Search Intent
Discover More
Understanding the ‘why’ behind a search query is important – which is why it’s listed on Google’s most recent ‘Search Raters Guidelines‘ document (page 83 if you’re interested!).
Every time someone searches for something on Google or Bing or TikTok or (name your search tool of choice), they are doing so for a reason. The intent behind a search provides a lot of clues as to what they ‘re looking for. They could be looking for a particular product, want more information about an event in Perth, or have a specific brand of moisturiser they’re searching for. There are countless of reasons why people search. This all seems pretty obvious, right.
Before we start creating content that targets a particular keyword, it’s important that we break down the term and understand what it’s saying.
Take “Perth’s Best Coffee Roaster” as a keyword. This phrase may seem straightforward, but it’s rich with intent:
- “Perth’s” locates the search. The user is looking for something within Perth, indicating a desire for local business or produce.
- “Best” suggests the user is not just looking for any coffee roaster, but one that stands out in quality and reputation. They are after a premium experience.
- “Coffee Roaster” narrows down the search to those businesses or establishments that roast their own coffee, rather than cafes or stores that might just sell coffee.
A searcher using this term is looking for a sweet, local coffee roasting experience, possibly to buy beans directly from a roaster or to enjoy the freshest possible cup of coffee. If they click through to a site that instead focuses on general cafes or international coffee brands, they’ll go elsewhere.
Before we create any local Perth SEO content or SEO strategy, we look to understand the intent. Knowing this is fundamental to our SEO work.
SEO Content
Discover More
At Start, great content is the cornerstone of our SEO work. Our Perth-based team focuses on delivering content that ticks all the SEO boxes— informative, unique, fresh, and filled with the right keywords. This approach helps our client websites rank higher on Google for the words that matter.
We believe in the power of content. That’s why we combine creative storytelling with thorough data analysis. We make sure every piece of content we write connects with your intended audience, and lets Google know who you are, where you are and what you do.
Our SEO strategies are tailor-made for every market. Whether you have a local, national or international reach, we help you stand out online with content that’s not only relevant but also engaging and aligned with their marketing goals. This is particularly crucial in the competitive Perth SEO scene, where localised and optimised content is key to success.
Our commitment to ethical SEO practices sets us apart. We create well researched content and build links responsibly. This approach fits with the latest SEO algorithms and standards, and makes us a trusted partner for Perth businesses wanting a strong online presence.
By blending innovative SEO with creative content, we’re changing the game in content marketing.
Structure & Code
Discover More
Alongside a solid SEO content strategy we understand the need for a solid, smart and well built website. Just like a well-designed building, a website needs a plan, foundations, considered services, intuitive layout and a strategy for how to deliver. When it comes to SEO in Perth this means a website should be quick to load, safe (using https), and look good on phones and tablets, too. It’s also about setting up web addresses (URLs) that make sense. Plus, it’s important that we make sure to guide web visitors correctly if pages move or change, keeping things smooth and easy to use.
Website code helps search engines understand what’s on a site. It’s this code that speaks to search engines, allowing them to view important elements of your site — the titles, the meta descriptions, the organization of your content, and the hierarchy of your headings. This code doesn’t just make your website work; it ensures that it’s easy for search engines to understand, which in turn helps your site climb the rankings. A website with poor code will always struggle to rank against a website with robust, considered code.
Trust & Backlinks
Discover More
“Trust and Backlinks” are central to how SEO works and how website is viewed by search engines. Think of trust as a website’s reputation which affects how high it appears in search results – Google won’t display a site it doesn’t trust. This trust is built in several ways; how many trustworthy sites link to and share your site (known as domain authority), how users interact with your content, and the standing your site has within its niche. The stronger your reputation, the better your site performs in searches.
In many ways, backlinks stitch the internet together, one site to another. The goal of backlinks is to gather links from other sites that are seen as credible and authoritative. The more high-quality links you have, the more search engines consider you a trusted resource, which can lead to higher rankings. In essence, backlinks are a nod of approval from one site to another, a digital thumbs-up that says, “This content is valuable.”
Our Perth SEO work focuses on quality over quantity – the more trustworthy the link, the better for your website.
Shaping a new era of SEO in Perth through transparency, creativity & business growing results.

