Behind Rafi Media
Hi, I'm Rafi Kadir.
Rafi Media isn't a faceless agency with a call centre and a junior managing your account. It's me — and when you work with us, you work directly with the person doing the strategy.
I help local businesses get found across Google, AI answers and local search: technical SEO, content, AEO structuring, Google Business Profiles and the unglamorous fixes that actually move rankings — for clinics, trades, hospitality and service businesses across Sydney and beyond.
My approach is simple: no jargon, no lock-in contracts, and reporting you can actually understand. You'll always know what I'm working on, why it matters, and what it's doing for your visibility.
