SEO Wollongong. Rank higher on Google.

You can absolutely start with one. We usually recommend this order: fix your website first, then catch people already searching with SEO and Google Ads, then create new demand with Facebook and Instagram ads. We will tell you where your budget works hardest.

SEO (search engine optimisation) is the work of improving your website and online presence so you rank higher in Google search results. Higher SERP rankings bring more organic traffic, meaning visitors you do not pay for each time they click.

Most Wollongong customers search Google before they buy. SEO puts your business on the first page when they search for what you sell, in Google Maps and the main results. That means a steady flow of local enquiries without paying for every click.

You can handle the basics yourself: complete your Google Business Profile, ask for reviews and write helpful service pages. Technical SEO, keyword strategy and link building take more time and expertise, which is where a local SEO expert helps you get results faster.

Local SEO helps your business show up when people nearby search for what you do, especially in the Google Maps "map pack" at the top of results. It covers your Google Business Profile, local keywords, citations (your business listed on trusted directories) and reviews.

Yes. We help businesses rank across Shellharbour, Kiama, the Southern Highlands, Shoalhaven, the Sutherland Shire, Sydney and Australia-wide, using dedicated location pages and a keyword strategy for each area.

Usually not. We start with a free SEO audit of your current website. Most sites just need technical fixes, better page titles and new service and location pages. If your site is holding you back, we'll explain why before recommending a rebuild.

Yes, and it often works best. Google Ads brings enquiries straight away while SEO builds free organic traffic over time. Data from your ads also shows which keywords bring the best customers, which makes your SEO smarter.

Great, that's a strong starting point. We protect the rankings you have, find the keywords and suburbs you're missing, and turn more of your existing traffic into calls and enquiries.

Across Australia, SEO for small and medium businesses usually costs from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars a month. OCCO SEO plans start from $690 a month (Local), from $1,290 (Growth) and from $2,190 (Competitive), ex GST. You get an exact price after your free SEO audit.

No honest SEO agency can guarantee top rankings, because Google controls its results. What we do promise is a clear plan, transparent monthly reporting and steady work on the things that move rankings: your Google Business Profile, on-page SEO, content, link building and reviews.

We live and work in the Illawarra, so we know the suburbs, the local competition and what Wollongong customers search for. You can meet us face to face, and you work directly with the SEO consultant doing the work rather than an account manager.

OCCO is based in Wollongong NSW and works with businesses across the Illawarra, Shellharbour, Kiama and the South Coast. We meet clients face to face around the Illawarra or over video call, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and we also work with businesses in Sydney and Australia-wide.

Yes. Our free SEO audit checks your Google Business Profile, website speed, on-page SEO, keywords and competitors, then shows you the quickest wins. Book one through our Contact page.

Most local businesses see early movement in Google Maps and local search within six to twelve weeks. Stronger rankings for competitive keywords usually take three to six months. Results build over time, which is why SEO is one of the best long-term investments for a Wollongong business.

Most people in Wollongong, Shellharbour and Kiama search on their phones and choose from the top three businesses in Google Maps. Local SEO gets you into that map pack and the first results for searches like "builder Wollongong" or "café near me", which is where most local calls and bookings come from.

Yes. Google shows local businesses first for local searches, so a well-optimised Wollongong business can outrank much bigger Sydney companies in the Illawarra. We focus on your Google Business Profile, suburb pages, local links and reviews, which are the signals bigger out-of-town competitors usually lack.

Any business whose customers search on Google: tradies, health and NDIS providers, cafés and hospitality, retailers, law firms, accountants, real estate agents, online stores and B2B companies. If people search for what you do, SEO can bring you steady, free leads.

It starts with an SEO audit, keyword research and competitor analysis. Then we fix technical issues, optimise your pages and Google Business Profile, create helpful content and suburb pages, and build quality backlinks and local citations. Every month you get a clear report and a plan for what comes next.

They do different jobs. PPC (Google Ads) brings enquiries within days but stops when you stop paying. SEO takes a few months but keeps bringing free organic traffic. Many Illawarra businesses use Google Ads for fast leads while SEO builds, then rely more on SEO over time.

Google wants to send people to pages that load fast, work well on mobile and answer their question. A clear, fast, easy-to-use website keeps visitors on the page and turns more of them into enquiries, which supports your rankings and your results.

AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews recommend businesses they can clearly understand and trust. That means a well-structured website with direct answers, schema markup, consistent business details across the web, and genuine reviews. This is called answer engine optimisation (AEO), and it is part of our SEO & AI Search service.

Ask every happy customer at the right moment, usually straight after the job is done, and make it easy with a short review link sent by SMS or email. We can automate this for you so review requests go out every time without you having to remember.
