Meliora Projects a planning consultancy rebuilt to rank.

Meliora Projects is a NSW development and town planning consultancy. They came to us in 2025 after another agency, and we rebuilt the whole website on WordPress with custom PHP, sorted the branding and conversion, and took over their SEO and AEO. The site now ranks number one across its core planning services and is cited in Google's AI Overviews.
