#1 SEO Sydney
Agency

There are 250,000 Google searches every day in Australia. Depending on your business and your industry, Google can be an essential way of tapping into the Sydney market in many ways.

The most obvious reason to enlist Sydney SEO Services from an agency like us, is to get your business to position 1 on Google.

But do you actually know what your audience is typing in to find businesses like you?

Do you know how your audience is using the local pack (the map that pops up in Google search), to visit businesses like yours?

Do you know whether your customers are reading long, or short form content more often, and do you know what Google is rewarding?

Do you know how Paid Ads on your target keywords might be eating into your search traffic?

It’s questions like these and more that make us one of the leading SEO agencies in Sydney. Our consultants don’t just ask these questions, they have the tools to find the answers, and provide your business with real solutions to get back in front of your target audience!

The short answer is no. But trust us when we say you do not want the cheapest SEO agency in Sydney.

SEO requires experience, industry leading insights and data driven strategies. If you are looking for the cheapest SEO agency in Sydney, you are unlikely to see success, and you are guaranteed that any success you do see, will be short-lived.

Google runs off an incredibly smart algorithm, and will know if your agency is cutting corners or using ‘black hat’ tactics. These could result in unstable performance or even put you at risk of a manual action, which will essentially black list your website, and make it impossible for anyone to find you!

Choose quality and build your business with trusted SEO services from Sydney’s leading agency.

This one is easy. Our team is the reason we are the best SEO agency in Sydney. Our SEO consultants love what they do and it shows in their work. Each member of our Sydney SEO team has a unique background and has a skill set which has taken years to perfect. We can’t wait for you to meet them!

If you’re reading this, you probably found us by searching ‘SEO Sydney’ on Google’s first page. (Hint, hint). We practice what we preach, we rank ourselves by targeting the right keywords such as ‘SEO Sydney’. Using SEO we’ve been able to be discovered by and work with plenty of amazing businesses.

If you’re looking for evidence that SEO works for your business, this is it; the proof is in the pudding. We are using the same proven SEO principles, techniques and strategies that we preach to grow our own business, and have achieved AMAZING outcomes for hundreds of our clients through the same approach.

But, like all things in life, SEO isn’t for everyone. Here are the signs that investing in organic Google rankings may not be the best option for you:

You want overnight success

There’s no magic voodoo that will create immediate payoffs for your website. A rewarding SEO campaign takes time. Google gives the highest rankings to websites that have rich, dynamic and relevant content that uses keywords in organic, contextual ways.

You can’t just ‘SEO’ your site and hope for the best on Google. Gaining those top spots takes time because Google doesn’t change a website’s ranking overnight; it can take months for Google to recognise and trust your website and its content and put you on the first page, which is when you can see SEO results.

You’re not ready to view digital marketing as a long-term investment

SEO is a long-term game – the work never really ends. Technical SEO, website content, website refresh, keyword research, the list goes on. You can always do better, adapt, test and add to your strategy.

Without continuous improvement and maintenance, or keyword research, all your hard work falls apart. We’re talking link rotting, outdated content, new Google algorithms affecting different parts of your SEO, and the competition’s website getting ahead on Google’s first page.

You’re after cheap SEO

Poorly written articles and some slap-dash link building do not make a winning SEO strategy. Choose a cheap SEO Sydney agency and you’ll get a cheap solution. They might use Black Hat tactics, such as creating spammy content and generating poor backlinks using dodgy link building practices, to give your website traffic a quick boost.

But then your website will plummet down the rankings as Google catches onto the black hat link building practices. Cheap SEO Sydney companies also have a hard time adapting to all the changes in the way search engine rankings work, offer a limited range of services, produce meaningless content…you get the gist!

Now, here’s why SEO will work for you:

You partner with an SEO company that cares

The best SEO marketing agency for you is the one that genuinely cares about the work they’re doing for your website. They’re not in it just for the money; they care about helping your business to grow organically with SEO.

No Black Hat tactics; just the proper customised White Hat SEO practices that benefit your site and comply with search engine guidelines. Granted, the SEO Sydney agency that will give you the best chance of winning with your SEO is probably not going to be the cheapest, but they will be a worthwhile investment in the long term. We promise you that.

You’re willing to invest time

Whether you’re a business owner or a big brand marketing manager, you want your business to keep growing for as long as possible. Invest time in your website with the help of digital marketing services and you are ensuring long-term growth.

