We built a roofing company to $1 million a year on search alone
Searchmaxxed grew out of Radiant Roof Repairs, a Gold Coast roofing business Brenden built with search as its only marketing channel. Everything below comes from that company's own records, and it is the only result on this site that is ours rather than a client's.
A new business with no traffic and no reviews reached more than $1 million a year in revenue.
Three high-intent roofing searches held the top organic position within 90 days of the work starting.
No ad budget, no bought leads, no outbound calling, so every enquiry traced back to a page or the profile.
One market with beatable competitors. Yours is sized in the audit before anyone promises a timeline.
Brenden built Radiant Roof Repairs by hand, with search as its only marketing channel. He now runs Searchmaxxed from the Sunshine Coast and approves everything that ships. Across our client book, our work has generated more than $10 million in revenue through search. These are the four steps we'd run for a Sunshine Coast business.
- STEP 01Study the winners: take apart every page that outranks you and note what Google rewards in your market.
- STEP 02Build one page per buying search, for each service and each area you serve, and answer that search in full.
- STEP 03Treat the Business Profile like the website: keep it accurate and ask for a review after every job.
- STEP 04Change something every week, chosen from last week's rankings, calls and booked jobs.
Revenue comes from the company's own records and the search figures from Google Search Console for the same property. It records what happened in one market, and your market gets sized in the audit.

Which industries do we build search for?
Every trade and profession searches in its own words and checks different proof before it calls. We build each one's pages from its own searches, rules and sources.
Legal SEO
Someone who needs a lawyer searches for their problem first: a family dispute, a property settlement, a will. We give each practice area and common matter its own page. Each page carries the lawyer's real credentials and a plain account of how the firm handles it.
Healthcare SEO
A patient might search for a physio, a skin clinic or a named GP. We build pages for each treatment and practitioner and keep clinic details identical across the web. We also write every claim within the advertising rules health practitioners work under.
Construction SEO
Constructiv Digital, which markets construction companies, ranked its Sunshine Coast page for 'seo sunshine coast' on 28 September 2026. Builders' clients search by project type and region, so we tie each page to real projects, licences and the areas you build in.
Ecommerce SEO
Shoppers who don't know your brand arrive on category and product pages. We shape the collections around what they search, add product schema that matches each page and track revenue by landing page in GA4.
B2B SEO
A Coast company selling to other businesses can win work in Sydney or overseas through search. Its buyers read service, industry and comparison pages long before a sales call, so we build those pages with the proof a buying team checks.
Local service business SEO
A roofer, plumber or electrician wins work through service-by-suburb pages, the map pack and a steady run of reviews. Brenden used that model to build Radiant Roof Repairs on the Gold Coast, and we built our Local Search package on it.
What does Google show for 'seo sunshine coast'?
We ran an Australia-wide desktop Google search for 'seo sunshine coast' on 28 September 2026. Three local agencies filled the map pack above the organic results. They were Lucky 44 in Maroochydore, Digital Nomads HQ in Mooloolaba and Websites That Sell in Forest Glen. Their Google ratings sat between 4.9 and 5.0 from 41 to 108 reviews, and each listed at least 10 years in business.
The nine organic results mixed agency pages, job boards and a forum thread. Four came from firms that sell SEO alongside web design or copywriting: Luda Creative, SunCoast Digital, The Creative Type and Mucho. iEnhance ranked a dedicated SEO page, and Constructiv Digital ranked a Sunshine Coast page for construction companies. The other three were SEO job listings on Indeed and Jora and a Reddit thread about Brisbane SEO companies.
Google showed no AI Overview for this search. Its People Also Ask box held four questions, one of them about SEO prices in Brisbane. The filter chips offered 'Open now' and 'Top rated'. Google treated the search like a hunt for a nearby business. Google says AI Overviews only show when its systems judge them additive to classic Search, and they often don't trigger.
