What we do with SEO
In the words of our customers
Don’t just take our word for it. See why we’re the go-to SEO agency for Australian businesses.
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.
