opportunities for your business to use. We can show you exactly what it will take to beat your competitors’ pages on both content and authority, ensuring your site rises to the top.
Link Building ServicesHaving high-quality backlinks pointing to your website is one of the most important ranking factors in Google, and not having enough can hurt your chances of getting to the top. We specialise in white-hat link building techniques - meaning we’ll never do anything that could get you penalised by Google - leveraging blogger outreach, guest posting, and content-driven campaigns to help you get your site seen and loved by the search engines.
Technical SEOWhile keywords, link building and content are very important parts of any SEO campaign, at the end of the day, your website needs to be technically sound to get crawled, indexed and ranked by Google. Our skilled technical SEO team will audit your site’s UX, codebase server configuration in order to identify potential issues that could be holding you back from ranking. We can then provide a detailed report on how to rectify any issues, or you can engage us directly to make the changes for you.
eCommerce SEOIf you own an online store, SEO becomes even more important. So many websites are competing for the same traffic that it’s essential you not only optimise your pages and content, but also focus on conversion rate optimisation (CRO) to ensure visitors who find your website actually turn into paying customers. Our eCommerce SEO service includes keyword research, technical SEO and CRO recommendations to help you convert your traffic at higher rates.
SEO-focused blog writingFresh, relevant content is one of the best ways to keep your website up-to-date, increase visitor engagement and build trust with Google that you’re creating value for its users. Our SEO blog writing service can provide weekly or monthly blog posts tailored to fit within your industry and target audience, enabling you to grab more traffic from search and social media.

Frequently Asked SEO Questions
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the process of optimising a website to rank higher in organic search engine rankings. With an effective SEO campaign, you can increase your website’s visibility and draw more traffic from relevant searches. This is achieved by using a combination of different techniques, such as keyword research, content creation and link building.
Google ranks websites (well, actually, pages) based on their performance in over 200 different factors, everything from keyword density to page speed, bounce rate, internal & external links, domain age & authority, and more. While no one can cover EVERY ranking factor for EVERY page, we’ve narrowed down the most crucial aspects so we can prioritise the actions that move the needle fastest and most reliably, in any campaign.
The answer depends on a number of factors, including the complexity of your website, the competition in your industry and the quality of your SEO campaigns. Generally speaking, it can take anywhere from 3-6 months to start seeing results – but with time and effort, you should be able to see significant improvements within 12 months.
Yes, you’ll need to keep monitoring and updating your website in order to stay ahead of the competition. This includes things like content creation, link building, keyword research and page optimisation. You should also monitor your website analytics regularly and make changes as needed.
In SEO, as with anything, you usually get what you pay for. Our SEO services are not the cheapest SEO in the market – and, by the way, you should avoid anyone that offers “cheap SEO”. Our SEO services are, however, the single most value-packed offering available in Australia today, and we guarantee we’ll blow the competition away in both quantity and quality of deliverables. In general, our SEO packages start from $1500-2500/month, since this is the budget we’ve found to get the best results for our clients’ campaigns, but this is just an estimate and may vary depending on your needs. We always make sure to get an accurate picture of your business, goals and website’s current state before giving you a custom quote for your campaign.
SEO is one of the most cost-effective ways to get more traffic to your website and increase your online visibility. It’s also proven to be more successful than traditional forms of marketing, such as television and print advertising, with 97% of consumers using the internet to research purchase decisions.
Due to increased competition, SEO does cost more than it has in the past, which can sometimes be a barrier to entry for new businesses and startups (depending on their niche). SEO is most suitable for 1) established businesses that can afford to invest in SEO long-term, 2) local businesses who serve a specific clientele/geographic region, or 3) hyper-specific niches where the competition is minimal or still emerging.
We have a tried and tested process for auditing websites’ SEO health, where we analyse your site’s performance across 5 categories and 45 different performance criteria. A few of the things we look at include:
Reviewing the technical structure of the website, including the use of tags and elements such as title tags and meta descriptions, as well as the overall organization of the site’s content.
Analyzing the quality and quantity of the website’s content, including checking for duplicated content and identifying opportunities to create new, high-quality content.
Evaluating the website’s performance in search engines, including its ranking for relevant keywords and the number of organic visits it receives.
Examining the website’s inbound link profile and identifying opportunities to build high-quality backlinks from other reputable websites.
Analyzing the website’s social media presence and engagement, including the number and quality of followers, as well as the level of engagement on social media platforms.
Assessing the website’s mobile-friendliness and determining whether it is optimized for users on mobile devices.
Reviewing the website’s user experience, including its loading speed, navigation, and overall design.
Overall, our SEO site audit is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of a website’s strengths and weaknesses, and to identify opportunities for improvement to increase its online visibility and success. Unlike other audits, our SEO audits come with prioritised actionable insights that you can implement to start improving your website performance straight away. And if you don’t have the time or expertise to implement them, well, that’s what we’re here for. 😉
Link building is the process of acquiring inbound links from other websites to yours in order to improve your site’s ranking in search results. Inbound links, also known as backlinks, are an important factor in search engine algorithms, as they demonstrate the credibility and authority of a website. Websites with a strong inbound link profile are generally seen as more trustworthy and are more likely to rank highly in search results.
There are several tactics that can be used in link building, including:
Guest blogging: Writing guest posts on other reputable websites and including a link back to your business’s website.
Partnering with other businesses or organisations: Collaborating with other businesses or organisations and including links to each other’s websites in the partnership content.
Participating in industry discussions and forums: Engaging in industry discussions and forums and including a link to the business’s website in the discussion or forum signature.
Creating high-quality, informative content: Producing and promoting high-quality, informative content that other websites may want to link to.
