Ben Guthridge
Director
Ben Guthridge founded Search Rescue in 2016 after almost two decades of working at some of Australia’s biggest digital ad agencies. Having seen that the technical elements available to businesses weren’t all successfully being utilised, that marketing costs weren’t transparent and that sales were prioritised over results, Ben chose to start an honest and high-performance agency, whose ethos is to deliver high quality results, without sacrificing on trust or transparency.
An avid surfer and self-confessed numbers-nerd, Ben lives in Sydney’s East. He is passionate about sports, travelling and spending time at the beach with his family.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the work you have done in getting us more pronounced in Google. The increase in traffic that has been generated is more than I would have expected. Once again thank you very much for your help.
I have been working with Ben and his team at Search Rescue for 8 years now. They have worked across facebook, google adwords, google shopping and SEO across all of our websites. Year on year they have proved ROI, they are proactive in their approach and are always looking for ways to help grow my business. I have worked with many digital providers over the years and Ben and his team are by far the best in the business.
We started with Search Rescue from a zero base. Ben quickly identified our needs and opportunities and worked with us for great results through SEO and Google Ads. We saw an increase in traffic from week one and it continued. Great job and thanks Ben.
Our revenue has grown 45% on the back of Search Rescue’s SEO & Google Ads service. Our SEO keyword rankings have soared and we have gained 27 new clients from this digital marketing who are now ongoing accounts with Ergoworks.
