What is SEO?
SEO – or Search Engine Optimisation – is the practice of increasing the quantity and quality of traffic to your website from Google’s organic (unpaid) results. This includes Google Maps. We have simplified SEO into 8 pillars – get these right and the results will follow!
01
Content
When it comes to the actual wording or content of your site, it needs to be relevant to the keywords you’re trying to chase. While the words you’re trying to rank for need to be mentioned with sufficient frequency to create an impact, they cannot be used so frequently that Google sees them as spammy.
02
Backlinking
The quality of websites that link back to your own is crucial when it comes to impacting your SEO ranking. Furthermore, if your links are from low-quality sites, the toxicity score of your links will be high, which will have a detrimental effect on your ranking, and you may even incur a penalty where you will be removed from Google’s search results completely. You need a quality SEO agency like Search Rescue to provide quality, transparent backlinking.
03
Technical
The website architecture refers to components of a website such as page URL, meta title, meta description, alt tags, heading tags & more. The page title and meta description are particularly important because this is the headline and the first two lines of text as shown in the Google organic search results, and have a heavy impact on the click-through rate and resulting SEO clicks.
There has been a 100% increase in clicks for one of our clients over the 13-month period since August.

The Eight pillars of SEO
When it comes to social media marketing on Instagram and Facebook, the two most important elements are the audiences that are being targeted and the creative used to target said audiences. While there is an endless array of creatives that can be used, target audiences fall under one of two categories – cold or warm.
01 Content
SEO or search engine optimisation can be broken up into seven major pillars, all of which will impact your online the actual wording of the website, the website architecture, back-linking, social signals, site speed, GMB listing and the inclusion of a blog.
When it comes to the actual wording or content of your site, it needs to be relevant to the keywords you’re trying to chase. While the words you’re trying to rank for need to be mentioned with sufficient frequency create an impact, they cannot be used so frequently that Google sees it as spammy..
02 Architecture
The website architecture refers to components of a website such as page URL, meta title, meta description, alt tags, heading tags & more..
The page title and meta description are particularly important because this is the headline and the first two lines of of text as shown in the Google organic search results, and have a heavy impact on the click through rate and resulting SEO clicks.
03 Backlinking
Arguably the most difficult pillar of SEO marketing. A backlink for a given web resource is a link from another website to your website. Google likes your website to be linked from as many high-quality domains as possible. It is also essential to ensure that the number of backlinks you have is proportionate to the number of domains you are getting linked from. I.e. it is preferable to have 1000 links from 200 sites than having 10,000 links from just 50 sites.
The quality of websites that link back to your own is crucial when it comes to impacting your SEO ranking. Furthermore if your links are from low quality sites, thetoxicity score of your links will be high which will have a detrimental effect on your ranking, and you may even incur a penalty where you will be removed from Google’s search results completely. You need a quality SEO agency like Search Rescue to provide quality, transparent backlinking.
04 Social Signals
The fourth pillar is social signals. It’s essential to have your social buttons set up correctly on your website and to have consistent posts on your social media profiles because Google will then determine your business as being active.
If your social signals aren’t up to date and active, Google may see your business as dormant and your SEO strength will suffer as a result.
05 Blog
The fifth and final pillar is the inclusion regularly updated blog page on your site. If you have a blog page and are frequently contributing useful and informative content to your website, Google will look upon this favourably which will have a positive impact on your SEO. Furthermore if the blog topic is something frequently searched, your blog page will not only rank in Google but sometimes bring in considerable traffic.
06 Speed
Website speed is another important SEO ranking factor. Google wants its users to click through to sites which have a good website experience including a fast load time. Note that desktop and mobile load times are different so both renders need to be considered. We look at the factors that affect your load time. We action standard speed elements and for more complex script / file issues we will work with your website developer to prioritise these slow elements and resolve them. A complete SEO marketing agency like Search Rescue can help diagnose and resolve this important SEO pillar.
