Want An SEO Marketing Agency Who Can Actually Deliver Results?

In order to explain why we are not just another SEO agency who will take your money, promise the world and fail to deliver, we need to start at the beginning.

So…

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth…

Just kidding.

Here’s what I actually mean:

What Actually Is SEO?

In order to explain how something can be done better, you need to first understand the basic fundamentals of the thing you are doing.

Don’t worry, I won’t bore you with endless paragraphs about all the technical aspects of SEO. I will summarise it into just one sentence:

SEO is the process of making your website the most relevant result Google can show for a particular keyword.

That’s really the core of it.

Now, there is a long list of things that go into doing exactly that, but I’ll break it down into two key components.

The Two Key Components of SEO

To summarize it, there are ultimately two key components to SEO:

  1. Getting the website to actually show up on Google Search when someone searches a relevant keywords, so that you get people on your website
  2. Once people click on the website, getting them to buy

Number 1 is important because without showing up on Google and getting visitors to your website, nobody will ever see your website (assuming you aren’t running ads), so you may as well not have one.

Number 2 is important because you can get as many people as you want on your website, but if it doesn’t give them what they want or does a rubbish job at selling your product or service, they will never buy from you.

Unfortunately, while this might sound simple, getting both of these right is where most SEO agencies fail to deliver.

Here Are the Most Common Things That SEO Agencies Get Wrong:

First, let’s address point #1 – getting the website to show up on Google:

  • They go after keywords which get little to no search volume, so you show up on page 1 and get a ranking report that looks good but don’t get enough traffic onto your website to actually increase your business
  • They only focus on the hardest keywords that either take really long to rank or never end up ranking, and as a result you miss out on 1) time, while you hope for this to happen, and 2) money, from the low hanging fruit you could have gone after during that time and have been making money
  • They are actually incompetent and don’t do basic SEO correctly (much more common than you would think)
  • They use “black hat” tactics that are against Google’s guidelines to get you to rank quickly but practically guarantee that your website will drop at the next update (this one is not as common any more, but you still need to be aware of it)
  • They are a big agency and don’t really care, so you end up just a number to them and don’t get any actual results (raise your hand if you’ve had this)

Second, let’s address point #2 – making the sale:

  • They don’t know how to actually sell, so people land on the website but then don’t buy (a major problem with most SEO “experts” – because they are very technical people and don’t actually understand how to sell something)
  • They don’t understand conversion rate optimization so your website doesn’t do a good job converting all the visitors into customers (similar to the point above)
  • The miss obvious things like having a phone call button and contact form on the pages people land on
  • They focus on arbitrary metrics like website visitors or rankings when what most business owners are really after is actual sales

What’s Going to Happen When You Hire a “Cheap” SEO Agency

I’m going to explain to you exactly what’s going to happen when you hire an SEO agency who doesn’t know what they are doing. Typically these are the ones who charge a few hundred dollars per month, but there are definitely more expensive agencies that also fall into this category as well.

First of all, they typically don’t actually have the skills and resources to produce good results, which is exactly why they charge so little in the first place.

As an SEO agency, we can tell you that it is literally impossible to deliver the amount of work required to get a website to rank in even a relatively competitive niche for $500 per month. It is simply not possible, which means the person charging that money is either working for free, eating the cost out of their own pocket, or simply not doing what the quality of work that is actually required to make it happen (Hint: more than likely the last one).

While you think you might be saving money, what actually happens is you will pay them for 6-12 months, or maybe even longer, under the premise that “SEO takes 6-12 months to see results”. Then 6 months rolls buy, then 12, then 18, and you are still not seeing any significant increase in business.

So you spent anywhere from $3500 – $9000 (assuming you were paying only $500 per month), but got literally nothing for it. So not only are you now down that money, but you just lost anywhere from 6-18 months as well.

Now the only way to fix this is to hire someone who does know what they are doing, which is going to cost you EVEN MORE money.

How to Do SEO Correctly

Now that we’ve covered what can go wrong and all the things you need to be aware of, let’s talk about how to actually do SEO correctly, why what we do works, and what kind of result you can expect.

To begin with, you first need to identify what keywords you should be going after which are likely to bring you business in both the short and long term.

These fall into two categories:

  1. “Short tail keywords”, which are the ones that get the most traffic but are also the most competitive (such as “lawyer Chicago” or “auto repair la”)
  2. “Long tail keywords” which are less competitive but get less searches (things like “how much does an oil change cost” or “

You want to go after keywords which are likely to bring you business, but that you also have a chance to rank for. In the beginning, you typically need to go with the less competitive, less searched keywords.

