SEO Perth

SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is the process of optimising your website to rank higher in search engine results for keywords relevant to your business. Higher rankings mean more visibility, more traffic, and ultimately more leads and sales.

The primary benefit of SEO is earning organic traffic to your website without paying for every click through platforms like Google Ads. SEO works by optimising your site across Google’s 200+ ranking signals, including technical performance, content quality, backlink authority, and user experience.

SEO is a long-term investment that compounds over time. The work done today continues generating traffic and leads for months and years to come.

Google ranks websites based on over 200 factors, including:

Domain authority: Your domain’s history, age, and trustworthiness.

Technical SEO: Site security (SSL), navigation, architecture, and sitemap quality.

On-page SEO: Keywords, content length, metadata, and internal linking on individual pages.

Backlink profile: The quantity and quality of external sites linking to yours. Authoritative, relevant backlinks signal trust to Google.

User behaviour: Click-through rates, bounce rates, and repeat visitors all indicate content quality to Google.

Understanding these factors is why working with experienced SEO specialists makes a significant difference in your results.

The time SEO takes to deliver results depends on your website’s current state, your industry’s competitiveness, and your existing backlink profile.

Every website starts from a different position. Some need foundational technical fixes before any ranking improvements are possible. Others have a solid base and can see movement within weeks. As a general guide, most businesses begin seeing meaningful improvements within 3 to 6 months, with results compounding over time.

SEO costs vary significantly depending on your industry, competition, current website performance, and goals. Services range from $1,000 to $100,000+ per month across the Australian market.

The key factors that determine cost include: how competitive your industry is, your website’s current performance, how ambitious your SEO goals are, and whether there are existing issues that need fixing first.

We provide tailored pricing after understanding your business. If an SEO company quotes you before asking these questions, that’s a red flag. PWD quotes after a scoping call rather than from a rate card, and the retainer runs on a six-month initial term with no long-term lock-in.

Technical SEO: Optimising the foundational technical aspects of your website.

Content Optimisation: An SEO content specialist audits and optimises your content’s keyword density and topical relevance to outperform your competition.

Link Building: Building high-quality, authoritative links to your website through our outreach link-building program.

Mobile SEO: Your search rankings on desktop and mobile tend to be different. We ensure your website is mobile-responsive and able to rank for mobile searches.

SEO Auditing: An SEO audit is a great way to pinpoint what needs to change on your website and set a benchmark for future performance.

International SEO: Optimise your website to increase organic traffic globally.

Ecommerce SEO: An eCommerce SEO campaign is quite different to traditional (local) SEO. Our team of digital marketing experts have years of experience optimising websites for eCommerce brands.

Local SEO: For businesses only concerned with ranking in one location. Our SEO consultants can grow organic traffic for local businesses like plumbers, electricians, or other local businesses. We do this by optimising your Google Business Profile and ensuring you have relevant local content.

SEO & Website Migration: We ensure that when your new website goes live, you don’t drop off the face of Google.

JavaScript SEO: Ensuring your site can be crawled by Googlebot. What Google sees and what a user will see are two very different things.

Content marketing is an important element of SEO. Businesses have an opportunity to differentiate themselves by creating fresh, valuable and relevant content that audiences will go out of their way to consume. The very best content marketing is educational in nature rather than promotional. Some examples of content that adds value to your reader’s day could include items like websites, blogs, newsletters, YouTube videos or podcasts, or highly sharable content. When it comes to content marketing for SEO, highly shareable content, or “linkbait”, is used to acquire backlinks.

An example of content marketing:

HubSpot’s blog is a prime example of content marketing driving SEO. By providing valuable, in-depth articles on marketing, sales and customer service, they consistently rank at the top of Google for key terms related to inbound marketing. Their blog not only drives organic traffic but also encourages backlinks from industry experts and websites, enhancing their SEO efforts.

Entertaining and engaging your audience properly creates brand awareness and loyalty like no other while simultaneously contributing to SEO success.

Local SEO optimisation is the process of optimising your website for customers in a specific geographic location or multiple locations. If your business has a physical presence, this allows walk-in customers to locate your office and purchase your products or services easily.

Regardless of your website’s current rankings, our SEO specialists can definitely help improve your position in search engine result pages (SERPs). Our SEO team will also do some preliminary analysis to establish whether search engine optimisation will provide you with an acceptable return on investment (ROI).

