Earned Media is an AI SEO agency built for the search landscape that exists today, and where it's going.

We work with category leaders and ambitious SMEs across Australia and globally, fusing traditional Google dominance with AI-first visibility. Your brand ranks in blue links and shows up inside the answers ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Copilot generate for your buyers' most important questions.

What we do We run six core disciplines under one roof: Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), SEO, Digital PR & Citation Engineering, Content Marketing, Link Building, and Technical SEO. Every engagement is powered by EMintel, our proprietary AI intelligence platform that synthesises Ahrefs, Semrush, Google Search Console, and live LLM probe data into a single decision-making layer.

EMintel & Negative Space EMintel continuously crawls ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews to track where your brand is mentioned, cited, or missing entirely. When it detects a gap, a query your competitors are winning in AI-generated answers, it flags it as Negative Space and generates a citation-optimised content brief to close it. Built in-house, trained on three years of Earned Media client engagements.

Who we work with Our roster spans enterprise SaaS, finance, infrastructure, education, and retail, including Salesforce, Rippling, Macquarie Data Centres, Charles Sturt University, Camplify, and Fresha. The people you meet in the pitch are the people doing the work: 20+ senior specialists across SEO, GEO, content, links, and tech.

Success stories

Challenge

Goal 1: Increase top 3 position rankings for commercial intent keywords that drive traffic to the /services/ section of the website. Goal 2: Achieve revenue target of $300,000 in new development projects won from organic leads outside of Newcastle in the 12-month period

Solution

We focused on obtaining rankings quickly via content marketing by targeting commercial, evergreen queries with highly optimised content and an aggressive off-site SEO strategy to increase topical authority of the site for ‘web’ related queries.

Result

Goal 1 Result: 260% increase in keywords ranking in position 1 - 3 the total number of keywords in position 1 - 3 increased from 3.1% to 8%. Goal 2 Result: This goal was exceeded by 56%. Sales hit just over $469k in web project revenue won since Aug 2022 from organic search outside of Newcastle.

Challenge

Now in year 4 of our journey, we have gathered many learnings and recognised the impact SEO has had on our early success. Organic is our biggest traffic driver and highest converting channel. In addition to our always-on SEO work with Earned Media, we wanted to engage Nick and his team on a project to identify areas for improvement that would hopefully result in a notable organic growth spike. Within this time, we also agreed to 'double down' on offsite link-building to improve our DR by EOY.

Solution

This 6-month project was broken into key milestones, delivered by Earned Media. This included in-depth keyword research, a full site architecture review, delivery of insights and actionable recommendations, and reviews after actions were taken to assess their impact. Additionally ongoing high quality link building was built to pages across the site to increase DR.

Result

Since implementing these SEO improvements, we have clearly seen a spike in organic traffic as well as DR improvements (we exceeded our goal of achieving a DR of 33-35 by EOY, hitting 40 in December). We are also now seeing Gathar index for 105,000 additional searches per month (over 500 new queries) since these SEO recommendations were actioned.

Challenge

Our organic growth was stagnant over previous years. We needed an agency that could implement fast, work alongside our team & see incremental improvements in a twelve month period.

Solution

Implemented EEAT audits and updates to existing content to drive non-branded search growth. Identify new content opportunities and brief content to exceed competitors through in depth SERP audits. Drive authoritative growth through high quality link building.

Result

288% increase in organic traffic in twelve months. 84% growth in overall share of voice across relevant commercial organic terms. Website authority increased by 20% through offsite link building putting the client in the top 0.4% of websites in the world for authority.
