On-demand SEO execution for Australian businesses and agencies. Technical fixes, on-page improvements, and performance analysis. Purchased by the hour. No monthly contract.

Hour blocks from AUD $500. No monthly commitment. Written task summaries included with every session.
Pay Only for What You Use
No retainer. No minimum commitment.
What Hourly Support Covers
Hourly blocks cover executable SEO tasks that can be scoped, completed, and delivered with a written summary. The four main areas are technical fixes, on-page optimisation, content improvements, and performance analysis.
Technical SEO Fixes
Crawl blocks, broken canonicals, missing schema, and redirect chains are often the fastest wins on any site. Each task is clearly scoped before work begins, completed within the allocated hours, and verified on delivery.
- Resolve robots.txt and noindex blocks
- Fix canonical tag conflicts and self-referencing errors
- Correct or implement structured data markup
- Clean up redirect chains and 404 errors
On-Page Optimisation
Weak title tags, missing meta descriptions, broken heading structure, and poor internal linking affect how pages are ranked. Tasks are handled at the page or page-group level and documented against Search Console data.
- Rewrite title tags and meta descriptions to target intent
- Correct heading hierarchy across key landing pages
- Strengthen internal linking between related content
- Optimise image file names, sizes, and alt text
Content and Structure
Pages that lack topical focus or clear structure tend to rank inconsistently. Hourly support covers targeted improvements to existing content without requiring a full content strategy engagement.
- Restructure page content to better match search intent
- Update and expand outdated or thin existing pages
- Add internal links between related content clusters
- Improve readability, flow, and topical coverage
Reporting and Analysis
Analysis is only useful when it leads to action. Hourly reporting covers a structured review of Search Console and Analytics data, with a written summary and prioritised next steps on delivery.
- Search Console performance review with written findings
- Identify and diagnose recent traffic or ranking drops
- Review keyword position changes and CTR patterns
- Document priority opportunities and recommended actions
When Hourly SEO Makes Sense
A retainer makes sense when SEO needs to run continuously: regular content, link building, long-term strategy. Hourly support makes sense when the need is specific. A defined list of fixes, a set of pages to improve, or a one-off analysis. The difference is scope, not quality.
No Monthly Commitment
Each block is a standalone purchase with no recurring charges and no minimum term. Buy when you need to. Stop when you do not. No lock-in contracts.
Task-First Approach
Every hour goes to defined tasks. Nothing is billed to calls or internal admin. Tasks are logged before work starts and summarised on completion. No time is unaccounted for.
Flexible Scheduling
Work is handled asynchronously. Submit tasks by email or chat. No check-in calls, no set hours. Everything is documented in writing from start to finish.
Written Summaries on Every Task
Every completed task includes a written summary covering what was changed and why. Screenshots included where relevant. Easy to hand off to another team member or agency.

How It Works
The process is straightforward by design. No kick-off calls, no onboarding forms, no account setup delays. Purchase a block, submit your tasks, and work begins.
Purchase Hours
Choose the block size that fits your current scope. Hours are available immediately on purchase. No onboarding call required. Not sure which block to pick? Get in touch first.
Define Tasks
Submit tasks by email or chat. Each task is logged with a description and time estimate before work begins. If a task looks likely to exceed the estimate, you will be notified before any extra time is used.
Work and Track
Time is recorded per task. Work is completed within agreed turnaround windows, typically two to three business days. A written summary with screenshots is delivered on completion of each task.
Review and Top Up
Review completed work at any point. When hours run low, purchase a new block with no obligation. Clients with a steady task volume often move to the 20-hour block for the better per-hour rate.
What to Know Before Purchasing
Hours are pre-purchased and applied to defined tasks. There is no automatic renewal, no rolling contract, and no time billed to calls or scoping discussions.
Hours Are Pre-Purchased
All blocks are purchased before work begins. Time is tracked per task and reported in the written summary after each session. No surprise charges. Nothing runs over without prior agreement.
No Ongoing Commitment
This is not a retainer. Each block is a standalone purchase. No automatic renewals, no rolling contracts, no obligation to buy again when hours run out.
Task-Based, Not Meeting-Based
Time goes to tasks, not calls. All communication runs through email or chat so every instruction and decision is documented. Nothing is agreed verbally and forgotten.
Validity Period Applies
Each block has a fixed validity window from the date of purchase: 30 days for the 5-hour block, 60 days for the 10-hour block, 90 days for the 20-hour block. Unused hours expire at the end of the window and are not refunded or carried forward.
Who Uses Hourly SEO Support
Hourly blocks are used by three main groups: in-house marketing teams, agencies managing client SEO, and businesses with variable or seasonal needs. What they share is a preference for paying for execution rather than a retainer.
Internal Marketing Teams
In-house teams often hit a ceiling on technical SEO execution. Crawl issues, schema problems, and site structure fixes require specialist knowledge that most marketers do not have time to develop. Hourly support fills that gap without the cost of a full-time hire.
Agencies and Consultants
Agencies sometimes need extra execution capacity for technical overflow, specialist tasks outside their team's core skills, or busy periods. Hourly blocks run alongside any existing client engagement with no minimum commitment required.
Businesses with Variable Needs
Not every site needs continuous SEO work. Some businesses only need attention at specific points: fixing a flagged audit issue, preparing for a product launch, or diagnosing a ranking drop. Hourly support is built for exactly that.