07 Google My Business (GMB)
If you have a location where you service your clients, you need to claim and complete all information of the GMB page. Furthermore, by getting positive reviews from happy clients, this will increase the rankings of this page.
08 AIO (Artificial Intelligence Optimisation)
ensure that your website has ‘topical authority’ about your industry, your products or services. Provide quality content that addresses the types of questions people are asking in large language models [LLMs] like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Anthropic etc. Ensure that content is easily accessible within the menu hierarchy and with schema mark up.
Optimisation work
How does Search Engine Optimisation work?
To under SEO, it is easier to break it up into bite sized chunks.
Most SEO agencies will agree that it can be broken into on-page, off-page and technical SEO.
On SEO PAGE
This consists of everything that your visitors would see while visiting your website. While content and UX remain king for all websites, a free SEO audit will identify if vital on page SEO factors were considered and implemented correctly. Some on page elements include:
- Useful content that visitors will benefit from.
- Relevant keywords.
- Having SEO keywords in the page title, description, heading tags, in the URL etc. An easy user experience will also benefit SEO results
- An easy user experience will also benefit SEO results
No matter how trivial these factors seem, getting them right is imperative. If you change 10 factors by 10% you get a 100% improvement in results.
Off-page SEO
Sourcing quality, contextual backlinks is the probably hardest part of digital marketing – there we have said it! Link building is essentially outreach to other websites and getting a link from their site to yours. A link back from a large, high quality site will send stronger SEO signals than from a tiny site with little traffic / authority. Furthermore if that website is contextual to yours it will be even more valuable. A high number of backlinks from a high number of quality contextual sites will make your site more authoritative in Google’s eyes and it will reward you up the rankings. Your free SEO audit will include a backlink breakdown in terms of number and quality of these links. In the audit we would inspect:
- Backlink volume
- Volume of domains sending the links
- Quality of these domains
Technical SEO
Quality of these domains
- Website speed
- Monitor and clearing errors from Google Search Console and other tools like SEMRush
- Crawability and indexability
- Schema
For a more detailed breakdown of SEO you can check the 7 pillars of SEO which expand on the above 3 elements.
Higher rankings for high volume, relevant terms, means more clicks, more leads and more sales.
eCommerce
SEO for eCommerce
The SEO strategy for e-commerce websites differs slightly from service based businesses.
Ecommerce websites have an emphasis on product pages. Below are the most important elements of SEO on each product page:
- Correct URL structure with the product name in the URL
- Detailed product title and description information including the brand name, the product type, the size (if applicable) and any other attribute that the user may be searching for
- Several images of the product
- Videos of the product in use
- Price
By having detailed information, you make it as compelling as possible for somebody to purchase your product. Furthermore you allow the big publishers like Google, Microsoft, Meta etc to read and serve your product on their sites.

I think it's just a really personal service. It doesn't feel like I'm just another customer and it's a bit of set and forget. I have constant engagement with Joe, my account manager. He's always alerting me to the fact if we have a slowdown in our data, then he's always contacted me. So I think it's just that personal touch and I feel loved.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SEO?
SEO, or search engine optimisation, is the practice of increasing the quantity and quality of traffic to your website from Google’s organic (unpaid) results, including Google Maps. It involves improving your content, site structure, technical health and authority so Google sees your site as the best answer for the searches your customers make.
What are the benefits of SEO for my business?
SEO delivers ongoing clicks from targeted searches without paying for each one. Strong rankings keep you on page one of Google, where most clicks happen. Organic clicks are often higher quality than paid clicks, because people tend to trust a site that has earned its position. Over time, SEO is usually the lowest-cost source of new leads.
What are the different types of SEO?
SEO is usually split into three types. On-page SEO covers what visitors see, such as content, headings and keywords. Off-page SEO covers signals from other websites, mainly backlinks and reviews. Technical SEO covers how search engines crawl and load your site, including speed, indexing, errors and schema. Local SEO and AI search optimisation build on all three.
