SEO Agency Sydney

SEO agency Costs?

SEO agencies can cost anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand and more.   

The cost of SEO agencies can vary greatly depending on the package, the hours involved to optimise your website as well as how many search terms or keywords you want to rank on and which services you require.  Hours required to depend on the industry you are in and how competitive it is as well as your current website and how well it is already optimised, the size of your site and your website technical performance.

Generally, most providers will calculate SEO packages based on expected hours to fulfil your SEO needs.   At Found Online, we have a range of packages to choose from starting with flexible plans to suit your needs. 

Can I DIY SEO or should I hire an SEO agency?

Absolutely you can start to DIY SEO your online profile.  If you have the resource, knowledge and skillset to do so, you should. 

There are some things to consider though when deciding to do DIY SEO or not DIY SEO.

To get your website to page one in search engine results pages for competitive keywords and search terms, it takes a specific skill set as well as a lot of hours to do.  You have to craft your own optimised content, create visual content and media, understand and be able to update your website including some technical updates, engage with other website owners and managers to get backlinks … just to name a few things.  This can take hours of your time which you may not have.  

Search engines are constantly updating their algorithms too.  Google makes minor changes to theirs multiple times a day with major changes announced and made less frequently.   Staying up to date and being able to test what works and what doesn’t as well as analyse data and mine for usable insights, are all critical to your success.

Using an SEO agency just means you can focus on what you do best letting your SEO provider get you results faster.    

Why can’t I find my website in SERPs?

Firstly, have you optimised for the keywords or search terms included in your search query that you are looking for your website for?  If the answer is yes, or you have hired an SEO agency to do this for you, then it could be a number of factors impacting your lack of visibility online. 

The first of which is time.  It is important to know that your SEO efforts take a little time to start paying off.  This is normally just a matter of weeks to a couple of months. 

The other problem could be that you simply aren’t investing enough time or resources into SEO.  Search engine optimisation takes a lot of effort and dedicated time and resources to get results, particularly if you are in a competitive environment online. 

However, if you believe you have all of these things right, it could be a matter of some common SEO mistakes being made.

  • How are your competitors performing?
  • Recommended keywords for your business moving forward?

This will help us come with a plan for deliverable items that we can then present to you and implement on your website to improve your rank and drive more visitors to your site.
