Yes. All sessions are online. We work with businesses across Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide, and regional Australia. The work is the same regardless of location. Byron Bay is where we are based, not where we limit ourselves.
AEO is the practice of optimising your content to appear in AI-generated answers, not just traditional search results. Google AI Overview, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini all pull from a curated set of sources when they answer questions. Getting into that set requires different work to standard SEO: schema markup, topical authority, entity clarity, FAQ structure, and crawl accessibility for AI bots.
Zero-click search happens when Google answers a question directly on the results page, so the user never clicks through to a website. AI Overview has accelerated this. The counter-strategy is to be the source Google cites. If your content is cited in the AI Overview, you get brand exposure and authority even without the click. That is a different goal to driving traffic, and it requires different technical work.
It depends on the scope of work and how competitive your market is. A technical SEO audit and remediation for a small business site might be a few thousand dollars once-off. Ongoing monthly work for a competitive national market is typically $1,500 to $5,000 per month. We discuss this honestly in the first session. There is no standard package because every situation is different.
Most businesses need both. SEO builds your organic rankings in Google. AEO gets you cited in AI-generated answers. They share many of the same foundations: technical health, content quality, schema markup, and domain authority. The difference is in the specific work done on top of that foundation. We assess both in the first session and tell you where the biggest gap is.
Yes. Local SEO is one of our core services. This includes Google Business Profile optimisation, local schema markup, city and suburb landing pages, NAP consistency, and local citation building. We have done this for clients in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and regional markets. Local SEO is also one of the most reliable ways to appear in Google AI Overviews for location-based queries.