What is on-page optimisation?
On-page optimisation is improving the elements of each page so it’s relevant to the searches you want to win. That includes useful content, target keywords used naturally, page titles, meta descriptions, heading tags, URLs, image alt text, internal links and a good user experience. Getting these basics right is often the quickest way to lift rankings.
What is off-page optimisation?
Off-page optimisation covers actions outside your website that build its authority, mainly earning quality backlinks from relevant, trusted sites. It also includes Google reviews, brand mentions and business directory listings. These signals tell Google other people vouch for your business, which helps you rank above competitors with similar content.
What is technical SEO?
Technical SEO makes sure search engines can find, crawl, load and understand your site. It covers site speed on desktop and mobile, fixing errors in Google Search Console, crawlability and indexability, sitemaps, redirects and schema markup. Technical issues can hold back even great content, so Search Rescue checks these in every SEO audit.
How do search engines determine rankings?
Google uses complex algorithms to rank pages. The main factors are relevance (how well your content matches the search), authority (the number and quality of links pointing to your site), user experience (speed, mobile usability and engagement) and location for local searches. The algorithm changes constantly, but these fundamentals stay the same.
How do keywords impact SEO?
Keywords are the words people type into Google. Ranking for relevant keywords with good search volume puts your business in front of people actively looking for what you offer. The more relevant keywords you rank for, the larger your search footprint and the more clicks and leads you receive. Choosing the right keywords is the foundation of every campaign.
Why do I need an SEO agency?
Google’s algorithm changes constantly, and ranking well means getting content, technical health, backlinks, local signals and now AI search right at the same time. An experienced agency knows which changes move rankings, has the tools to measure them and does the work consistently. That usually gets results faster and avoids costly mistakes like toxic backlinks.
How do I choose the right SEO company?
Look for a proven track record: ask for results, check reviews and speak with current clients. Make sure they use ethical, white-hat methods and avoid anyone promising instant rankings. Choose a team that explains its strategy in plain language and reports clearly. Be wary of very cheap packages, which often rely on low-quality links.
Why choose Search Rescue for SEO?
Search Rescue has ranked hundreds of businesses on page one of Google, from tradies and eCommerce stores to ASX-listed companies. It’s a small, senior team based in Sydney with no offshore support and no ticketing queues. You’ll know exactly who’s managing your campaign, and you’ll get detailed, transparent reporting on every piece of work.
Do you use white-hat SEO?
Yes. Search Rescue uses ethical, white-hat SEO that follows Google’s guidelines. Backlinks come from quality, relevant websites, not link farms or spammy networks, because low-quality links can raise your toxicity score and even get your site removed from Google. Every backlink built is listed in your reports.
Do you only work with Sydney businesses?
No. Search Rescue is based in Bondi Junction, Sydney, and delivers local and national SEO across Australia, including Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and the Central Coast, as well as clients in Singapore. Local SEO campaigns can target any suburb or city you serve.
What industries do you provide SEO for?
Search Rescue runs SEO for service businesses like plumbers, builders, flooring and landscaping companies, as well as eCommerce stores, medical and audiology clinics, vets, lawyers, childcare and education providers, automotive and IT businesses. Clients include Toyota, Subaru, Volcom, University of Canberra and Montessori Academy.
What are the 8 pillars of SEO?
Search Rescue simplifies SEO into 8 pillars: content, website architecture, backlinking, social signals, blogging, site speed, Google Business Profile and AI optimisation (AIO). Each pillar affects how Google and AI tools see your site. Get all eight right and the results follow.
What is included in Search Rescue's SEO service?
Services include an initial SEO audit, keyword research and selection, on-page content and copy improvements, meta titles and descriptions, quality backlinking, blogging, site speed improvements, Google Business Profile optimisation, schema markup, AI search optimisation, analytics and conversion setup, and detailed monthly reporting.
How does Search Rescue start an SEO campaign?
