Aperitif exists out of the desire to help Australian businesses grow sustainably. Our team have experience working with top-tier brands like Airwallex, Frank Body, Ford Australia, BP and Bupa just to name a few!

Aperitif’s mantra is to provide a service that will have the biggest impact, that will be the most valuable long-term, for the least amount of resources.

Through custom-designed SEO and SEM strategies, we strive to help you grow traffic, leads and sales with return on investment as the driving force.

Our founder, Joe Romeo, has been working as an SEO consultant for over 10 years, spending time in both agency land and working in-house for brands such as Airwallex and Whispir. 

Experiencing both worlds has enabled him to hone his craft to bring the best and latest optimisation techniques to businesses across Australia and the UK. 

Joe loves working with business owners, marketing managers and in-house SEO teams to drive further growth from organic acquisition channels and to help your business scale to the top spot and stay there.

We don’t want to be the biggest — but we work hard to be the best. We’re people who’ve worked hard to grow brands in-house through SEO and know what it takes to deliver results the biggest stakeholders care about. Your point of contact will always be the person working on your campaign. We choose to keep our team small so you can be sure they’re dedicated to you, your business and your success.

Success stories

Challenge

Having never done any form of digital marketing before, they wanted to reach new audiences in the early childhood learning space that didn’t necessarily know that their products existed. PSE had an extensive catalogue of over 1,100 products yet majority of sales came from a select group of products.

Solution

we recommended an SEO campaign focusing on long-tail, product-specific searches. Using the product collection pages as the heroes of the campaign, we revamped the on-page copy to use language that PSE’s audience was familiar with, while optimising the site’s architecture to better rank.

Result

43% Increase in organic users (individuals) year over year 79% Increase in organic revenue year over year, with 7 figure growth through organic alone. They have recently had to expand their warehousing and have brought on a 3PL provider to assist with the new average monthly orders.

Challenge

For Harness Projects, the cost per lead was unsustainable across Google Ads and Meta Ads, making it difficult to unlock the next level of growth when acquisition costs remained so high.

Solution

We revised account structures in Google Ads. We expanded audience signals in Performance Max, We extended targeting to include life events, website retargeting, YouTube viewers, and competitor targeting. We also added more creative variations to PMAX to increase coverage.

Result

64.8% more leads from Google Ads compared to the previous 8 months. 56% drop in cost per lead compared to previous period. 2x Faster filling of enrolments

Challenge

Dancing Kangaroo Tours operates in a saturated market, making it difficult to grow sustainably due to rising acquisition costs on performance marketing channels like Google Ads and Meta Ads. The industry is traditionally dominated by established players who have significantly larger marketing budgets eating up search market share. As a small business, it became difficult to compete.

Solution

We were able to compete with these larger players on a level playing field where budget didn’t come into play as significantly as it does in paid media. Leveraging social proof and Google’s E-E-A-T guidelines (experience, expertise, authoritativeness and trustworthiness) – we were able to highlight the client’s deep domain expertise and understanding of The Yarra Valley, leaning into what makes Dancing Kangaroo Tours different from the competition.

Result

43% increase in Increase in organic inbound enquiries for tours year over year 62% reduction in cost per lead year over year 64% increase in organic traffic year over year

Joe and the team are not only experts in their field, they are a delight to work with and diligent too. We engaged Joes team on a WooCommerce to Shopify site migration to ensure our SEO work was considered. We had some serious time constraints and they were able to work with our team to deliver the project on time, above our expectations and without losing any traffic. They also stayed in regular contact with the team and made themselves available way beyond normal business hours to ensure everything went without a hiccup. We are now sitting down to discuss further support and can’t recommend them highly enough.

Aperitif Digital is a top-notch agency, especially when it comes to SEO. They really know their stuff and have helped boost our online presence significantly. Their strategies are effective and up-to-date with the latest industry trends. Joe, in particular, is a standout. He's not just knowledgeable, but also a genuinely good bloke. Always easy to work with, he explains complex SEO concepts in a way that's easy to understand. Joe goes the extra mile to ensure we're happy with the results. Working with Aperitif Digital has been a great experience. They deliver solid results and maintain clear communication throughout the process. If you're looking for an SEO agency that combines expertise with a personal touch, I'd definitely recommend giving them a shot.

Joe is a true professional. He and the Aperitif Agency team are fantastic to deal with, and provide a high level of expertise in all things SEO / marketing. We are a law firm and started to see quality new leads come in the door almost immediately. I couldn't recommend them more.

Joe and team are absolute legends, Not only did they help me grow Seo ranking for my business they educated me along the way - something I had very little knowledge about. Their monthly reporting and insights helped me pivot on words as well as change some of my business products to better suit the market demand. Highly recommended

Joe, Belle and Tanja are such an incredible team. Always easy to reach out to and quick to respond. Thank you for not only helping us with our Google Ads but also teaching us so much along the way. From one family business to another, we couldn't be more grateful!
