Digital marketing that gets you found — and chosen.
When your suburb searches for what you do, Word of Mouth makes sure it finds you: reviews, your Google Business Profile, local SEO, Google Ads and a website built to win work. Published prices, plain-English reporting, and no lock-in. We’d rather earn next month than sign you into it.
Everything a local business needs to get found
Each one stands on its own. Together they compound: the reviews feed the profile, the profile feeds the rankings, the rankings feed the site.
Our promises, in writing
Every line below is lifted straight from our service pages. It’s the standard each report has to live up to.
01No lock-in on SEO or Ads
Month to month. Stay because it works.
Pause or stop whenever you like; the report has to earn the next month. Websites run a 12-month minimum from launch, because there is no build fee to pay up front.
02Prices published, not quoted
Local SEO From $399/month + GST, no lock-in
. Websites $99/month + GST, hosting included
. Google Ads is a published $850 setup, then $350 a month or 15% of spend, dropping as a share as your budget grows. Every number is on the page, not saved for the call.
03You own your accounts
The Google Ads account is yours. You keep it if you leave.
Same for your Google profile, your website and your reviews.
04Reporting you can read
A monthly report in plain English: where you rank, how it moved, what we did, what’s next.
No jargon walls.
Why our pricing is different
Fair thing to ask. It isn’t a discount and we haven’t cut the work down — our costs are genuinely lower, in four specific places.
We didn’t have to go find you
Winning a new client normally costs money — ads, cold calls, a salesperson on commission — and that cost ends up inside the fee. We don’t carry it: Word of Mouth is already the directory Australians use to look up local businesses, and that’s where we meet the businesses we work with. Not having to find you is the single biggest reason we charge less.
AI drafts it, you approve it
Where software does a job well, we let it. AI writes the improvements to your Google Business Profile and drafts your replies to reviews — then it stops, and nothing goes live until you’ve read it and said yes. We also check each month whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity name your business. That’s work nobody has to bill you hours for.
Where it needs a person, it gets a person
The rest doesn’t automate well, so we don’t pretend it does. Your listings around the web are opened, checked and fixed one at a time by someone on our team, because hand-checked is how details actually end up matching everywhere. Your ad copy, suburb pages and monthly report are written by a person who has looked at your account.
Published prices, no lock-in, all of it yours
What we charge is on the website, so you don’t have to sit through a sales call to find out. There’s no contract to sign, and everything we set up is in your name: your Google profile, your Google Ads account, your website, your reviews. If we stop earning the fee, you leave and take the lot with you.
The searches are happening either way
The only question is who they find. A few numbers worth knowing — sources included, always.
