The Brisbane SEO agency that ranks its own businesses.
Every SEO agency in Brisbane says they get results. Here's our evidence: the LINK group's own divisions rank across Brisbane's most competitive service markets, and our clients go from invisible to booked out on the same playbook. Strategy first, a website built to convert, then rankings that turn into jobs.

Won suburb by suburb, niche by niche.
Brisbane search is a local game with national players in it. Franchises and aggregators own the broadest terms ('plumber Brisbane', 'lawyer Brisbane') through sheer domain weight, which convinces most small businesses they can't compete. They're wrong about where the game is played.
The searches that book work are more specific: a service plus a suburb, a problem plus a timeframe, end-of-lease pest control, floor sanding cost Camp Hill, emergency electrician northside. These have real volume, buyers with intent, and competitors who stopped trying years ago. Our whole method is finding the terms you can win, taking them completely, and expanding from strength: it's how PestGone went from 1-2 enquiries a month to 25-30 without ever outspending a franchise.
The other half of Brisbane's game is the map pack. For service businesses, Google Business Profile ranking, review velocity and consistent local signals produce the phone calls, which is why our products treat GBP and reviews as first-class citizens, not afterthoughts.
And we're from here. LINK has operated from Fortitude Valley since 2012; the founders you'll deal with are the people who built the group's own Brisbane rankings. When your strategy session happens in person over a coffee on Berwick Street, that's the local knowledge you're buying.
Brisbane industries we win in.
Search behaviour changes by industry. The framework doesn't. What that looks like in practice:
Trades & home services
Plumbers, electricians, pest control, flooring, builders. Brisbane trade searches are suburb-level and urgent: the searcher has a problem today and calls whoever owns the map pack and page one. We won this game for PestGone (1-2 to 25-30 leads a month) and LKV Flooring (booked two months ahead) by taking niche service terms first, then expanding suburb by suburb.
SEO for trades →Professional services
Lawyers, accountants, financial advisers, consultants. High client values make even a handful of monthly enquiries transformative, and E-E-A-T signals (author credentials, real expertise on the page) decide who ranks. Legali Law's 2746% conversion lift came from positioning and pages that matched exactly what Gold Coast legal searchers type.
Healthcare & allied health
Dentists, physios, specialists, clinics. Patients research symptoms and services before they book, and Google holds health sites to its highest content standards. We build compliant condition and treatment pages patients find useful that earn both rankings and trust, feeding the booking system you already run.
Ecommerce & retail
Category and product-page SEO is its own discipline: search intent mapping across thousands of SKUs, technical structure, and content that ranks without cannibalising. Bella Blowdry Bar's 580% organic growth in two months shows how fast retail moves when structure and intent line up.
B2B & niche industries
When your buyer is another business, volume is low but every search is worth serious money. Demurrage Solutions competes in container logistics: we cut their ad spend from $1,000 to under $300 a month while conversions rose 370%, because owning a niche organically beats renting it forever.

Brisbane SEO agency questions, answered.
What should I look for in a Brisbane SEO agency?
Four things, in this order. Ask what they rank for themselves, because an SEO agency that cannot rank its own business is selling you something it has not done. Ask for named clients with numbers you can check, not anonymous percentages. Ask what happens to the website, because rankings into a page that does not convert are traffic you paid for and wasted. And ask what you are locked into: a month-to-month agreement means the agency has to keep earning the work, and the ones that insist on twelve months usually know why.
Are you a full-service SEO agency, or SEO only?
Both, depending on what you need. rank.™ and rank+™ are pure SEO products. Growth Marketing adds Google Ads, Meta and conversion work under one accountable team, and the wider LINK group covers brand and design through LINK Creative and accounting through LINK Advisors. You are not handed between agencies, and nothing gets sold to you that the search data does not support.
How much does SEO cost in Brisbane?
The Brisbane market runs roughly $1,400 to $5,000+ per month for traditional agency retainers, with enterprise work beyond $10,000. LINK Marketing works differently: rank.™ is fully automated SEO at $250 a month, rank+™ adds live competitor tracking, a monthly landing page and a senior check-in for $400 to $600 a month, and Growth Marketing runs $2,000 to $5,000 a month when Google Ads and content strategy join. Every tier starts with a one-off $1,200 + GST conversion website build.
Why are you so much cheaper than other Brisbane SEO agencies?
