About StewArt Media · Melbourne

The people behind the work.

We help business owners get more from their marketing, their websites and their working day. A hands-on team bringing SEO, AEO, paid media, customer experience and practical AI together.

Our story

Built on doing the work.

StewArt Media is led by founder Jim Stewart. We have helped businesses navigate search, advertising and website changes since 1999, bringing the marketing and technical work together.

Jim has shared what he learns through videos and articles since 2005. That habit of testing, explaining and sharing is still part of how we work.

Today, we manage digital marketing and build agentic systems for founder-led businesses. We use agents in our own operations to research, analyse, prepare changes and test them. Our people bring the judgement and remain responsible for the work.

SEO & AEO

The experience is what we optimise.

Internally, our definitions have evolved to describe the work we do: helping people shop and helping agents work with a business.

SEO: Shopper Experience Optimisation

For us, SEO covers the whole shopping experience. Help people find the right product, get clear answers, trust the business and complete their purchase. Search visibility, site search and conversion all contribute to that experience.

Why we redefined SEO

AEO: Agentic Experience Optimisation

We apply the same thinking to AI agents. Make the business easier for them to understand and work with, through clear information, usable systems and defined permissions. The goal is useful work for customers and your team.

How we work

Your business comes first.

Start with what matters.

We look at the business goal and the customer journey together. More traffic only helps if the right people can find what they need and take the next step.

Keep it clear.

We explain what we recommend and why, and agree the scope and approvals before work starts. Your Google Ads account belongs to you. You retain it, with reporting as required.

Keep learning. Keep improving.

We test new approaches, check the results and share what we learn. Agents give us more capacity to deliver, with the team accountable for the decisions and the work.

Steve VallasIncredible support over many years

I have worked with Jim Stewart and Stewart Media for many years. I go to them with a problem and they work their magic to come up with a solution. It’s not often an agency manages to exceed expectations but Stewart Media have done this on several occasions, helping to deliver tangible results that result in a great return on investment. Highly recommend them.
