Areas I Serve
Rift Digital is a digital marketing consultancy in Western Australia's South West, run by one consultant: me, Marinda. From Forest Grove near Margaret River, I help small businesses in Margaret River, Busselton and the surrounding towns with local SEO, self-managed websites and social media. Dunsborough, Yallingup, Cowaramup, Augusta, Nannup, Bunbury: I take on clients across the whole region. No retainers, no lock-in contracts, and I work Australia-wide over video.

Digital Marketing in Margaret River
Margaret River is home. I live and work here, so I see the same thing you do: a town full of good businesses that visitors can't find on Google. Wineries, trades, cafes and health practices competing for the same tourists, with the results decided by whoever set up their online presence properly.
Everything I offer runs here: local SEO, web design, and AI consulting for businesses that want to show up in ChatGPT and Google's AI answers, not just the old blue links.
Digital Marketing in Busselton
Busselton is the biggest small-business market in the South West, and the most competitive. More businesses fighting for page one means the difference between ranking and invisibility comes down to fundamentals: a fast site, real local signals, and content that answers what people ask.
I work with Busselton businesses on exactly that, covering Busselton itself plus Vasse, Geographe, Broadwater, Abbey and up to Dunsborough and Yallingup.
WHAT I BELIEVE
Why not just use an agency?
Traditional agencies servicing the South West, mostly from Perth, charge $1,500 to $3,000 a month on retainer, and the website usually stays in their hands. My local SEO starts from $770 once off with no lock-in contract, and I build websites you can update yourself in about 10 minutes, so you never pay $200 to change a phone number.

WHO I HELP
I work Australia wide
SEO, web design and social media management don't need me in your town. I run everything over video and email for clients around Australia, and you get the same deal every local client gets: I build it, I explain it, and I teach you to run it yourself. My clients span every industry: retail, hospitality, trades, professional services, ecommerce, and everything in between.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to the most common questions about my services, so you can make informed decisions with ease.
Which areas do you serve?
I'm based in Forest Grove near Margaret River and serve small businesses across the South West of WA: Margaret River, Busselton, Dunsborough, Vasse, Cowaramup, Augusta and surrounds. I also work with clients Australia-wide over video, and location changes nothing about the service or the price.
How much does digital marketing cost in the South West?
My local SEO starts from $770 once off with no lock-in contract, and every other service is priced openly on its page. Traditional agencies servicing the region charge $1,500 to $3,000 a month on retainer. With me you pay for work, not a subscription to an agency.
Why choose a local consultant over a Perth agency?
A Perth or national agency treats Margaret River and Busselton as pins on a map. I live here, I know the seasonal visitor patterns local businesses ride on, and you deal with me directly rather than an account manager. No retainers, no hand-offs, no lock-in contracts.
Do you work with businesses outside the South West?
Yes. SEO, web design and social media management all run over video and email, and a good share of my clients sit outside the region. You get the same process wherever you are: I build it, I explain it, and I teach you to run it yourself.
Do we need to meet in person?
No, though if you're in Margaret River or Busselton I'm happy to. Most clients prefer a video call anyway: it's faster, and I can share my screen and show you exactly what I'm doing instead of describing it over the phone.
