SEO Services for Australian Businesses

We run SEO for Australian businesses from Bengaluru, at roughly 40-60% below typical local agency retainers, with enough timezone overlap to make real-time collaboration practical.

Why an Australian business would work with an SEO team in India

Australia has a smaller pool of specialist agencies than the US or UK, which tends to push local SEO retainers higher relative to the work involved - typically A$2,000 to A$8,000 a month. We offer the same senior-level execution at 40-60% below that range, and unlike a lot of offshore arrangements, the timezone gap between India and Australia is small enough that live collaboration is genuinely workable, not something we have to apologise for.

Key takeaways

  • Senior SEO from India typically costs 40-60% less than equivalent Australian agency retainers.
  • We cover SEO, local SEO, Google Business Profile optimization, Google Ads, Meta Ads, ASO, GEO/AI search visibility, and web development.
  • IST is 4.5-5.5 hours behind AEST, so our afternoon covers your evening and our morning covers your afternoon.
  • We've run multi-location and international SEO for real clients across pharmacy, manufacturing, and professional services - directly relevant playbooks for Australian businesses.

What we actually do

SEO for an Australian business usually needs to solve for a market that's geographically concentrated in a handful of major cities but still spread across huge distances - Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide each behave like distinct local markets. That makes local SEO and Google Business Profile management central to most engagements we run here, alongside the core technical SEO, content strategy, and on-page work that any serious programme needs. We're also building out GEO work as AI assistants take more search traffic, so your brand shows up in AI-generated answers, not just traditional search results.

Where it makes sense, we run Google Ads and Meta Ads alongside organic SEO so paid and organic aren't fighting for the same keywords with two different strategies. And when a business needs a new site or a rebuild, we handle web development with SEO built into the structure from the start - migrations are where we most often see Australian businesses lose rankings unnecessarily, usually from redirect mapping nobody checked before launch.

Work we've actually done

We stick to naming clients we've genuinely worked with, described by scope rather than invented outcomes. We ran a full-funnel engagement for Medkart, a 100+ store generic pharmacy chain, covering website SEO, app ASO, local SEO, Google Ads and Meta Ads as one coordinated programme - the kind of multi-channel setup a growing Australian retail or healthcare chain often needs. For Katlax, an industrial connectors and automation manufacturer, we managed international SEO across 36+ countries, which is directly relevant if you're an Australian manufacturer or B2B business selling into export markets. We also delivered website and local SEO for a law firm operating across four Indian metros, which mirrors the multi-location challenge professional services firms face across Australian cities.

Field note. A mistake we regularly see Australian businesses make is treating SEO as a Sydney-and-Melbourne-only problem and neglecting Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide as an afterthought. Each city needs its own local signals - separate Google Business Profile optimization, city-specific landing pages, and local citations - not one generic national page trying to rank everywhere at once. Our multi-location SEO playbook covers how we structure that.

Working across the time difference

IST sits 4.5 to 5.5 hours behind AEST depending on daylight saving in Australia, which means the workday doesn't line up perfectly but overlaps enough to be genuinely useful. Our afternoon in India lands in your evening, and our morning covers a good chunk of your afternoon, so there's a reliable window each day for calls and quick back-and-forth rather than waiting a full 24 hours for a response. Reports, content drafts and technical fixes move forward overnight on our end too, so work is usually progressing even outside the overlap window. We cover how this compares to other offshore setups in our guide to outsourcing SEO to India.

What it costs, roughly

We don't quote a fixed number publicly because pricing depends on site size, competitiveness and the mix of services involved. What we can say is that our pricing consistently runs 40-60% below typical Australian agency retainers for comparable scope, which we break down further in our guide to SEO pricing in Australia in 2026. If your business is in professional services specifically, our piece on SEO for professional services in Australia goes into sector-specific detail.

Getting started

Every new Australian engagement starts with an audit so you know exactly what's working and what isn't before we propose anything - not a generic 90-day plan template. If that's how you'd rather work, email hello@tikbo.in or head to our contact page and tell us what you're working with.
