Our two cents

Best suited to mid-market and B2B brands.

Rocket Agency is a Sydney-headquartered search and digital agency with a Melbourne CBD office on Albert Coates Lane and a named Head of SEO and GEO, Joe Alder. Its GEO page covers content, technical GEO, brand authority and tracking, and it openly says AI tracking data is still limited. It suits mid-market and B2B brands that also want paid search. The caveat: we found no AI-specific client results, and its Melbourne Google listing has only three reviews.

Worth considering for

Check before booking

  • No GEO or AI visibility results published for any client.
  • Head office is in Sydney; the Melbourne office has 3 Google reviews, so ask who in Melbourne would run the account.
  • No pricing published.
  • Not verified: ABN, Partner tier claims, Melbourne team size, Pricing, Insurance.

How the score adds up.

Method v1 · GEO agencies
Expertise and capability 17.5 / 25 Named Head of SEO and GEO and an eight-person search team, with a five-part GEO service. Method is described in general terms, and the agency is candid that AI tracking 'offers less data' than standard analytics.
Evidence of work 12.5 / 25 No AI-specific client results published; SEO and paid search case studies with figures only, which is partial evidence for GEO.
Customer experience 16 / 20 About 55 reviews at 4.9 to 5.0 across Google and Clutch, but 48 sit on the Sydney profile and the Melbourne office has 3. Not GEO-specific.
Transparency 10.5 / 15 Named team, both office addresses, and an onboarding guarantee letting new clients leave within the first four weeks. No pricing or ABN shown.
Professional standards 12 / 15 Multiple APAC Search Awards 2025 wins verified, though in paid search categories. Makes no GEO guarantee and acknowledges measurement limits.

Total: 69/100 (method v1). Points are rounded for display; the total is rounded once from exact values. Compare scores only within the same category. This is an editorial assessment, not a customer rating.

What the assessment is based on.

GEO page, Google profiles, Clutch and APAC Search Awards lists loaded. No AI case evidence, and the Melbourne office is a satellite of a Sydney agency.
