THE ONE RESULT WE CAN PROVE

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.

ANNUAL REVENUE
$1m+, from zero

A new business with no traffic and no reviews reached more than $1 million a year in revenue.

TIME TO NUMBER ONE
Three searches, 90 days

Three high-intent roofing searches held the top organic position within 90 days of the work starting.

MARKETING CHANNEL
Search, and nothing else

No ad budget, no bought leads, no outbound calling, so every enquiry traced back to a page or the profile.

MARKET
One trade, Gold Coast

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.

  1. STEP 01Study the winners: take apart every page that outranks you and note what Google rewards in your market.
  2. STEP 02Build one page per buying search, for each service and each area you serve, and answer that search in full.
  3. STEP 03Treat the Business Profile like the website: keep it accurate and ask for a review after every job.
  4. 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.

What will Searchmaxxed do for your Sunshine Coast business?

Every service below runs through one system. Our AI agents feed the Managed Search Loop, and the loop picks the next job. We build that job on your Agentic Website or through our Off-Page Source Layer.

Search engine optimisation

We find the searches that turn into calls for your business, using Search Console, GA4 and keyword demand. Each one gets a page designed to win it. That page has the copy, layout, schema and internal links that search needs, plus a clear way to enquire.
See how it works →

Local SEO and your Business Profile

Google asks for one profile per business, named as it is in the real world, with the fewest categories that describe the core business. We build yours to that standard. If you work from home and travel to customers, we hide the address and set a service area.
See how it works →

Technical SEO

We crawl your site, then fix whatever stops Google crawling, indexing or reading it. Google only shows a page as a supporting link in AI Overviews or AI Mode once it's indexed and can show with a snippet. So we fix access problems before we add new pages.
See how it works →

Content and page building

We start each page from the search itself: the live results, the pages ranking for it and the questions buyers ask around it. The page opens with the answer, then gives the proof, service detail and any prices you publish. Brenden writes the money pages.
See how it works →

Link building and digital PR

Your business needs a record beyond its own website. We build it from local directory listings, genuine reviews, editorial links, press mentions and community sources. Every source gets logged as live, fetched or cited, and that log decides where we go next.
See how it works →

Generative engine optimisation

We find the questions Coast buyers put to AI engines before they hire, then fix the pages and outside sources the answers lean on. Your facts go on your own site as plain statements that an engine can repeat and a directory can confirm.
See how it works →

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 WE DO HERE

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.

AI SEARCH

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.

THE COMMERCIAL GAP

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.

HOW THE WORK RUNS

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.

Measure

First we write down where you stand today, so every later change has something to beat. That covers your Search Console queries and GA4 enquiries. It also covers map pack positions across your service area and AI answers to buyer questions. We also note any technical faults.
INPUT

Search Console, GA4, Business Profile and site access

OUTPUT

Dated baseline to measure every change against

Diagnose and rank

For each gap we ask what's causing it. It might be a service with no page, a page Google can't crawl, a weak internal link or no outside support. Fixes then get ranked by how near they sit to revenue, how strong the evidence is, what they cost and what they risk.
INPUT

Baseline, competitor pages and live Sunshine Coast results

OUTPUT

Ranked list of next releases

Ship

We research, build and review the top items. A person signs off every public change, then it goes live on your own site and repository with a record of what changed.
INPUT

Approved plan, service facts and proof

OUTPUT

Weekly release with deployment proof

Verify

After release we open each URL and check it works as built. Search Console then shows whether Google has crawled and indexed it, and we log both results.
INPUT

Released URLs and Search Console data

OUTPUT

Checked release log

Learn

Seven days tells us if something broke or jumped. Matched 28-day periods drive the monthly decisions and matched 90-day periods set direction. What we learn goes into your monthly decision memo and the next week's list.
INPUT

Search Console, GA4, map pack and AI answer readings

OUTPUT

Monthly decision memo and next priorities

MEASUREMENT

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.

