About GetSEO and Marius du Preez
From IT and big ad budgets to no‑nonsense local SEO. Today we help Australian mortgage brokers show up in Google Maps and get more calls.
I spent years in IT, then ran high‑spend YouTube and Facebook ads for brokers, then co‑founded a crypto analytics site and grew it to 3,000+ daily organic visits with SEO. That's where I fell in love with the compounding side of search.
Now my focus is simple: get local businesses (starting with brokers) into the Google Map Pack so the phone rings more. No fluff. No lock‑ins. Clear reporting.
The journey (in plain English)
From technical foundations to marketing expertise to SEO mastery — here's how each chapter built the foundation for GetSEO.
IT roots (2010–2018)
I built cloud and MSP environments (AWS, Azure, Microsoft 365) and learned how to make systems reliable and fast. That technical foundation still shows in how we audit and structure things today.
Swell Marketing (2017 →)
I started an agency and ran lead‑gen for mortgage brokers. We managed up to $10k/day in YouTube and Facebook spend and learned a lot about what makes people click and call.
ApeSpace.io (2022 →)
I co‑founded a crypto analytics platform and took it to 3,000+ daily visitors using SEO. That project proved how far you can go by getting the basics right and shipping consistently.
GetSEO (now)
We focus on local SEO because it's the shortest, cleanest line from search to calls for local businesses—especially brokers.

- Simple beats clever — Fix the basics first: Google profile, listings, reviews.
- Ship weekly — Small steps, measured often, win over time.
- Your numbers, not ours — We report calls (clicks), directions and website clicks from Google — the stuff that matters.
- No lock‑ins — If you're not seeing movement, you shouldn't be stuck.
A bit more personal
I'm based in Australia and work with clients around the country. I like clear plans, fast feedback, and practical wins. When I'm not working on client rankings, I'm usually testing new local SEO ideas, reading about systems/ops, or hanging out with the family.
