The rules of digital visibility are changing fast. Traditional SEO alone no longer cuts it. With AI-powered search features like Google’s Gemini and AI Overviews becoming more prominent, businesses in Australia need websites that aren’t just search-friendly—they need to be AI-ready.Â
The digital search landscape is undergoing a seismic shift. Traditional search engine optimisation (SEO) strategies—still essential—are now sharing the stage with a new player: Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO). This evolution, fuelled by AI tools like Google’s AI Overviews and Gemini, is changing how businesses appear (or disappear) in search results.
As Google continues to fine-tune its algorithms in 2025, web developers and SEO professionals alike are under increasing pressure to deliver fast, accessible, and well-structured websites. If your site isn’t ticking the right boxes from a performance and technical website health perspective, chances are you’re already falling behind.Â
If you’ve noticed some volatility in your search rankings over the past few months, you’re not alone. The March 2024 Core Update has caused a stir across the SEO world—and for good reason. This Google algorithm update doesn’t just tweak a few knobs; it significantly redefines how content quality and site integrity are evaluated.
A well-designed, fast, and locally optimised website isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential for small businesses in Perth. With over 34 million mobile connections active in Australia, equating to 128% of the population, and iOS holding a 55.14% market share in the country, your customers are browsing on their phones more than ever. If your site isn’t mobile-friendly and lightning-fast, you’re likely losing potential leads to competitors who are.Â
Local SEO is more important than ever for Western Australian businesses, particularly those in Perth. With the state’s geographic isolation, unique local search habits, and a population that relies heavily on mobile devices, businesses must focus on local SEO to remain visible and competitive. This guide will show you exactly what works for local SEO in Perth right now.Â
