What our clients say
We started with a single-page website that ranked for nothing but our brand name while our competitors dominated the organic search space and made us look less comprehensive by comparison. Within 11 months, the Rankmax team grew our site to over 100 high-quality pages and increased our keyword rankings from 15 to over 1,100. We now hold 425 page one positions and have overtaken all of our competitors to claim the number one organic search position in our market. We've also secured 54 Google AI Overview citations, with ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot appearances gaining momentum.
Tom, Co-Founder and Director, Veterans First Consulting
I was blown away by the accuracy and attention to detail from Rankmax. As someone with over 25 years in the industry, I was initially sceptical if the Rankmax team could fully reflect my experience in the content they produced for my website, but they were spot on. James and his team demonstrated an immense understanding of both the technical details and strategic implications for my business. I couldn't have done better myself.
Kevin, Founder and CEO, dataSights
James brings deep expertise in AI and SEO. He provided rich, on-point insights that helped me optimise my website for better conversion. His advice helped translate the technical outputs into something far easier to understand and act on. I especially appreciated the structured format of the feedback: clear executive summaries, quick wins and deeper technical detail when needed.
Christopher, Founder and CEO, Crouching Tiger Network
Very cool to be able to first hand reap the benefits of what Rankmax is doing in the space of SEO and AI. The results so far have been beyond any we've seen with an agency before. 10/10 recommend.

Is the technical SEO audit free?
Yes, it is free. You request it, and the Rankmax team prepares it once your request is approved.
What does a technical SEO consultant do for your site?
Your campaign can include a full technical audit with a fix list ranked by revenue impact, site architecture and Core Web Vitals fixes, custom schema markup, work that readies your pages for AI search, and monthly reporting tied to your revenue. That is the starting point. The scope is built around your goals and objectives.
Which technical SEO consultant should you hire?
Look for a consultant who ranks every fix by its revenue impact, works with your developers until each change is live, and publishes client results you can check. Before you commit, ask to see how your own site performs in search today.
How much does a technical SEO consultant cost?
Your price depends on the size of your site, how much technical debt it carries, and the scope of the work, and strategy is included in it. For a view of where your site stands today, request the free technical SEO audit.
Is a technical SEO consultant worth it?
It is worth it when technical problems are holding back pages that should be earning enquiries or sales. Each monthly report sets the work against your revenue and ROI, so you can judge it on your own numbers.
Is technical SEO still worth it now that AI tools answer buyers' questions?
Buyers still search Google as well as asking AI tools, so the technical work on your pages supports your Google rankings and your readiness to be selected or recommended, from the same fixes.
How long does the full technical audit take?
The full technical audit typically takes five to ten business days, depending on the size and complexity of your site, and you receive a written audit with prioritised recommendations for your developers.
Is technical SEO a one-off fix or ongoing?
It is both. The first audit and fix phase typically takes one to three months, depending on your backlog. Monthly monitoring then catches new issues as your site, your CMS, and your content change.
Do you need a technical SEO consultant if you already have a developer?
Your developer builds and maintains your site, while a technical SEO consultant finds which parts of that build are holding back your search visibility. Your developer then gets a prioritised fix list, with the revenue reason for each change.
Can you do technical SEO in-house?
You can. Doing it well takes months, often years, of trial and error. Rankmax is led by James Banks, who has worked in SEO since 2007, and the team works on AI search every day. The question is whether you have that kind of expertise in-house, and whether you can afford to wait for it.
Does Rankmax work with businesses outside Australia?
Yes. Rankmax is an Australian AI SEO agency headquartered in Melbourne. We're 100% remote and work with businesses in Australia and around the world. When you sell into more than one country, your campaign covers the market and language setup for each one.