Every campaign starts with a detailed onboarding: gaining access to your website and accounts, choosing target keywords strategically, setting up goals in GA4 and Google Tag Manager, and running a full SEO audit. From that audit comes a prioritised action plan, so the work with the biggest impact on rankings and leads happens first.
What is link building and why is it important?
Link building is earning links from other websites to yours. Google treats each quality link as a vote of confidence, so links from high-authority, relevant sites lift your rankings. It’s like being friends with people in high places: you’re seen as important by association. Many links from a variety of quality domains beat lots of links from just a few sites.
Can bad backlinks hurt my rankings?
Yes. Links from low-quality or spammy sites raise your toxicity score, which can drag rankings down and, in serious cases, trigger a Google penalty that removes your site from results. Search Rescue reviews your backlink profile in every audit, builds only quality links and can help disavow harmful ones.
Does social media help SEO?
Indirectly. Social media activity isn’t a direct Google ranking factor, but it drives traffic, increases brand searches and helps content get noticed and linked to, all of which support rankings. An active social presence also shows customers and search engines that your business is current and engaged.
Does blogging help SEO?
Yes. Regularly publishing useful blog content lets you rank for more searches, especially questions your customers ask. Good posts attract links, build topical authority and give AI tools content to cite. They also create internal links to your service and product pages, which helps those pages rank too.
How important is website speed for SEO?
Very. Google wants searchers to land on fast, smooth websites, and speed is part of its Core Web Vitals measures. Desktop and mobile load times differ, so both need work. Search Rescue fixes standard speed issues and works with your developer on complex script or file problems that slow your site down.
Do you keep working on keywords that already rank well?
Search Rescue pivots campaigns as results come in. Once lower-competition keywords reach the top three, effort shifts to new keywords and additional pages, so your traffic keeps growing. Rankings already won are still monitored and protected, but the focus stays on winning more traffic, leads and sales.
What is local SEO?
Local SEO is ranking for location-based searches. For example, a plumber in Bondi wants to appear for “plumber Bondi”. It involves location-relevant content on your website plus a strong Google Business Profile, because Google shows a map pack of three businesses for local searches. Those three spots get a large share of the clicks and calls.
How do I rank in the Google Maps pack?
Claim and fully complete your Google Business Profile with accurate details, categories, services, photos and opening hours. Keep your business name, address and phone number consistent everywhere online. Earn a steady flow of positive Google reviews and respond to them. Location-relevant content and local backlinks on your website strengthen your Maps ranking too.
Do Google reviews help SEO?
Yes. Reviews are one of the strongest signals for local and Google Maps rankings. A steady stream of genuine, positive reviews, along with your replies, shows Google your business is active and trusted. Reviews also lift click-through rates, because searchers favour businesses with strong ratings.
How is SEO different for eCommerce websites?
eCommerce SEO focuses heavily on product and category pages. Each product page should have a clean URL with the product name, a detailed title and description including brand, type and size, several images, video where possible, price, specifications, variants, reviews, FAQs, shipping details and related products. Detailed pages rank better and also feed Google Shopping and other platforms.
Do you do SEO for Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento?
Yes. Search Rescue is a Shopify Partner and runs SEO for stores on Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento. Each platform has its own technical quirks, such as duplicate URLs, collection pages and speed limits, which the team handles alongside product page optimisation. For more detail, read the guide to SEO for product pages.
What is AI optimisation (AIO)?
AI optimisation, also called AEO or GEO, is making your business visible in AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews. It means building topical authority, answering the questions people ask AI tools, making key content easy to find in your site’s menu, and using schema markup so AI can understand and cite your pages.
Is SEO still worth it with AI search?
Yes. AI tools rely heavily on well-ranked, well-structured websites to form their answers, so strong SEO is the foundation of AI visibility. What’s changed is that content now needs to answer specific questions clearly and show expertise. Search Rescue’s SEO includes AI optimisation so you’re visible in both Google results and AI answers. Learn more about AI optimisation.
