There are website design companies who say they specialize in SEO, and mentioned SEO is region specific, individual country will have their own. for eg. if target audience is the US market, does it matter if we host the company website in Australia if need to maximize the potential of SEO?

Let me add a few ideas that crossed my mind as I have been going through this thread:

1. CMS itself can hardly be more or less SEO friendly - but a CMS that is updated and well maintained - yes. Joomla 3.X is mobile-friendly unlike 2.5 and earlier versions - so this is a reason to choose Joomla for SEO aims. WordPress fixed so many valnurabilities and has so many SEO plugins - that it is certainly a good SEO choice. Most of your SEO success comes from off-site optimisation and IDEA!

2. Your website should be hosted ideally in the country you target in terms of SEO. Faster load is a + SEO factor. That is it.

3. Regarding the SEO tips and advice - many articles that come as A grade news in SEO are often written in the style of the "top of the iceberg". Contact an SEO company and talk directly to the boss - you will learn a lot of interesting stuff starting from the very basic things. If you are curious, of course. Do not expect it to turn into a free lecture from the start :)) An acquaintance of mine (SEO agency owner) turned this kind of advice into a regular business. I rather doubt it will work with USA seo agencies though...
