Yes. HTTPS is a light ranking signal, and browsers warn visitors when a site isn't secure, which hurts trust and enquiries. Most hosts provide free SSL certificates now. Make sure every HTTP address redirects to its HTTPS version so you don't end up with duplicate pages.

You can get started with us starting from $595/m. Over a thousand small and medium Australian firms have worked with us since 2016. We've seen smaller clients rank above national chains like Bunnings and Officeworks. The final price for SEO with technical clean up comes down to how much work your site needs.
