You might be wondering...
01. How long will it take to see SEO results?
SEO is a long-term investment, and the timeline for results varies depending on your industry, competition, and website condition. Most businesses start seeing improvements within three to six months, with sustained growth over time.
02. Why is local SEO important for Wollongong businesses?
Local SEO helps your business connect with customers in Wollongong and the Illawarra region. By optimising your Google Business Profile, local citations, and location-based content, we ensure you appear in relevant searches when potential customers are looking for businesses like yours.
03. How does user experience impact SEO?
Google prioritises websites that load quickly, are mobile-friendly, and provide seamless navigation. If your website is slow or difficult to use, it can lead to lower rankings and lost opportunities. We optimise every aspect of your site to improve user experience and search performance.
04. Is SEO or PPC better for growing my business?
SEO and pay-per-click (PPC) advertising serve different purposes. SEO builds sustainable, long-term traffic, while PPC (such as Google Ads) provides immediate visibility. Many businesses benefit from a combined approach, using carefully crafted SEO strategies for ongoing growth and PPC for quick wins.
05. Where is SIXGUN based?
SIXGUN operates from Richmond, Melbourne, but we work with businesses across Wollongong, Sydney, and beyond. Distance isn’t a barrier to exceptional results—we provide data-driven, results-focused SEO solutions no matter where you’re located.
