Digital marketing services for Australia businesses

We know how Australian customers search and buy

AJ, our founder, has spent 20 years in marketing. He cut his teeth inside one of the big media agencies, working on campaigns with serious budgets and serious scrutiny. These days he works directly with business owners, bringing that same discipline to budgets that have to earn their keep. No layers of account managers, no jargon, and no pushing services you don't need.

Australia is a small-business economy. There were 2,814,778 actively trading businesses at 30 June 2026, and around 97% of them employ fewer than 20 people (ABS, Counts of Australian Businesses, August 2026). That means tradies, clinics, cafes, agents and service businesses competing suburb by suburb, often with the owner answering the phone. Our work is built for that reality: lean budgets, real enquiries, and reporting you can read in five minutes.

Australians search on Google first, then check Google Maps, reviews and your website before they call. Plenty of our clients are service-area businesses that travel to the customer, so we plan around suburbs, regions and drive times, not just a street address. Our Australian clients include a day spa and an assisted stretching studio on the Gold Coast, a 24/7 towing company in Perth and a real estate agent on Sydney's Lower North Shore.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with businesses outside Sydney?

Yes. Sydney is our home base, but we work with businesses right across Australia, in capital cities and regional towns. Our current clients are on the Gold Coast, in Perth and in Sydney, and everything we do works well over WhatsApp, phone and video calls.

How much does digital marketing cost for a small business in Australia?

Our prices are published in AUD: websites from $990, SEO from $770 per month, Google Ads management from $500 per month (ad spend is separate and paid to Google), and Google Business Profile or AI Optimisation from $3,500 per year. We'll recommend the one or two services that will actually move the needle for you, not the whole list.

Which service should I start with?

For most local businesses it's a solid website and a properly set up Google Business Profile, because everything else points to those two. If you need calls quickly, Google Ads can run alongside while SEO builds over time. We'll tell you honestly what makes sense for your budget.

Do I own my website and accounts?

Yes. Your website, domain, Google Ads account and Google Business Profile belong to you. If you ever decide to move on, you take everything with you.

Do you lock clients into long contracts?

No. There are no lock-in contracts beyond what's written in your quote. We'd rather keep you because the work is paying off, and our plain-English monthly reports make it easy to see whether it is.

Can you teach me to do some of it myself?

Happily. Some owners want it all done for them, others want to learn how to post on their Google Business Profile or read their Google Ads reports. AJ is glad to show you how, and to do the parts that aren't worth your time.
