We are not a marketing agency. We help business owners work out which one actually fits, and we do it for free. 5 Perth agencies below, researched from who genuinely ranks and gets reviewed for this work.
Better Agencies is free for business owners. We are paid a referral fee by an agency only if you choose to be introduced and you go on to work with them, and that fee is the same regardless of which agency you pick — so it cannot change the order of this list. Nobody on this page has paid for placement, and no agency sees your enquiry unless you ask us to make an introduction.
Information on this page is compiled from public sources and may not be fully accurate or up to date — agency offerings, pricing and availability change. Always confirm details directly with an agency before making a decision.

What makes a good SEO agency
Most agency roundups rank on revenue, headcount, or how much the agency paid to appear. None of that tells you whether the work will suit your business. A good SEO agency is one whose shape matches your problem — a small local specialist and a large multi-office team can both be the right pick, and choosing the wrong one costs you a year.
How we pick
01
Real presence, not a placement fee
We start from who genuinely ranks and gets reviewed for this work in this market, not who paid to be on a list.
02
What their own site actually says
We read the services, specialisms and case studies each agency publishes themselves, rather than taking a pitch at face value.
03
Fit over size
A nine-person specialist and a forty-person team can both be the right answer. We flag who each agency actually suits.
04
What is missing
No pricing on the site, no case studies, no clear specialism — we say so, rather than papering over the gaps.
What you should consider
01
Your stage, not your size
A business with nothing running yet needs foundations shipped. A business already getting results needs someone who can find the next percentage point. These are different agencies.
02
Local vs national fit
If your customers are in one city, a local specialist with local runs on the board usually beats a national generalist. If you sell everywhere, the reverse is often true.
03
How much of your own time this needs
Some engagements need your input weekly, others run mostly hands-off. Ask what they need from your side before you sign.
04
What happens after month twelve
Ask what the account looks like a year in and who owns the assets. If the answer is vague, that is the answer.
