Experienced SEO agency for businesses in Singapore
Whether your business is located in Singapore, or located outside Singapore yet you aspire to grow your market presence in Singapore, we can help you make things happen.
Expand your business with the help of Singapore SEO expertise
Of the estimated 5.4 million people in Singapore in 2021, 5.29 million or 98% are Internet-connected. This provides a great potential market for your Singapore-related business to get found online when you implement effective search engine optimisation (SEO) plans.
Opportunities are promising in Singapore. The search engine market share for Google in Singapore is 95.5% (higher than the global average of 92.5%). Google uses more than 200 ranking factors in their search algorithm, and updates it several times a year.
The intent is to increase your business’s visibility as a trusted service/product provider among people who specify that they want Singapore results in their Google searches relevant to your business.
SEO in Singapore
Great SEO can be highly rewarding. For example, an ROI of 12x, a 87% reduction in cost of customer acquisition, or a four-fold increase in the business value of a blog (429%). We help you work out what’s possible for your Singapore-based SEO aspirations.
Engaging our agency to plan and implement SEO strategies probably makes more business sense than trying to do it yourself. Some opportunities to consider:
- Mobile SEO is worth prioritising as the mobile connection rate in Singapore is 145.5%, with many people having more than one mobile number. Avoid search penalties by making your website mobile friendly.
- The most highly connected Singapore demographic (31%) active on the internet are those aged 25 to 34.
- About 2 out of 5 digital marketers in the Asia Pacific believe there is a lack of high quality digital marketing talent in Singapore. Source to a reputable international SEO agency, like Ignite Search to transform your digital marketing activities.
- Singapore users spend about 2.5 hours online daily, and 96% are active on at least one social media platform. This means your SEO efforts should be integrated with a strong social media presence.
Let our SEO experts connect your business to more Singapore prospects online at all phases of their buyer journeys (increase attention, interest, desire and purchasing). We help you improve your website and match your business with the wants and needs of searchers in the marketplace.

The art and science of SEO
SEO may seem like black magic to the uninitiated, but to us, it is both an art and a science.
- The science of SEO: Knowing what to measure for what purpose, how to measure it, and how to analyse it.
- The art of SEO: Spotting behavioural patterns in the data, interpreting what they mean, and applying insights to make decisions that improve business performance.
Data drives both the art and science of effective SEO. Our methods range from performing standard best practice to reverse engineering what already works to executing novel strategies.

Frequently Asked SEO Questions
What is SEO?
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. SEO helps to match what people seek and what your business provides.
- Its purpose is to drive more visits to a website or webpage from people who are looking for specific things online by entering search terms through search engines.
- SEO results are considered organic or unpaid, unlike other digital marketing strategies where online visibility and findability are boosted through paid advertising.
- The world’s most popular search engine is Google, with 89% market share in the US and 94% market share in Australia. Other popular ones are Microsoft Bing, Yahoo, and Ask.com in the US, Baidu in China, Yandex in Russia, and DuckDuckGo which prides itself on not collecting user data to personalise search results.
In 2021, Google received an average of 3.5 billion search queries a day. Search results are typically web pages from websites, and could also be other types of online content where the queried search term is mentioned or tagged, like posts from social media channels such as YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram. Google also allows its users to define the type of search (for images, videos, news, shopping, makes, books, flights, or finance), and provides a advanced search engine called Lens which is powered by artificial intelligence and can do many cool things that boost productive searching.
The more relevant your online content is to what people seek, the more likely it is to appear at the top of search engine result lists, and the more opportunities there are for people to click on your link to generate traffic to your online content. That gives them the opportunity to get to know and like you, and ideally buy the products or services you offer on your website.
Is it okay to have a business website without SEO?
Pouring time, talent, and money into creating a great business website, and not optimising it for search? That’s like building your flagship store in the middle of the desert, and not building roads to bring people there. ‘Build it and they will come’ doesn’t happen on the Internet. You could of course inform people of your store manually. Why would you stop there if there are digital tools that exponentially expand your potential reach? You must provide pathways and maps for lots of people to find your business easily, and SEO is a powerful way to do so.
Is there a minimum term for an SEO contract?
All our clients are happy to sign a 12-month contract, and often renew them when they see the results we bring. It takes time to build solid SEO foundations. We do not wave shiny promises at you to get quick results with black hat techniques. The risks of such dodgy practices include having to pay penalties and getting your site banned on search engines.
Can the best SEO company guarantee me results?
Great SEO companies know there is no guarantee, and search engine providers like Google themselves warn you that if anyone should guarantee you results, they are not to be trusted. Read more about the SEO guarantee myth here.
How long does SEO take to produce results?
This depends on a whole lot of factors within the Google search algorithm and outside it. In our experience with a variety of client profiles, we have obtained increases in search rankings and web traffic within weeks and months.
Who makes the content?
We’re flexible. You may like to supply the content, or let our professional digital strategist and copywriter recommend SEO content strategies and keywords. Then write content for you aligned with the agreed strategies.
How much does SEO cost?
In Australia, hourly SEO rates range from $125 to $250, and monthly fees for different levels of SEO range from $750 to $5,000 a month. Talk to us to see what your business really needs, and only do SEO that makes business sense at every stage of your business growth.
What should my ROI be on SEO spending?
One number cited is $2.75 for every $1 invested in SEO. This is practically meaningless to your particular business because there are countless factors that vary in every case. Start by working out two things:
- The percentage of marketing spend for your industry and company type. Marketing spend is usually between 10% to 25% of gross revenue, and considers your business profile (whether you are a start-up, growing, or established business with digital or non-digital products and services). Your business profile shapes your business-aligned marketing objectives, which could be as broad as ‘create awareness of my brand across Australia’ to ‘grow LinkedIn following by 50%’.
- The percentage of marketing spend to allocate to SEO. The SEO budget could be between 15% to 60%, again depending on your business profile and marketing objectives.
