Nick Bell’s Superist Group launches AI-powered digital marketing agency

Nick Bell

Budget SEO, a digital marketing agency powered by AI, has officially launched in Australia.

The agency is focused on offering startup and small business owners a low cost, high impact SEO agency service powered by AI to pass the cost savings directly to customers. 

Budget SEO is the 18th agency started by Nick Bell under his global digital marketing and performance group Superist Group. Last year, he launched Mooning, a digital agency with a focus on Web3 marketing, including NFTs and metaverse activations, in Australia.

Bell says the idea for Budget SEO came in response to hundreds of enquiries from small business owners recognising the importance of a strong digital presence yet feeling the pinch of rising costs, inflation, and managing cash flow. AI has been an absolute game changer for Bell both from an operational perspective as well as the quality of the output for the customer.

“We’ve utilised AI across all aspects of the business which has reduced manual execution by 40% and helped minimise human error, so the quality of work is high. Our AI-powered SEO tools have helped us significantly reduce operating costs, savings we’ve been able to pass onto our customers,” Nick Bell said.

“I started my first business in SEO digital marketing over 15 years ago with just $350 to my name. As a struggling young business owner I learnt first-hand the challenge of managing cash flow while trying to grow a business.

“A great search engine ranking and competitive digital presence is an absolute must for any business. At Budget SEO we make quality SEO a right not a privilege. Small business owners are facing multiple headwinds so we’ve used AI to build a solution.”

Avoid Digital Marketing Disasters In 2023: 8 Tips For Unbeatable Success

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

You’re reading Entrepreneur Asia Pacific, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media.

Digital marketing can feel like it’s evolving at breakneck speed. Many business owners don’t have the hours in the day to keep up with the latest trends and forecasts for the rest of 2023 and onwards. Fail to move with the times and you risk losing market share to your closest competitor.

Jordan Power, President of the highly-sought after agency, Grey Smoke Media provides eight digital marketing tips that business owners should digest to succeed in the most competitive of arenas.

  1. Data, Data, Data- The more you know about your customer the more you can predict their next move. You already know your customer demographics but start to layer their psychographic information further and further. By collecting customer data, businesses can continue to create bespoke marketing efforts on both their website and weekly email newsletters.
  2. Create content that is value-driven- You don’t just want to be a great brand; you want to be a source of value for your customer base. Content should be both informative, engaging, and shareable. Put the effort into creating something that propagates naturally across the web and watch it grow. If you yourself fit within the target demo, ask yourself if it’s something you’d want to share with your inner circle.
  3. Voice Search is coming- The prevalence of voice search is on the rise. The content on all your pages should be optimized to make way for this rising trend. The ways you can improve on this is to use language that is conversational, answer questions that are common (as you may be doing in the schema) and structure all language for easy scans by voice assistants.
  4. Build Communities alongside your brand– At a time
