Sydney boutique agency with dental websites, SEO and ads for specialist practices
About AEK Media
AEK Media is a boutique digital agency based at Suite 201, 10-12 Clarke Street, Crows Nest, on Sydney's lower north shore. It was founded in 2018 and has 10 to 49 staff serving Australia and New Zealand. It also runs location pages for Sydney and Melbourne. No founder or director is named publicly.
Dental is one of its main healthcare lines, with dedicated pages for dental marketing in Sydney and for dental website design. Services cover website design and build, SEO, Google and Meta advertising, email, content, branding, and film and photography. The agency serves general, cosmetic, oral surgery, paediatric, orthodontic, periodontal, endodontic and prosthodontic practices, keeps its work AHPRA compliant and connects sites to practice tools such as Cliniko and HotDoc. Work runs on a monthly retainer, and the agency starts by mapping the patient journey before fitting campaigns around the practice's existing systems.
The dental case studies are specific. Fox Orthodontics had a redesign plus paid ads and SEO, and saw an 85 percent rise in new patient bookings, a 95 percent rise in organic traffic and 54 percent more keywords on page one. Crestwood Family Practice, led by Dr Gunjan Singh, had a site that was more than ten years old modernised alongside SEO and branding, with organic clicks up 467 percent, and patient numbers tripled. Narrabeen Dental Care ranks first for its local area, and its principal Dr Paschal Grenquist praises the support across all areas.
The agency holds Semrush, Google, Meta, Shopify and BigCommerce partner status. It won at the Global Search Awards 2023, the APAC Search Awards 2023 and the Australian Design Awards 2023, and was a finalist at the AMI Awards, Semrush Search Awards Australia and Australian Web Awards in 2022. Non-dental clients include Kodak, Oricom, Tasman Eco and Criminal Defence Lawyers Australia.
Ratings are high: 4.7 from 26 reviews on Semrush and 5.0 from four on The Manifest. Healthcare clients talk about honest advice, a clear process, regular contact and a steady flow of new patients, and several say they came to AEK after poor results elsewhere. Some testimonials on the agency's own site repeat the same wording under different names, so third-party reviews are the safer guide.
No prices are published. The enquiry form groups budgets into bands from under 5,000 to over 50,000 Australian dollars a month, and project budgets run 5,000 to 10,000 dollars, with engagements starting at three to six months. A free audit or introductory call is offered first. The fit is strongest for Sydney or wider Australian practices, including specialists, that want website, SEO and paid ads handled together.
