Getting found is only half of it
We're a digital marketing agency based in Whangarei, and we've been doing this since 2002 for businesses across Northland and the rest of New Zealand. SEO, AI search, Google Ads, social, email and the analytics behind all of it are handled by the same team here, and when we report back we talk about the enquiries and sales you got rather than how many people saw something.
When marketing isn't working, the reason is usually pretty mundane. Often the tracking was never set up properly so nobody can tell what's working, or the ads are pointing at a page that was never built to convert, or the SEO is chasing terms that hardly anyone searches for. So we start by working out which of those is true for you, and then we go and fix whatever is actually costing you money rather than whatever would look best in a report.
One advantage of designing and building the websites ourselves is that we can fix where the traffic lands, not just the traffic. That turns out to matter a lot, because sending twice as many people to a page that isn't converting won't get you twice the enquiries. It just costs you twice as much to be disappointed.
We handle the technical fixes, the content and the site structure that get you ranking for the terms your customers are genuinely typing, whether that's local searches around Whangarei and Northland or national ones.
Being findable isn't enough when the answer comes from an AI. We make your business quotable by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. See how our AI search audits work.
Search, Shopping, Display and Performance Max, built around the terms that convert and pruned of the ones that quietly drain budget.
Meta, Instagram and LinkedIn campaigns with proper audience targeting and creative that suits the platform rather than a resized print ad.
Newsletters, abandoned cart flows, win-backs and post-purchase sequences, which between them are usually the cheapest revenue available to a business that already has customers on its list.
Social creative, ad sets, video and photography, all made for the platform they're going to run on instead of being resized from something built for print.
Writing that answers real customer questions, which is what earns rankings, citations in AI answers, and trust from the person reading it.
GA4, conversion tracking and call tracking set up so the numbers can be trusted, then reported monthly in language you can act on.
Working out where the budget should go and why. Sometimes the honest answer is that you should spend less on ads and fix the website first, and we'd rather tell you that than take the money.
A selection of the businesses we run marketing for. See all our work.
We go through the site, the tracking, the rankings and the ad accounts before proposing anything, and about half the time the biggest available win turns out to be something that's simply broken.
We agree on an actual number up front, whether that's more qualified enquiries, more online orders or a lower cost per lead, and if something can't be measured then we won't claim credit for it later.
Delivery in priority order, biggest impact first, with the website and the marketing handled by the same team so nothing falls between them.
Every month you get a report in plain English covering what we did, what came of it and what we're changing next, so you always know what you're paying for.
It gets the right people to your website and turns more of them into customers. In practice that means search engine optimisation, paid advertising on Google and social platforms, email marketing, content, and the tracking that shows which of those is working.
It depends on scope, but most of our clients sit on a monthly retainer covering strategy, delivery and reporting, with ad spend paid separately and directly to the platform. We scope the work to what the business can realistically act on rather than selling a fixed package.
Technical fixes and on-page work can move rankings within a few weeks. Meaningful, durable gains in competitive terms usually take three to six months. Anyone promising page one in a fortnight is either buying ads or guessing.
Yes. We are based at the Town Basin in Whangarei and work with clients throughout Northland, Auckland and the rest of New Zealand, as well as in Australia, the USA and Canada.
People increasingly ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews for recommendations instead of scrolling a results page. AI search optimisation makes your business the one those tools name. If your customers research online before buying, it matters now rather than later.
Yes, and they work better together. Paid search tells you within days which terms convert, which is exactly the evidence you want before committing months of SEO effort to them.
A monthly report in plain English covering what we did, what it produced, and what we are doing next. Enquiries, calls and sales where we can track them, not just impressions and rankings.
