Frequently Asked Questions
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the process of improving the ranking of your business in Google’s organic results, increasing the number of visitors that you have on your website. When done well, SEO improves your bottom line by providing you with an always-on online presence that brings in ready-to-buy customers who are searching for your products and services.
At Bonfire, we pride ourselves on our data-driven SEO methodology, which we believe sets the benchmark for SEO companies in Melbourne and Australia wide.
There are a number of SEO agencies out there who don’t play fair. These agencies often use illicit techniques in an attempt to manipulate search engines. These techniques, and the SEO agencies that use them, should be avoided at all costs as they can cause long term damage to your online presence. This damage can take months to recover from and the lost revenue during this time can be worth thousands, hence why it’s important to pick the right SEO agency from the start.
To avoid getting locked into a contract with one of ‘these’ SEO agencies, Google has provided a guideline to follow when selecting an SEO company. These are the steps Google recommends brands take when choosing their SEO provider:
- Conduct a two-way interview – take the opportunity to ‘interview’ the SEO agency when you meet with them. Ask relevant questions to ensure they’re sincerely interested in you and the success of your business.
- Check their references – Any SEO company can talk a good game, but reviews and results speak louder than words. Ask the agency for a list of clients who you can talk to about their experience with the agency. If they can’t offer this, you should be cautious.
- Request an audit – a good agency does their homework. Ask them to complete an audit on your current site. Ask them to identify any potential website issues and how they suggest you improve on them, as well as what impact these changes are expected to have on your digital campaign.
- Check with your team –before deciding on an SEO agency, make sure that all of your internal stakeholders are on board. Sit down and discuss with the other decision makers within your business whether they think this agency is a good choice.
In addition to the hiring process recommendations, here are a few useful insights on SEO basics as well as common misconceptions.
- “SEO is not black magic” – SEO isn’t magic and it won’t work overnight. If an agency is promising instant rankings, run, as they’re likely to be engaging in bad SEO practices – which could cause irreversible long term damage to your domain and could greatly affect your digital standing with Google.
- SEO suggestions should align with google best practices – with any strategy recommendations provided ask the SEO to corroborate them with supporting documents from Google such as an article from Google’s help centre, or Google’s response in their forum or video.
- Good SEO aims to improve the searchers’ entire experience – any recommended changes shouldn’t impede on the overall user experience of your site. Good SEO aims to not only create a search friendly site, but also a user-friendly site.
- Quality SEOs will be genuinely invested in your business – they will be interested in learning about your business from a holistic stand point and will genuinely care about your business goals, customers and other existing marketing efforts. If an SEO agency doesn’t care about these things, you can’t rely on them to grow your business.
- Good SEO takes time – There are a lot of components in a good SEO strategy, and unfortunately there are no magic tricks that will make them work faster. Allow 4 months to a year to start seeing real search results from strategy implementation.
- An SEO’s potential is only as high as the quality of your business or website – you can’t build a home without a solid foundation. The same goes for SEO. Investing in a user-friendly website will significantly help your SEO strategy.
Typically, SEO prices reflect both the level of expertise of the agency and the amount of time that they will spend on your campaign.
While we recognise that cost is obviously important, the end goal of SEO is to generate a positive return for your business – so it’s important to select an SEO company that has the experience and a strong track record of generating results.
The problem with focusing on price to make your decision, is that you often end up with SEO agencies that outsource a large amount of their work or operate at a loss to establish themselves and win new business.
We’ve seen countless examples of ‘cheap’ SEO campaigns. The long-term cost of them on your business can be huge. Recovering from a penalty or fixing past mistakes can often take months of work and the lost revenue during this time can be worth thousands to a business owner. That’s why we emphasise picking the right agency from the start.
Our SEO packages vary depending on the size of your campaign. At Bonfire, our primary focus is on your return on investment. Regardless of the campaign size. Our SEO experts have over 20 years of experience. They have thousands of campaigns under their belt and have generated a real-world impact on the bottom line of businesses across a wide range of industries. We encourage you to read reviews, do your research and make an informed decision before proceeding with any Melbourne SEO company.
SEO isn’t magic and it won’t work overnight. SEO is a mid-to-long term strategy that is designed to assist in generating higher Google search rankings. Rather than immediacy of results the key to SEO is consistency and quality. This calculated approach helps your business get ahead of your competitors in Google search results.
Whilst in some unique cases immediate rankings are possible, most clients can expect positive movement in rankings for select keywords after the 4th month. From there, after month 4 to 12, the results across all selected keywords in your campaign start taking shape.
Through using a calculated, long term approach, Bonfire’s team of SEO Specialists have a track record of consistently delivering on campaigns and driving a positive ROI on search results over the mid-to-long term.
