Lucky Attitude · SEO audit and fixes
“Absolutely a gem find for anything SEO related! Eli provided the most thorough SEO Audit I’ve ever seen (I used to work in SEO marketing and I’ve seen a lot of subpar work). He also gave some clear recommendations and priority order. My site went from 7 visits (on Ahrefs) to 550 after he cleaned up a few technical issues. Additionally, he advised on strategic direction for my business. I’m immensely grateful. Can’t wait to work with him again.”

Ask a question →
How much does SEO cost in Australia?

[Your pricing, answer first. For example: Our retainers start at $X a month, depending on how much content and link building you need. We scope every project on a free first call, so you know the cost before anything starts.]

How long does SEO take to work?

Usually a few months before traffic moves, and longer for competitive searches. How fast depends on your site’s starting point and how much we publish. Castle Collector passed 50,000 monthly visits seven months after launch.

Do you lock clients into long contracts?

[Your terms, answer first. For example: No. We work month to month after an initial [X]-month period, because SEO needs time to show results.]

Do you work with businesses outside Australia?

Yes. We’re based in Australia and have worked with companies across Europe and the US, including WeAreDevelopers, Relocate.me and Castle Collector.

How is AI search changing SEO?

People now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI for recommendations, and those tools quote pages that already rank well and answer clearly. So strong SEO is still the foundation. We add the work that gets your brand named and cited in those answers.
