Gain more customers and more business with effective SEO

For 15+ years we have been doing SEO work for clients. There is no question that AI has affected how people search for products and services. This is why we have invested time and effort into also learning the relatively new concept of AEO (Answer Everywhere Optimisation) & GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation), otherwise known as SEvO (Search Everywhere Optimisation). We even use tools like surferseo.com. Recently, we wrote and published a free resource explaining just some of the steps involved in doing Local SEO. Click here to view it.

If you want more customers and more sales in 2026, we can help using Local SEO and/or Nationwide SEO. We can do this by:

  • Providing you with an excellent website that will convert visitors into customers (a conversion-focused website)
  • Increasing your visibility in Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo and the new ChatGPT Atlas Browser
  • Get your website (your business) discovered by more people (more potential buyers)
  • Help people discover your website when they search using words like "best plumber [location], or quality boho fashion clothes at best prices", or "quality locksmith near me", etc
  • Provide you with SEO tutoring, if you wish to learn how to do SEO work
  • Help your business get mentioned by Google AI Overview, AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, etc.
  • Help your business get mentioned by voice search tools like Alexa
  • Work collaboratively with you (and your sales team, if you want us to)

Whether you’re starting from scratch, or your current SEO efforts are plateauing, our SEO experts are here to do highly effective SEO & AEO, and help dramatically improve your number of leads, enquiries, new customers and overall sales.

There is a great BIG difference between a quick start to SEO vs REAL SEO work.

Many website designers mislead by saying SEO is done. REAL SEO is not done, unless you have been paying for it for at least 6 months, and the work has been done each month… AND it has been done correctly (and in the last 12 months).

There are many activities that need to be done when REAL SEO is undertaken, and they can not be done all at once. Some of these things are:

  • Keyword research
  • High-quality website (a conversions-focused website)
  • End-user friendly website design
  • On-website SEO
  • Landing pages
  • Technical SEO
  • Off-website SEO
  • Content creation
  • AEO and GEO work
  • Citations
  • LinkBuilding
  • Conversions tactics
  • CRO (Conversion Rate Optimisation)
  • and much more

There are SEO campaigns where we have to do over 30 hours work each month, for 7+ months.

SEO is not a 2 hour ‘set and forget’ activity… and is FAR from it!

Ask us to do a SEO audit. We’ll then let you know if SEO work has been done fully, correctly and/or not done at all. Contact us to ask for a ‘SEO Audit’.

Some of it might be, if it was done correctly. But a lot of it will be out-of-date.

If SEO work was done 3 years ago (or prior to 3 years), it will be partly outdated, and won’t be working anywhere near as well as it could be. It may not even be helping at all.

There have been many changes to SEO in 2025 and 2026 due to AI Search. Old SEO work, needs to be updated by professionals.

PS. SEO should be reviewed at least every 6 months. Amongst things, you need to know that there has been no Negative SEO done to your business, by 3rd parties wanting to hurt your business.

Please note:

Bringing more visitors to your website is only half the battle — converting them into new customers is one of the other keys to website success. A good introductory article about Conversion Rate Optimisation is here.

“Increase in lead enquiries for our premium services”

“Jay has helped me optimise the website for search engine traffic and has created extra levels to the website allowing us to increase our market. Already within launching the website we have had an increase in lead enquiries for our premium services. Our old website had become a ‘cyber slug’. […] I would have no problem with recommending Jay and his team to anybody.”

A. Logan – Quay Street Physiotherapy – Bundaberg

“

“Jay even educated us on Google rankings”

“Our old website was ugly, uninspired and unwelcoming and we didn’t rank in Google, nor did we often receive online enquiries. […] GVD provided us with a fantastic new website that truly reflects our business. It and their SEO work has dramatically increased our visibility in Google and number of enquiries. Thank you Jay and the GVD team!”

Alex Bramley – Hinkler Podiatry – Bundaberg

“

“I now have an effective website that can be trusted to do the job”

“In the middle of April 2019 I realised to my horror that the website I created could not be found in a Google search. That meant that all the marketing I was doing was going no-where. […] When I approached Jay from Green Valley Digital (GVD) for assistance, he sorted this out asap.”

