Our Story

We started REVD because
we were angry.

Not the dramatic kind. More the “paid $3,000 a month for six months, saw nothing, got vague reports full of buzzwords” kind. We figured someone should just do the work properly.

The Origin

What happened in 2009

Back then, SEO was the wild west. Stuff keywords in your footer. Buy a thousand links from a directory no-one visited. Put invisible white text on white backgrounds.

We built REVD on the assumption that Google would eventually figure out all of that — and reward the businesses that did things properly instead. Turns out we were right, though “eventually” took a few painful updates for a lot of people.

Fifteen years later, we’re still here. A lot of those other agencies aren’t. That’s not luck — it’s because we were building things that lasted instead of chasing shortcuts.

09

REVD founded — Brisbane

Started with one client and a very strong opinion that SEO agencies could be better. Spoiler: most of them still can’t.

12

Survived Google Penguin & Panda

While other agencies scrambled to explain why their clients’ rankings disappeared, ours held. White-hat from day one pays off.

16

London office opened

UK clients were asking for local representation. Made sense. Different market, same principles.

24

500+ businesses ranked

Still going. Still month-to-month. Still answering emails the same day. Some things shouldn’t change.

The REVD Way

What working with us actually looks like

We’ve run enough client engagements to know what works and what wastes everyone’s time. This is how we do it.

1

Free audit — no strings

We look at your site, your rankings, your competition. Within 24 hours we tell you what we found. If there’s nothing we can meaningfully help with, we’ll say that too.

2

Straight-talking proposal

We tell you what we’ll do, what it costs, and roughly how long it’ll take. One document. No hidden deliverables you find out about later.

3

Month-to-month engagement

We start work. You get a named contact — someone who actually does the work, not a separate account manager who relays messages.

4

Monthly reporting (readable ones)

Traffic, rankings, what we did, what’s next. Written for someone running a business — not someone studying for an SEO exam.

5

You can leave anytime

No penalties, no “minimum notice period” clauses buried in page 8 of a contract. If we’re not delivering, you should be able to walk. We’d rather fix the problem.

What We Believe

The stuff we won’t compromise on

Transparency isn’t optional

You should know what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what it costs. No mystery deliverables. No jargon designed to confuse you into thinking we’re doing more than we are.

Speed matters

We’re in a competitive industry. When rankings drop, every day costs money. Same-day email responses aren’t a bonus feature — they’re how we work. Full stop.

Long-term thinking

Shortcuts work until they don’t. We’ve watched competitors’ tactics implode on them repeatedly. We build things that survive algorithm updates because they’re built correctly from the start.

Honest Assessment

We’re not the right fit for everyone

And we’d rather tell you that upfront than sign you up and disappoint you later.

Probably not for you if…

You need page one results in 30 days
Your budget is under $1,000/month
You want someone to just agree with everything you say
You’re looking for guaranteed rankings

Great fit if you…

Want sustained growth, not a quick spike
Value honesty over optimism
Can invest at least 6 months in the process
Want to talk to the people doing the actual work

Still think we might be a good fit?

Let’s find out. Send us your website, we’ll look at it, and we’ll give you an honest answer within 24 hours.