SEO Penalty Recovery
Facing sudden Google ranking drops? Our Perth SEO experts offer Google penalty recovery services to address core updates swiftly and efficiently.
A website can be hit with a Manual Action or Algorithmic Penalty. Need help understanding these penalties? We’ve got you covered.
- Manual Actions are penalties issued by Google’s Search Quality Raters when they detect violations of guidelines. The nature of the violation can be easily identified through Google notifications, with penalties typically lasting for 10-30 days after a fix has been applied.
- Algorithmic Penalties are automatic responses to core Google algorithm updates, designed to target spammy practises or violations of guidelines. Unlike Manual Actions, website owners receive no direct Google notification, requiring a more in-depth analysis. Most sites can expect a 6-month recovery period.
Recovery involves identifying the issue using tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console, then rectifying issues such as toxic backlinks or content quality for Manual Actions, and specific update-related issues for Algorithmic Penalties. Start’s Perth SEO experts ensure a quick, stress-free recovery, helping your website regain visibility and ranking with minimal disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SEO?
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. In summary, this is the process of improving your ranking in Google results for phrases that your future clients use. The goal of our Perth SEO work is to increase website traffic, visibility and conversions.
How Long Does SEO Take?
We consider our Perth SEO work to be an ongoing service and anticipate you’ll start seeing positive movements within 3-6 months. However, it’s unlikely that these steps forward will see you ranking first on Google, especially for competitive keywords. We typically recommend an SEO plan of 6 – 24 months.
While some articles and agencies will make SEO sound simple, the reality is that SEO in Perth is far from straightforward. There are over 200 ranking factors that influence website ranking. To make things more challenging Google search algorithm is constantly updated to ensure the search results are constantly improved and refined.
What we know, is that Google ranking is a constantly moving target that needs to be monitored.
It takes patience and an understanding of how SEO in Perth works. Google will rank your business above your competitors when it trusts your website is providing more valuable information. As we know from any relationship, trust takes time – especially when everyone wants to be trusted!
A study by Ahrefs, demonstrates that the average page 1 website is more than two years old. Pages that rank first for their keywords are generally almost three years old. For businesses that need more customers now, it’s a long time to wait. We’re here to say, ‘don’t despair’. By doing the right thing by Google and understanding how your competitors are ranking we believe positive SEO results can come quickly.
How Much Does SEO Cost in Perth?
The costs of SEO in Perth can vary greatly depending on specific goals, industry competition, target geography and historical SEO performance. As a premium Perth SEO agency, Start aims to deliver tailored strategies and packages to align with each client’s unique objectives and budget.
We believe in providing value through a positive return on investment (ROI). Our rates reflect the expertise and time required for each specific campaign. While cost is important, the end goal is generating strong returns – so choosing an experienced Perth SEO agency with a proven track record is key. The danger of only considering price is ending up with less qualified providers, outsourced work, or unsustainable underbidding. Attempting “cheap” SEO can risk SEO penalties, requiring months of recovery and huge lost revenue costs.
With hundreds of successful Perth SEO campaigns behind us across diverse industries, Start’s focus is your ROI. We encourage researching reviews, other quotes and credentials before investing in digital marketing services.
All Perth based SEO agencies price uniquely based on their strategies and deliverables. We price ourselves competitively while delivering first-class services, balancing time invested per account. Essentially you pay for the expertise and hours of Perth SEO specialists, researchers, and content writers dedicated to your campaign. We provide detailed quotes outlining fees and included services so you can make an informed decision on the right SEO agency partner for your goals and budget.
How Do You Measure ROI For SEO?
Measuring ROI for Perth SEO involves a focused approach that aligns with your business goals, such as revenue targets, client acquisition, and geographic expansion. Here’s a streamlined explanation:
- Setting Clear Goals & KPIs: We start by defining measurable objectives tailored to your business needs. This involves establishing KPIs that directly relate to your goals, ensuring that our Perth SEO strategies are targeted and effective.
- Evaluating Conversions: Understanding the percentage of visitors who take a desired action (like making a purchase or filling out a contact form) is crucial. We analyse how our SEO efforts are translating into actual conversions, providing a clear picture of effectiveness.
- Cost Per Acquisition (CPA): We calculate the cost involved in acquiring a customer through our SEO efforts. This metric helps in understanding the financial efficiency of our strategies and their direct impact on your bottom line.
- Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV): Assessing the long-term value of customers gained through our SEO initiatives is key. We also focus on client retention, as sustained customer relationships often indicate a successful SEO strategy and positive ROI.
- Attribution Modelling: We use advanced attribution models to understand the role of different marketing channels, including SEO, in the customer journey. This approach provides a nuanced understanding of how our SEO efforts contribute to overall business success.
By focusing on these key areas, we ensure that our Perth SEO strategies are not only aligned with your business objectives but also provide measurable, impactful results.
Does My Business Need SEO?
Whether you run a small or large business in Perth, investing in SEO should be a top priority. We firmly believe that all websites should be used as lead generators and SEO is key to making that happen. Without proper SEO implementation, your website will get little to no organic search traffic, severely limiting your ability to acquire new customers online.
If you’re in a competitive sector, you can bet that your competitors will be doing SEO in Perth.
Our Perth SEO services help businesses across all industries boost their visibility and engage with more prospective customers. By optimising your website for relevant keywords and seamlessly integrating it with your digital marketing strategy, we can dramatically increase the number of people who find your business online.

