How do you help eCommerce (especially Shopify) grow?

We remove friction in four places—shipping, design, speed, and checkout—so more visitors become customers. We use a custom shipping app with live regional rates, build a clean mobile-first theme, and simplify checkout.

Do you have results to share?

Yes. As a Google Partner, we’ve supported 30+ long-term New Zealand merchants generating over NZ$30M in online sales. Examples include a NZ furniture brand with 1.33M sessions and NZ$10.45M revenue (2022–2025).

How do you prepare a site for Google’s AI search?

We write clear, direct answers to customer questions, add helpful FAQs, use simple page structure, reference trustworthy sources, and add structured data so Google can read pages correctly.

How do you handle website security and privacy?

We add a firewall and CDN for protection and speed, set strict user access, keep backups, and monitor updates. We also help with basic privacy requirements like cookie consent.

How do we get started, and what does delivery look like?

Step 1: quick health check. Step 2: free audit. Step 3: a 90-day plan. Step 4: build, review, and launch. Business sites go live in 7–14 working days. You get monthly reports and fortnightly check-ins.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does SEO cost in NZ?

SEO pricing in New Zealand typically ranges from $1,500–$3,000/month for mid-tier agencies. Factors include competition level, current site state, and target scope (local vs national). Budget agencies under $500/month rarely deliver meaningful results. Read our full pricing guide →

How long does SEO take to show results?

Most businesses see measurable improvements in 3–6 months. Competitive keywords may take 6–12 months. We typically see early wins in month 2–3 from technical fixes and content optimisation, with compounding growth after month 6.

What's the difference between SEO and Google Ads?

SEO builds organic visibility over time — you earn rankings through content and technical optimisation. Google Ads gives immediate visibility through paid placement. Most businesses benefit from both: Ads for immediate leads, SEO for long-term sustainable growth.
