Independent SEO consultancy · Perth & Western Australia
Perth SEO.
Experience over excuses.
Your website should bring in business. I’m Dave Hobbs. I’ve spent nearly 30 years figuring out why websites get found, why they don’t, and what to do about it.
You deal with me. You know the priorities. You can see what your monthly investment pays for.
Recurring invoice. Recurring disappointment?
STOP THE
MONTHLY BLEEDING.
START SEEING
RANKINGS.
SEO without the mood swings, mystery invoices or bloody excuses.
Paying every month and still wondering what actually happened? Fair question.
You should know which pages were improved, which problems were fixed and how the work connects to enquiries. A colourful report is welcome. An explanation is essential.
Let’s look at what you’re paying for ↗A proper review first. A realistic scope next. Search outcomes are never guaranteed.Nearly
30
years in SEO
Dave Hobbs · Founder
Nearly 30 years.
Still hands-on.
I’ve been doing SEO long enough to know that another pile of pages isn’t always the answer.
Sometimes the website has a technical fault. Sometimes the important service is buried. Sometimes you’re attracting the wrong customers. The job is to identify the constraint, agree the work and get it done.
I work directly with business owners and in-house teams. Your plan starts with the services you want to sell, the areas you can serve and the budget that gives those priorities a fair shot.