We customise our proven SEO methodology for every client to help you meet your unique business goals, whether that’s getting more calls, form submissions, or sales.

Do You Use AI For SEO?
Our Perth SEO agency strategically incorporates AI services into our SEO strategies, focusing on ethical use and human oversight. While AI assists in ideation and repetitive tasks, it doesn’t replace the authentic and original content creation essential for effective SEO in Perth. In link-building for Perth businesses, AI helps us stay ahead in search engine algorithms while maintaining our quality over quantity ethos, focusing on genuine relationship building and ethical practices.
Our Perth SEO strategies blend AI-driven insights with human expertise. This ensures not only improved rankings but also maintains the authenticity crucial for a strong online presence. Despite Google’s growing acceptance of AI-generated content, we prioritise fresh, original content that showcases your unique expertise. AI assists in research and analytics, but the final content always benefits from human creativity and insight, guaranteeing its relevance and uniqueness in the Perth SEO scene.

Can You Guarantee a No. 1 Google Ranking?
Guaranteeing a No.1 ranking on Google is a claim no ethical SEO agency can make. The complexity and continuous evolution of Google’s algorithms, which encompass over 200 factors and are not fully transparent, make such a guarantee unrealistic. Our Perth SEO agency focus on transparency and realistic goals, emphasising an initial assessment to set achievable objectives. This approach includes enhancing online visibility, increasing organic traffic, and improving keyword rankings over time, rather than promising an immediate top position.
A responsible SEO strategy involves educating clients about the long-term nature of SEO in Perth, providing regular updates on progress, and adapting to algorithm changes. Ethical practices, aligned with Google Search Central guidelines, focus on improving website quality and user experience. In the ever-changing world of SEO, quick fixes and promises of instant No.1 rankings should be approached with caution, as sustainable success in SEO is a gradual and strategic process.
Why Can't I Just Do Google Ads?
Google Ads are great for delivering immediate results – especially if you have a strong Google Ads strategy. As a Perth SEO & Google Ads agency, we often recommend running both simultaneously. Google Ads help businesses get instant visibility and traffic, while organic rankings establish credibility and trust, building long-term success. SEO compounds over time, so the assets you build continue generating ROI long after implementation.
Relying solely on Google Ads means you’ll disappear from search results when campaigns pause. Without SEO, you lose that constant stream of visitors. We’ve seen Perth businesses pour money into ads without investing in their websites or content. When budgets run dry, so does the traffic and leads. Don’t let that happen to you.
Our comprehensive Perth SEO services help businesses set strong foundations for sustainable growth. We optimise on-page elements, create high-quality content, and build credible backlinks so you rank for valuable keywords. The higher you climb in organic results, the more visibility and conversions you’ll gain without ongoing ad spend. Let’s connect to discuss how our Perth SEO strategies can take your online presence to the next level.
We have written a few articles that may help you decide whether you need one or the other – or both:
Do You Outsource Any Of Your Work Overseas?

