What “on-page SEO” means here
Page titles, meta descriptions, headings, body copy and internal links written around the searches your customers type, such as “bathroom renovations morphett vale”, with one clear target per page so your pages don’t compete with each other.
What “technical SEO fixes” means
Pages Google can’t index, redirects after a redesign, slow templates, missing or broken structured data, duplicate pages. We’re a web agency, so these are fixed in your site, whether it is WordPress, Shopify, Wix or custom.
What “Business Profile management” means
The listing that decides the map pack: categories, every service, service areas, photos, reviews answered, and (on Growth and above) a post every fortnight. Never bought reviews or incentives, which break Google’s rules.
How reporting works
Once a month you get a branded report built from your own Search Console data: the searches you appear for, average positions, clicks, what we did and what’s next. Your client portal holds every report, invoice and document, and takes support requests.
Not included, and where it lives
- Google Ads beyond the included budget. The Local plan includes no ad spend; Growth and Serious include 30% of the plan fee as Google Ads budget, spent in your own Ads account (or as extra SEO work if you don’t want ads). Bigger or separate Ads campaigns are run through JB Digital Barossa, with that ad spend billed by Google.
- A new website. If the audit shows the site itself is the problem, JB Digital Barossa builds websites from $449, and we say so up front.
- Website hosting and upkeep. That is a JB Digital Barossa care plan ($40, $70 or $95 a month). These SEO plans sit on top of it, or on any site, whoever built it.
- Guarantees. Nobody controls Google. We show what has happened for named businesses and report your numbers the same way.
Response time: enquiries and audit requests are answered within one business day. Plans are month to month with no setup fee; stop whenever you like.
Which plan?
A quick way to choose.
Local, $349 a month
One location or one service area, a site that is basically sound, and competitors who aren’t investing heavily. Most trades in a single region start here. May Paving’s Gawler searches are a good example of the territory.
Growth, $599 a month
You compete across Adelaide, need new service or area pages written, or the audit found technical problems to fix. Think of the Iron Works case study: many ways of phrasing the same search, many areas, built out page by page. Growth also puts 30% of the fee, about $180 a month, into ads in your own Google Ads account, or into extra SEO work if you’d rather not run ads.
Serious, $1,099 a month
Crowded categories, several locations, or an online store with a big catalogue, where you need ongoing content, real authority building and a monthly strategy call. Serious puts 30% of the fee, about $330 a month, into ads in your own Google Ads account, or into extra SEO work if you’d rather not run ads.
Not sure? The free audit ends with a recommendation. If the honest answer is that you don’t need a monthly plan yet, we’ll say so.
How we compare
Cheaper than the Adelaide market, with more included.
On 5 October 2026 we checked the published SEO prices of 14 agencies that sell SEO in Adelaide, either based here or with an Adelaide page. Another 6 we checked publish no price at all.
| Comparable plan | Adelaide median | Published range | Ours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry (lowest published plan, 14 agencies) | $1,350 | $399 – $2,000 | $349 Local |
| Middle tier (7 agencies with two or more plans) | $1,800 | $699 – $3,000 | $599 Growth |
| Top tier (4 agencies with three or more plans) | $2,540 | $2,100 – $4,000 | $1,099 Serious |
Monthly prices as published on each agency’s own website on 5 Oct 2026. Some quote prices plus GST and some don’t say; we haven’t adjusted for that. We don’t name agencies here because their prices change; the dataset with sources is kept on file.
What’s often extra elsewhere, and included here
- Google Business Profile management. We saw it sold as an add-on at $395 a month per location, and as a $750 one-off charge. It’s in every one of our plans.
- AI search (GEO and AEO) work. Several agencies now include it, but some keep it for their top tier only. Our structured data, AI-crawler access and llms.txt groundwork is in every plan.
- Contracts. Most Adelaide agencies are month to month now, but we also saw a three-month minimum. We have no minimum term and no setup fee.
- Fixes, not just advice. We’re a web agency, so on-page and technical fixes are made in your site by our own team.
- Reporting you can read. A branded monthly report from your own Search Console data, plus a client portal login for billing, documents and support requests.
To see what the work looks like in practice, every case study on our results page shows the searches, the dates and what we did.

Questions
Pricing, answered.
Is there a minimum term?
No. Every plan is month to month. SEO takes a few months to show results, so we suggest giving it at least three, but you can stop whenever you like.
What does SEO cost elsewhere in Adelaide?
On 5 October 2026 we checked 14 agencies that sell SEO in Adelaide and publish a price. Their lowest plans ranged from $399 to $2,000 a month, with a median of $1,350. Middle tiers had a median of $1,800 and top tiers $2,540. Our plans are $349, $599 and $1,099. More in our Adelaide SEO pricing guide.
How is this different from a JB Digital Barossa care plan?
JB Digital Barossa’s care plans ($40, $70 or $95 a month) keep a website we built healthy: hosting, security, backups, enquiry emails, small updates and, on the higher plans, upkeep-level SEO tune-ups. These Adelaide SEO plans are full campaigns (SEO, GEO and AEO): new pages written each month, technical work, competitor tracking, authority building and strategy, for any website, whoever built it. Website clients can add a campaign on top of their care plan.
Do the plans include Google Ads?
Growth and Serious do. 30% of the plan fee (about $180 a month on Growth, about $330 on Serious) goes into Google Ads, so you can show up in the paid results while the SEO builds. It comes out of the plan price, not on top of it. The ad budget is spent in your own Google Ads account, so you own the account and the data. Setting up and running the campaign is included. The Local plan doesn’t include ad spend. The money is paid to Google for clicks, and nobody can promise what a given ad budget will bring in.
What if I don’t want Google Ads?
No problem. The same 30% goes into extra SEO work instead: more local content pages and blog posts, more directory listings and backlinks, and more Google Business Profile posts. Same price, no lock-in.
Is there a setup fee?
No. The free audit is the starting point, and the first month’s work starts straight after it.
Do you do one-off SEO work?
Yes. After the free audit we can quote a fixed price to fix what it finds, for businesses that want the foundations sorted without a monthly plan.
What if I need a new website?
Websites are built by our parent agency, JB Digital Barossa, with plans from $449. See website pricing.