As you rank for more and more of these keywords, you will start to get traffic and over time build up what’s called “topical authority”, which is when Google considers your website relevant to a particular topic. When this happens, you will rank for practically all keywords within that topic much quicker and easier.

Basically, what you are doing is building trust with Google by showing them that you know what you are talking about, and that visitors like your site because you gave them what they were looking for. And in turn, they reward you with higher rankings.

By this point, you will already be seeing a good amount of traffic and depending on how much work you put into it usually takes between 3-9 months.

While this is happening, you will want to make sure that your website is actually converting visitors into customers.

This means doing conversion rate optimization, which is the process of optimizing the website to increase conversions.

This is also now a ranking factor which means that the higher your conversion rate, the higher you are likely to rank (double win!).

Now, in order to do this, you have to actually know what works, what to write on the page, where to put what, and how to convince the user to buy.

Unfortunately, that key component is usually what’s missing with SEO agencies, and is something that sets our service apart.

In reality, when you work with us, you are getting far more than just SEO.

You are actually getting an entire marketing strategy.

Before doing anything, we actually make a plan with you, to make sure that it’s going to:

  1. Actually work
  2. Be worthwhile doing
  3. Be profitable for your business

Once we have established that, yes we do the SEO, but we also work on positioning your business as the best option the customer has, so that you stand out from the competition and significantly increase the amount of people who buy from you.

We do this using a combination of copywriting skills as well as our experience with what works, which allows us to write extremely high converting sales pages that both rank and get customers.

This unique combination is how you make an extremely profitable SEO strategy that works quickly and is extremely profitable.

We started working with Mateja mid 2022 and were getting around 20 leads per month through our Google ads and website in the months prior. Mateja optimized our entire website and Google Ads campaign, which resulted in an increase to over 90 leads per month without increasing our ad budget. With the increased performance we were confident to spend more money on ads and explore running ads in new practice areas which allows us to bring in even more lucrative cases for our business. We highly recommend Mateja. He is reliable, full of great ideas, and gets the results.

Outstanding, Mateja revived our non functioning website back to page 1 of google. I had approached 3 other companies but Mateja stepped up and owned it and still goes beyond our expectations. We get so many comments from customers and the leads keep growing every month. Kev@AAwreckers (1998) Ltd.

We were looking to expand our service shop and our offering, going from two lifts to four in our new facility, and we hired Mateja to build a website and run our online marketing. Our previous marketing was focused on our manufacturing operation that sells overseas, we hadn’t invested much in our local service offering at that time. Over the 12 months after engaging Mateja, we had an increase of cars in the shop to about double our previous volume, and a noteworthy change in the mix across brands that we service. Mateja has been helpful as a one-stop shop helping us to market across several different digital channels, and his proactive ideas and content generation have helped us to keep up with shifts in the market.

We started working with Mateja over 3 years ago when our website dropped from page 1 of Google due to changes made by a web designer, and we couldn't get it back. Mateja managed to not only recover our website and get the rankings back, but has since increased our traffic to 4X more than before, going from around 500 users per month to around 2000 users per month, resulting in around 400 leads per month as of the last two months. _ Thanks a lot!

Search Engine Optimisation

Obviously the SEO itself is part of this service, which means your entire website will get optimised along with anything off-site that need to be done, such as:

  • Google Business (Maps) Listing
  • Backlinks
  • Business directory listings
  • Social media profile optimisation
  • Google Search Console

With our SEO service, website and landing page optimisation is always included.

If that means having to build out the whole website in a new platform (such as WordPress) to allow us to properly optimise the site and install conversion tracking, we will do it.

This allows us to make sure we are getting as many people as possible to contact you, and continually optimise it to be better and better.

This also includes general website maintenance and updates at no extra cost. 

Want to update some images? Need a new page for a new service you are offering? No worries, that’s part of the package.

(As a side note, as surprising as it is, many marketing agencies don’t actually include this with their marketing services.)

Conversion Tracking

Conversion Tracking

Conversion tracking is a crucial part of any marketing campaign so that you actually know if it’s working or not.

We always track all conversions (meaning leads) including form submissions, phone number clicks and email clicks.

This allows us to know exactly what is working, what isn’t, and optimise accordingly. 

Without this, you are basically working blind (most marketing agencies out there).

Having spent years learning from some of the best copywriters on the planet, we understand what it takes to get people to want to buy.

Combine that with our experience marketing a wide range of businesses, we know what to say and how to say it to make your business the best option in the eyes of a potential customer.

Every page we put together is carefully and methodically written to get people to take action and contact you immediately.

That’s how you get double digit conversion rates and a very profitable marketing campaign.
