Overview

Birds Eye Media, a creative agency specialising in drone videography and immersive VR/360 content, partnered with PWD to expand their visibility beyond Perth and capture market share across Australia.

With demand growing rapidly in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, they needed to rank for competitive location-based keywords while ensuring technical SEO foundations were strong enough to scale.

Challenge

When PWD onboarded Birds Eye Media, the website faced multiple hurdles:

  • Inconsistent keyword visibility outside of Western Australia
  • Missed opportunities in local SEO for high-value cities like Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane
  • Site health issues such as broken backlinks, under-optimised service pages, and slow load speeds
  • Campaigns needing ongoing optimisation to balance budget allocation and maximise ROI

To achieve national coverage, a complete SEO strategy was required that combined technical fixes, content expansion, and campaign optimisation.
