    Search is expanding

    AI SEO Isn’t an Add-On

    Search behaviour is changing. Optimising only for traditional blue-link rankings is no longer enough. SearchMinistry incorporates AI SEO, Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) into its broader SEO methodology.

    Campaigns consider Google Search, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT and other AI-powered search and recommendation experiences. Explore our AI SEO approach and ChatGPT SEO work.

    We don't charge an additional monthly fee simply to call your campaign “AI SEO”. AI Search optimisation is integrated into how we approach modern SEO.

    Free Website Redesign for Eligible SEO Clients

    For eligible non-e-commerce websites, we offer a FREE website redesign when you start an SEO campaign with SearchMinistry.

    A website’s design, layout, information architecture, page templates and technical structure influence how effectively SEO and AI Search strategies are implemented. Businesses often invest in SEO while their existing website structure limits what can change, slows implementation or makes it harder to create the pages, content relationships and user experiences required for organic growth. For eligible non-e-commerce SEO clients, SearchMinistry can redesign the website as part of the engagement so the website and search strategy work together from the beginning.

    This is an SEO implementation advantage: SearchMinistry does not only recommend important changes, it builds the website foundation required to implement them effectively.

    Eligibility comes first

    Free website redesign is available to eligible non-e-commerce businesses that engage SearchMinistry for an ongoing SEO campaign. Eligibility and scope are assessed before the campaign begins.

    Eligibility, redesign scope, SEO campaign requirements and ongoing website management requirements apply.

    Better Website → Better SEO Foundation → Better AI Search Foundation → Greater Growth Opportunity

    Scope follows the work

    What Determines Your SEO Price?

    SEO pricing is not determined simply by the number of keywords. Website needs, competitive pressure and the commercial opportunity define the campaign workload.

    We scope campaigns according to what is realistically required to compete, rather than forcing every business into exactly the same SEO package.

    01

    Competition

    More competitive search markets usually require greater resources and authority development.

    02

    Website size

    A 20-page service website has different requirements from an e-commerce site with thousands of URLs.

    03

    Search opportunity

    The number and commercial value of relevant topics, categories and search journeys shape campaign scope.

    04

    Technical complexity

    Platform, JavaScript rendering, internationalisation, migrations and faceted navigation affect workload.

    05

    Locations & markets

    Campaigns targeting multiple cities, states or countries need a broader search strategy.

    06

    Content & authority requirements

    A website's existing strength influences the level of content development, optimisation and authority building required.
