The short answer

What an SEO consultant does (and when you need one instead of an agency)
An SEO consultant looks at your website the way Google does, works out why it isn't bringing in enquiries, and tells you what to do about it in order of importance. The output is advice and a plan. Some consultants stop there. Others also do the work.
You probably need a consultant rather than a full agency retainer if you already have someone who can make changes to the site, such as a developer, an in-house marketer or a capable office manager. You may also need one before a redesign, after a traffic drop you can't explain, or when you've paid for SEO before and couldn't tell what you got for it.
An agency makes more sense when nobody on your side has the time to write content, fix technical issues and build links month after month. Our SEO Brisbane page covers that ongoing service in detail.
How a consultation with Amann works
It starts with a free 45-minute call, booked through our appointments calendar. Amann asks what a good month looks like for your business, which services and suburbs matter most, and what you've tried so far. If you'd like a quick look before talking to anyone, start with a free SEO check.
- The call. We talk through your goals, your site and the searches you want to show up for.
- The audit. We check your site's technical setup, content, Google Business Profile and competitors, using Google Search Console and GA4 where you can give us access.
- The written plan. You get a prioritised list of fixes and opportunities in plain English, with quick wins first.
- Who does the work. You can run the plan yourself or with your developer, or our in-house team can do it for you on a monthly plan.
Either way, you deal with Amann. He doesn't hand your account to someone you've never spoken to.
One-off options: SEO audit, strategy session, site migration review
Not every business needs a retainer. These one-off pieces of work suit owners who want expert direction and have their own way of getting things done.
SEO audit
A detailed health check covering technical setup, indexing, page speed, content quality, local SEO, backlinks and a competitor comparison. It ends with an action plan you can follow. See what's included on our SEO audit page.
Strategy session
A working session with Amann for owners or in-house marketers who want answers to specific questions: which pages to build next, why a competitor outranks you, or how to fix a problem Search Console is flagging.
Site migration review
Moving to a new website, platform or domain is the easiest way to lose rankings you spent years building. We review your URL inventory and redirect map before launch, then check that nothing slipped through afterwards. More on our SEO migration page.
Each of these is quoted in writing after the first call, once we know the size of your site and what you need. Ongoing plans are listed on our SEO pricing page.
Results from Brisbane clients
These figures come from SE Ranking rank tracking on Google Australia, as published in each case study.
- Budget Tree Removal, a Brisbane tree removal business, had 4 keywords on page one when tracking began in May 2026, all of them brand terms. By September 2026 it had 39 tracked keywords on page one, with "emergency tree removal brisbane" at #3.
- Shopace, an embroidery, printing and workwear business in Sumner, had 39 page-one keywords out of 239 tracked as of September 2026. It sits at #1 for "embroidery Goodna", "embroidery Redbank" and "workwear printing Redbank Plains".
- Success Immigration is outside Brisbane, in Port Macquarie, but the same process applied: 40 of 55 tracked keywords on page one by September 2026, and "migration agent Port Macquarie" moved from outside the top 100 to #1.
We still judge this work by calls and enquiries, not rankings alone. More examples are on our case studies page.

Amann set up AR Digital Solutions in 2009 and has spent 17 years in web design and SEO. He is the Director, and the business now has an in-house team of 32 in Pallara, on Brisbane's southside. Nothing is outsourced, so the person explaining your report works alongside the people who made the changes.
The business is a Meta Business Partner and Shopify Partner, and Google Ads certified. We also run our own cPanel/WHM server hosting more than 200 client websites, which means speed and technical fixes rarely wait on a third-party support queue.