You believe in the power of SEO

Businesses in Sydney face a unique set of SEO challenges due to the city’s dynamic, highly competitive digital landscape. With an expansive and diverse market, companies must vie for visibility amid a dense concentration of competitors, each targeting a similar audience. This intense competition demands not only advanced SEO strategies but also hyper-local optimisation tailored to Sydney’s varied suburbs and demographics.

Moreover, Sydney’s bustling economy and cosmopolitan population mean that consumers have high expectations for both content quality and website performance. Ensuring fast load times, mobile responsiveness, and engaging user experiences is essential, as many Sydneysiders rely on smartphones for local searches. Additionally, balancing local SEO with broader national or even international strategies can be complex in a city where local businesses must also contend with global brands.

Furthermore, the ever-changing nature of search engine algorithms and the high cost-per-click in such a competitive market require continuous monitoring, adaptation, and investment in innovative techniques. For Sydney businesses, staying ahead means not only leveraging traditional SEO practices but also embracing emerging trends and technologies to secure a strong online presence in one of Australia’s most vibrant cities.

When it comes to Sydney SEO providers there is no shortage of offerings, but very little which have any evidence driven backing or science. We’ve scoured some of the top SEO Studies and have condensed the key seo learnings for you.

According to SEO research titled Ahmad UF, Mahdee J, Abu Bakar N. Search engine optimisation (SEO) strategy as determinants to enhance the online brand positioning,  it was found that core ranking factors were valuable content, targeted keywords and scalable link building. 

These are the core building blocks our SEO offering at OMG is based on, we call them TLC and we find the best ratio needed for optimal results. These are

• Technical SEO
• Linkbuilding and Link Research, AKA Offpage SEO for all the SEO OG’s
• Content Research and SEO Content Production 

This trio of SEO focuses is what increases a website’s indexation in Google and ultimately drives some of the best traffic in the search engines.

According to a further study conducted by K. Kowalczyk and T. Szandala, “Enhancing SEO in Single-Page Web Applications in Contrast With Multi-Page Applications,” in IEEE Access, vol. 12, pp. 11597-11614, 2024, doi: 10.1109/ACCESS.2024.3355740, it was further found that “Position 1 is worth as much as 2, 3, 4, and 5 combined and is worth more than positions 5–20 simultaneously.” (link) . This means it’s no longer enough just to rank on page 1 but there is a material compounding benefit being in position 1. 

Whilst SEO click through rates are highest in the top 3 spots, SEO Competition and Keyword Difficulty is also the most competitive, this is why we hire only the best Sydney SEO Consultants who have the most extensive seo experience. See our case studies and SEO testimonials.

This is an age-old question, and the short answer is (and the correct ugly one) is “it depends”. Depends on what you may ask? Well herein below is a guide (not a warranty or promise, but the learnings of 12+ years of SEO experience) as to how long the piece of string is.

1. Current SEO positioning. Are you on Page 2? And need a firm SEO push to get you to page 1? This could be as little as 90-120 days.
2. Your SEO competitors: Are your seo competitors news websites? Big affiliate sites or comparison engines? Well this definitely does impact the realisation time for SEO results. Weaker SEO competitors means quicker seo results, bigger badder SEO competitors means you will need more effort. More effort on what? Links, content quality, user experience and hundreds of other seo ranking factors which fall under the above (TLC) 
3. Your SEO budget. SEO budget is the primary determinant of how much SEO optimisation you can do on a certain term/s. The more resources you have, the more TLC you can simultaneously perform on your website.
4. SEO Keyword competition: this is another biggy and comes down to the level of optimisation that is required to rank for your desired terms. Ie if the top 3 spots in your target phrases have copious amounts of good backlinks and great content you’re going to need to outdo them to rank (this is what the algorithm does).

Our Sydney based SEO Consultants will conduct a comprehensive, obligation free SEO review for your website before you sign on the dotted line.

There have been many great SEO Studies conducted which look at other causal factors and provide great empirical evidence on what actually moves the Google and SEO needle. See these summarised below:

• Backlinko Google’s 200 ranking factors: the complete list (learn about the seo study here) This SEO study found the top ranking factors to be, quality SEO content, high quality SEO backlinks, technical SEO optimisation, in particular mobile friendliness, seo keyword optimization, User experience and more.
• AHREFS SEO Statistics for 2024 further shows these relationships
• Pages with more referring domains get more traffic

All of the above boils down to have better TLC (technical SEO, Linkbuilding aka offpage SEO or offsite SEO as its called and last but not least, Content quality and SEO keyword relevance).