T. Boas – Yoga Festival – Bundaberg

“

“A tremendous effort”

“The website itself looks just how we wanted it to and incredibly within 2 months from site launch we are now on page 1 in Google for the search term “bullock team” and other search phrases. We have had a massive amount of excellent feedback about our website. From what I have witnessed Jay and his team sure goes the extra mile to ensure success. They have done much more than our website and some SEO work.”

R. Morris – Gleneden Farm – Maryvale, Qld

“

“I was in professional hands”

“I approached Jay to provide me with a start-up business marketing package. Jay and his team have put in a tremendous effort including assembling my website within a very short timeframe. My first enquiry from my newly launched website started with “I have just found your great website from a google search…” — the best feedback you could hope for!“

Mrs L. Stewart – Tonic Outdoor Fitness – Brisbane

“

“Top shelf service and support”

“I could tell that Jay and his team were genuinely interested in helping my business grow! Jay added elements to my existing website, very cost-effectively, that have encouraged additional enquiries from the site. […] I then decided to ask Jay create a new website for me. It is 1,000 times better than my old website! […] Top shelf service and support at a very reasonable price… Jay’s got my vote!”

A. Munn – CrossFit Bundaberg (Former owner) – Noosa

“

“Highly recommend”

“I have worked with Jay Daniells and his team for a variety of web projects. I have no hesitation in recommending Jay to other businesses, as I know that I’m getting the best value for money as well as lots of added advice on SEO and techniques and tips to make my website’s the best they can be.”

J. Marsellos – Bundaberg Regional Galleries (Former Marketing & Sponsorship Officer)

“

“All facets of our business needs are being continually met”

This saves us so much time and takes away a lot of stress allowing us to concentrate on the daily operations of our business.“

FAQs

We’re always happy to answer questions and/or share information. Below are just a few frequently asked questions. If you have other questions, you may find them on our FAQ’s page. Or feel free to contact us and send any questions you have.

What do people do when they need to find a plumber, or some other business type in their local areas? They search Google or ask Alexa (or a similar device). Some also use AI tools like ChatGPT.

Most people search Google to find:

  • Services they need
  • Review products and/or learn about specific products
  • When they want to buy products online.

More and more people are also using AI tools like Google Gemini, Claude and ChatGPT (and others).

Without strategic SEO, AEO & GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation), your website will not be easily found by these people who are doing these types of searches.

There is a strong correlation between business growth and SEO (and AEO & GEO). If a business isn’t achieving desired results or growing as quickly as they would like, or is finding business is slowing down, then it’s definately time to look at the SEO, AEO and GEO.

If your website is not ranking well in Google for search terms people are searching (eg. “best home builder near me” or “mower person near me” or “florist near me” or “buy quality Australian made yoga pants”, etc) you’re missing out on business.

If AEO & GEO is also not done, you’re also missing out on AI search opportunities, which are on the rise.

Please note: If your website is ‘average’ and doesn’t entice, inspire, impress and/or encourage people to want to buy from you, this is the first thing that needs to be fixed, as a first step towards effective SEO, AEO & GEO.

PS. If you don’t know if your website is good (and will convert visitors to customers well) or not, request our free website audit review service.

There are many reasons. Here is one:

If you are not using SEO (or not using it correctly), your competitors are. Even if you think they are not, any one of them can very quickly start using SEO and then all of a sudden: you are getting less new business, because it is going to them instead. 

Without excellent SEO, your competitors are winning jobs and projects, that you don’t even know about. You’re not getting a look-in, because:

  • Potential customer are not finding your website (therefore, they don’t know your business exists)… and even if they do, they don’t know how good your business is, because they have not looked at your extremely well-designed and strategically crafted website that ‘converts’ (because it has been crafted by professionals).

No it’s not. It is not expensive at all.

If Local SEO (the cheapest end of Local SEO) cost $250 – $600 per month (for a min of 6 months), and it bought in $200,000 (or more) in additional gross revenue into your local business in the next 2 years, is this expensive? No it is not. It is REALLY good ROI!

Similarly, if the SEO was $500, $700, $1,000, $2,000, $4,000, etc per month, and it generates 50x (or a lot more) of the cost of the SEO in the next 12 to 24 months, and keeps doing so year-on-year for the next 3+ years, do you really think this is expensive?? No it is not. It’s really good ROI!

If every dollar of SEO work returns $50+ dollars (or more), that is really good ROI. 

