About Us

When you work with us, I’m directly involved in your strategy and accountable for it.

Abrar Patel
Founder & Director

Founder-led. On purpose.

Hi, I’m Abrar.

I started A.P. Web Solutions in 2015, building websites and doing SEO in between working night shifts. More than a decade later, the principle hasn’t changed: specialise, do excellent work, and stay close to every client.

Judge us on results.

50+ case studies · 10+ industry awards · 85+ Google reviews

We have been working with Abrar and AP Web Solutions for around 18 months now on our SEO and Google Ads. Since commencing with the team we've seen fantastic organic growth in terms of site visitors. Best of all we are seeing MoM growth in the leads we are generating and converting to sales. I would recommend Abrar and the team for other service based businesses looking to improve their SEO, grow their reach and get quality guidance, advice and support.

01 Chantelle Doulis, Marketing Manager - Entourage Finance

Every experience with AP has been really positive. We have experienced greatly improved results in our SEO and an increase in leads in our SEM since commencing with A.P Web Solutions late last year which has definitely helped to build our pipeline and increase sales. Our account manager is attentive and responsive and has added significant value to our business. Our regular monthly meetings ensures we remain on track by tweaking the approach as our segment focus changes. You will get outstanding value by choosing A.P. Web solutions

02 Pete Reinke, CEO - RAMP Holdings

AP Web Solutions were great for us. We had some below par experiences with SEO agencies prior to finding them and they really impressed us. The team laid out a plan, implemented and we got great results soon after. Highly recommend!

03 Mathew McGovern, Director - Beam Health

AP Web Solutions are what I would describe as a A class marketing agency. Our business have employed their services for SEO, Google Ad Words and Bing PPC and our results continue to scale at remarkable rates. Their response to changing strategies has been wonderful and working with the team has been a wonderful experience. They're extrmely friendly, yet are complete professionals who remain at the top of their field and keep up to changing strategies. 100% recommend this agency to anyone needing a digital agency.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions about our Digital Marketing Agency Services

 

What digital marketing services do you offer?

We’re a full-service digital agency in Melbourne specialising in performance-driven channels:

  • SEO: Local, national, and eCommerce optimisation to drive organic traffic and leads
  • Google Ads: Search, Display, Shopping, and Performance Max campaigns optimised for ROI
  • Meta Ads: Facebook and Instagram advertising for brand awareness and lead generation
  • Website Design & Development: Conversion-focused websites built to support your marketing goals
  • Conversion Rate Optimisation: Turning more traffic into leads and customers

Unlike agencies that silo their digital marketing services, we integrate everything under one strategy. Your SEO informs your paid media targeting. Your website supports conversion. Everything works together.

How much should I budget for digital marketing?

It depends on your goals, competition, and current digital presence. The right investment level varies significantly based on your industry, target market, and how aggressively you want to grow. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, we assess your specific situation – auditing your website, market, and competitors, before recommending an investment level that matches your growth objectives. During our initial consultation, we’ll give you a realistic picture of what’s achievable within your budget.

How long until I see results?

SEO: 6-12 months for significant organic traffic growth. You’ll see early ranking improvements within 3-4 months, but meaningful business impact takes longer.

Google Ads & Paid Social: Leads within weeks if executed correctly. Campaigns typically hit their stride after 2-3 months of optimisation.

Timelines also depend on competition. A local mortgage broker will see faster results than a national brand competing against the big banks.

We provide realistic timelines during scoping – based on data, not wishful thinking.

Can you guarantee rankings or leads?

We guarantee our process, not specific outcomes. Any agency promising otherwise is either misleading you or using tactics that could get your site penalised.

What we guarantee:

  • Data-driven strategy
  • Transparent reporting
  • Proactive recommendations
  • A team invested in your success

What we won’t do: Promise “#1 rankings in 90 days.” Instead, we provide realistic forecasts based on market data and competitor analysis, with clear KPIs we hold ourselves accountable to.

 

How do you measure and report on results?

We focus on metrics that impact your bottom line – not vanity metrics.

