A hands-off, fully managed SEO campaign built around your Christchurch business. Every month, the right work gets done - no chasing, no translating jargon, no wondering if anything is happening.
A managed SEO campaign is not a single tactic - it is a sustained, coordinated effort across technical SEO, content, local authority, and off-page signals. Every month builds on the last.
Most Canterbury businesses who come to us have tried SEO before - either doing it themselves, paying a cheap offshore provider, or being locked into an agency retainer that delivered little more than a monthly PDF. A properly managed campaign is fundamentally different because every action is deliberate, every month has a clear priority, and you always know exactly what is being done and why.
We start with a thorough SEO audit to establish your baseline, then build a custom strategy around your specific Canterbury competitors and your actual business goals.
Three campaign tiers built around the scale of your Canterbury business and the intensity of your local competition.
Best for single-operator services and retail
Best for professional services and growing firms
Best for large enterprises and competitive niches
A lot of SEO agencies talk in vague terms about "ongoing optimisation". Here is exactly what a typical month looks like as a Christchurch SEO client.
Review last month's ranking movements and traffic data. Identify which keywords moved, which pages need attention, and what the highest-impact work is for the coming month. Update your GBP with fresh posts and any new photos or offers.
Create or optimise the month's content priorities - service pages, locally-targeted content, FAQ content, or internal linking improvements. Every piece of content is written for real Canterbury customers first, search engines second.
Address any technical issues flagged during the review, monitor Core Web Vitals, continue citation building, and pursue any local backlink or digital PR opportunities identified for the month. Schema markup updates as needed.
Prepare your plain-English monthly report covering what was done, what moved, and what is planned next. No jargon, no inflated metrics - just a frank summary of progress and a clear plan for the coming month.
Having spent 15 years as a tradie dealing with suppliers and contractors, I developed a very low tolerance for vague answers and slow progress. That shapes how I run every client engagement.
If something is not working, I will tell you straight and adjust the strategy. If a competitor outmanoeuvres us on a keyword, I will explain why and what we are doing about it. You will never get a templated report full of green arrows and no substance.
More about how I work →Month-to-month only. If results aren't stacking up, you should be able to leave. That pressure keeps me accountable.
Every piece of work is done by Stu directly. No outsourced content farms, no overseas link builders, no junior staff.
Traffic numbers mean nothing if the phone isn't ringing. Reports focus on ranking movements and lead-generating keywords, not inflated session counts.
Every campaign strategy is built from scratch around your specific business, your specific competitors, and the Canterbury market.
For most Christchurch businesses, you'll see positive ranking movements within the first 3 months - particularly for less competitive long-tail keywords and from Google Business Profile improvements. More competitive keywords targeting the main Christchurch market typically take 6-12 months to secure strong positions. The compounding nature of SEO means results tend to accelerate significantly in months 6-12 as authority builds.
There is no minimum lock-in period - all engagements are month-to-month. That said, SEO is a long-term investment and you will get the best results by committing to at least 6 months. Stopping a campaign too early is like training for a marathon and pulling out at week 8 - you've done the hard work but haven't seen the return yet.
The right tier depends on the current state of your website, the competitiveness of your local market, and how aggressively you want to grow. The free audit gives us both a clear picture of where you stand, what needs to be done, and which tier makes sense for your situation. Most Christchurch businesses in competitive service categories end up on the Growth Pack.
Absolutely - and many Canterbury businesses do. Google Ads provides immediate lead flow while the SEO campaign builds organic authority in the background. As organic rankings improve over 6-12 months, many clients choose to reduce their Ads spend as SEO covers more of their lead generation at a lower cost per lead.
Very little. Access to your Google Business Profile, your website backend, and your Google Search Console account is all that's needed to get started. If any of these aren't set up, that becomes part of the initial work. The free audit covers everything we need to scope the campaign before you commit to anything.
