RiftDigital, Margaret River (2026)

I am here to carve out a new path, a 'rift' in the digital world ,where small businesses can thrive. In a world where digital marketing feels like an exclusive club for big brands, Rift Digital is the gate crasher. We re not here to play by the old rules. We re here to carve out a new path, a rift in the digital landscape, where small businesses can thrive. We understand the frustration of feeling

left behind, of being told you need a massive budget to succeed online. That s why we re committed to breaking down those barriers, offering accessible, innovative solutions that empower you to compete in the digital landscape. We re not just providing services; we re creating a movement, a shift, a rift that redefines what s possible for small businesses in the digital age.

Scams Awareness Week tells your customers to look you up themselves.

The national campaign runs 24 to 28 August. Its instruction to consumers is to check who they're dealing with using contact details they find themselves, not the ones in the email in front of them.

So go and be what they find. Open a browser you're not signed into, search your business name and your town, and read the first screen like a stranger would: is there a phone number, is it yours, and does the top result belong to you or to a directory you've never updated?

Australians lost $166 million to redirection scams last year, where a scammer impersonates a business and swaps the bank details on an invoice. A customer who can find your real number has somewhere to check.

Getting your own site onto that first screen is part of what I do: https://www.riftdigital.com.au/website-design

The first category on your Google listing is the one that counts.

Google decides local results on relevance, distance and popularity, and your category is how it works out what you do. Add several and the one in the first field becomes your primary. The rest are backup.

Ten minutes on your phone: search the phrase a customer would type, so "electrician busselton" rather than your business name. Tap the top three map results and read the grey line under each name, because that is the category they sit in. Then search your own business, open Edit profile, and read your first field.

If the three winning that search sit in a category you've listed fourth, or haven't listed at all, move it to the top field and save. Working out the phrase your customers type, then making your listing match it, is part of what I do for clients.

"SEO takes a year before you see anything."

Ranking first for a competitive search does take months, and a promise otherwise is a sales line. One piece of it is quicker, because you write it yourself.

Google your business name and your town, then read the grey line under your link. That's the sentence deciding whether they click you or the next result, and you can tell at a glance whether you wrote it or Google scraped it.

If it's a fragment, open that page's settings in your website editor and write one sentence about what's on the page and who it's for. Google sometimes writes its own from what you've put there.

On the sites I take on, I rewrite the descriptions on pages that already rank. That's where a small change shows soonest.

The pages that already rank, watched monthly: https://www.riftdigital.com.au/seo-services

Google started a spam update this week.

Google logged it on 18 August. It goes after bought links, mass-produced pages, hidden text and hacked content.

If you've never done any of that, you're fine. Plenty of owners have had it done to them by an agency they paid to "do SEO", and never knew.

Type site:yourbusiness.com.au into Google and read every result, since a page you don't recognise is either a hack or a doorway page someone built on the domain you're paying for. Then open Search Console and look at Security Issues and Manual Actions.

One client's page held first place for a key search a month before I audited it. By the time I looked it had slid to sixth, and nobody had told her.

Catching a page as it slides is part of the monthly work I do for clients. I flag it before it costs enquiries.

I could sell you a $30 AI website, my own platform generates them. So before forming an opinion, I tested it properly, along with the $80 a month "AI does your SEO" tools everyone is advertising.
𝗡𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆. 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲.
The AI websites all have the same problems: words that could belong to any business, no pages for the areas you actually serve, and nothing behind the scenes telling Google or ChatGPT what you do. And the cheap "done for you" AI site offers hide the real costs in the fine print. The writing costs extra. Changes cost extra. Some even register YOUR domain in THEIR name.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂: 𝗳𝗶𝘅𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗜-𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵.
I wrote up the whole test, including 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗘𝗢 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄, from $30 builders to $4,000-a-month agencies. 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄.👇
And if you're curious about what ChatGPT says about your business today, ask me for a free AI visibility snapshot. The report is yours to keep.
