Direct Access to a Qualified SEO Consultant, Not an Account Manager Reading From a Template

If you’ve worked with an agency before, you know the pattern: a salesperson closes the deal, then you’re handed off to a junior account manager who relays updates from a strategist you never actually speak to. ALC Consulting works differently. As an SEO consultant working with businesses across Australia, I work directly with you, no hand-offs, no relay, no “I’ll check with the team and get back to you.”

Whether you need a one-off strategy engagement, an ongoing consulting relationship, or a technical second opinion on an in-house SEO effort, you’re getting six-plus years of hands-on experience and a QUT-qualified strategist, not a generalist account manager.

OUR SERVICES

What an SEO Consultant Actually Does (and How It's Different From "SEO Services")

An SEO consultant is engaged for strategy, diagnosis and direction, not just execution. That distinction matters because a lot of businesses hire “SEO services” expecting strategic guidance and instead get a checklist of generic tasks completed by whoever’s free that week.

As your SEO consultant, the work typically includes:

Strategy Audits

A full diagnosis of where your current SEO is leaking value, not just a list of technical errors

Competitor and market analysis

Understanding exactly who you’re actually competing with in the SERPs, and where the realistic opportunities sit

Keyword and intent mapping

Matching your commercial priorities to what your customers are actually searching for

Technical Direction

Identifying and prioritising the fixes that move the needle, not a 200-item report that overwhelms your dev team

Content & Link Strategy

A roadmap your team (or ours) can execute against

Ongoing Advisory

A consultant you can bring specific questions to as your business and the search landscape change

CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES

Measurable Growth & Strategic Impact

I think you are a great presenter, and there is a need in the market, especially in the agency world, for agency owners to invest in facilitated team training rather than self-driven online training offered by platforms. This is great for team culture and better for professional development.

We engaged Annabelle and Grace to provide SEO and digital marketing support from the commencement of our practice and have been very pleased with their work. They are reliable, deliver on their commitments, and communicate clearly and professionally. They have demonstrated a strong understanding of our business and have gone above and beyond in their support. We have enjoyed working with them and would not hesitate to recommend their services.

Annabelle has been wonderful to work with on our SEO and blog content. She has taken the time to really understand our business, our target market and the style and tone we want to present through our website and online presence. The blogs are SEO work she produces feel tailored to our business rather than generic content, which is something we really appreciate. She is always professional, creative and easy to communicate with, and the whole process has been smooth and enjoyable from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an SEO consultant or an SEO agency?

If you want someone to own the strategy and direction while you (or your internal team) handle execution, a consultant is the right fit. If you want the strategy and the execution handled end-to-end, our SEO Services offering covers both.

Do you only work with Sunshine Coast businesses?

No. ALC is based on the Sunshine Coast and knows the local market well, but consulting engagements run Australia-wide.

What does an SEO consultant cost in Australia?

Consulting engagements are scoped individually based on the size of the challenge — from a single strategic audit through to an ongoing monthly advisory relationship, typically starting from around $995 excl. GST/month for ongoing work. Book a free strategy session and you’ll get a clear quote, not a generic price list.

Do you work with businesses outside Queensland?

Yes — while ALC is based on the Sunshine Coast, consulting clients are based right across Australia, from capital cities to regional areas.
