SEO Consultant Perth: Advice by the Hour

An SEO consultant reads your website, your Google Search Console data and the search results you compete in, then tells you what is holding the site back and what to fix first. At Perth Digital Edge, that consultant is Ben Tippett.

It costs $150 an hour plus GST, with no lock in contracts and no minimum term, and the same plan can run as an SEO campaign from $2,000 a month.

Who you’ll be talking to

Ben Tippett founded Perth Digital Edge in Wanneroo in 2016 and takes the consulting work himself, so the person who reads your data is the person who answers your questions. Every engagement starts from what Google has recorded about your site, and success is measured in enquiries.

In his words: “Most of the time the answer is already in your Search Console. My job is to find it and explain it plainly.”

Perth businesses get a personal approach, not an account manager, and his expertise sits beside a team that carries out the strategies he writes.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Ben was incredibly helpful when I reached out to him for some website design support.  He really went above and beyond to support me with my queries even though I was not yet a paying client. His knowledge of web design made everything much easier to understand.  I highly recommend Perth Digital Edge to anyone looking for professional and reliable web design services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Ben did an awesome job with Sell My Car Pro. He took care of everything from the website development and SEO through to the graphic design, branding and logo. He was easy to work with, kept things simple, and we started getting results before we had even spent anything on ads. Really happy with how it all turned out and would definitely recommend him.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We engaged Ben from Perth Digital Edge to help us sort out our Google Ads, Analytics, Tag Manager setup and to provide training so we could manage campaigns ourselves with confidence.

Ben was fantastic to work with. He took the time to understand our business and goals, untangled our existing setup, and gave us clear, practical guidance every step of the way. What really stood out was his transparency. He worked on an hourly rate, stuck to his word on budget and timelines, and delivered exactly what he committed to.

He is incredibly knowledgeable, but also down to earth and easy to work with. No jargon, no fluff, just honest advice, smart solutions and a genuine interest in helping us succeed.

We are already seeing improvements and feel much more confident managing our own campaigns. Highly recommend Ben if you're after someone reliable, responsive and great at what he does.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Perth Digital Edge were wonderful in dealing with me the entire process from web design to seo optimisation  and Digital Marketing customized for my purposes. I couldn't have asked for someone who cares more about their work and always strives for perfection. I was always given the pros and cons of any decisions ahead of time, as well as what the expected timeframe for results would be. Thank you so much to Ben for all his hard work. I won't trust anyone else with my web design or seo needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  My website/s were desperate need of a refresh after several years of neglect. Inception Video is in a competitive marketspace and we service two very different market spaces so the website had the added difficulty of needing to service and speak to two very different clients. I approached Ben from Perth Digital Edge to design me a new website that has a vibrant visual appeal (as I work in a visual market) and strong SEO functionality to assist with my digital marketing. I'm thrilled with the results from the team at Perth Digital Edge and the design of my new website. It ticks all the boxes. I'm also very impressed with the time Ben took to understand my needs, how flexible he was in adjusting the pages to accommodate my two marketplaces and the training he gave me in moving from Wix to Wordpress so that I can now continue to evolve my website.

Three reasons people book an SEO consultant

Most people who book an hour arrive with one of three questions, and effective SEO starts with the right one.

A plan your team can follow

For the marketing manager asked why a competitor ranks higher: extensive keyword research, a page map with the primary keywords for each page, and a check of the on page work before it goes live, so implementing SEO follows one SEO strategy.

Page map Work review

SEO training for your team

A second opinion

For the owner whose report promises more traffic while the phone stays quiet: a plain read of the proposal or account, and which SEO tactics buy online visibility rather than activity.

Proposals Retainers

Behind the scenes for agencies

For the agency with a client asking for SEO and nobody senior to answer: Ben works alongside your team on your clients’ sites, by the hour.

What a consulting session can cover

Sessions start from Google’s own data, plus Ahrefs for links, pulled before we meet. Pick a topic.

SEO audit Search Console and GA4

Technical SEO audit Crawl and Core Web Vitals

Keyword research Keyword Planner

Link building and backlinks Ahrefs

Search Console and GA4

Every query your pages appear for and which visits became enquiries and sales, to identify what can affect your search rankings and which pages turn visitors into calls.

A page ranking for searches it was never written for, while the right page sits further back.

How Perth searches for an SEO consultant

Perth searches for the person, not the service. All six Google searches show a map pack, two show an AI overview too, and Ahrefs puts most clicks at about US$12.

Open and closed

Three of the six are rated 0, so there are more opportunities for a well built page; the “expert” searches sit in the high 40s and usually need links too.

The map comes first

Every one shows a map pack, so local SEO counts: a Business Profile naming the service, and reviews that mention it, matter as much as the page.

Where the figures come from

Ahrefs estimates, labelled and dated, because anyone can check them. Your plan uses Google’s own figures, from Search Console and Keyword Planner.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an SEO consultant cost in Perth?

Published rates we found on 4 October 2026 ran from $70 an hour plus GST to $220 an hour including GST. Ours is $150 an hour plus GST, with no minimum term, and campaigns run from $2,000 a month.

How do I choose an SEO consultant?

Ask them to open Google Search Console with you, name a client you can call and show a dated result. A proven track record looks like that, not like a claim to be the best SEO company in Perth, and anyone who promises the first page of Google by a date is guessing.

Can you review a proposal from another agency?

Yes, often. We read the proposal or monthly report against your own data, then tell you what is worth paying for, what is padding and what to ask before you sign.

Do you work behind the scenes for agencies?

Yes. Web and marketing agencies book Ben by the hour to work on their clients’ sites or to train their team, and the agency stays the client’s point of contact.

Can we meet in person?

Site visits are arranged when the work warrants it. Most sessions run online with your Search Console and GA4 data on screen, which is where the answers usually are.

What do I get at the end of a session?

A clear understanding of what to fix first, in order, and who should do it, with the data behind each point. A written page map or audit is scoped and quoted before we start.

Can you train my team?

Yes. SEO training runs at the same $150 an hour plus GST, on your own site rather than a demo, for owners, marketing staff and agency teams.

How is an SEO consultant different from an SEO agency?

A consultant diagnoses and advises; an SEO agency also carries out the SEO services every month. We do both, so the plan you buy by the hour is one our own team could run.

Should I hire an SEO consultant or run Google Ads?

Both have a place. Google Ads buys visibility today and stops when the budget does; search engine optimisation takes four months to a year by Google’s own guidance, then keeps sending organic traffic without a bill on each click.

Can you work on my platform?

We work inside WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify, and advise on Wix and other site builders. The platform changes how a fix is made, rarely what needs fixing.
