VS
Other SEO agencies
Be wary of agencies that...
- Spend the first month on audits and research with no live work until month two or three
- Get easy to obtain lower authority links or pay to obtain links
- Don't use dedicated link builders and instead rely on non-specialised SEOs
- Pushes quantity over quality, which doesn't match the new standards set by the latest google algorithmic updates
- Have senior SEOs at the early pitch and then hand the account off to a junior after the sale
- They deliver work, but don't offer any insight or strategic input
- Only do the allocated work each month, with no opportunities for value adds

Check out our reviews on Google Business Reviews, Trustpilot, and Clutch.
I've worked with Earned media for several years and these guys are the real deal. They're able to get links for websites in a huge range of niches and all white hat.
We were struggling with content indexing and low CTRs in Google Search. This wasn’t our first attempt at solving the problem, we’d already worked with two other agencies, but their responses were generic and unhelpful.
Earned Media was different. We got an SEO audit from them that was incredibly thorough. They provided a full site audit, complete with a Loom video that walked us through the details and explained the reasoning behind each recommendation. Their action plan was clear and easy to follow.
The pricing was very reasonable, especially since we only needed a few things fixed. They were fast and accommodating throughout. We implemented the fixes ourselves over a three-month period using their audit document, and we’re already seeing great improvements. Our six-month-old blog posts that wouldn’t index are now finally showing up in search results.
Thank you so much to Nick and the team at Earned Media! You really helped us get unstuck!
They've helped us get mentioned on Cointelegraph and Forbes, and helped us get many more mentions elsewhere.
With their steady help we've managed to secure first page on Google for our white labeled software.

Your SEO Agency Questions Answered
Earned Media represents visibility that’s earned, not bought. It’s the credibility a brand gains when others talk about it — through search rankings, PR coverage, social shares, and trusted recommendations. Unlike paid advertising, earned media can’t be purchased; it must be achieved through authority, relevance, and genuine value.
At Earned Media, this philosophy is our foundation. We help ambitious brands earn attention by blending human creativity with AI-driven intelligence — transforming SEO, content, and PR into measurable systems of growth. Our work ensures brands are discoverable across both traditional search and emerging AI channels, where trust and expertise now determine visibility.
We believe the future of marketing belongs to those who earn their place — by creating content that informs, data that proves, and experiences that resonate. Through strategies like Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), the AI Channel Impact Audit, and our Gold+ Content framework, we help brands rise above the noise and build enduring digital authority.
In short, Earned Media means helping brands become the most trusted answer — in Google, in AI engines, and in the minds of their audience.
For smaller businesses (local service providers, fewer pages, moderate competition) the monthly investment for SEO + basic digital-marketing support often starts around AUD $1,200-$2,500/month.
For medium-sized businesses (multi-location, more content/pages, higher competition) you might expect AUD $2,500-$7,500/month or more for an ongoing campaign.
For large or enterprise-level brands (national or international scope, many keywords, complex website/e-Commerce) the investment can easily hit AUD $7,500+ per month, and in some cases much higher.
One-off project fees (site redesign/SEO Setup) can span from AUD $3,000-$10,000+ depending on scope.
Choosing the right digital marketing agency starts with clarity — define your goals, budget, and key performance metrics. Look for agencies with proven results in your industry, transparent reporting, and a clear strategy that aligns with your business objectives. Evaluate their expertise across SEO, content, paid media, and analytics, and ensure they prioritise measurable outcomes over vanity metrics. Ask for case studies, client references, and a detailed scope of work.
Most importantly, choose a partner that values collaboration, communicates openly, and focuses on long-term growth — not quick wins — to build sustainable online visibility and brand authority.