Two things follow for a Coast business choosing an agency. The map pack decides the first look, and all three agencies in it showed dozens of reviews and near-perfect ratings. Behind it, iEnhance ranked the only general page built for SEO services alone. Run your own buying searches the same way: if they look this thin, a business that builds one page per service has room to move. Then ask each agency how it would win the profile, the page and the answer.
What does an AI answer need before it names a Sunshine Coast business?
AI engines name the businesses they can reach, read and cross-check. Google's rule for AI Overviews and AI Mode is plain. A page must be indexed and eligible to show in Search with a snippet, and there are no extra technical requirements.
Google lists the SEO basics that carry over. Crawling must be allowed in robots.txt and by your hosting or CDN. Important content should sit in text, structured data should match the visible page and your Business Profile details should be up to date.
Google also says AI Overviews and AI Mode may run several related searches across subtopics to build one answer. A plumber with one services page gives those searches one thing to find. A plumber with a page for each service and area gives them many.
ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity pick their own sources, so we work on facts all of them can check. That means services, service areas, dated proof and any prices you publish, stated plainly on your own pages. Then we build the reviews, listings and mentions that repeat those facts elsewhere. Each week we put your buyers' questions to the engines and log who they name, with the prompt, engine and date. AEO and GEO come inside every managed package, run by the same team as the SEO.
Comparing Sunshine Coast SEO agencies?
Brenden's shortlist of Sunshine Coast SEO agencies sets out what each one publishes about its team, prices, proof and AI search work. We put ourselves first and say so.
Why does SEO stall after the website launches?
A website build and an SEO service are different jobs. Four of the nine organic results for 'seo sunshine coast' came from web design or copywriting firms that also sell SEO. The build ends at launch. SEO starts there, and the enquiries come from what ships each week after it.
Before you sign, ask to see an agency's last month of releases. Check the live URLs and what changed on each. Then ask which number they built each change to move. We send deployment proof with every release, so you can open the change yourself.
Launched, then left
The site goes live with basic SEO settings and nothing changes after that. Competitors keep adding pages and your rankings drift. Ask what will ship in month two and month six before you pay for month one.
One page for every service
A buyer on the Coast searches for one job in one place. A single services page can't answer twenty of those searches, so it ranks for few of them. Each service worth winning needs its own page, proof and enquiry path.
A profile nobody updates
Hours change, services grow and new suburbs go on the website, yet the profile still shows launch-day details. Google asks for an accurate and precise address or service area, and a profile left alone drifts from both the website and the business.
Reports with no releases
A monthly report lands and the charts wobble, yet nothing on the site has changed. The searches that pay stay with a competitor. Count the URLs that went live last month before you read a single graph.
What happens each week once we start?
We build your Agentic Website on GitHub and Vercel, and you own it. Each week, teams of AI agents collect data from your Search Console, GA4, Sunshine Coast Google results, competitor sites, reviews and AI answers. Our Managed Search Loop checks that data against your plan and picks the next best job. That job might be a new page, a fix, or a link or review from another site through our Off-Page Source Layer. A person checks every change before it goes live. Then we measure what it did, so the site gets better every week.

How will you know the work is paying back?
The map pack and the organic results get measured in different ways, so we track both. Every check answers to one number: qualified enquiries.
SEARCH CONSOLE BY PAGE AND QUERY
We track clicks, impressions and position for each buying search, page by page. Google reports sites that appear in AI Overviews and AI Mode inside the Performance report's 'Web' search type. So that traffic sits with the rest of your search data.
A GEO-GRID ACROSS YOUR SERVICE AREA
One rank check from one address tells you about one street. On Local Search, we scan a grid of points across your service area each month. Then we mark where your profile makes the map pack and where it falls out.
ENQUIRIES BY SERVICE
GA4 tells us which pages bring calls, forms and bookings, service by service. Share your job values and we attach them, so the next build goes where the best-paying work comes from.
AI ANSWER READINGS
Each week we put buyer questions to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI features and note who gets named. You get the prompt, engine and date for every reading and can rerun it yourself.