SEO is highly affordable as an investment, if done CORRECTLY BY EXPERTS!!

—————————

PS. Have you priced the cost of radio ads, billboard signs and TV ads lately?
Local SEO provides a significantly better short and long-term ROI than radio ads, billboard signs and/or TV commercials. SEO is a sustainable, compounding investment asset that generates great ROI.
Nation-wide SEO does the same!

All websites we build have some SEO built into them. They are Search Engine friendly and SEO-ready. They include features that will help boost your Google rankings. Additional SEO, AEO & GEO services are then available to help further optimise and improve your website rankings and visibility in AI tools. We also provide bi-monthly or monthly reporting.

Yes we do a lot of Local SEO work. 

Local SEO vs regional and Nation-wide SEO are three very different things. We have extensive experience in each.

If you’re not sure what “Local SEO” and “Nation-wide SEO” is, we suggest either:

  • Visiting YouTube and doing some research. There is plenty of information about these 2 topics.
  • OR contact us and ask. We’re more than happy to answer questions.

As mentioned above in this webpage, we recently wrote and published a free resource explaining many of the main steps involved in doing Local SEO. Click here to view it.

It’s only a scam if you pay people to do SEO who don’t know what they are doing! Or they take your money and don’t actually do any work or get any results.

On the other hand, we have over 17 years’ experience doing SEO and we get results!

Be assured; hundreds of thousands of businesses in Australia invest in SEO each year. Why? Because it works REALLY jolly effectively, and the potential ROI is huge!

It’s also why there is information on the Queensland Government website, the NSW Government website and other State websites about it.

Absolutely! SEO is cost-effective and the returns are fantastic! Imagine tripling your sales each month? That’s pretty easy when SEO is done correctly. Now imagine 10x-ing your monthly sales!… and even going beyond that!

The answer to this one is really simple: it depends. 

If you’ve got a decent website, a healthy number of business reviews on Google, and some reasonable backlinks, it may only take a few months to gain some really good Local SEO results… providing your SEO competition is slim. 

However, if you’re running an online shop, chances are you are competing against many established websites, businesses and brands who have invested heavily in SEO. In this case, aggressive SEO work is going to be required and may take over 10 months. 

Yes, this is an option. Note though this is a paid service.

If you want one-to-one SEO training and tutoring, it is a minimum of 10 sessions. 1 hour per session. This covers some of the basics and some intermediate-level SEO learning. If you want to learn more, we can provide this as well.

This training and tutoring is for individuals and small groups (up to 3 people per group).

PS. If you want to attempt to DIY your SEO, start by reading this Local SEO ‘how to’ blog post we published in late 2025. Once you have read it, if you feel that doing SEO is something you want to do yourself, you’ll have enough information to make a start. For further information and to learn more, contact us.

Whatever you do though, please avoid getting a Google Penalty. If you don’t know what a Google penalty is, click here to read more. We strongly recommend working with us, even if you want to DIY your SEO. We can check your work as you go, to make sure you do not get a penalty. 

If you do SEO work incorrectly by using what is called ‘black hat SEO’, you can find your website getting a penalty from Google. There are also other ways to get a penalty from Google.

It is NOT a good idea to get a penalty from Google. It can be VERY hard to get a penalty removed. If the penalty is bad enough, Google can kick your website entirely out of its search index. Meaning, your website will NOT appear in Google anymore.

Recovering from a penalty like that can cost a LOT of money. [Search YouTube if you want to hear some related stories.]

The best thing to do: Ask us to do your SEO work, so a penalty is avoided. OR if you want to DIY your SEO, ask us to help you. Amongst things, we’ll check your work each step of the way, to make sure you don’t do anything that could trigger a penalty.

Any local business, regional business, metropolitan business, state-wide business, nation-wide business, eCommerce business, organisation, club, or other entity type that wants more sales.

Yes, we can do a free SEO review audit (analysis) of your website to identify areas for improvement. We also provide recommendations within our review report.

We also provide comprehensive SEO review audits, though these incur fees.

If you’d like a free SEO site audit for your business, company (or other entity type), contact us. There is no obligation.

Each of our SEO services start with an SEO audit, unless you don’t yet have a website, in which case, we can do SEO work from scratch, upon your request.
