No jargon
SEO, in plain English.
Not sure what SEO actually is? Here's the whole thing in three steps.
-
People search
Every day, your future customers type exactly what you sell into Google, ready to buy.
-
You show up
SEO gets you to the top of those results, where almost all the clicks actually go.
-
They become customers
They click, they call, they book. And because they were already searching, they convert.
Real results
Numbers from real campaigns.
A snapshot of what good SEO does over time. Reported clearly, every month.
The compounding curve
SEO is a snowball, not a switch.
Unlike ads, SEO builds on itself. The work you do this month keeps paying off next year. Most businesses see real movement by month three, and the curve only gets steeper from there.
- Traction in 2 to 3 months
- Compounding growth from month 6
- Results that keep working after you stop paying

- Top 3~55%
- Page 2+<1%
Beyond blue links
SEO, AEO & GEO, all in one plan.
Search has changed. A huge chunk of it now happens inside AI answers, not a list of links. So SEO and AEO come as standard, and GEO is built right in too.
Search Engine Optimisation
The classic: ranking in Google's results and the map pack for the searches that win you work.

How much does SEO cost?
SEO starts from NZ$600 a month for a focused local plan, or from NZ$750 for the full plan, which begins at five hours of work a month and then scales by the hour. Every plan covers strategy, on-page, technical and local SEO with monthly reporting, and the full plan adds AEO for AI search as standard. GEO (generative AI search) is an optional add-on for the PR and content placement it needs. Use the calculator above to build your own estimate.
What is SEO, in plain English?
SEO (search engine optimisation) is the work that gets your website to show up when people search for what you do. The top results get almost all the clicks, so SEO gets you there, and keeps you there, giving you a steady stream of customers who are already looking for you.
How long does SEO take to work?
SEO is a long game, not an overnight fix. Most businesses see movement within two to three months, with stronger, compounding results from around month six. The earlier you start, the sooner it compounds, and unlike ads, the results keep working after you stop paying.
Can you guarantee number one rankings?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. Nobody controls Google's algorithm. What we do guarantee is real, proven work: a clear strategy, transparent monthly reporting, and a track record of moving rankings, traffic and enquiries in the right direction.
What's included in your SEO service?
Keyword research and strategy, on-page SEO, technical SEO, local SEO and Google Business Profile, content optimisation, link and authority building, AEO for AI search, and ongoing management with monthly reporting in plain English, all as standard. GEO (generative AI search) is an optional add-on for PR and content placement.
Do you offer local SEO and Google Business Profile?
Yes. Local SEO is one of our core services. We optimise your Google Business Profile, build local citations and target the map-pack and near-me searches that send ready-to-buy customers straight to you.
Do you only work with businesses in New Zealand?
No. We're an SEO agency working with businesses across New Zealand, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. We quote and bill in NZD, AUD, USD, GBP and CAD, and the whole thing runs online wherever you are.
Do I need SEO if I already have a website?
Almost certainly. A website nobody can find doesn't bring in customers. SEO connects your site to the people searching for what you do. Even a great-looking site needs SEO to rank, and most have quick wins waiting in their on-page and technical setup.
