When considering SEO services in Australia, understanding the cost and what you’re paying for can be confusing. Many SEO providers aren’t transparent, and a lot of work is often outsourced offshore, leading to risks like black hat techniques that could get you banned from Google. At Revised, we take a different approach, offering AI-powered insights, data-driven strategies, and exclusive partnerships to ensure results that are tailored to your business, market, and audience.
The Hidden Side of SEO Pricing
SEO pricing is often shrouded in mystery, and many agencies don't lay out exactly what you're getting for your investment. This lack of transparency can make it hard to compare services, understand the actual value, and avoid potentially harmful practices.
Many providers outsource SEO work to offshore teams. While this can be cheaper, it comes with significant risks:
- Black Hat Techniques: Some agencies engage in risky strategies like link farming, keyword stuffing, and other "black hat" tactics to artificially boost your rankings. The problem? Once detected by Google, these tactics can lead to penalties or even a complete ban, erasing your online presence.
- Lack of Local Market Understanding: Some teams may not fully grasp the Australian market, audience behavior, or local SEO nuances. This means you could be missing out on valuable local opportunities to reach your audience effectively.
- Lack of Ongoing Strategy: Some SEO providers may only offer one-time optimisation without any long-term planning or continuous updates, leaving your site vulnerable to falling behind algorithm changes and competitors.
- Generic Tactics and Cookie-Cutter Strategies: Many providers use a "one-size-fits-all" approach rather than tailoring strategies to your business, missing out on unique opportunities and failing to align with your market needs.
- Usual Techniques: Most agencies all apply the same techniques from the industry - making it difficult to distinguish their work from your competitors.
Revised is different. Our AI platform provides better insights and data-driven strategies, paired with a local Australian team to offer you the best results and personalised support. We’ve developed proprietary and safe techniques that only we can provide, ensuring unique solutions tailored for your business.
Offshore Agencies ($500 - $2K a month)
You’ll often find offshore SEO agencies on platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, or through unsolicited emails. They offer "affordable" solutions, but here’s the catch:
- High Risk of Google Penalties: These agencies often buy backlinks from unreputable sources or engage in spammy SEO tactics. Not only do these actions fail to deliver sustainable results, but they could get your site penalised or banned from Google search.
- No Local Market Expertise: Without understanding Australian market behavior and trends, offshore agencies often use generic, off-the-shelf techniques that don’t cater to your target audience.
- Lack of Support: Time zone differences and limited communication make it hard to receive timely updates or customer support.
With Revised, you’re protected from these pitfalls. We offer transparency, proven strategies, and a dedicated team familiar with the Australian market.
Website Developers ($2K - $5K a month)
Many website development agencies offer SEO as an add-on service, but the scope is often limited. This usually covers:
- Basic SEO: Setting up meta tags, ensuring mobile responsiveness, and following Google’s basic guidelines—all necessary steps, but only scratching the surface of a comprehensive SEO strategy.
- Not a Holistic Strategy: Most developers aren’t equipped with the data or resources to build a brand in the digital space effectively. The focus is primarily on ensuring your website meets baseline technical standards, not on growing traffic or boosting conversions.
At Revised, we’ve built our platform and strategy from the ground up, designed specifically to grow your brand. With over a year of development and a unique database of search data, domains, and keywords, our approach is miles ahead of standard developer SEO packages. We offer a comprehensive strategy to optimise not just your site, but your brand's entire online presence.
SEO Agencies ($5K - $15K+ per month)
When you work with a traditional SEO agency, you’re paying for their experience, in-depth strategies, and comprehensive services. However, these agencies often have a set framework they follow, which may not adapt well to your unique business needs.
Some drawbacks to consider:
- Expensive Overheads: SEO agencies charge higher fees due to manual work, multiple personnel, and overheads, leading to a high cost without necessarily better results.
- Non-Exclusive Contracts: Most agencies work with multiple clients in the same industry. That means they might be simultaneously helping your direct competitors rank higher too.
- Limited Focus on Innovation: Agencies often use tried-and-tested strategies, but this can make them slow to adapt to changes in algorithms or market behavior.
In contrast, Revised uses a combination of AI for smarter, data-driven decisions and an Australian team to handle the personal touch. We provide exclusivity—when we work with you, we don’t work with your competitors. That way, you get 100% of our focus and resources to help you dominate your market.
