Get found on Google Maps by customers near you
We fix your Google Business Profile and website so local customers call you, not the business down the road.
Why you're not in the top 3
Most customers searching on their phone never scroll past the three businesses shown in the Google map. If you are fourth or lower, you are practically invisible.
Usually, your work is not the problem. It comes down to a handful of straightforward, fixable factors: the wrong primary category, too few recent reviews, or a website that does not back up your profile to Google's ranking algorithm.

Common questions about Google Maps ranking
Direct, honest answers to what Kiwi business owners ask us most.
How long does it take to rank on Google Maps in New Zealand?
Most local NZ businesses see noticeable movement within 3 to 8 weeks after fixing primary categories, addressing profile suspension risks, and correcting website schema. Highly competitive areas (e.g. Auckland plumbers or lawyers) take 3 to 6 months of steady review acquisition and citation signals to secure top 3 positions.
Do I need a website if I only want Google Maps rankings?
Yes. Google uses your website's speed, LocalBusiness structured data, and service area content to confirm what your business does and where you operate. A fast website that matches your Google Business Profile is one of the strongest ranking signals for local search.
Can you guarantee a top 3 ranking on Google?
No, and any agency that promises a guaranteed ranking is misleading you. Google explicitly states that no one can guarantee a #1 position. We use proven, compliant optimization methods that give your business the strongest possible mathematical advantage to rank and stay there.
How much does local SEO cost in New Zealand?
In New Zealand, legitimate local SEO and Google Business Profile optimization typically ranges between $450 and $1,200 NZD per month depending on your market competition and service area size. We provide exact, fixed pricing in your free visibility report with no lock-in contracts.
