SEO, done differently.
Ask our SEO team about search engine optimisation that grows your balance sheet, without breaking the bank.
Our Perth-based SEO experts will take your business goals, then create and execute an SEO strategy that helps you achieve them.
Measurable results. Tangible value. Quantifiable ROI. And if we don’t deliver, you can walk away. No lock-in contracts here. See? Simple.
Step off the SEO hamster wheel. Get strategic.
Most SEO firms in Perth and across Australia set goals, but they’re typically goals designed to make them look good. Ranking for worthless keywords. Generating unqualified traffic. Generally chasing low or no-value metrics.
At Distl, our SEO goals are aligned 100% with your business goals – a revenue target, geographic expansion, whatever you want to achieve. And we’ll create and execute an SEO strategy to get you there, with custom metrics, quarterly milestones and measurable results.
Instead of see-saw rankings and traffic that make a dent in your budget, but not your strategic objectives, our in-house SEO specialists deliver consistency. Consistent rankings. Consistent qualified traffic. Consistent progress toward your KPIs and mission milestones.
Every little detail of the big SEO picture.
Call us SEO control freaks, but we never outsource. You’ll have a dedicated account manager, here to answer your calls or catch up face-to-face in Perth. Behind them you’ll find specialists with all the skills required to build the SEO trust and relevance you need to dominate the search results.
That means we do it all. Optimised, user-focused content. Authoritative backlinks and citations. Content syndication. Everything and anything SEO, including ensuring your website’s design, code and user experience make Google happy.
So, rankings are a given. So too are qualified traffic, leads and enquiries. But ultimately, like everything we do at Distl, our data-driven, strategy-focused approach to SEO translates into brand value and equity. Try finding another SEO company in Perth that promises that.

