What is digital marketing?Digital marketing refers to all marketing efforts that use digital channels—such as search engines, social media, email, websites, and apps—to connect with current and prospective customers. It includes SEO, paid ads, content marketing, and more.
-
Why is SEO still important in 2025?Despite the rise of AI and generative search, SEO is still the foundation of discoverability. A strong SEO strategy ensures your website ranks on Google, appears in voice search, and is indexed by AI engines like ChatGPT and Gemini.
-
What’s the difference between organic and paid marketing?Organic marketing focuses on long-term growth via SEO, social media, and content. Paid marketing uses advertising platforms (e.g., Meta Ads, Google Ads) for immediate visibility. At Oceania, we often recommend a blended approach.
-
What is content marketing?Content marketing is the creation and distribution of valuable, relevant content (blogs, videos, downloads) to attract and engage a clearly defined audience. It's a key driver for both SEO and brand authority.
-
How do I know which marketing channel is right for my business?It depends on your goals, audience, and resources. B2B businesses may lean into LinkedIn and email nurturing. B2C brands may find Instagram or TikTok more effective. Oceania builds omnichannel strategies tailored to your industry and audience.
-
How can I use data to improve my marketing?Analytics tools (like Google Analytics 4, Meta Insights, and CRM data) provide insight into what's working. Oceania tracks performance, applies predictive modelling, and uses AI to identify trends and optimise spend.
-
How does email marketing fit in today’s world?Email remains one of the most cost-effective channels with high ROI—especially when combined with automation and segmentation. It's perfect for nurturing leads and re-engaging audiences.
-
What’s the role of social media in a marketing strategy?Social media builds brand awareness, fosters community, and drives traffic. It also provides social proof and valuable insights into customer behaviour. Oceania creates strategy-led, consistent content that’s built to convert.
-
Can you help us run Meta or Google Ads?Yes. Oceania manages Meta (Facebook & Instagram), Google, LinkedIn, and TikTok ads for a variety of clients. We handle everything from creative and copy to targeting, tracking, and optimisation.
-
How long does it take to see results?It depends on your strategy. Paid ads can generate immediate leads; SEO and organic content take longer (3–6 months) but deliver long-term results. Our strategies include both quick wins and long-term growth initiatives.
-
What is a Fractional CMO?A Fractional CMO is a part-time Chief Marketing Officer who provides high-level strategy, leadership, and marketing execution without the overhead of a full-time executive. They work flexibly with your business, offering the same calibre of expertise you'd expect from a senior in-house marketing leader.
-
What does a Fractional CMO do differently from a marketing consultant or agency?A Fractional CMO is embedded in your business. They don’t just advise—they lead. They align marketing with business goals, manage internal teams or external agencies, create and implement strategies, and are accountable for real results. At Oceania, we blend strategy and execution with deep AI knowledge and business acumen.
-
How do I know if I need a Fractional CMO?Fractional CMOs are ideal for businesses in growth, transition, or needing strategic direction without the cost of a full-time CMO. Startups, scaleups, and established businesses lacking senior marketing leadership benefit most.
-

What is structured data and why does it matter?Structured data (Schema.org) provides metadata that helps search engines and AI models understand your content. It enables rich results like review stars, FAQs, and author bios. Oceania implements structured data on all client websites to improve AI readability.
-
Which Schema types should I use?We recommend: Organisation for your business profile Person for key team members Service for your offerings Article for blog content FAQ Page for pages like this Review to build trust and credibility
-
How does AI affect Google ranking?Google’s algorithms increasingly use AI to interpret content quality, relevance, and user engagement. AI-generated summaries, contextual understanding, and ranking signals all play a role. This is why quality, structure, and intent-based content are more important than ever.
-
How do I know if my SEO strategy is AI-ready?Ask yourself: Does my content answer real questions clearly and concisely? Do I use structured data (Schema.org) to help AI interpret my site? Is my brand mentioned and linked on authoritative, trusted third-party sites? Am I producing content across formats (text, video, imagery) optimised for AI discovery? If you’re unsure, Oceania can run a full audit and roadmap for AI-readiness.
-
Can AI improve our content strategy?Absolutely. AI can help identify trending topics, optimise for keywords, personalise messaging, and even generate first drafts. Oceania uses a blended human/AI process to create fast, high-quality content.
-
Will my website appear in ChatGPT or Bing AI results?Only if it’s structured correctly. AI engines draw from trusted, structured, and contextually rich content. Schema markup, citations, and clear Q&A content help boost discoverability in AI-generated search results.
-
What is AI Marketing and why is it important in 2025?AI marketing uses artificial intelligence technologies to automate, optimise and personalise marketing strategies. In 2025, AI is central to how customers find brands, how search engines index content, and how decisions are made across digital channels. From predictive analytics to generative content, AI is transforming marketing from reactive to proactive—and brands not leveraging it are at risk of being left behind.
-
What does AI Optimisation (AIO) mean?AI Optimisation ensures your website and content are discoverable, learnable, and usable by AI engines (not just search engines). It involves structuring your data, using schema markup, answering questions clearly, and creating content that AI can extract, summarise, and recommend.
-
Is AI going to replace human marketers?Not at all. AI is a tool—not a replacement. At Oceania, we blend AI tools with decades of strategic human experience to improve efficiency, enhance creativity, and drive better results. The role of marketers will need to change to adapt to the adoption of AI, any brand falling behind in understanding how their customers are utilising AI runs the risk of falling behind.
-
What is Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)?GEO ensures your brand is recommended by generative engines. Think of it as PR for AI. The more trustworthy, high-quality, and relevant your content is, the more likely AI will cite and promote your brand in zero-click answers.
-
What is Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO)?AEO ensures your content appears in Featured Snippets, People Also Ask, and other answer boxes. Structured data, direct answers, and strong semantic markup are key to this.
-
What is Search Experience Optimisation (SXO)?SXO is about what happens after the click. It focuses on optimising for user experience—ensuring visitors take action, convert, and engage. This includes page load speed, mobile responsiveness, conversion design, and clear CTAs.
-
What’s the difference between SEO and AIO?SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) helps your website rank in Google. AIO (AI Optimisation) makes your brand accessible and understandable to AI assistants and models like ChatGPT, Bard, and Copilot. Both are critical—but AIO is the future of digital visibility.
