Ecommerce SEO plan
The monthly plan that pairs with both stores.
$449 / month
Special ecommerce pricing, between our Growth and Scale plans. No lock-in on its own; 6 months when it unlocks a bundled store price.
- Everything in the Growth SEO plan
- Collection-page content and internal linking
- 20 product titles and descriptions rewritten a month
- Product, Offer and Review structured data
- Google Merchant Center feed optimised
- Duplicate URL, filter and out-of-stock handling
- Revenue reporting, not just rankings
- Day-30 conversion review of product and checkout pages
Shopify's own subscription (from about NZ$48 a month) is paid directly to Shopify, so you own the store outright. Need WooCommerce instead? Same prices, plus Website Care for hosting. The SEO side of running a store is explained on our ecommerce SEO page.
Why a store costs so little with the Ecommerce SEO plan
A new store with no traffic is the most common way ecommerce projects disappoint. Most builders hand over the store at launch, and search traffic is somebody else's problem. We do the opposite: the build fee is small, and our Ecommerce SEO plan at $449 a month does the work that brings in buyers from Google, starting the month you launch.
That plan rewrites 20 products a month, writes collection content, sets up and tunes your Google Shopping feed, handles the duplicate URLs Shopify creates, and reports revenue from organic search rather than rankings. After 6 months, carry on month-to-month or stop. You keep the store either way.

SEO built into every store
Most ecommerce search traffic lands on collection pages, not the homepage. So every store we build has collection pages with real descriptions and internal links, product titles that match how Kiwis search, Product structured data so prices and stock show in Google, and a clean URL structure that avoids the duplicate pages Shopify creates by default.
Once you're live, our ecommerce SEO service, delivered through the Ecommerce plan, keeps building on that.
Why we build on Shopify
Shopify handles hosting, security, updates and checkout, so there's nothing to patch and nothing to break at 2am. It supports New Zealand payment and shipping options and scales from a handful of products to thousands. You pay Shopify's subscription directly, from about NZ$48 a month, so the store is always yours.
Prefer WooCommerce? We build that too, at the same prices, with Website Care covering hosting and updates.

Questions about ecommerce websites
Shopify or WooCommerce: which should I choose?
For most New Zealand stores we recommend Shopify: hosting, security and checkout are handled for you, and it supports NZ payment and shipping options. WooCommerce suits businesses that want everything inside WordPress or need unusual product logic. We build both at the same prices.
How much does Shopify cost each month?
Shopify's Basic plan costs about NZ$48 a month, plus card processing fees and any paid apps you choose. You pay Shopify directly, so the store is always yours.
What is the Ecommerce SEO plan?
Our monthly plan with special pricing for online stores, at $449 a month: everything in the Growth plan 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 pairs with both store packages and unlocks the low build prices.
What happens after the $6 months?
You choose. Carry on with the Ecommerce plan month-to-month, switch to another plan, or stop. All the pages, products and links we've built stay with your store, and the store is yours.
Can you move my existing store to Shopify?
Yes. The Growth store package includes migration from WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace or another Shopify store: products, customers, order history where possible, and 301 redirects from every old product and collection URL so you keep your rankings.
Can I add and edit products myself?
Yes. Every store comes with video training on adding products, running discounts and managing orders.
