SEO Services in Wellington You Can Check
Local SEO, link building and content for Wellington businesses, run from our office in Lower Hutt. 25+ quality links a month, every one listed in your dashboard, from $600 a month ex GST with no lock-in.
An SEO company in Wellington that shows its working.
Most Wellington businesses that have paid for SEO before can tell you what it cost. Far fewer can tell you what was done. Our SEO service is built the other way round: every link we build, every article we publish and every keyword we track sits in your reporting dashboard, so you can check the arithmetic yourself.
The team that runs your SEO also builds the websites, from an office at 22 Downer Street in Hutt Central, Lower Hutt. Those sites score in the high 90s on PageSpeed, so the technical side of SEO is handled in the build, before the first link goes in.
The programme is simple to describe and slow to copy: a fast, well structured site, a Google Business Profile that earns the map result, steady content aimed at the searches your customers really make, and 25+ quality links a month. Rankings follow authority, and authority is built rather than bought.
Local SEO in Wellington starts with the map, not the homepage.
Search "electrician Lower Hutt" or "accountant Thorndon" on a phone and Google answers with a map and three businesses before it shows a single website. That box is the local pack, and for a service business it is where most of the calls come from.
What decides the pack is mostly your Google Business Profile, then the relevance and authority of the website behind it. So that is the order we work in.
Google Business Profile first
The right primary category, service areas that match where you really go, accurate hours and photos of the real premises.
Pages that name the suburbs you cover
A Porirua roofer needs a page Google can match to a search from Johnsonville. We write them, without spinning up thin doorway pages.
Citations that agree with each other
The same name, address and phone number across the directories Google checks, cleaned up in the first months of the programme.
Reviews you earned
A complete, accurate, reviewed profile beats a prettier one nobody has touched since the day it was claimed.
What our SEO services in Wellington include.
Four parts, run together every month. Leave one out and the other three work harder for less.
Technical foundations
Page speed, structure, titles, schema and redirects. If we built your site, this is already done. If we did not, we audit it free and tell you what is holding it back.
A slow page loses the searcher before it has finished loading, whatever its content says.
Link building, 25+ a month
Industry directories, guest articles on real publications, consistent citations and digital PR mentions. White-hat only: no link farms, no private blog networks, no paid schemes.
Every link is listed in your report with its source, authority score and anchor text.
Content that targets real searches
Keyword-led articles published to your site every month, two a week on the AI Blogging plan, reviewed by a person before anything goes live.
Each article links to the service pages you need to rank, so the content pulls its weight.
Answer engine optimisation
More searches now end in an AI answer. We build the structure and citations that get a business named by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, alongside the blue links.
It is the same discipline as SEO, pointed at a newer kind of result.
How long SEO takes in Wellington.
Honestly: slower than ads, then steadier. Here is the usual shape of the first year.
-
1
Months 1 to 3: foundations
Profile and citations cleaned up, listings made consistent and the first authority links placed. Rankings often sit still while the groundwork goes in, and your report shows every link as it lands.
-
2
Months 3 to 6: movement
Domain authority ticks up and mid-tail keywords start to climb, first on the terms with less competition. Most clients see measurable ranking movement inside this window.
-
3
Months 6 to 12: compounding
New pages rank faster because the domain they sit on is already trusted, so every article and service page you add starts further up the results.
-
4
After a year: harder to catch
A competitor who starts a year after you spends that year behind. That is the part of SEO nobody can buy back later.
How competitive SEO is in Wellington.
Competition for most trades and services across greater Wellington and the Kāpiti Coast is thinner than it is in Auckland. Thinner competition means the same programme usually goes further here than in Auckland. We agree the target keywords up front and report movement monthly.
The catch is distance. Google weighs how close a business is to the person searching, so a Hutt Valley firm chasing a search made in the CBD has to make up the gap with relevance and authority. That is exactly what links and well targeted pages do.
A local mix at the foundation
NZ directories, regional listings and local publications carry real weight for local search, so the programme for a Wellington business leans local first.
Wider as authority grows
Relevance beats geography. A link from an international trade publication in your industry can be worth more than a local one, so the mix widens over time.
Movement you can see
Rank tracking sits in the same dashboard as your links and leads, so you can watch the keywords move month by month rather than wait for a quarterly PDF.
What SEO costs, without a sales call.
All prices exclude GST and match the pricing page. Standalone SEO is open term from the start: cancel any time with a month's notice, and the links we have built stay yours. The website packages run for an initial 12 months, then open term.
SEO + Link Building + Auto Blogging
$600/mo25+ white-hat links every month plus SEO articles published automatically, human reviewed. For an existing website.
AI Blogging Only
$199/moTwo keyword-led articles a week published to your site. No link building.
Website + SEO & Blogging
$850/moA new website built free, plus monthly blogging, 25+ links and rank tracking in your dashboard.
Full Digital
$1,100/moWebsite, SEO, blogging and AI-managed Google Ads. One team and one monthly report.
The full breakdown of each package is on the pricing page. The service itself is explained on SEO and link building.
What a working SEO programme looks like.
We publish full case studies only once there is enough trading data to say something honest, which usually means six months.
Possum Boutique
A 300% increase in organic traffic in 6 months on a new Shopify build, with SEO and Google Shopping working together.
The number we agree first
Before any links go in, we pick the measure SEO has to shift. For a trades business it is calls from the local pack. For a professional firm it is qualified enquiries, not raw traffic.
If the number has not moved, we say so and change the plan.
A business like yours
Plenty of clients are happy to have their numbers discussed privately on a call, even when they would rather not be named on a public page.

SEO for businesses across the Wellington region.
One region, several different search markets. What ranks a cafe on Cuba Street will not rank a roofer in Upper Hutt.
Wellington city
Dense and competitive, full of government agencies and the firms that serve them. Searches are short and high value, so the authority bar is higher.
Lower Hutt and Petone
Where our office is. Ranking here is decided mostly in the map pack, so the Google Business Profile, local citations and reviews carry as much weight as the website.
Upper Hutt
Service area setup and review volume matter more here than almost anything on the website itself.
Porirua and Kāpiti
Businesses that rank well at home and disappear in town. A page per area served, backed by links from local sources, is how a Kāpiti business shows up in searches from Wellington city.
Where SEO fits with everything else.

SEO questions
Most clients see measurable ranking movement within 3 to 4 months, first on the terms with less competition, and it compounds from there. A tidy Google Business Profile can move the map result within weeks. A crowded category, or a suburb address chasing a city centre search, takes months of links and pages.
SEO, link building and automatic blogging for an existing website is $600 a month excluding GST, on an open term. Blogging on its own is $199 a month. If you need a new website too, the $850 a month Website + SEO and Blogging package builds the site free. Everything is on the pricing page.
No. SEO and link building are open term from day one: cancel any time with a month's notice. The links we have built stay yours.
Yes. The Google Business Profile is the first thing we work on, because nothing else can put you in the map pack. Then come the suburb pages, consistent citations and the links that close the distance between your address and the searcher.
Answer engine optimisation, or AEO, is the work that gets a business named in AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. It uses the same foundations as SEO: clear structure, accurate facts and citations from sites those engines trust. It is part of our SEO programme rather than a separate bill.
It depends how soon you need enquiries. Ads produce clicks from the day the campaign is approved; SEO usually shows ranking movement within 3 to 4 months, then costs less per lead and keeps working after you stop paying. Most clients run ads while the organic side builds, then rebalance.
