For over 15 years, I’ve helped Smartbag Australia (smartbag.com.au) grow using only digital — no TV, no radio, no flyers — just SEO + PPC and eCommerce industry solutions. Today, they attract 12K–15K organic visitors per month and generate around $100K–$200K in monthly sales.
Smartbag wanted to dominate the paper bag and packaging space across Australia using digital channels only — no TV, radio, print, or flyers. Everything had to come from search and paid media.
Smartbag Australia (smartbag.com.au) is an eCommerce supplier of paper bags and packaging for retailers, events, food businesses, and national brands.
They compete nationally against big-box suppliers and importers. The differentiator: strong product range, reliable supply, and a web presence built to capture buyers at the exact moment they search.
Over 15 years, I built an integrated system: national keyword coverage, tightly-structured campaigns, and ongoing optimization using industry-specific strategies and AI-driven optimization.
Structured the site around how customers search: paper bags by size, color, use case, and industry. Cleaned up technical SEO, optimized category pages, and ensured strong on-page SEO for core keywords like "paper bags" and "wholesale paper bags" while building internal links for depth and relevance.
Launched and refined Google Ads campaigns targeting commercial-intent keywords across Australia. Used exact, phrase, and smart match variations, directing traffic to high-converting category and product pages. Organic and paid were treated as one system — not separate channels.
Over time, layered in AI-enhanced optimization and marketing automation services: smarter bidding, content testing, search term mining, and landing page refinements. The result: more qualified traffic, better ROAS, and stable growth in monthly sales.
Smartbag evolved into a national player in the paper bag & packaging space — with every sale traceable back to SEO and PPC efforts.

All sales growth comes from digital — primarily SEO and PPC — with no traditional ad channels in play.
"We've never used TV or radio. Our growth has come entirely from being found online. Jason's SEO and PPC work turned our website into the engine of the business."
I combine SEO services, industry-specific strategies, AI optimization and marketing automation to build digital-only growth systems for eCommerce brands.
