SEO consultant in Geelong, where page one is still genuinely reachable.

Considerably, and it is the main reason to start here. Competition is thinner, click costs are a fraction of Melbourne's, and many local businesses have no dedicated local content at all. Suburb terms often move in four to eight weeks rather than the three to six months an equivalent Melbourne push would take.

Eventually, and not first. Win Geelong because it is achievable, then push into Melbourne's western suburbs, Werribee, Point Cook and Hoppers Crossing, which are the closest and least contested part of that market. Attacking central Melbourne from a standing start costs several times more and takes several times longer for the same number of enquiries.

Our engagements run $2,500 to $5,000 a month regardless of suburb, because the work is the same. What changes with the area is how long it takes: regional victoria competition means suburb terms frequently move in four to eight weeks. You get the scope and the number before anything starts.
