About Us

The team behind $15M+ in client revenue generated with AI SEO.

Our Story

Rankmax was founded to solve a problem we saw everywhere: established businesses investing heavily in content and SEO, yet struggling to connect that work to actual revenue growth.

While competitors chased vanity metrics like rankings and traffic, we built an agency around a different question: how do we help businesses get found where their customers are actually searching?

That led us to pioneer AI SEO strategies that work across Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews before most agencies even understood the shift happening.

Today, we've generated over $15 million in attributed revenue for our clients through AI SEO, helping them dominate both traditional and AI search platforms. We're not here to manage your SEO - we're here to own the outcomes while you focus on running your business.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Rankmax different from other SEO agencies?

We specialise in AI SEO, optimising for both traditional search engines and AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews. While other agencies are still figuring out AI search, our clients are already earning AI citations and capturing customers from these emerging channels. We've generated over $15 million in attributed revenue for our clients through AI SEO strategies. We also offer completely done-for-you services from strategy through execution and publishing, saving you countless hours of content reviews and revisions. Most importantly, we focus on outcomes over activity, delivering measurable business growth that compounds over time.

How do you measure SEO success?

Success looks different for every business, which is why we start by understanding your specific goals and KPIs. Whether you're focused on revenue growth, lead generation, brand visibility, market share, or customer acquisition costs, we build our measurement and reporting framework around your definition of success. We track the metrics that matter to your business: organic traffic value, conversion rates, customer acquisition from organic channels, AI search visibility, and any other indicators that align with your objectives. Every client receives detailed reporting that connects SEO activities directly to the outcomes you care about, not generic vanity metrics.

How long does it take to see results from SEO?

You should expect to see initial improvements within 3-6 months, with compounding growth continuing long-term. Quick wins like technical fixes can show results sooner, but sustainable organic growth requires time to build authority. Our clients typically see measurable revenue impact by month 6. We provide milestone tracking updates every month so you can see progress at every stage, not just the final outcome.

Do you guarantee rankings or results?

No legitimate SEO agency can guarantee specific rankings, and we won't make false promises. However, we do guarantee our strategic approach, proven processes, and relentless focus on your business goals. Our case studies demonstrate consistent results across industries: a property management company generated $5.9M in revenue with 6,864% average ROI over 17 months, a compensation claims business achieved $7.7M in revenue at 13,926% ROI within 11 months, and an eCommerce meal delivery brand grew revenue by $968K with 75% year-over-year growth and 2,327% ROI. We set realistic expectations with milestone-based roadmaps and deliver transparent reporting so you always know where you stand.

What's included in your SEO services?

We handle everything: comprehensive SEO strategy, keyword research and competitive analysis, done-for-you content creation (researched, written, optimised, and published), technical SEO optimisation, AI search optimisation, basic image creation, link building through value creation, performance tracking and reporting, and ongoing strategy refinement. You don't manage freelance writers, approve endless content drafts, or coordinate between multiple vendors. We deliver a complete, integrated solution so  you can focus on running your business.
