You might be wondering...
01. How long does SEO take to deliver results?
SEO isn’t an overnight solution—it’s a long-term strategy. While some improvements happen quickly, sustainable growth takes time. Factors such as competition, website history, and industry trends all play a role. Most businesses start seeing measurable results within three to six months.
02. How is local SEO different from standard SEO?
Local SEO is designed to help businesses appear in location-based searches. It involves optimising Google Business Profiles, building local citations, and creating geo-targeted content to ensure your business ranks for searches in Geelong and surrounding areas.
03. Does page speed really affect my search rankings?
Yes! Google considers site speed as a ranking factor. A slow-loading website leads to higher bounce rates and lower engagement. Our team improves site speed, mobile performance, and technical SEO elements to enhance both user experience and search rankings.
04. Why is SEO better than paid advertising?
Paid ads provide instant visibility, but once you stop paying, the traffic disappears. Search engine optimisation in Geelong builds long-term authority, driving consistent organic traffic without ongoing ad spend. The best digital strategy often involves a mix of both.
05. What’s the most common SEO mistake businesses make?
One of the biggest mistakes is treating SEO as a one-time fix. Search engine algorithms, competitor strategies, and user behaviour are constantly evolving. A successful SEO strategy requires ongoing adjustments, content updates, and technical improvements to maintain visibility.
06. Where is SIXGUN based?
Our headquarters is in Richmond, Melbourne, but our expertise isn’t limited by location. We help businesses across Geelong, throughout Melbourne, and beyond achieve outstanding SEO results.
