Real numbers or no numbers.

You will notice our case studies quote figures like 450%, 42% and 580%. Every one comes from the client’s own analytics, is checked with the client, and stays on the case study page where anyone can read it in context.

If we cannot verify a result, we do not use it. We would rather say nothing than round up. It is a simple rule and it is one of the reasons clients stay.

Hosting is not maintenance, and the difference matters most on the day something breaks.

Hosting keeps the server on. Maintenance is the schedule of duties behind it: patching, updates, backups you have actually tested by restoring them, monitoring, and a named person who answers first when the website goes down.

Managed hosting means different things at every provider. Ask yours to define it in verbs, not adjectives. We have written up the questions worth asking:

Four w**e brands, four separate websites, and stock levels that drifted because nothing was syncing. Customers held different memberships on each store and ordering rules, like a minimum of six bottles, had to be enforced without getting in the way.

We built one WooCommerce multisite core running all four brand websites. Stock and product data are managed in one place and updated instantly everywhere, and a live countdown shows shoppers how far they are from the six bottle minimum before checkout.

Two years on: overall traffic up 51%, eCommerce conversion rate up 440%, revenue up 580%.

The company we keep.

Emote Digital is a certified partner on the platforms we build and market on: Google, Meta, Microsoft Advertising, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, WP Engine, Amazon Ads and Salesforce.

Partner status matters for two reasons. The work is done by people who are trained and assessed on the platform, and when something goes wrong we have a direct line to the people who can fix it.

Ten platforms. One accountable team in Melbourne.

Is your website showing up in AI answers? There is now a way to start checking.

Google reports impressions from AI Overviews and AI Mode in Search Console for some properties. Four things to know before you read it: it counts impressions, not answers. No report does not mean zero visibility. Date every definition, because the reports change. And add the layers that matter, like landing page behaviour and what turned into customers.

We have written a practical guide: https://www.emotedigital.com.au/digital-agency-blog/measure-ai-search-visibility/

Case study: Bakers Delight.

A national bakery brand needs a website that does several jobs at once: help a customer find their local bakery on a phone, show what is fresh, and make the recipe and dietary content easy to explore.

We built a modular WordPress website that lets the marketing team assemble pages themselves, with a recipe library, dietary filters and a mobile-first bakery search.

Since launch: website traffic up 42%, mobile traffic up 32%, bounce rate down 18%.

Ask Emote has been live on our website for a month.

Ask it anything about how we work. It answers from what we have actually built and published, and it shows you where the answer came from. This month people have been asking things like which eCommerce platforms we build on, how our Discovery process works and what generative engine optimisation means for a website.

A speed score is not the point. The cost of a slow website shows up in three places you already measure.

Lost sales, when shoppers leave a slow product page before it finishes loading. Wasted advertising, because every paid click that lands on a slow page costs the same as one that converts. Weaker search performance, because Core Web Vitals are measured on real visits.

We have written up how to turn Core Web Vitals into business priorities:

Case study: Milone’s Tree Solutions.

Milone’s is a Melbourne arborist. The business was excellent. The website was not, and it was quietly costing them enquiries.

We rebuilt it on WordPress with a mobile-first layout, clear service pages and a structure built around how people search for tree removal and pruning.

Since launch: website traffic up 450%, leads up 245%, bounce rate down 34%.

In their words. Kelly from Daily Orders:

“A brilliant digital agency to work with. I have been very impressed by their communication, knowledge and confidence in getting excellent results. It has certainly eased the stress of social media advertising.”

Thank you Kelly. Daily Orders makes the reusable whiteboard planners you have probably seen on a fridge somewhere, and we run their paid social. If advertising feels stressful rather than predictable, that is usually fixable:
