Search is evolving fast. Traditional SEO alone no longer cuts it in a world where algorithms learn, adapt, and prioritise user intent in real time. That’s where next-gen SEO and a forward-thinking digital marketing strategy come in.

Search Engine Optimisation, or SEO, is the process of refining your website so it ranks higher on Google’s search results. It is a strategic approach that brings together key elements like targeted keyword planning, high-quality content, authoritative links, and seamless site performance.
Every day, billions of searches are made on Google, and somewhere in that sea of results, your ideal customer is looking for what you offer. As Melbourne’s trusted SEO company, we craft tailored strategies that put your business front and centre, driving traffic that converts into real growth.

Elephant in the Boardroom crafts smart, tailored strategies for on-page and off-page SEO that sharpen your website’s structure and strengthen its online reputation. Every tactic we use is carefully chosen to give your brand the edge it needs to stand out and rise in the rankings.
We build strong, credible backlinks that boost your site’s authority and visibility, earned through tailored outreach, guest articles, and strategic partnerships. At the same time, our deep-dive competitor analysis uncovers exactly where your rivals rank and how you can overtake them.
Keywords bridge your customers’ queries to your website content, so choosing the right ones is important. As a leading SEO expert in Melbourne, we deploy advanced tools to uncover high-impact keywords based on competition, search volume, and relevance.
At the heart of every successful SEO strategy is content that speaks directly to your audience.

Frequently asked questions
SEO, or Search Engine Optimisation, is the secret weapon that rockets your website’s visibility on Google and other search engines. It is about making your site irresistible to both search engines and the humans behind the screens by optimising keywords, content, and site structure. Elephant in the Boardroom builds SEO strategies that align with your business goals.
Consistent refreshment is key. We always recommend regular updates, at least every few months, to keep your content relevant, fresh and aligned with changing search trends and user needs. Google loves new, engaging, problem-solving content, and so do your visitors. Plus, updating content helps you jump on emerging keywords and adapt to shifting algorithms.
SEO is a long-term game, not an overnight fix. While some improvements, like technical fixes or on-page tweaks, can show results in weeks, it usually takes 3–6 months to see significant movement in rankings and traffic. At Elephant in the Boardroom, we set clear milestones, track progress, and keep you in the loop so you can see the return on your investment grow over time.
AEO is all about structuring your content in a way that answers questions directly, helping your brand get featured in AI-driven answer boxes and voice search results. GEO focuses on optimising your content so it gets cited by generative AI tools like Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Gemini. Businesses that adopt AEO and GEO strategies early are more likely to be discovered, trusted and recommended by both search engines and AI. Staying future-ready in this space is what we do best at Elephant in the Boardroom.
Traditional SEO focuses on ranking higher in search results. Generative SEO is about making your brand discoverable, quotable, and recommendable in AI-driven platforms. Instead of just targeting keywords, we optimise for answers, context, and entities. This means your brand can show up when AI tools generate responses, giving you visibility even when users don’t click a link.
Absolutely, and that’s one of our specialties. At Elephant in the Boardroom, we build powerful local SEO strategies that help your business show up in map listings, local packs, and “near me” searches. Whether you are a Melbourne café or a Brisbane tradie, we help you outrank competitors in your own backyard.
AI‑generated content can rank if it is edited, fact‑checked, tailored to user intent, and infused with real expertise or experience. Google rewards content that demonstrates E‑E‑A‑T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness).
We rely on a mix of industry‑leading tools: Google Analytics 4, PageSpeed Insights, Search Console for analytics and site health; SpyFu for competitor insight; Google Trends and AnswerThePublic for fresh keyword discovery; plus Yoast SEO, SERP snippet optimisers and comprehensive dashboards like Cyfe for monitoring performance. All wielded with a future‑focused strategy and human intelligence.
Search algorithms, competitors, and user behaviours are constantly evolving. Ongoing SEO ensures your website keeps up with these changes, maintains rankings, and continues to generate new leads.
We don’t just optimise websites, we partner with businesses to unlock their digital potential. Our SEO strategies are built on deep research, smart execution, and measurable results. From local shops to national brands, our clients trust us to deliver growth that sticks.

We engaged Elephant in the Boardroom to design and develop a new landing page, then website for our company Wealth Evolution Financial Planning. The website was built quickly, to specifications and it exceeded our expectations. Elephant made themselves available throughout the build 24/7 and made the process simple. We are ecstatic with the results. We have recommended Elephant to many of our clients and will continue to do so.

Candace has been brilliant to work with in reinventing a tired looking haphazardly assembled website into a dynamic and exciting platform that showcases our business. She understands the market and helped focus a vision towards walking a narrow bandwidth of crazy yet serious ideas that were presented to her. We also worked with Jack, a talented programmer with enough skill to recode the Matrix. Diana also assisted in converting an invoicing-client-list into a compilation sorted by catagories, a job outside of this company's scope- yet they happily obliged.

Candace & Jack made the whole process of updating our company website incredibly easy. They're prompt to respond to all enquiries, amendment & meeting requests. Took the time to explain &/or clarify when required. And are extremely competitive with the costing of their services. We interviewed several developers before ultimately choosing Elephant in the Boardroom to help us revamp our website. We're so pleased with the results and our decision. We would absolutely recommend their services to anyone looking refresh, or build from scratch, their website. Thank you Candace & Jack! From the PROVE team:)

Absolute professional service! First point of contact was via phone call from Candace to gather all information for my dream website for my business. Professional, attentive, insightful. Then once the ball got rolling - total inclusion via email for all aspects of the site. Colour scheme- overall vision- font- product placement. I felt really listened too and understood. Thank you Jack and Candace for such professional service. Highly recommend.