Monthly reporting includes:

  • Traffic and ranking performance
  • Lead volume and quality
  • Cost per acquisition
  • Conversion rate trends
  • Progress against agreed KPIs

You also get:

  • Live dashboard access
  • Regular strategy calls
  • Quarterly deep-dives for ongoing clients

No black boxes, no jargon-filled reports – just clear, actionable insights.

What types of businesses do you work best with?

As a Melbourne-based digital marketing agency, we specialise in Australian B2B and high-value B2C businesses, particularly:

  • Financial services (mortgage brokers, financial planners, wealth management)
  • Building & construction (manufacturers, suppliers, commercial construction)
  • Professional services (IT services, business advisory, corporate training)

Our ideal clients:

  • Established businesses with genuine growth ambitions
  • A marketing budget that reflects those ambitions
  • Willing to invest in a 6-12 month strategy
  • Value partnership over vendor relationships

We’re not the right fit if you want the cheapest option, need results in 30 days, or want a “set and forget” agency.

What should I expect when working with your agency?

A genuine partnership, not a vendor relationship.

Every client gets a dedicated team including:

  • Account Manager
  • Channel Specialist (SEO, SEM, or Web depending on your services)
  • Supporting Specialist or Developer as needed

What you won’t experience:

  • Handoff to junior staff after signing
  • Account managers who can’t answer questions
  • Generic reports with no insights

What you will experience:

  • Regular progress meetings
  • Proactive recommendations

As a full-service digital marketing agency in Melbourne, we’re accessible and responsive – not hiding behind layers of account management.

What if I already have a marketing team or another agency?

We work alongside internal teams and other agencies regularly. Some of our best relationships are with businesses that have sophisticated marketing functions and need specialist digital expertise.

Common scenarios:

  • Your team handles content and social; we handle SEO and paid search
  • You have a creative agency for branding; we focus on performance marketing
  • Your marketing manager needs strategic support and execution capacity

We integrate with your existing workflows and ensure our work aligns with your broader strategy.

What does your onboarding process look like?

We don’t rush into execution. Our process ensures we understand your business before starting work.

  • Step 1: Discovery Call – We assess fit and learn about your goals
  • Step 2: Audit & Analysis – Comprehensive review of your website, competitors, and market opportunity (before you commit)
  • Step 3: Strategy & Roadmap – 6-12 month plan with clear targets and milestones
  • Step 4: Proposal & Scoping – Investment level and expected outcomes with no hidden fees
  • Step 5: Onboarding & Kickoff – Conversion tracking setup, baseline benchmarking, and implementation begins

This takes 2-3 weeks. We do the due diligence upfront, not after you’ve signed.

Do I need SEO, Google Ads, or both?

It depends on your timeline, budget, and business model.

Choose Google Ads or Meta Ads if:

  • You need leads quickly (weeks, not months)
  • You want to test messaging before committing to SEO
  • You have budget for ongoing ad spend

Choose SEO if:

  • You’re focused on long-term, sustainable growth
  • You want to reduce reliance on paid advertising
  • Your customers research before purchasing

Choose both if:

  • You want short-term results AND long-term growth
  • You have budget to invest in both properly

As a digital marketing agency in Melbourne, we’ll recommend the right approach based on your specific situation during our initial consultation.

Can I handle digital marketing in-house, or do I need an agency?

It depends on your team’s capacity, expertise, and how fast you want to move.

You might manage in-house if:

  • You have dedicated marketing staff with SEO/SEM experience
  • You’re comfortable with slower progress while building internal capability
  • Your competitive landscape isn’t aggressive

An agency makes sense if:

  • Your team is stretched thin or lacks specialist digital skills
  • You need results faster than internal learning curves allow
  • You want access to senior strategists without the cost of full-time hires
  • You’d rather focus on running your business than managing campaigns

The honest truth: You can do digital marketing yourself. But unless you have years of hands-on experience, you’ll likely underperform compared to what’s possible and miss opportunities your competitors are capturing.

When you factor in the cost of hiring experienced SEO and SEM specialists in-house, partnering with a digital marketing agency in Melbourne is often more cost-effective, and delivers results faster.