PACKAGES

FAQ

Sunshine Coast SEO questions

How does Searchmaxxed's agentic SEO work?

+
We build AI agents that plug into your whole Search Console and GA4. Every week they scrape your competitors' sites, read the Google results and check what AI answers say about you. That data feeds our Managed Search Loop, which checks it against your plan and picks the next best job. We build the on-page assets on your Agentic Website, which lives on GitHub and Vercel and which you own. We build the off-page assets through our Off-Page Source Layer: links, reviews, citations, press and mentions. A person checks every change before it goes live. Then the agents measure what it did, and the loop picks the next job.

How much should I expect to pay for SEO?

+
The price should follow the work your market needs, so start by counting releases. A Coast trade serving a handful of suburbs needs fewer pages than an online store or a firm selling nationally. When you compare quotes, ask what each fee ships each month in pages, fixes and outside sources. Our packages put a number on it. That's at least 8 page releases a month in Local Search, 30 in the Growth System and 50 in Agentic Search Engineering. Let's talk pricing.

Is SEO still worth it in 2026?

+
Yes, if your customers search before they buy. On 28 September 2026 Google still answered 'seo sunshine coast' with a map pack and nine organic results. Google reports that clicks from results pages with AI Overviews are higher quality. It says those visitors are more likely to spend more time on the site. Radiant Roof Repairs grew past $1 million a year with SEO as its only marketing channel.

Which SEO company is the best in Australia?

+
Pick the one that can show you last month's live URLs and the Search Console and enquiry numbers behind them. We rank Searchmaxxed first for businesses that want one team to build, ship and measure search every week. Every client sees our release log.

Do I need an SEO agency based on the Sunshine Coast?

+
A local address helps less than a weekly read of your local results, and on the Coast you can have both. Brenden lives and works here, and the team reads your Search Console, the live Coast results and your competitors' pages every week. You talk to the people doing the work.

Should I hire an SEO consultant or an agency?

+
Choose on who does the work each week. A consultant is one person, so pages, technical fixes and outside sources take turns. A team can run all three at once. With us you get engineers and marketers in one team, plus direct contact with the people doing the work. Brenden also reads the evidence on every account.

Should I focus on the map pack or the organic results?

+
Both, if your customers are on the Coast. On 28 September 2026 Google put the map pack above every organic result for 'seo sunshine coast'. Your Business Profile feeds the map pack. Google says it can also pick up category information from your website and from mentions of your business around the web. A company selling beyond the region leans harder on organic pages and AI answers.

How long does SEO take to work?

+
It depends on how far your site sits from the pages that already win. A site with no service pages and a thin profile has more to build than one that's close. At Radiant Roof Repairs, three high-intent Gold Coast roofing searches reached number one within 90 days. We read 7-day signals for early movement and matched 90-day periods for direction, so you see what's moving long before a year is up.

Can I list my home address on my Google Business Profile?

+
If customers don't come to you, hide it. Google's guidelines say a service-area business should hide its address. Google's own example is a plumber working from home who clears the address from the profile. You get one service-area profile, and its area shouldn't extend farther than about 2 hours of driving time from your base. We set the area to match the places you work.

Can an agency promise first place on Google?

+
Google alone decides its rankings, so we sell the work and the record of what it did. Local Search is the one exception, with this promise: "Recommended by ChatGPT and #1 on Google Maps in 90 days. Or you get a full refund." Targets are agreed before we start, and no other package carries it.

What do I own if we stop working together?

+
Everything. The website, its repository, the content and your data belong to you from the first day. Your Search Console and GA4 stay yours too, so if you leave, the pages stay live and the history stays with you.

How long is the contract?

+
Terms run monthly, for six months or for 12 months, and you settle which on the first call. One way in is the AI SEO Audit: five business days, credited to the build or first month if you go ahead within 14 days.

What happens on the first call?

+
Thirty minutes with the people who'd do the work, and no salesperson. Share your Search Console and rankings and we'll read them with you on the call. If something other than search is holding you back, we'll say that and skip the proposal.
