What Our Clients Say About Our SEO Agency
Top Results Means More Sales and Leads!
At Digital Surfer, we specialise in search engine optimisation, known as SEO. This means we make it our business to have yours showing up the top of Google search results that bring in qualified leads.
Google and other search engines are being used every day by people all over the world. Imagine what you could achieve in your business if you knew exactly how many people in your area are searching for your product or service each month.
Better yet, imagine what it would do if you were the top choice after these people made the search.
By partnering with us, you can be.
On average, between 50-80% of traffic to a local business website will come through search engine listings. We’re an Australian SEO company that understands how search engines work and how to get your business showing right up the top for search terms that bring in your ideal clients.

In the last six or so months Digital Surfer have been working tirelessly to improve my website’s performance. They have made numerous recommendations for content improvement, visual changes and marketing recommendations. The website now, as opposed to six months ago, is a far superior product. It keeps clients engaged (as is shown by the monthly reports they give me showing an increased user time on the website) and has the content and legal advice in easily locatable areas. My client feedback on the website has all been positive. We are now featuring on page one (and often in the first few positions) for many critical keywords for my business. This is no easy task in an incredibly competitive market.
I have also enjoyed that Peter, Renee and Despina have all spent a lot of time educating me (as I am not great with technology). This patience has allowed me to learn and appreciate what they are doing to help my business.
These days most new client enquiries I am receiving come from Google and/or my website. This success is all thanks to the Digital Surfer team. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you guys.

Maximum Client Capacity Reached
Industry: Hair Loss
Location: Brisbane
A small Brisbane hair loss clinic went from being invisible to ranking on the first page of Google for 80% of the keywords the campaign targeted.
Competing against the likes of Ashley and Martin, among other big players, our client not only ranked well, they also reached their maximum client capacity each month. We have successfully continued the SEO campaign and maintained their rankings and full work diary.

It’s about more than just rankings
Being ranked at the top is very important for this marketing strategy to work. However, it’s not the only thing to consider.
The strategy behind which words to target and how to best target them is a big component. Ranking #1 for easy keywords is all well and good but if no-one is really searching for those terms then you’re not really going to succeed in growing your business.
Likewise, if you only target the highly competitive keywords with a new website, you’ll be well and truly behind your competitors and your campaign will take much longer to work than you would probably like.
Our team are experts at balancing the two so you can see your business grow, for real.
By partnering with a SEO company Gold Coast, you’ll be able to taste the success that comes with top rankings for related searches within months.