Our dedicated Perth SEO team is based locally, allowing us to maintain a high standard of quality control and ensuring that all strategies are tailored to the specific needs of our clients.

Working with a local team facilitates easier communication and collaboration with our clients, ensuring that we are always aligned with their business goals and can respond quickly to their needs and market changes.

What About Using Those Cheap Overseas Companies?
We recommend avoiding any company or individual that offers cheap, shortcut options to an SEO strategy. There are no shortcuts in SEO and anyone that promises otherwise should be given a wide berth.
SEO in Perth relies on a strong understanding of the local and national space. If your business is providing business to Australian residents then a good knowledge of local SEO practices is vital to success. Having an SEO team that live and work in Perth is critical to your success – especially if you’re looking to connect with clients that are based in WA!

Below are some useful articles we’ve created to improve your SEO strategy.
What's the Difference Between On-Page and Off-Page SEO?
On-page SEO and Off-page SEO take complementary approaches to boosting search visibility for Perth businesses.
On-page Perth SEO focuses inwardly on your website, optimising elements like content, meta tags, URL structures and internal links to improve relevance and user experience. We incorporate targeted Perth keywords naturally throughout on-site content, helping search engines understand your business’s local authority. Schema markup further enriches page data for bots.
In contrast, Off-page Perth SEO efforts build external signals of trust, through ethical practices like backlink building, guest posts on industry blogs and outreach to local citation sites. Quality link-building aims for relevance over quantity, earning trusted backlinks from sites like universities and government portals.
An integrated SEO strategy harmonises on-page SEO and off-page SEO. This multi-channel approach establishes authority with both searchers and engines. While on-page Perth SEO centres on crafting an optimal localised web presence, off-page SEO builds relationships and industry endorsements. Together they shape a robust SEO foundation tailored for Perth searches. Our ethos values long-term growth in Perth’s digital scene, opposed to superficial shortcuts. By aligning technical SEO factors with engagement strategies suited for Perth businesses, our Perth SEO experts drive sustainable discoverability and traffic.
What Role Does Social Media Play in SEO?
Whilst social media does not directly contribute to SEO in terms of traditional ranking factors, it does have an indirect effect. A strong social media presence helps to drive traffic to your website, enhancing your brands visibility, and helping to build online trust. An integrated approach, where social media and SEO strategies are aligned, is often one of the most effective tools in boosting your online presence.
Our approach to social media as it relates to SEO in Perth, is to create social content that connects with your audience. This leads to increased traffic through shares, likes, and comments, which in turn signals to search engines that your content is valuable. Our own social media successes such as the Kings Coronation AI, lead to a huge global increase in our web traffic. Whilst these site visitors were not exactly our target audience, this traffic gave our own Perth SEO related keywords a significant boost.
Do I Have To Sign a Contract For SEO?
We embrace a client-focused approach, valuing transparency and strong relationships. This is why we don’t require contracts for our Perth SEO services. Our no lock-in contract policy means you have the freedom to opt-out whenever you feel it’s right for your business, without the constraints of traditional SEO contracts.
Our services come with clear, fixed costs and transparent reporting, ensuring no surprises at the end of the month. If additional work is needed beyond our agreed scope, we’ll consult with you first. This level of open communication is integral to how we operate.
We understand that business needs can change, which is why we only ask for a 30-day notice if you decide to part ways with our services. Our team is committed to delivering effective SEO results within a reasonable timeframe, often achieving first-page Google rankings that lead to a significant increase in leads and sales.