SEO is a potent tool for improving the presence of your business. However, execution is everything.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of SEO companies that promise the world and fail to deliver on those promises. If you’ve worked with one of these SEO companies in the past, you’ll understand that words don’t always equal results.

The truth is that SEO is HARD.

But the results are definitely worth the effort and investment.

Anyone that sells you the dream of instantly sailing up the ranks of Google isn’t telling you the truth. The in house SEO team at PWD can get you to the first page of Google in less time than other Perth SEO agencies. However, we don’t sell false expectations at PWD.

We do things a little differently…

We set realistic expectations based on the SEO results that we’ve achieved for customers. We deliver transparent reporting with comprehensive information that allows you to track the progress we’re making for your business. We develop a long-term strategy to ensure that your business continues to rank highly for the right (high intent) keywords.

The main difference between Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is that SEM is a paid medium, whereas SEO is focused on acquiring organic traffic. SEM utilises Pay Per Click (PPC) forms of advertising. An example of PPC advertising is Google Ads (AdWords).

Using Google Ads in combination with SEO helps to form a complete marketing strategy. SEO is what we call a “slow burn”, as results can take longer. PPC advertising is used to fund SEO in the short term. Once the website reaches position one, you can turn your ads and expect more leads for less cost.

Ranking on the first page of Google is an ambitious goal. We’ll ensure that you have the very best chance of achieving it. We live and breathe the SEO industry and constantly stay up to date with constantly evolving SEO practices so that you don’t have to. Rest assured your SEO campaign will be utilising the latest research, tools and technology to reach the highest position possible.

We’re 100% transparent about the time and resources required to reach your SEO goals. You’ll understand the difficulty and investment required from the outset, so there are no surprises.

No independent ranking of Perth SEO agencies exists, so judge on four things you can verify: where the SEO team sits, what the contract commits you to, which case studies are published with figures, and which certifications the agency holds. PWD passes all four: team in West Leederville, public terms, named case studies with numbers, ISO 9001 and ISO 27001. Run every shortlisted agency through the agency proof checklist.

Yes, through three parts: a Google Business Profile that earns the local pack, service pages that answer what people search for, and reviews that help both rank. For home builder Direct Homes WA, organic search visits rose 96% year on year, from 7,541 to 14,754, and enquiries from organic search rose 46%, from 357 to 521.

Hire an agency whose SEO staff sit in Perth, who show you the work every month, and who let you leave if results stop. That is how PWD operates: strategists, copywriters and technical staff in West Leederville, a monthly report showing rankings, traffic and enquiries, and a six-month initial term that then rolls month to month.

The best fit is one team running both, with one report and shared keyword data between organic and paid. At PWD the SEO and Google Ads Perth teams sit together, so the search terms that convert in paid campaigns feed the organic content plan, and you get one cost per enquiry figure across both channels.

Some do, but many subcontract one of them or run them as separate departments that never share data. PWD runs both in-house from West Leederville, reporting to the same account manager. Ask any agency who manages each channel, where that person sits, and whether the SEO and Google Ads reports use the same conversion tracking.

Five symptoms are the usual triggers: enquiries falling while ad spend rises, competitors above you for your own service terms, no presence in the local map pack for your suburb, a site rebuild that lost rankings, and nobody on your team able to explain last month’s numbers. Two or more mean organic search is costing you enquiries every week.

Ask three questions: which client outranked a bigger brand, on which terms, and what the agency did differently. A good answer names the client, shows before and after figures and explains the tactic. For Kooya Salary Packaging, competing with national providers on every novated lease result page, organic visits rose 72% year on year and the novated lease page more than doubled its organic traffic.

PWD does not publish a rate card: we quote after a scoping call, once we have seen your site, your competitors and the terms you need to rank for. Three things move the price most: competition on your target terms, the number of locations, and the volume of content needed. There is no long-term lock-in contract either way.

PWD runs generative engine optimisation alongside SEO for every client who wants it, from the same West Leederville team. In practice that means pages written so Google ranks them and AI assistants cite them: direct answers high on the page, structured data and consistent business information. Ask other agencies whether AI search work is a separate product or part of the retainer.
