How Much Does SEO Cost in New Zealand? (And What You Actually Get)

We charge a fixed monthly retainer for ongoing SEO services. This gives you predictable costs and ensures consistent effort each month. One-off SEO audits are quoted as a fixed price. We do not charge hourly because SEO requires sustained, strategic effort rather than ad-hoc tasks.

Our monthly SEO retainer includes keyword research and tracking, on-page optimisation, technical SEO fixes, content recommendations, link building, competitor monitoring, and monthly performance reporting. You get a dedicated account manager who explains results in plain English, not jargon.

SEO is a long-term strategy that takes time to show results. Google needs time to recognise and reward the changes we make. A minimum 6-month commitment ensures enough time for our work to compound and deliver meaningful results. Most clients see strong returns by month 4 to 6.

After the initial commitment period, you can cancel with 30 days notice. We do not lock clients into long contracts because we believe our results should earn your continued business. Most clients stay because SEO delivers consistent, measurable returns month after month.

There are no hidden costs. Some projects require a one-off setup fee if significant technical fixes are needed before monthly optimisation can begin. We are transparent about this in our proposal. All prices are plus GST, and your monthly report shows exactly what work was completed.

We track rankings, organic traffic, and leads generated from SEO each month. A typical NZ business spending $2,000 plus GST per month on SEO can expect to generate 20 to 50 additional organic leads per month once rankings are established. At a 20% close rate, that easily covers the investment many times over.
