Need a website too? From $199 with any plan
Because the SEO plan is what makes a site rank, we charge very little for the build when the two go together: a Starter website for $199, a Business website for $349, a redesign for $249, or a Shopify store from $349 with the Ecommerce plan. Each pairs with a plan for 6 months, then it's month-to-month. We host every site for $20 a month, first three months free.
| Build | With an SEO plan | Standalone |
|---|---|---|
| Starter website + Local | $199 | $599 |
| Business website + Growth | $349 | $1,099 |
| Redesign + any plan | $249 | from $899 |
| Starter store + Ecommerce | $349 | $999 |
| Growth store + Ecommerce | $699 | $1,799 |

Why we can charge less and do more
- No account managers: the consultant you talk to does the work
- No city-centre office or sales team to pay for
- Fixed, published scopes, so no time is spent on custom proposals
- Reporting and rank tracking are automated, which frees hours for the work that moves rankings
Low price, not low effort
Some cheap SEO packages are run entirely by software: bulk directory blasts, bought links and generated content, which Google's 2026 spam updates target. The test is not the price. Ask what will be done each month, by whom, and how you'll see it was done. Our answer is the list on each plan above, a shared board showing every task as it's completed, and a free month if anything is missed. Read more in how much SEO costs in New Zealand.
What's never included
- Bought links, private blog networks or link schemes of any kind
- AI-generated content published without a person writing or editing it
- Fake or incentivised reviews, which breach the Fair Trading Act
- Tactics aimed at manipulating AI Overviews or AI Mode citations, now covered by Google's spam policies
- Guarantees of specific rankings, which no honest provider can make
Not sure which plan fits?
Most single-location trades, clinics and local services start on Local. Businesses covering a whole city, or several service lines, usually need Growth. Online stores fit Ecommerce, and national or multi-location brands Scale. The free audit ends with a plan recommendation, and we'll tell you if a cheaper option would do.
Pricing questions
Why are your prices lower than most NZ agencies?
Because our costs are lower, not because we do less of the work that matters. There are no account managers between you and the consultant, no city-centre office, and every plan has a fixed scope, so nothing is spent on custom proposals. We automate reporting and rank tracking, never the writing or the fixes.
Is cheap SEO risky?
It can be, when the low price comes from automation: bulk directory blasts, bought links and generated content, which Google's 2026 spam updates target. Our prices are low because our overheads are, not because software does the work. Every task is done by a person, listed in advance and visible on a shared board, so you can check it was delivered.
What is the Ecommerce plan?
Special pricing for online stores at $449 a month, between Growth and Scale. It includes everything in Growth plus collection content, 20 product rewrites a month, Product and Review structured data, Google Merchant Center feed optimisation, duplicate URL handling and revenue reporting. It also unlocks a Shopify store build from $349.
What is the founding client offer?
Our first $5 clients get a Starter website or Starter store built free with a $6-month SEO plan, and keep their founding price for as long as they stay with us. We ask for an honest written review we can publish, and permission to publish the results as a case study. Once the places are gone, the standard bundled prices apply.
How does the cheap website offer work?
Take any monthly SEO plan for $6 months and we build your website for a fraction of the standalone price: a Starter website for $199, a Business website for $349, a redesign for $249 or a Shopify store from $349. Details are on the website design and development page.
Are prices in NZ dollars and do they include GST?
All prices are in New Zealand dollars. We're an overseas supplier, so no NZ GST is added to our invoices. If your business is GST-registered, check with your accountant whether reverse-charge rules apply to you.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There's no minimum term: give 30 days' notice and you keep everything we've built. We'd still suggest giving SEO three months before judging it, because that's how long most changes take to show in Google.
What is the delivery guarantee?
Each month's tasks are listed in advance on a shared board: pages, posts, citations, links and fixes. If any listed task isn't delivered by the end of the month, you don't pay for that month. It's a guarantee on the work, not on rankings, which no honest provider can guarantee.
How can you offer more than agencies charging much more?
Most of an agency retainer pays for account managers, offices, sales and custom proposals. We have none of those, publish fixed scopes, and automate reporting and rank tracking, so nearly all of your fee goes into the work itself: pages, fixes, Google Business Profile posts, citations and links.
Can I move between plans?
Yes, at the start of any month. Most clients start on Local or Growth and move up as organic enquiries justify the investment.
What happens if I pause?
You keep everything we've built. Rankings generally hold for a while and then slowly erode as competitors keep working; we'll tell you honestly what to expect for your market.
Do you offer Google Ads or web design?
Yes, as separate engagements. Many clients run Google Ads alongside SEO for the first few months, and we build or rebuild websites with SEO designed in from the start.
