Here's how I'm different
to other Melbourne SEO experts
Award-Winner
At the 2019 Australian Search Awards held at the Sydney Opera House I was awarded Young Search Professional of the Year. This was from a shortlist of 10 of Australia’s top Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) specialists and experts under the age of 30.
At the Sydney Opera House, the announcement that was read out to the Australian SEO and digital marketing community included the following:
“This was a very impressive winner, their knowledge and understanding of SEO is remarkable. This winner is on the brink of becoming a key serious player in the SEO world due to their outstanding energy and potential."
Thought Leader
My advice is regularly featured in the three largest and most respected SEO publications. You can find my VIP contributor column at Search Engine Journal, alongside columns at Search Engine Land and Moz. With frequent appearances in newletters such as the Moz Top 10, #SEOFOMO and plenty more.
While writing is what I’m best-known for in the SEO industry, I’ve also presented at various SEO conferences and events within Australia, the UK and Canada. This includes SMX Advanced, BrightonSEO’s Science of Search Summit, Whitespark’s Local Search Summit, along with at Deakin University as a guest lecturer.
In High Demand
I receive a high volume of enquiries for my SEO consulting, and don't always have the capacity to take on new projects. Being an independent SEO consultant Melbourne, I complete all work myself and only work directly with clients. I offer one-off Consulting (see Featured Snippets case study), but retainer engagements are more common (see Google Discover case study).
Project focus is generally geared toward technical SEO, working with large-scale sites and on Marketplace SEO. I encourage reaching out if you're interested, because I may know someone suitable if I don't currently have capacity.

Common questions
that I get asked
Do you do white-label projects for agencies or other digital professionals?
No. I'm a independent SEO consultant that only works with clients directly. If you have a client who you think would be interested in my services, I do encourage reaching out to discuss if the project is a good fit, but your client would need to contact me directly. I may however know a suitable freelance SEO consultant that works with agencies that I could recommend.
Do you also work with clients that are based outside of Melbourne and Australia?
While I am known for being a Melbourne-based SEO Consultant, I do also regularly work with clients throughout Australia and globally. I've worked with clients in the US, Canada, the UK, and also countries where English isn't their first language and they're wanting to internationalise. So yes, I'm an SEO Consultant in Melbourne, but I operate internationally.
Do you work with small businesses who are just getting started with SEO?
These types of projects generally aren't a good fit for what I offer. I am however well-connected in the SEO world and can make a trusted recommendation for an SEO agency or another freelance SEO consultant for you to work with, whether that be an SEO Consultant Melbourne or an SEO Expert Australia and internationally. If your job title includes that you're the 'Head of Growth', 'Director of Growth' or similar, and you work for a company that's considered in the mid- to large-sized range, you're a well-suited client for my SEO consultancy.
How much do your SEO consulting services cost?
It really depends on the requirements for the SEO project, along with the size, complexity, and amount of traffic for your site or. My rate is however higher than your typical SEO consultant due to my experience and knowledge of the SEO space. My SEO consulting pricing is the same rate for both Melbourne SEO projects along with Australian and internationally.
What types of SEO clients do you normally work with and specialise in?
I work with most types of sites, aside from Local SEO projects that are focused around optimising Google Business Profiles and also SaaS providers. I also explicitly don't work with anything gambling-related. Some of my interest areas include working with marketplaces, eCommerce businesses, and also news publishers and large-scale content publishers of various kinds.
What do SEO consultants do? And how are they different from agencies?
An SEO consultant is an experienced expert in the field of search engine optimization, delivering tailored advice for websites that rely on exposure through Google's organic search results. The SEO consultant's goal is to help customers find you and remain competitive in your sector. The difference in working with an SEO consultant compared to an agency is in the experience that a consultant likely has compared to an agency employee and also the number of clients that an agency employee has compared to the consultant. SEO consultants will tend to have fewer clients than what an account manager from an SEO agency has.
