01 · Executive Summary

The opportunity

Nearly every training decision now starts on a screen. A supervisor weighing up their next ticket, an SSE working out their RS22 pathway, or an HR lead booking a cohort of managers all do the same thing first: they search. What they find decides whether they enquire with MINRES or a competitor. MINRES Training Institute is already winning that moment on its deepest, most specific terms, and has a clear opportunity to own the rest.

The current ranking picture is genuinely strong. MINRES already sits at number one or two for the flagship qualifications, terms like advanced diploma of extractive industries management, RS22 training and certificate IV resources supervision. The gap is everything one rung higher: the broader, higher-intent searches people use before they know a course code (mine manager course, mining supervisor course, mining leadership training) where MINRES sits on page two or three, and the state markets, Sydney, Melbourne and especially Perth, where the satellite classrooms run but MINRES is barely visible. This programme closes both gaps with one connected system, aimed squarely at the enrolments worth the most.

This is a value play, not a volume play. MINRES sits at the top of the training food chain, managers, SSEs and statutory pathways, and is already trusted by Rio Tinto, BHP, Fortescue, Glencore, South32, Boral and Thiess. A single corporate relationship can send ten supervisors, five managers and twenty future leaders through training. The job here is to make MINRES the obvious, first-found answer for every one of those decision-makers.

⚠ Where the enrolments are leaking

Strong on the course codes, invisible where the search journey starts
  • People search by role before they know the code, "mine manager course", "mining supervisor course", and MINRES sits on page two or three
  • The satellite classrooms run in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, but there are no Google Business Profiles and almost no local visibility
  • Decision-makers compare two or three providers, and on the broad terms MINRES may not make the shortlist
  • The reputation and the client list are world class, but the everyday search visibility doesn't match it
02 · Scope of Work

What's included in the programme

One agency, every channel, zero compromise. Each pillar below has a Month-1 build, then ongoing work every month after, run by the same in-house team and rolled into one monthly report, so you never have to chase a different supplier for every channel to get one straight answer.

1
SEO & Organic Search
Defend the wins · take page one

MINRES already ranks at the top for its course codes. The job now is to defend those positions and win the broader, higher-intent terms people search before they know a code, the searches that bring new students who have never heard of MINRES.

Technical audit. Speed, mobile, indexing and structure checked and fixed in Month 1, so nothing holds the rankings back.
Five flagship qualifications prioritised. The Double Advanced Diploma, Extractive Industries, Surface Coal Mining, Surface Operations and Supervisor Development, each given its own optimised, conversion-focused page.
Striking-distance terms. The page-two terms one push from page one, "mine manager course", "mining supervisor course", "mining leadership training", targeted first for the fastest wins.
Compliance and SSE authority. RS22, SHMS and SSE pathway pages strengthened, the hidden-gold terms where MINRES is the natural answer.
On-page optimisation. Titles, headings and copy tuned to role and intent, not just course code.
Rank tracking. Your tracked terms reported every month, plus the new ones we add, so progress is never a mystery.
2
Google Business Profile
Own the map in every state

MINRES delivers in Brisbane and runs satellite classrooms in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, but without Google Business Profiles for those locations, the local map searches go to competitors. This is one of the clearest, fastest opportunities in the whole programme.

Profiles built and verified. Brisbane plus the Sydney, Melbourne and Perth satellite locations, set up properly and verified.
City landing pages. A dedicated, optimised page behind each location so the map listing has somewhere strong to point.
Local optimisation. Built to rank for "mining training Brisbane / Sydney / Melbourne / Perth" and the role-based local terms.
Reviews engine. A simple system to turn happy students and corporate clients into a steady stream of local reviews.
Ongoing management. Posts, updates and Q&A kept current across every location.
3
Google Ads
Top of page from day one

SEO takes time to climb. Google Ads puts MINRES at the top of the page from launch, capturing the decision-makers with an immediate compliance or enrolment need. We manage the spend like it's our own, focused on real enquiries.

Three campaign structure. Built around intent, Mine Managers, Supervisors, and Compliance / SSE, so budget and messaging match the searcher.
Conversion tracking. Every call and enrolment enquiry from the ads recorded, so we prove what works and what to scale.
Ad copywriting. Headlines built around RS22 readiness, statutory competence and career advancement, the reasons people enrol.
Negative keyword list. Filters out job seekers, entry-level ticket searches and DIY, so spend only chases real prospects.
Retargeting. Bring back the managers and HR leads who visited a course page but didn't enquire first time.
Ongoing monitoring & testing. Spend, bids and search terms watched so budget is never wasted on the wrong clicks.
4
LinkedIn
Reach the decision-makers

This is high-level training bought by managers, SSEs and HR leaders, exactly the people LinkedIn lets us target by role, industry and employer. It is the right channel for management and supervisor training in a way Facebook and Instagram are not, so the social spend goes where the buyers are.