High impact SEO, boiled down to what matters.
SEO is complex. Our specialists have spent years sharpening their skills and understanding of the subject in order to help businesses like yours succeed. However, when it comes to what matters most, it can be simplified to four fundamental pillars that anyone can understand.
If you want to improve your sites SEO performance, you need to focus on the following:
- Content
- Authority
- Trust
- User Experience (UX)
Content
Content is critical to SEO and to the success of your website. When working together in harmony, the combination can propel your website to the top of search engine rankings.
On the flip side, harmful content can stall your rankings or worse, trigger a Google penalty. And recovering can be a challenge.
That is why high quality, relevant content is a valuable investment now and for the future.
Authority
Just as your business has authority in the real world, it should also in the digital space.
This type of authority, known as domain and page authority, is key to any good SEO strategy and essential to your digital performance. By improving technical and offsite SEO through an enhanced backlink profile, guest posting and more, you’ll develop the foundations for improved business equity.
What is domain authority?
While a new site with minimal links and content, might have low authority, a strong backlink profile and strong engagement metrics resulting from high-quality content will generally lead to higher authority in the eyes of the search engines.
Our in-house SEO specialists and technical team are experts in improving domain authority. We customise a strategy to increase your authority ethically, transparently and with the long game in mind.
When you engage us in SEO, you can see the work we are completing as part of an ongoing strategy with measurable quarterly milestones. Our monthly and quarterly reports show how your business is progressing with agreed performance metrics.
Some of the actions that our team use to build domain authority include:
- Supplier / partner backlinks
- Guest posts
- Competitor backlinks
- Backlink disavows
- Australian directories
- YouTube backlinks
- Recover lost backlinks
- Anchor text optimisation
- Sharing and promoting videos
- Finding link roundups
- Industry specific interviews
Trust
Key to most purchase decisions is trust. Does a business have a good reputation? Have other buyers had a good experience? Will they rip me off?
In the past, this trust was earned in person. Great service led to people saying good things about you. Word of mouth spread, and your reputation grew.
While the concept is the same in the digital world, the strategy is very different.
The online consumer (who account for 5.6 billion Google searches per day) can research and make informed decisions more efficiently than ever. They can check your social media pages to see how you interact with your customers. They can browse your Google reviews to see what past customers have to say. From there they may go to your site to read about you or sign up for your email newsletters.
And all this can be done before even making contact with you.
As customers look for businesses that align with their needs and values, it’s important to build your profile offsite to showcase your brand and create trust.
As part of our SEO services, we will identify opportunities that reach your target audience and give them a reason to engage with your brand. When done right this leads to long term relationships that turn your customers into brand advocates.
This might mean we’re reworking your Google My Business profile, advising you on social media management and developing compelling copy for your website.
Whatever the short-term requirements, we’ll stay focussed on hitting your long-term objectives.
Some of the ways we can help your business build trust in the digital space include:
- Google My Business posts
- Organic social posts
- Google reviews
- Optimise social platforms
- Email marketing
- Implement social patterns
- Share quality content
- Create quality content
User Experience
Great website user experience is the intersection of quality content, technical performance, engaging design and thoughtful navigation. So naturally it should have an influence on your sites ranking. And it does.
Great user experience?
Imagine you’ve just walked into your local grocery store. Everything is displayed nicely. Clear signage, logical store layout, helpful staff, and you know exactly how to check out.
Developing a great website UX is just the same. Visitors need to find what they need quickly and effectively through element like:
- an intuitive sitemap
- clear, keyword-focused headings
- high quality, relevant content
- easy to locate contact information
When your site delivers the most valuable and relevant content in an intuitive manner, it leads to strong visitor engagement metrics. This sends the message to Google that your site deserves higher ranking.
What do we do?
When you engage us for SEO services, one of our first steps is to review your sites structure, headings, meta descriptions and technical performance to find UX improvements.
Any changes are closely monitored over the coming months to ensure that they are aligning to your quarterly and long-term SEO goals.
Some ways we can assist in improving your user experience include:
- Technical enhancements
- Website IA improvements
- Meta tags
- Conversion Optimisation
- Enquiry path optimisation
- Schema implementation
- Add click to call / email
- Heat mapping review
- Mobile optimisation
- Page hierarchy optimisation
- Customer journey mapping
- SSL certificates
SEO FAQ’s
Should I worry about search engine optimisation (SEO)?
SEO can be really effective at building brand equity, raising your brand’s profile and winning new business, consistently and sustainably. Extremely effective. But it all depends on your strategic goals. Talk to our SEO and digital strategists in Perth about what you want to achieve, and we’ll tell you whether SEO is a good option.
What does search engine optimisation involve?
To cut a long and technical story short, our SEO process breaks down into four stages:
Research. We’ll research your business and assess your competitors.
Strategy. Then, we’ll set your strategic goals and develop an SEO strategy to achieve them.
Optimisation. Next, we’ll optimise your website (structure, performance, content).
Improvement. We’ll continually develop and improve your website’s domain authority, user experience, content and trust.
What’s domain authority, and why does it matter?
Google assigns an authority score to every website based on a number of factors and indicators, such as backlinks (links pointing to your website). The better your website’s score – relative to your competitors’ scores – the easier it becomes to secure and maintain high rankings in Google’s search results. All of which makes domain authority a fundamental part of SEO.
How long does SEO take to make a difference?
Normally, we’d expect some quick wins, but search engine optimisation is really a medium-term and long-term strategy, mainly because there are a gazillion factors influencing SEO success. In time, we’ll get all your SEO ducks in a row, and as we do you’ll see increasing ROI from your SEO investment.
How much do your SEO services cost?
No two SEO strategies are identical. The same goes for our SEO quotes and costs, which are determined by four key factors:
History. What’s your SEO legacy? If you’ve been using dubious SEO tactics or have toxic backlinks, we’ll need to put in extra work to undo the damage.
Geography. SEO for a local market, like Perth, requires less work than SEO for an international market. And less work means lower costs.
Competitiveness. The more competitive your industry (the more brands competing for your SEO search terms), the harder it is to dominate. We’ll get there, but it’ll require more work.
Diversity. Only got one product or service? Then SEO is relatively straightforward. But if you have a whole heap of products or services, all requiring SEO, then it’s going to cost more.
How do you measure SEO success?
By your strategic goals. By the equity or value it adds to your brand. Otherwise, what’s the point? To achieve your goals and build equity, we’ll set quarterly targets and milestones. And as part of that process, our team in Perth will track a host of metrics, like website traffic, page traffic, traffic per keyword, conversions and much, much more. But at the end of the day, we’ll measure success the same way you do – by your business and bottom-line goals.
ROI: How can I measure the return on my SEO investment?
It’s not a simple calculation, but we’ll work with you to ensure we measure and track all the SEO metrics we need to put an ROI figure on your SEO.
We’ll look at everything, from the value of your transactions and the lifetime value of each client, through to traffic quality, quantity and conversion rates. And we’ll walk you through our ROI calculations.
Do you expect me to sign an SEO contract?
No way. We don’t believe in contracts. We believe you should be able to walk away if we’re not meeting your expectations. That’s how confident we are in our SEO specialists, tactics and strategies.
So if, for any reason, you’re not satisfied with the progress we’re making or the SEO results we deliver, just tell our team in Perth that you want to call it quits before the start of the next month.
Why not take a look at some reviews to see what our clients have to say!
Will SEO alone grow my business?
Search engine optimisation is often a great option, particularly for raising your profile, generating website traffic and improving your conversion rates. That said, there’s only so much SEO can do, so it should just be one of the weapons in your digital marketing arsenal.
SEO can do a lot of heavy lifting from a new-business perspective and drive tangible improvements to your bottom line, but we’re here to build equity into your brand and business, and that requires a broader strategy.
What’s user experience (UX)? And what has it got to do with SEO?
User experience is (surprise, surprise) the experience a user has when they visit your site. When users can easily navigate your site, when they enjoy or engage with your content, when they don’t have to wait eons for your site to load, then you have a good experience (or good UX).
Why does this matter? Because when users are happy, they convert. And crucially, when users are happy, Google is happy. And that’s when you get even better search engine rankings.
How many SEO keywords should I focus on?
Not all SEO keywords or search terms are equal, so it isn’t really a case of ‘How many?’ It’s important to focus on ‘Which ones?’ It can be easier to rank for some keywords, especially longer search terms, whereas others are more competitive.
We’ll work with you to identify the terms and topics that are most relevant and useful, given your unique situation and objectives – the ones that will deliver the biggest bang for your SEO bucks.
Will blog posts be part of my SEO strategy?
If it makes sense for you, yes. Trouble is, blog posts are just one SEO tactic and may not be a good way to spend your SEO budget.
That’s why we’ll create a custom SEO strategy for you. It may be that blog articles are a good option. And if they are, you can rest assured we’ll research and write them in-house at our Perth headquarters, so you know they’ll be quality posts that will add tangible value – no outsourcing to overseas writers here.
How do I stand out in the search engine results?
Google Maps listings. Google Reviews. FAQ listings… There are all sorts of ways to stand out from your competitors – whether they’re in Perth, across Australia or global – and we use them all when we take care of your SEO.
NO SEO CONTRACTS.
NO SET-AND-FORGET TACTICS.
NO POINTLESS RANKINGS.
Just measurable results from Perth’s most accountable SEO team.
SEO has a bad reputation
More specifically, your average search engine optimisation agency does, and not just in Perth. Too many businesses are burnt by SEO ‘experts’ who over-promise and lock you into a contract, then under-deliver. But rules always have exceptions. And that’s us.
Since the dawn of the Internet, we’ve been honing our craft. Through every Google twist and turn, we’ve learned and developed a process that’s propelled the rankings and more importantly, the bottom line of hundreds of Perth businesses.
So whether you’re looking for growth, leads or to dominate your market, our data driven, mission focussed approach is here for you.
And on top of this, the secret to our SEO success? Hard work.
We don't believe in SEO Contracts
Instead, we believe we should earn your loyalty and, if we don’t deliver, you should be free to go to another SEO agency.

