How is working with you different from a large SEO agency?
+
With a large agency you typically brief an account manager who briefs a strategist who briefs a junior to do the work. With Move Up SEO, you deal directly with Grant. The most experienced person on the project, at every stage. The strategy, the audit, the implementation briefs, the reporting: all of it comes from someone with 25+ years of hands-on SEO experience at brands like Telstra and Freelancer.com.
Do you require lock-in contracts?
+
No. Monthly retainers are available on a month-to-month basis with 30 days notice. For project-based work like audits and strategy engagements, we agree scope and deliverables upfront. I prefer earning continued engagement through results rather than contract terms.
How quickly will I see results from SEO?
+
It depends on what we’re fixing. Technical fixes like crawlability errors and robots.txt issues can show results within 2–4 weeks as Google re-crawls. Title tag and meta description optimisation improves CTR within weeks. Content and authority building compounds over 3–12 months. I always identify quick wins that deliver early signals alongside longer-horizon strategic work.
Do you work with businesses outside Brisbane?
+
Yes. The majority of my work is delivered remotely. I work with clients across Australia and internationally. All audits, reports, strategy sessions, and implementation briefs are delivered digitally. For Brisbane-based clients, in-person meetings are also available.
What industries do you specialise in?
+
My experience spans eCommerce (Vuly Play - $2.87M organic revenue across 8 markets), SaaS and B2B platforms (Freelancer.com, Freelancer\.com), enterprise telco (Telstra, 8 years, $250K search budget), media, financial services, health and wellness, and consumer brands. I am comfortable with both large complex sites and growing SMBs.
What does a typical engagement look like?
+
Most engagements start with a comprehensive SEO audit (technical, content, and authority), followed by a prioritised strategy roadmap. From there, options include ongoing monthly retainers for implementation support and reporting, project-based work for specific initiatives (site migrations, international expansion, AI search readiness), or ad-hoc consulting and team training.