Company page optimisation. Your existing MINRES page sharpened into a credibility asset that converts profile visits into enquiries.
Targeted advertising. Campaigns aimed at mine managers, SSEs, safety and training leads at the resource companies that send cohorts.
Authority content. A regular cadence of posts on RS22, SSE pathways and leadership, positioning MINRES as the expert voice.
Lead capture. Enquiries and downloads tracked the same way as every other channel, into one report.
5
Content & Career Pathways
Answer the questions people actually ask

The site speaks fluent qualification and legislation, but people search in plain language: "how do I become a mine manager?", not "RII60220". This content captures that earlier, higher-volume demand and answers the questions your team already fields by phone every week.

Career pathway guides. How to Become a Mine Manager, the Mining Supervisor Career Pathway, the Mining Leadership Roadmap.
Plain-English explainers. What is an SSE, RS22 Requirements Explained, Mining Management Qualifications Explained.
Built to rank and to convert. Each piece maps to a flagship qualification and points readers to the right course.
Content calendar. A clear plan of what to publish, when, and which search and enrolment goal it serves.

One team. One report. Every channel above is run by the same in-house Fresh Digital team and rolled into a single, plain-English monthly report, no jargon, no smoke and mirrors, just the metrics that show what's working and where your money is going.

03 · Answer Engine Optimisation

Be the answer, not just a link

Google now answers questions directly at the top of the page, and more buyers are asking tools like ChatGPT "what qualification do I need to become a mine manager?" or "who trains SSEs in Australia?" Getting MINRES named as that answer is called Answer Engine Optimisation, and it runs on the same foundations as the SEO, content and Google Business Profile work, so you are building for both at once.

Build structured FAQs around the real questions: how to become a mine manager, what RS22 requires, what an SSE must hold
Answer the practical questions on entry requirements, duration, delivery (online, classroom, onsite) and state differences
Mark up courses, qualifications and locations so Google and AI tools can read and quote them cleanly
Keep qualifications, RTO details and state-by-state requirements clear, accurate and current
◆ Why this matters now

The page is changing under your feet

More searches now end without a click, because Google or an AI tool answered the question on the spot. The training providers that get named in those answers are the ones with clear, well-structured content. Getting ahead of this now means MINRES is the name that comes up when someone asks how to become a mine manager or which RTO handles RS22, whether they are on Google or asking an assistant.

Buyer-question FAQs
The questions customers actually ask, answered the way they ask them.
Clean, quotable content
Structured so search engines and AI tools can lift you straight into an answer.
Quality-score bonus
Strong FAQ content also lifts your Google Ads quality score, which can lower cost per click.

06 · Investment

Investment, in plain numbers

One one-off setup fee and a single monthly retainer covering the channels in your programme. Where ads are involved, the ad spend is separate and paid directly to the platform, with no markup, so every dollar of it goes to reaching customers.

Monthly retainer$2,950 + GST

The bottom line. A one-off $2,950 + GST in Month 1 builds and tracks the whole programme. From Month 2, a single $2,950 + GST monthly retainer covers SEO, Google Business Profile, Google Ads, LinkedIn and content together, with no separate per-channel management surcharge. Advertising spend is on top: a recommended $3,000 + / month across Google Ads and LinkedIn, paid directly by MINRES to the platforms, never invoiced through or marked up by Fresh Digital. MINRES has the trainer capacity to scale, so as the channels prove out, spend can scale with them.

All fees are quoted in Australian Dollars and are exclusive of GST. The one-off setup fee is $2,950 + GST, invoiced in Month 1. The monthly retainer is $2,950 + GST, beginning in Month 2 and invoiced on the same date each month. Recommended advertising spend of around $3,000 + / month across Google Ads and LinkedIn is paid directly by MINRES to the relevant platforms and is not invoiced through, or marked up by, Fresh Digital; the exact split and figure are confirmed before launch. Performance targets are objectives based on current data and are not guarantees. This proposal is valid for 30 days from issue.