What do SEO Specialists do?
We deliver qualified traffic that converts into leads and sales. And we do it for organisations of different sizes, from different industries, throughout Perth and beyond. See for yourself.
How do we do it? Well, that’s the secret sauce – a special blend of best practice across:

When you come on board with Distl, you will receive a dedicated SEO specialist who will double as your account manager. This means your main point of contact isn’t just a middle man relaying information on to other experts. Your main point of contact is the expert.

From there, we will devise a strategy that will inform what we do for your SEO and how we will do it. Our SEO strategies use the OKR (Objectives and Key Results) methodology used by global heavyweights such as Google, Twitter and Amazon.
What’s more, you won’t find any ‘set and forget’ tactics here. On top of monthly reports, we will revisit your OKRs each quarter to measure performance, refine your strategy and realign our activities with your objectives to ensure we continue to track in the right direction.

- No pointless rankings – we only target search results that will deliver qualified traffic
But SEO results are just the start. Our value is generating long term business equity that propels your business beyond the day to day.
As much as our clients value our focus on metrics – leads, traffic, rankings and revenue, the best SEO is business focussed.
That’s why each client engagement starts with the end in mind – defining and measuring your big picture objectives so we can plot milestones to get you there. This strategic and measurable approach bypasses the vagueness our industry is sometimes know for in favour of real outcomes.