Overall, link building is an important aspect of an SEO strategy, as it helps improve the credibility and authority of your website in search engines and can drive more qualified traffic to the site. We have a dedicated team of link builders who specialise in acquiring high-quality backlinks for our clients to remove the hassle for you.
SEO and paid advertising are both effective ways to get more traffic to your website, but it depends on the type of business you’re running and your goals. SEO is a long-term investment that builds up an organic presence over time, while paid advertising can bring in traffic quickly but costs money every time someone clicks – and once you switch off the ads, you switch off the traffic.
The great thing about SEO and other search-based marketing is that you are targeting people who are actively searching for the products or services you offer. This means that they’re already interested in what you have to say, and more likely to convert into paying customers. Paid advertising on the other hand – particularly interruption-based marketing like social media advertising – relies on how well your ads are targeted and how good your call-to-action & offer is. We always analyse your specific circumstances and will advise you on the best course of action; no two businesses are exactly the same, and if we think SEO is not the correct strategy for you we’ll be the first to tell you.
No. At the end of the day, good SEO is all about trust, transparency and results. We will work with you every step of the way, ensuring that all strategies are tailored to your specific goals & budget. We’re confident that once you start working with us you’ll be blown away by the work we do, and our commitment to your success, which is why we have no hesitation in working on month-to-month contracts. If you want to leave at any time, you can, no questions asked.
We will provide you with regular, detailed reports on the performance of your SEO campaign. This includes keyword rankings, website traffic and conversions, as well as specific insights into what’s working and what needs to be improved. You can also use Google Analytics and Google Search Console to track changes in your website’s organic traffic over time. We will also be available to discuss any questions or concerns you may have about your campaign. Together, we can help you build a great online presence and drive more business through your website.
SEO is not a one-time process and requires ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the ranking of a website in search results. There are several reasons for this:
Search engines are constantly updating their algorithms to improve the quality and relevance of search results. Because of this, the factors that influence a website’s ranking in search results can change over time. To stay competitive, it is important to regularly review and update a website’s SEO strategy to ensure that it is in line with the latest best practices and trends.
The online landscape is constantly evolving, and new websites and pages are being added to the internet all the time. To remain competitive, it is important to continually monitor and adapt to changes in the industry and in the behavior of potential customers. And don’t forget – your competitors might be doing SEO too!
The content on a website should be regularly updated: to keep visitors engaged and to demonstrate to search engines that a website is active and relevant, it is important to regularly update the content on your website. This can involve creating new content, updating existing content, and removing outdated or irrelevant content.
Overall, SEO is an ongoing process that requires regular attention and efforts to maintain and improve the ranking of a website in search results. Getting to the top is half the battle – staying there is the other half!
At Ape-X, we are committed to staying up-to-date on the latest SEO trends and best practices in order to deliver the best results for our clients. We do this by following industry blogs and publications, attending industry conferences and events, participating in industry forums and groups, and conducting regular self-education. By staying informed and engaged in the industry, we are able to continuously improve our skills and knowledge and provide the highest level of service to our clients.
There are many factors that can impact a website’s ranking in search results, including:
Relevant, high-quality content: Search engines want to provide users with the most relevant and useful results, so it is important for a website to have high-quality, informative content that is relevant to the user’s search query.
Keywords: Including relevant keywords and phrases in the website’s content, titles, and meta tags can help search engines understand the content of the website and determine its relevance to particular searches.
User experience: A website’s design and navigation should be user-friendly and easy to use, as this can impact the user’s experience and the website’s ranking in search results.
Technical factors: The technical structure and performance of a website can impact its ranking in search results. This can include factors such as the website’s loading speed, mobile-friendliness, and the presence of technical errors or issues.
Inbound links: Inbound links from other reputable websites can help improve the credibility and authority of a website, which can in turn improve its ranking in search results.
Social signals: The activity and engagement on social media platforms can impact a website’s ranking in search results, as search engines may interpret this as a sign of the website’s popularity and relevance.
Overall, a combination of high-quality content, relevant keywords, a positive user experience, technical factors, inbound links, and social signals can all impact a website’s ranking in search results.
Measuring the return on investment (ROI) from SEO can be challenging, as it can be difficult to attribute specific sales or conversions directly to SEO efforts. However, there are several metrics that can be used to help measure the ROI from SEO:
Traffic: One way to measure the ROI from SEO is to track the increase in traffic to the website. This can be done using web analytics software, such as Google Analytics, which can provide insights into the number of visitors to the site and the sources of that traffic.
Conversion rate: Another way to measure the ROI from SEO is to track the conversion rate of the website. Conversion rate is the percentage of visitors to the site who take a desired action, such as filling out a form, making a purchase, or subscribing to a newsletter. By tracking the conversion rate over time, it is possible to see if SEO efforts are having a positive impact on the number of conversions on the site.
Revenue: Tracking the revenue generated by the website can also provide insights into the ROI from SEO. By comparing the revenue generated before and after implementing SEO efforts, it is possible to see if there has been an increase in revenue as a result of the efforts.
These factors also vary depending on the type of business your run – for example, an eCommerce business can segment their sales by organic traffic origin to measure revenue generated by SEO, whereas a service-based business who do not transact/sell directly online and instead rely on speaking with customers to convert them, need to be familiar with their lead-to-conversion rate (LCR) and average transaction/value (AOV). Knowing your lifetime customer value (LTV) is also helpful in getting an accurate estimate on your SEO ROI. Sorry, we know that’s a lot of acronyms!
Overall, tracking a combination of these metrics can help businesses measure the ROI from SEO and determine the effectiveness of their efforts.
