What we do

Three ways we grow
your business.

Most agencies do one of these and hand off the rest. We do all three, so the website, the search ranking and the ads pull in the same direction.

Websites Sites that look sharp and convert.

Custom-designed, custom-built — no Wix, no templates. Mobile-first because that’s how your customers find you. Fast, clean, and set up to turn visitors into enquiries.

  • Custom design & build
  • Mobile-first & responsive
  • E-commerce
  • Hosting & care
  • Landing pages
  • Speed optimisation
SEO Get found when customers search.

Honest, local-first SEO so the suburb next door finds you before your competitors. Google Business Profile dialled in, the right pages built, the technical stuff handled. No black-hat tricks, no nonsense reports.

  • Local & suburb SEO
  • Google Business Profile
  • Keyword & content
  • Technical SEO
  • Core Web Vitals
  • Rank tracking
Marketing Turn attention into booked jobs.

Ads and follow-up that actually pay for themselves. We run the campaigns, capture the leads, and track every dollar back to a job — so you know exactly what’s working.

  • Google Ads
  • Meta (FB / IG) ads
  • Lead capture & automation
  • Email & SMS follow-up
  • Conversion tracking
  • Monthly reporting

How it works

Simple, by design.

Most agencies make this complicated on purpose so you can’t compare. Here’s exactly how working with us goes — start to grow.

  1. 01

    Tell us the goal

    Fill the brief — who you are, what you do, and what “more business” looks like for you. Takes 30 seconds. No discovery-call gauntlet.

  2. 02

    Get a plan + quote

    Within 24 hours you get a written plan — what we’d build, what we’d rank for, what we’d run, and exactly what it costs. Fixed price, no surprises.

  3. 03

    We build & launch

    Custom site live in around 5 working days. SEO foundations and tracking set up at the same time, so you’re visible from day one — not months later.

  4. 04

    We grow it

    Then we bring the traffic: search rankings, ads, follow-up. Month to month or one-off — your call. No lock-in contracts, ever.

They just got what we were after. The site looks sharp, loads fast, and we’ve had a noticeable jump in enquiries since it went live.

We needed something simple that gets customers calling us. The enquiries started coming in within the first week.
Maria T. · Hume City Cleaners
Fast, no jargon, and the website paid for itself in a month. We’re now ranking for searches we never showed up for before.
Daniel R. · Sydney Autobody
Honest advice from the start. They told us what we actually needed instead of selling us the most expensive option.
Tom K. · Smart Auto Care
The phone genuinely rings more. That’s the only metric I care about, and they delivered it.

Who you’ll work with

A studio, not
an agency machine.

I’m Amar, and Smart Web Works is a small Melbourne studio. I’ve spent ten-plus years building software, and before that I ran a local service business myself — so I know how much work hides behind a ringing phone and a half-finished quote.

Now I build websites for service businesses and then grow them — getting you found on Google and running the ads and follow-up that turn clicks into booked jobs. Web, search and marketing from one place, all pulling the same direction.

No middleman, no “account manager”, no contract trap. You deal with the person doing the work. If something breaks at 9pm, I’m the one fixing it. That keeps everyone honest.

Common questions

Things people
always ask.

Do you only build websites, or the marketing too?

Both. We design and build the site, get it ranking on Google with honest SEO, and run the ads and follow-up that bring customers in. You can start with just a website and add the growth side later, or do it all from day one.

How long does a website take?

Most builds are live in around 5 working days once we’ve got your content. SEO foundations and tracking go in at launch, so you’re visible from the start — the ranking and ad results then build over the following weeks.

Do I really own the website?

Yes. The design, content and code are yours once it’s paid in full, and the domain is in your name from day one. If you ever want to take everything elsewhere, you can. We’re not holding anything hostage.

Is there a lock-in contract for SEO or marketing?

No. Everything is month-to-month or one-off. If the work isn’t paying for itself, you stop — no cancellation fees, no minimum term. We’d rather earn the next month than trap you in a contract.

How does SEO pricing work?

We scope it to your goals and quote a flat monthly figure up front — no vague “it depends” or padded hours. You get a plain-English report each month showing what moved and what we did. No black-hat shortcuts that get you penalised later.

What about ongoing hosting and changes?

Hosting is free for most service-business sites (Cloudflare’s free tier). Small post-launch tweaks are free for the first 30 days; after that, edits are flat-rate per job — email what you need, we quote it, turn it around in a day or two.

What if I don’t like the first design?

Full refund. We draft a first version — if you don’t approve it, we refund the deposit and walk away. No hard feelings, no “let’s try one more revision”. We’d rather you say no early than pay for something you don’t love.

Why work with you instead of a big agency?

You deal with the person actually doing the work — no account managers, no juniors, no being passed around. Replies in under a couple of hours, honest advice, and one studio handling web, search and marketing so nothing falls between the cracks.
