in just 2 years from launch
From zero to Brisbane's highest-rated gold buyer — 3 stores in 2 years
CashYourGold didn't come to us with a struggling business that needed fixing. They came to us before anything existed — a start-up entering one of Australia's most trust-sensitive retail categories. There was no website, no brand, no systems, no reviews, and no customers. Everything had to be built from the ground up.
We started with strategy and consulting, mapping the competitive landscape in Brisbane and defining a positioning that would allow CashYourGold to differentiate from established players from day one. Custom website design and development followed — including API integrations for live gold pricing and a full automations stack covering lead capture, quote workflows, and follow-up sequences. The goal was to launch with infrastructure that could scale, not a duct-tape solution.
The digital marketing programme was built across every channel simultaneously: local SEO optimised across each Google My Business profile as each new store opened, organic content and social media to build trust in a sceptical market, performance marketing to generate immediate lead flow, and a CRO programme that ensured every commercial keyword landed on pages designed to convert. The review system was embedded into the post-transaction process — resulting in over 1,000 verified 5-star reviews and the highest-rated gold buyer reputation in Brisbane.

"When we started, we had nothing — no website, no reviews, no brand recognition in Brisbane. Abhay helped us build everything from the ground up. Two years later we have three stores, top 3 rankings across every Google search that matters, and over a thousand five-star reviews. The results speak for themselves."
