Client Testimonials

Telstra Media Group

Telstra Media Group

AMIRE has been providing Telstra Media with SEO Services since the beginning of October 2013 and whilst still relatively new they have provided exceptional service and insight for the business thus far.

Telstra Media replaced our previous SEO agency (whom we had worked with for over 6 years) with AMIRE, which I believe is a clear indication of their SEO expertise and experience. Telstra Media is looking forward to a strong relationship with AMIRE and have no hesitation in recommending them to any company considering their services.

AAMI

AAMI

I have known Sean and Amye from the days when ‘search’ was in its infancy in Australia. At the time my team and I were intent on establishing the online business for AAMI. We recognised early on how important search would be to help position AAMI on customer shopping lists for their insurance needs and as a cost effective marketing tool. Seam and Amye continue to impress me with the depth and breadth of knowledge they have with the search industry.  Their technical knowledge is extensive and that helps remove the guesswork and makes decisions easier and more precise.

They listened and understood the AAMI business and what the key business drivers were. This helped us design and develop websites that balanced optimal search requirements with user experience and customer centric design.

It was principally through Sean and Amye’s knowledge and results driven attitude that positioned AAMI in a prominent position for all of AAMI’s key terms, a position it has held for many years.

Amye consulted on Suncorp Commercial Insurance for a number of years in optimising our business for search. In that period, Suncorp’s dominance in search helped the business receive an unprecedented number of lead opportunities, driving further investment and support of the online channel.

Amye’s professionalism and attention to detail served us well. Amye was always free and willing to assist with any queries we had about the complexities of SEO as well as providing us with up-to-the-minute news on trends and changes in search. We were always well prepared to stay ahead of the game.
