The 10 Best SEO Agencies in Melbourne

Owners who want to know the entry price before calling will find it published here, with SEO starting at a stated monthly minimum and a discount when Google Ads management is added. Founded by Zac Basara, the Abbotsford agency works without lock-in contracts. It handles small business and enterprise SEO alike. Other agencies can also resell its SEO and PPC services under their own brand.

Small and medium businesses that rely on local customers are Supple's core market, with services built around local SEO and Google Business Profile optimisation. Launched in 2012, it now works from Richmond and from Macquarie Park in Sydney. Its SEO menu runs from technical and JavaScript SEO to franchise and programmatic SEO. Industry programs for lawyers, dentists, plumbers and solar installers suit trades and practices.

Online stores and brands that need links from real publishers suit SIXGUN, an agency that began in search engine optimisation and still treats it as its core. It earns backlinks through outreach, long-standing publisher relationships and content that editors want to run. Ecommerce SEO is a dedicated service. The team also works on getting brands named accurately in answers from ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.

Businesses planning a website rebuild should talk to Calibre9 early, since SEO migrations that protect existing rankings are one of its core services. The Collingwood agency works only on SEO and draws on more than 15 years of experience. Other services include link building, local SEO, Google Shopping optimisation and detailed audits. Its narrow focus suits companies that already have ads and web design covered.

Online retailers are the only clients Megantic takes on, and its work centres on technical organic search for ecommerce sites. The St Kilda Road agency has worked with Australian retailers for more than 12 years. It now also covers answer engine optimisation, so products surface in tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini. A partnership with Deakin University supports small and medium Victorian businesses growing online.

Larger and more complex websites suit StudioHawk, a specialist SEO and AI search agency working across Shopify, WordPress, HubSpot and headless platforms. Its founder, Harry, started the business in Melbourne in 2015 as a one-person operation. Clients work directly with its SEO specialists rather than through middlemen. A free SEO and AI search training platform helps in-house teams learn alongside the agency.

Growth-minded small businesses that dislike contracts suit Top Rankings, a dedicated SEO company that has worked only on search marketing since 2007. Every client is on a no-contract arrangement, so the agency has to keep earning the work. Its service combines technical SEO, content, link building and digital PR with conversion rate optimisation. The Collins Street team serves businesses anywhere in Australia, not only in Melbourne.

Businesses worried about an agency also working for a rival will appreciate this Cremorne firm's rule of one client per industry. SEO Melbourne has operated since 2006 and covers local SEO, Google Business Profile, technical SEO, content and optimisation for AI answers. Packages start from a published monthly price on a month-to-month basis. A free 30-minute strategy meeting leads to a scoped proposal.

Brands switching from another agency may like First Page's offer, which says clients do not pay if it fails to beat their current results. The Cremorne office belongs to a national agency with teams in Sydney and other major cities. Its SEO work spans local, international, ecommerce and enterprise sites. Google Ads, paid social, CRO and email sit under the same roof, so channels can be planned together.

Mid-market manufacturers, distributors and professional services firms are the clients A.P. Web Solutions is built around. Founded in 2015, the West Melbourne agency gives each client three to five dedicated team members and a six- to twelve-month roadmap. Clients deal with experienced strategists rather than junior staff, and the founder stays involved in strategy. SEO sits alongside paid media, web design and automation.
