Achieve Top Rankings with the Best SEO Agency in Melbourne

Competitor research is more than just understanding what your competitors are doing - it’s appreciating how they are doing it. SEO competitor research involves researching the website structure of your competition and determining how they are utilising links, content and keywords to achieve a higher SERP (Search Engine Results Page) ranking. This analysis provides us with an industry benchmark that we can build upon when crafting an SEO plan specifically for your business.

A site audit is the process of identifying technical errors and limitations that are impacting your website’s ranking. This audit will reveal various insights into your site’s health including:

• Your website user experience for both desktop and mobile interfaces
• Whether your website has been properly crawled, rendered and indexed by Google (or other search engines)
• The current state of on-page and off-page SEO
• Determining whether your website’s performance is being impeded by duplicate or thin content

Site audits will also involve the setting up of systems to track ongoing website performance. Down the track, the real-time data we collect from these systems will help us refine your SEO project.

From current industry trends to common issues affecting your target audience, keyword research offers guidance into not only your SEO efforts but also your broader marketing strategy.

Rocket’s SEO specialists have access to leading technologies that provide real, quantifiable data for SEO in Australia. Using this data, we extract high-performing keywords that can either be slotted into your existing website or provide the backbone for the creation of future content that will target your audience’s search intents.

You wouldn’t read a boring article filled with spelling mistakes, so why would your audience?

SEO copywriting is the practice of transforming the data and insights collected from the previous stages into tangible, useful content. Copywriting can take various forms including blog posts, web pages and white papers (i.e. eBooks, guides and other downloadable articles). It’s important to invest in high quality copywriting as your website’s content is what will ultimately reel your audience in and encourage them to further explore your website.

At Rocket, our team of copywriters create diverse and engaging content that provides the substance your audience is looking for.

Link building remains one of the most powerful ways to improve your website’s authority and search engine rankings. At its core, it’s the process of acquiring high-quality backlinks - links from other reputable websites that point back to your own. These backlinks signal to Google that your content is trustworthy and valuable, helping boost visibility in search results and speeding up the indexing of new pages.

At Rocket, we go beyond the basics of link acquisition. Our approach includes strategic outreach to relevant publishers and content creators, securing placements that provide real value - not just SEO points. We also focus on brand mentions and digital PR -  earning your business coverage on high-authority platforms, news sites, blogs, and industry publications. These kinds of mentions not only support your backlink profile, but also build brand awareness and drive referral traffic from trusted sources. Our link building strategies are purpose-driven and fully integrated into your broader SEO and content goals, ensuring every link helps grow both your rankings and your reputation.

This is the part of SEO that handles the behind-the-scenes foundations of your website - the nuts and bolts that users rarely see but search engines rely on. While on-page strategies focus on content and keywords, our technical services ensure your site is fast, crawlable, and structured for search engine visibility. From page speed and XML sitemaps to domain configuration, URL structure, breadcrumb navigation, and optimised code like HTML, JavaScript and CSS - these critical elements all contribute to how well your site performs in organic search.

Because these components are highly specialised, they require more than just basic SEO knowledge. At Rocket, our experienced team takes a strategic approach to your site’s infrastructure - making precise, performance-driven enhancements that help search engines properly index and render your pages. It’s not just about ticking boxes; it’s about creating a solid, search-friendly foundation that elevates every other part of your digital marketing.

If your ideal customers are searching in your city or suburb—not in rural Iceland or a small town in Brazil—then your online presence needs to reflect that. With nearly half of all Google searches tied to location, showing up for geographically relevant queries can make or break your visibility in local markets.

We help businesses reach nearby customers by optimising for location-specific intent. This includes managing your Google Business Profile, refining your on-site content to reflect service areas, and building high-quality local backlinks. Whether someone’s searching “near me” or looking for a provider in their suburb, we make sure your business is front and centre when it matters most.

SEO is a long-term strategy, and while some improvements may be noticeable within weeks, substantial results typically take 3-6 months. The timeline depends on factors such as your industry's competitiveness, your website's current state, and the specific strategies implemented. Rocket provides regular updates to ensure you see the progress at every stage.
