About
Optimising is a Melbourne search agency founded in 2008 by James Richardson and Daniel Zuccon, based in Richmond. It describes itself as focused on SEO alone. Its named services cover ongoing SEO campaigns, technical audits, site migrations, local SEO, Shopify and ecommerce SEO, digital PR, and an AI search offer split into AI visibility audits, GEO campaigns and monthly AI visibility reporting across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Mode. LinkedIn lists 11 to 50 staff.
The record is strongest on case studies. Its work pages name large Australian clients and give results: Chemist Warehouse (organic traffic up 75% year on year through a commercetools migration), Nando's, Jim's Mowing, Cake Decorating Central and Dental Boutique, though a few figures have no stated timeframe. The agency has been a Certified B Corporation since 2021 according to the B Corp directory. James Richardson's bio on the agency site describes close to two decades in SEO and press commentary in Australian marketing trade media.
Several things are missing for a buyer comparing options. No Clutch, G2 or verified Google review figures were found. Award entries on its site are finalist listings without years, and they were not confirmed against the award organizers. No retainer pricing is published; the only prices on the site are a $5,000 to $20,000+ range for one-off AI visibility audits, so the budget bands here are an estimate from that range.
