SEO Hobart.

Get found by people already looking. Not traffic. Not rankings. Phone calls. Straight talk on what it costs.

You’ve been burnt before.

Nearly everyone who calls us about SEO has paid someone for it already. A monthly report full of green arrows, a ranking that moved for a keyword nobody searches, and no extra work coming in.

SEO has a bad name in this town because it has been sold badly in this town.

It isn’t magic and it isn’t a dark art. It’s making your website the most obviously correct answer to a question someone in Hobart is typing right now.

SEO has a bad name in this town because it was sold badly in this town.

We spend a lot of first meetings undoing someone else’s twelve-month contract.

What you’ll actually spend.

It’s the most-asked question about SEO on Google. Most agency pages answer it on the fourth phone call.

SEO is bought in months, not weeks. A cheap plan that does nothing for a year isn’t cheap.

What moves the number is your trade, the state of your site, and how much writing it needs.

You get the floor before you commit a dollar. Under it, we’ll say so and point you at Ads.

No lock-in contract. If we’re not earning it, leave.

What we actually do.

  1. A technical fix-up first

    Speed, mobile, crawling, the things quietly capping everything else. Unglamorous, and it comes first for a reason.

  2. Keyword research that respects reality

    What people in Hobart actually type, and which of those are worth owning. A number-one ranking for a phrase nobody searches is a screenshot, not a lead.

  3. A real page per service

    Not one page listing twelve things. Google can only rank a page for what that page is about.

  4. Your Google Business Profile, run properly

    In a city this size the map pack decides most of it. Three listings sit above everything else.

  5. Content written by someone who asked you questions

    Your trade has detail in it. That detail is the thing that ranks.

  6. Reporting in plain English

    Rankings, calls, forms, and what we did about them. No translator required.

Is SEO dead now that
AI answers everything?

No. But it has changed, and anyone saying otherwise hasn’t looked.

AI Overviews are built out of the pages ranking beneath them. Being the clearest answer is how you get quoted.

Thin filler written to hit a word count is dead. Good riddance.

And nobody asks an AI to come and unblock their drain.

What it looks like
when it works.

Could you just do it yourself?

Honestly, some of it, yes.

Do this yourself. Genuinely.

  • Claim your Google Business Profile
  • Fill in every single field
  • Ask for reviews, every week, forever
  • Write a real page per service
  • Answer the questions customers actually ask

Tell us you want this half and we’ll show you how, free.

You’ll want us for the rest.

  • Why a competitor’s thinner page outranks yours
  • Which of your pages are fighting each other
  • Why the site takes six seconds on a phone in Kingston
  • What to write next, and what to delete
  • Whether any of it is actually working

The part you can’t see is the part worth paying for.

Hobart is its own thing.

Searching from Hobart is not like searching from Sydney. Agencies on the mainland don’t feel the difference.

The map pack decides most of it. Three listings sit above everything else. The rest is decoration.

And reputation travels here. Half the enquiries start in a Facebook group, then a Google search of the names. Both have to work.

We’re up the road. That’s the whole point.

Questions we get asked.

  • How much does SEO cost in Hobart?

    Less than most mainland agencies and more than the $299-a-month plans you’ll see advertised. What moves the number is how competitive your trade is and how much needs fixing before anything can improve. We’ll give you the figure before you commit, not on the fourth call.

  • How long until it works?

    Three to six months before it’s obvious, and we’d be lying if we said otherwise. Local map rankings can move faster. Anyone promising page one in thirty days is either guessing or selling you a keyword nobody searches.

  • Is SEO dead now with AI?

    No, but thin filler content is. AI Overviews are built out of the pages that rank beneath them, so being the clear, credible answer still matters. And nobody asks ChatGPT to come and unblock their drain.

  • Can I do SEO myself?

    Some of it, genuinely. Claim your Google Business Profile, fill in every field, get reviews regularly, write a real page per service. Tell us you want to do that part and we’ll show you how.

  • Do I own the work if we part ways?

    Yes. The site, the content, the profile, the data. It all stays with you. Some agencies build on a platform you can’t take with you. Ask them.

  • Should I do SEO or Google Ads?

    Ads buy traffic today. SEO earns it over months. If you need the phone to ring this week, start with Ads. We’ll tell you that even though this is the SEO page.

Needed the phone to ring sooner than that? Google Ads buys you traffic today. Site holding you back? Start with web design.

For companies and individuals who do not understand what SEO is or the importance that digital presence plays in today's society and the success of their business, they need to talk to Aaron and Tom at Wally.

Clear and concise explanations in a world filled with the mumbo jargon of the ever changing landscape of SEO algorithms.

To put it bluntly, you would do yourself and your business a total disservice if you didn't speak to the Wally team. They do not lock you into long term contracts and they have a simple goal of wanting you and your business to succeed.

I've worked with Aaron for nearly 10 years now, and have always found him to be very approachable on a personal level, and his results speak for themselves with our business sales and growth. He helped us through a tricky transition period when our business situation changed, and went above and beyond to support us going forward, and we haven't looked back!

We contacted Aaron last year when our Google business listing was virtually unfindable.

Previous attempts to improve our seo and boost our listing with other services had been unsuccessful but after meeting with Aaron and his team we knew we were in capable hands.

Their communication was clear and efficient, and they were able to tailor a professional website to our budget and needs.

Best of all our listing shot to the top three in a matter of months converting to more job leads.

I would recommend their services to anyone looking to grow their business