Automation, deliberately applied. AI now does the repetitive work that used to fill agency retainers: drafting, tracking, technical checks, reporting. Our strategists do the thinking (keyword strategy, positioning, review), the automation executes weekly, and the saving lands with you. Same strategy-led method we use on LINK's own businesses, at a price built for small business.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No, and neither does anyone credible: Google itself warns that nobody can guarantee a #1 ranking. What we do guarantee is value: the $500 + GST Strategy Session is money-back if you don't leave with clarity worth more than the fee, and every product is month-to-month with no lock-in, so we have to keep earning the work. That's a stronger promise than a rankings guarantee, because you can act on it.
How long does SEO take to work in Brisbane?
Suburb and niche-service terms typically move within two to three months. Competitive city-wide terms take six to twelve. PestGone's leads climbed inside the first quarter because we targeted winnable niche terms first (end-of-lease, specific pests) rather than fighting franchises for the broadest phrase. Your dashboard shows movement from week one, and quick wins fund the patience the big terms need.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No lock-in, ever. rank.™ and rank+™ are month-to-month subscriptions you can cancel anytime. We'd rather keep you with results than with paperwork.
What's included in the $1,200 website build?
A fast, modern lead-generation website engineered around the exact keywords your SEO will target: conversion-focused structure, clear calls to action, lead tracking built in. It's required because traffic pointed at a site that can't convert is money burned. The site is yours to keep.
I already have a website. Can you work with it?
Our products publish natively to sites on our stack, which is what makes them affordable and fast, so we rebuild your site as part of onboarding ($1,200 + GST one-off). Most clients find the new site converts better within weeks, before the SEO gains even land. Your domain, brand and content come across; slow page builders and plugin debt don't.
What's the difference between rank. and rank+?
rank.™ ($250/mo) is fully automated: strategist-configured keywords, weekly AI content, tracking, on-page fixes, monthly email report. rank+™ ($400-$600/mo) adds the human layer: live competitor tracking, a new landing page built every month for your hottest keywords, a monthly check-in with David James, Google Business Profile and review engines, and quarterly content refreshes.
Who actually does the work?
The strategy is set and reviewed by the founders: James Webb (business strategy, built the LINK group from one service to seven figures) and David James (the SEO strategist behind LINK's own rankings). AI automation executes the weekly work under that direction, on rank.™ - LINK's own proprietary platform, built in-house rather than white-labelled from a reseller. No offshore content mills, no junior account manager between you and the people responsible.
Do you do local SEO and Google Business Profile optimisation?
Yes. For Brisbane service businesses the map pack is often where the phone calls come from, so rank+™ includes Google Business Profile optimisation, weekly GBP posts cut from your published articles, and a monthly review-request campaign, because review velocity is the strongest local signal you control.
Can you get me leads, not just rankings?
Leads are the product. Every client site is built to convert, every form submission is tracked in your portal with the page that produced it, and our case studies are counted in booked jobs, not positions: 25-30 leads a month for PestGone, a two-month forward book for LKV Flooring. Rankings are how we get there, not the finish line.
Do you work with businesses outside Brisbane?
Yes. Brisbane is home (Level 1, 57 Berwick Street, Fortitude Valley), and the same products run for clients on the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Australia-wide, including Melbourne and interstate B2B clients like Demurrage Solutions.
What do I see along the way?
A live client portal: keyword positions checked automatically, traffic from Google Search Console, content published with quality scores, leads captured, and the recommended next moves. Plus a monthly check-in with a senior strategist on rank+™ and above. You'll never wonder what you're paying for.
Is AI-written content safe for SEO?
Google's own guidance is that it rewards helpful content regardless of how it's produced, and penalises unhelpful content the same way. Our automation drafts against a strategist-built keyword map, every article carries quality scores (human voice, keyword fit, readability), and you approve content before it publishes. The result reads like a person wrote it, because that's the standard it's held to.
Why choose LINK Marketing over a bigger SEO agency?
Three reasons clients give us: proof (named clients with real numbers, not logos), skin in the game (LINK's own seven-figure group grew on exactly this playbook, and you can verify our divisions' rankings yourself), and terms with no traps (published pricing, no lock-in, money-back strategy session). We built the offer to remove every excuse, including price.
What about AI search - ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews?
It's already part of the build. AI answer engines cite pages with clean structured data, direct question-answering content and visible expertise - exactly the format rankbot publishes and this site itself runs on. As more Brisbane buyers ask an AI instead of scrolling results, the businesses those tools cite win the enquiry, and we build to be cited.