How long does SEO take to work?
It depends on the quality of the work and how competitive your keywords are. With quality work on low to medium competition keywords, rankings often improve within 1 to 3 months. Highly competitive terms usually take 4 to 6 months or more to reach page one. SEO builds over time, so results tend to keep growing the longer a campaign runs.
Can you guarantee first-page rankings?
No honest agency can guarantee a specific ranking, because Google controls its algorithm and changes it constantly. Be cautious of anyone who does. What Search Rescue can show is a track record of ranking hundreds of businesses on page one, a clear plan for your keywords and transparent reporting on progress every month.
What results can I expect from SEO?
You can expect more keywords ranking on page one, more organic traffic and more leads or sales over time. For example, Volleyball Shop gained 5 high-traffic keywords in the top three and 9 more on page one within 3 months. Ergoworks Consulting grew revenue by 45% on the back of SEO and Google Ads.
Is SEO a waste of money?
Not when it’s done properly. Most agencies charge a fixed monthly fee, while the traffic SEO can deliver keeps growing and doesn’t cost per click. That’s why SEO is often the cheapest source of new leads compared with other channels. It becomes a waste only when the work is poor quality, such as spammy links or untargeted keywords.
Should I choose SEO or Google Ads?
It depends mainly on urgency. Google Ads delivers leads within days, while SEO takes months to build but then delivers ongoing clicks without a cost per click. Many businesses run both: ads for immediate leads while SEO grows. Read more in SEO vs Google Ads.
What happens to my rankings if I stop SEO?
Rankings don’t vanish overnight, but they usually slip over time as competitors keep improving and Google’s algorithm changes. Content gets older, links age and new issues appear. Ongoing SEO protects the rankings you’ve built and keeps growing your traffic.
How much does SEO cost?
SEO is usually charged as a fixed monthly fee. The right investment depends on how competitive your keywords are, how many pages and locations you want to rank and the state of your website today. Request a free audit or call 1300 107 110 for a recommendation and quote based on your goals.
Why are some SEO packages so cheap?
Very cheap SEO usually relies on automated or low-quality backlinks, thin content and little real strategy. That can harm your rankings and even trigger a Google penalty. Quality SEO takes skilled people, good tools and genuine outreach, so focus on value and transparency rather than the lowest price.
Do you have lock-in contracts?
No. Search Rescue doesn’t lock clients into long-term contracts and aims to earn your business every month through results and transparent reporting. Because SEO compounds over time, most clients choose to stay long term.
What reporting will I receive?
You’ll receive detailed, transparent reports showing keyword rankings, organic traffic, leads, the work completed, the backlinks built and the next areas for growth. Search Rescue also holds weekly and monthly performance reviews, and some clients receive video walkthroughs that explain results in plain English.
Do I own the work and content you create?
Yes. Content, on-page changes and improvements made to your website belong to your business, and they stay in place if you ever move on.
What's included in a free SEO audit?
Search Rescue’s free audit reviews your on-page SEO, technical health and backlink profile. That includes backlink volume, the number of linking domains and their quality. You’ll see what’s holding your rankings back, which keywords offer the best opportunity and what to fix first. It’s honest advice with no sales pitch.
How do I get started with Search Rescue?
Call 1300 107 110 or request a free SEO audit through the contact page. After the audit, the team agrees your target keywords and goals, completes onboarding, and starts on a prioritised action plan focused on the work that will lift rankings and leads fastest.
Can you work with my web developer?
Yes. Search Rescue handles standard SEO and speed changes directly and works with your developer on complex technical issues, such as heavy scripts, large files or platform limits. Clear priorities make it easy for your developer to know what to fix first.
Do you offer other digital marketing services?
Yes. Alongside SEO, Search Rescue offers Google Ads, Meta Ads, AI search optimisation, eCommerce marketing and white-label services for agencies. Running SEO with paid ads lets you use ad data to choose SEO keywords and cover both organic and paid results.
