SEO That Still Pays the Bills, Built for the AI Era
Google rankings still drive the majority of commercial traffic in New Zealand. I've been running SEO retainers since 2006. The difference now is that every hour of SEO work is engineered to build your AI visibility too.
Why SEO built for both engines outperforms SEO built for one
Most SEO work in this market still does what worked in 2020: keywords, links, monthly reports. That still matters, but Google itself has changed. AI Overviews sit above the rankings, and the same content decisions that win a ranking either help or waste your shot at being cited by AI.
Because AI search is my core focus, every piece of SEO work I do, across content, structure, schema and authority building, is designed to compound across both engines. You pay for one strategy and get visibility in two places.
My client base is long-term retainers, some running for years. That's the model: steady, compounding work, direct access to me, and accountability for actual rankings and revenue rather than activity reports.
What's in a retainer
- Technical SEO: site health, speed, crawlability, indexation
- Keyword and content strategy tied to revenue, not volume
- On-page optimisation, structured for AI extraction
- Local SEO: Google Business Profile, local citations, Auckland and NZ visibility
- Authority building: links and mentions that also feed LLM trust
- Monthly reporting: rankings, traffic, leads, and AI visibility movement
Every SEO deliverable now does double duty
Content
Written to rank in Google and structured so AI models can extract and cite it: direct answers, clear entities, demonstrated expertise.
Schema & Structure
Structured data that earns rich results in Google and gives LLMs an unambiguous picture of your business, services and service area.
Authority
Links and citations selected for the sources AI models actually trust, so authority built for Google also builds AI recommendation confidence.
