Hear Why I’m The Best Gold Coast SEO Consultant To Help Your Business Grow
"I have dealt with Ryan to create a whole website for my business to make it really easy for people to shop all my amazing platters... His expertise and knowledge in SEO and web design is absolutely amazing. He has just helped me grow my business immensely. I've had so many more leads coming through, and I would highly recommend Ryan to anybody needing help in this department. He is top tier, he knows what he's doing, and he really listens to what you want as well in that design..."
Tahlia MacDonald
Owner, Tropical Grazing
"I met Ryan through Digital Surfer. They're a company that we engage for our Digital SEO... Two years ago, before Ryan started, a lot of our calls were I tripped on a footpath and I've hurt myself. Whereas nowadays, the inquiries are solid Workers comp claims, they're medical negligence claims, they're larger claims, they're better quality claims. And we've got Ryan to thank for that...
He's a great young guy. I'm sure you'll get to know that if you speak with him. And I couldn't recommend him enough in this space..."
Lachlan Main
Principle Lawyer, Main Lawyers
"Ryan stepped up to share his SEO expertise with one of my student groups... He provided them with a detailed overview of SEO best practices... I was really impressed with his "how to" slides with annotations so the students could navigate the SEO reporting output.
During his talk, Ryan described optimizing through content, meta data, and internal linking structure and then got deeper into technical SEO, off-page SEO, and as a bonus, YouTube SEO... He is a true professional and I appreciate his willingness to share his knowledge with our students!"
Daniele Mathras
Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education, North Eastern University
"I have seen Ryan push himself to become an award-winning digital marketing leader. When a friend in the U.S. sought an expert speaker for an event, I recommended Ryan over any of my American alumni in the same field because he is the best.
I already consider Ryan to be an emerging leader in his field of digital marketing locally and he is on a trajectory to become a global technology leader who will help Australia thrive and give back in this sector."
Dr Scott Cowley
Associate Professor & Program Director for Digital Marketing & eCommerce, Western Michigan University
"Ryan is my mentor, and he has been phenomenal in helping me kickstart my career as a young professional. Through the meetings I’ve had with him, we have ranged from internship processes to analysing internships for digital marketing professionals, SEO specialists, what that looks like… after a couple of weeks, I was able to secure an internship, which I’m so thankful for Ryan’s help.
I couldn’t have done it without him. Anything that I have a question about, I know I can go to Ryan and he will have the answer."

HOW TO FIX YOUR
Common SEO Frustrations on the Gold Coast
“I’m ranking locally, but not beyond the Gold Coast”
Local SEO is essential, but your business shouldn’t be confined to just one city. My strategic approach combines powerful local targeting with broader optimisation, helping you expand your online visibility well beyond the Gold Coast. I can deliver results that attract customers from major & regional cities and even internationally. Wherever your target market is looking for you.
“SEO is too slow… I need results yesterday”
You’ve probably heard SEO takes time, and while that’s true, it shouldn’t take forever. With a detailed strategy that targets the right search intent, fixing technical SEO issues, and optimising your website content, you’ll see measurable results faster. Most of my Gold Coast clients start seeing noticeable positive improvements within a few short months. (However results yesterday just isn’t going to happen.)
“I’ve tried SEO, but it didn’t convert into sales”
Great rankings mean nothing if your visitors don’t turn into customers. That’s why my SEO marketing Gold Coast approach doesn’t just focus on rankings, it’s centred on conversion. By using a blend of on-page & off-page SEO, conversion rate optimisation, and content that speaks directly to your customers’ pain points, your visitors become loyal, paying customers.
“I’ve been burnt before, why are you going to be different?”
Great question… when it comes to SEO, I don’t just speak it. I live and breath it. From my agency experience for one of Australia’s top digital marketing agencies, to my portfolio of websites built and managed in my spare time, everything I do is to improve my skills and knowledge to help businesses like yours succeed online.

SEO Frequently Asked Questions
What Is an SEO Consultant?
An SEO Consultant is a specialist in the field of Search Engine Optimisation who you partner with to help increase your websites visibility and drive targeted traffic from search engines like Google & Bing. SEO consulting allows you to get access to tailored strategies that support your unique business goals, ensuring long-term success in today’s competitive online market.
What does an SEO consultant do?
An SEO Consultant is a professional who optimises websites and web pages for search engines and users. SEO stands for search engine optimisation, which is the process of improving the visibility, relevance, and usability of online content in search engines like Google.
As an SEO specialist, I look at everything from your website’s technical health and content strategy to how you’re showing up locally and whether your site is optimised to convert that traffic into leads.
In short: I make sure your online presence is built to grow your business, not just sit there.
Why Do You Need An Organic SEO Consultant?
You may need an organic SEO consultant if you want expert help to improve your website’s rankings and visibility on search engines without paying for ads. Organic SEO refers to the natural or unpaid methods of optimising websites and web pages for search engines and users.
An organic SEO consultant can ultimately help you achieve higher rankings, gain more traffic, more conversions, more sales, and more revenue from your website.
Who Is The Best SEO Expert In Australia?
Ryan Chilton is one of Australia’s best SEO consultants with a range of experience working with businesses from all industries. Ryan’s formal education in Digital Marketing and his award-winning work experience makes him a highly sought-after SEO expert in Australia.
What makes your SEO approach different from other consultants or agencies?
I’m not here to sell you fluff or confuse you with jargon. My approach is results-driven and transparent. I combine technical know-how with a user-focused strategy so we’re not just chasing rankings, we’re building digital experiences that actually convert. Plus, you’re not being passed off to someone with little experience, you’ll be working directly with me.
Is SEO really worth the investment?
Absolutely, if it’s done right. Unlike paid ads that stop delivering the second you turn them off, SEO continues to drive traffic and leads over the long term. It compounds. I’ve helped clients double their traffic and enquiries without spending a cent on paid ads, just by implementing a proper strategy that actually aligns with what people are searching for.
Can you guarantee I’ll rank #1 on Google?
No, and any SEO consultant who says they can is selling you snake oil. Google’s algorithm is constantly evolving and there are hundreds of factors that influence rankings.
What I can promise is proven strategies, consistent progress, and full transparency along the way. My one guarantee is that if the campaign isn’t seeing the results you’re happy with, I’ll pivot and adapt your strategy until we strike a winning formula.
How long does SEO take to show results?
This is probably the question I get asked the most and the honest answer is the usual SEO response, it depends.
SEO is a long-term strategy, not a quick fix. Most clients start seeing early quick wins within 4 to 6 weeks, with stronger results from the 3-month mark onwards. But real growth, like ranking on page one for competitive terms can often takes 3 to 6 months or more.
Depending on your industry, competitors, and how much existing SEO work has been done will determine if there are some quick wins which can be achieved with content updates, small technical fixes or other factors.
