Search Everywhere Optimisation:

Introduction: The Marketing Crisis No One Talks About

You’ve invested in SEO. You’ve paid for ads. You’ve written blogs.
And still—your phone isn’t ringing.

If you’re like most Australian business owners, you’re being told to “rank on Google” as if it’s 2012. But here’s the brutal truth:

Google isn’t the only place your customers search anymore.

They’re looking you up on Instagram, checking credibility on LinkedIn, asking ChatGPT who to trust, and scrolling TikTok for ideas.
If your brand doesn’t show up across all those platforms, you don’t exist.


What Is Search Everywhere Optimisation (SEO 2.0)?

Search Everywhere Optimisation (SEO 2.0) is Honen’s modern, omni-platform strategy to get your business found—not just ranked.

It means being visible wherever your customers are actually searching:

  • Google, sure.

  • But also: ChatGPT. Instagram. TikTok. LinkedIn. YouTube. GMB. Email. Reddit. Even Quora.

This isn’t just SEO. It’s search psychology—and platform-specific optimisation, tuned to how Aussies buy in 2025.

Instead of ranking blog posts no one reads, we focus on one thing only:
Generating qualified leads from every search surface that matters.


Why Traditional SEO Is Broken (And Expensive)

Let’s get real.

Most SEO agencies are selling you:

  • Weak blog content

  • Generic backlinks

  • Rankings for keywords nobody types

  • A 12-month contract… and no leads to show for it

They optimise for robots. We optimise for results.

In contrast, our clients get:

  • Monthly campaigns with social, ads, email, content & automation

  • AI-powered follow-up using DaveCRM

  • End-to-end execution with a Virtual Marketing Assistant

  • All tuned to deliver one thing: leads that close


Real Results: What Omni-Search Can Do

Here’s what happened when we ran a multi-platform campaign for a home improvement client:

  • Channels Used: Facebook, Google My Business, Email automation

  • Ad Spend: $1,500

  • Timeframe: 60 days

  • Leads Generated: 143 qualified leads

  • ROI: 5X in closed business

That’s what happens when you stop focusing on traffic, and start focusing on where buyers are ready to convert.


Where Are Your Customers Really Searching?

Let’s break down the new “search engine” landscape:

If your brand isn’t positioned, ranked, or discoverable on these channels—you’re leaving money on the table.


Why Most Agencies Can’t Deliver SEO 2.0

Traditional marketers:

  • Are siloed (SEO team, ads team, email team...)

  • Don’t handle platforms like TikTok, ChatGPT, or Reddit

  • Avoid AI automation because they don’t understand it

We built Honen differently.

Our system combines:

  • Full-stack digital strategy

  • Platform-specific execution

  • AI follow-up + CRM automation

  • Human creativity + marketing science

All delivered by a Virtual Marketing Assistant, backed by DaveCRM and Honen’s expert playbooks.
