Success stories

Challenge

Clarity Financial, one of Canberra’s leading mortgage brokers, was ranking on page 2 of Google for “Mortgage Broker Canberra” - the most competitive keyword in their market. The lack of first-page visibility limited their ability to attract new clients, despite their strong reputation and client-first approach.

Solution

We designed a comprehensive digital marketing strategy combining SEO, Meta Ads, and consulting services. Website content and structure were optimised to improve search rankings, while targeted campaigns captured high-intent leads. We also redesigned their website to enhance user experience and engagement, reinforcing credibility and trust.

Result

Within 2 months, Clarity Financial reached page 1 for their main keyword. After 6 months, they ranked 3rd, and by month 13, they secured the #1 position. This drove a +274% increase in organic traffic, 29 keywords on page 1, and $143K in annual organic traffic value — cementing their position as Canberra’s top mortgage broker.

Challenge

Benchmark, Australia’s largest independent business brokerage, needed to strengthen their online visibility and scale organic search traffic. Despite their strong national presence and reputation, they faced intense competition for high-value industry keywords and required a sustainable digital strategy to maintain their leadership position.

Solution

We conducted a deep SEO and Google Ads audit, identifying 16 priority and 84 secondary keywords. Our strategy included niche content creation, keyword-focused landing pages, and technical website optimisations to improve rankings and drive traffic.

Result

Benchmark achieved #1 ranking positions for several highly competitive keywords and secured 235 keywords on page 1. Their organic search traffic grew by an extraordinary +941%, equating to $55.6K in annual organic traffic value. These results cemented Benchmark’s position as Australia’s largest privately-owned business brokerage and a clear industry leader.

Challenge

Lux Air, a trusted provider of air conditioning and electrical services in Brisbane, had a Share of Local Voice of less than 2%. Despite their quality service and reputation, they lacked online visibility and community engagement to attract new business.

Solution

We developed a targeted local SEO strategy, including on-site optimisation, high-quality locally relevant content, and keyword-focused landing pages. The aim was to boost Lux Air’s visibility in search results and strengthen engagement within their community.

Result

Within 4 months, Lux Air’s Share of Local Voice skyrocketed from under 2% to 74%. Their organic search traffic grew by 300%, and monthly leads increased by 483%. These results positioned Lux Air as the #1 air conditioner installation business in Brisbane’s Bayside area.

I’ve been working with Sam and Kristen from Social Direct for around a year, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. They’ve taken the time to really understand my business. They have helped to strengthen my online presence in a way that feels authentic and aligned with my goals. Their support, ideas, and responsiveness have made managing my social media so much easier, freeing up my time to focus on other areas.

We recently had our new website built by Social Direct and couldn’t be happier with the result. The process was smooth, the team was easy to deal with, and the finished site looks professional and works perfectly. Highly recommend their services.

The team at Social Direct have truly exceeded my expectations. I’m a mortgage broker building my business from the ground up, and I needed support with the full marketing setup: Website, SEO, Social Media, and a solid plan to move forward with. They delivered on all fronts. The strategy session gave me clarity and direction, and I walked away feeling confident and motivated. Every question I’ve had along the way has been answered, and the support has been great. I now have a clean, professional digital presence and a clear roadmap to follow. I’d recommend them to any mortgage broker or small business wanting to get serious about their marketing

Engaging with Sam & Kristen from Social Direct has been a game-changer for my wedding videography business. In just one month of collaboration, the impact they've had is truly remarkable. Sam went above and beyond to help me get more customers and leads. It's only been a couple of months, but the confidence I have in their abilities is immense. I am excited about the future and the continued growth of our business with their support. For anyone looking to boost their online presence and set up their google ads, I highly recommend Social Direct.

Kristen from Social Direct has been a great help to me. She knows her stuff and what she is talking about. Kristen is very professional, responsive, attentive and informative. She clearly outlined for me what I needed to do, and once we agreed, she and her team just went about it, no fuss. I have enjoyed working with her and thoroughly recommend her.
