    The Complete Guide to SEO Services and Prices in 2025

    When you want to drive long term website traffic, reach a larger audience and generate more leads/sales, search engine optimisation (SEO) is the perfect strategy. SEO is not a one-size-fits-all service because businesses differ in their needs (immediate results vs long term) and their marketing sophistication (how many different types of marketing you do each month) as well as marketing budgets (how much should you spend on marketing?).

    SEO is a specialist skill – yes you can learn how to do it yourself (Google offers free training courses) yet hiring an expert will get you results faster and without the rookie mistakes. It’s also a fast-moving discipline with new techniques being introduced regularly. The most recent is GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) – which ensures AI tools like ChatGPT and Google AI cite your content as sources – read the numero® ebook on this.

    When you want to hire an SEO agency, you need to know how much SEO costs and what you get for your money.

    In this post, we will help you to understand the cost of SEO so you clearly know how much to pay when you hire a professional SEO agency such as Numero.

    Let’s explore some numbers.

    Read on for in-depth information or call us at 09 390 3997 to discuss your unique requirements with an SEO specialist.

    How Much Does Business SEO Cost?

    The average cost of search engine optimisation in New Zealand is $1,850 to $6,000 per month. This covers micro businesses (1-3 people) up to medium sized businesses (20+ people). For one-off SEO projects, the cost can range anywhere between $5,000 to $25,000 depending on the size of the job and the specific details.

    Small businesses can expect to pay an $150 to $300 an hour for SEO services.

    What Affects the Cost of SEO?

    A variety of factors influence the average cost of SEO services such as:

    • The agency’s pricing model (hourly, retainer, length of contract)
    • The agency’s experience (solo freelancer, 2 years experience up to 10 years plus)
    • The goals of your SEO strategy (quick increase in sales leads vs long term web visibility)
    • The timeline of your SEO campaign (3 months versus 18 months plus)
    • The software, tools or resources required (your website has 10 pages or 1000s of pages)

    When looking at SEO costs, it’s important to note that search engine optimisation is a long-term investment. SEO does not produce instant results. By investing in a well-designed SEO strategy, you are improving the visibility of your website, which will drive more traffic, leads and sales for your business.

    In comparison to other online marketing strategies such as social media marketing and PPC, SEO will deliver powerful results for your business over the long-term. It will keep delivering a high ROI week after week whereas PPC will stop delivering results the moment you stop paying for the advertising campaign.

    When comparing the costs of SEO, look for an experienced SEO agency rather than searching for the cheapest service. Low-cost SEO will not do your business any good. It will cause harm if shortcuts, link farms and other “black hat” SEO techniques are used. This will get your website in trouble, and attracting Google penalties and instant removal from search results. If you aren’t expert in SEO you will find it hard to spot this malpractice happening until it’s too late and Google has penalised your website removing it from search results.

    How Much Does SEO Cost Per Project, Month and Hour?

    SEO agencies price their services differently, and no two companies will quote the same rate. Your business model, company size and SEO requirements will determine the size and scope of your SEO strategy and how much it will cost you. If you have already done a lot of website SEO and want to maintain your keyword prominence or add a new service line the costs will be lower than if you have done no SEO in the past.

    But there are some basic pricing models that a lot of SEO companies and consultants lean on to price their SEO services. These include hourly, monthly and project-based. Let’s take a look at the average cost of SEO services under each of these pricing models:

    • Cost of Hourly SEO Services

    Freelance SEO consultants typically charge by the hour, and the costs can range from $30 to $400 per hour. Most clients spend anywhere from $80 to $250 an hour, depending on whether they hire a freelancer or a small team and whether the SEO expert is a newcomer or has years of experience in SEO.

    • Cost of Monthly SEO Services

    This is the best option for business that understand ongoing SEO investment.

    Monthly SEO plans can start from as low as $850 per month (as part of a basic plan, your SEO agency will carry out basic SEO tasks on your website. This includes keyword research, technical website SEO, copywriting and on-page SEO. Monthly plans can go as high as $6,000 a month or more (where the agency will create high-quality content and outreach to your website to build back links).

    Most business find a middle ground and invest anywhere from $1,750 to $2,500 a month for a customised SEO campaign tailored to their requirements.

    • Cost of Project-Based SEO Services

    Although this model is not very common, businesses do hire an SEO agency to carry out extensive work for a specific campaign or project. One example can be rescuing your website after suffering Google penalties. Getting penalised is usually the result of poor practice SEO and black hat techniques. Because the requirements of a project depends on the needs of a campaign and the company, it is not easy to provide an estimate and the prices could range from $5,000 to $25,000 and more. The final cost will depend on the scope of the project, time frame and the level of experience of the agency.

    What Does numero’s SEO Service Cover?

    A big reason why there’s no standard rate for SEO is that the services vary from agency to agency. The cheapest SEO services offer keyword research and inserting these into your website. This is very basic. The more sophisticated SEO services include link building, SEO for AI artificial intelligence and GEO. A fully integrated digital marketing service blends SEO with advertising and other services. numero® offers “blended” marketing across all performance marketing services.

  • GEO, AEO and SEO: appear everywhere your clients are looking in 2025

    GEO, AEO and SEO: appear everywhere your clients are looking in 2025

    Since Google came on the scene in 1991 we Kiwis have trained ourselves to use Google to answer questions on life, love and business. Over 91.7% of us only use Google for online search (April 2025 data) compared to Bing 5.2% and Yahoo 1%. The training data we’ve created by being such heavy users has made Google a very successful and valuable business.

    Enter artificial intelligence and suddenly the world of search is changing. Generative Experience Optimisation (GEO) is the term used for the process of encouraging AI agents like ChatGPT, Grok or Gemini to use your website content as a source for their synthesised answers to search queries.

    Download an ebook of this article.

    TL:DR

    Search is evolving beyond traditional Google results. Whilst most Kiwis still use Google, AI-powered search results are now appearing at the top of pages, offering complete answers without requiring clicks through to websites.

    Three key optimisation strategies you need:

    • SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) – Gets your business found in traditional search results
    • AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) – Helps you appear in featured snippets and answer boxes
    • GEO (Generative Experience Optimisation) – Ensures AI tools like ChatGPT and Google AI cite your content as sources

    The shift matters because: AI search results get prime real estate at the top of pages with no adverts, and they’re becoming the preferred way people find information. These “zero-click searches” mean users get answers without visiting your website.

    What to do: Start with quality content that answers questions directly, use clear headings and FAQ sections, write conversationally (as if speaking to a friend), and structure your content so both humans and AI can easily understand it. Most tactics that work for traditional SEO also benefit AI optimisation.

    Bottom line: Businesses that optimise for all three approaches now will have a competitive advantage as AI search adoption accelerates throughout 2025.

    Want to jump ahead? Skip to quick links

    Table of Contents

    Want to jump ahead? Skip to quick links

    Businesses use search engine optimisation (SEO) to align website content with search phrases on Google. Now we need our websites to also show up in artificial intelligence search (GEO) – in Google AI search results. 

    It’s a whole different ballgame – an audience of computers rather than humans. AI agents and LLMs try to synthesise “answers” rather than showing web links for you to click through and read. These AI search results are based on utility or usefulness. They use contextual relevance in order to try to solve the user’s needs as interpreted from the tone of voice, phrases and sentiment used to write the search prompt. Unlike SEO, these AI answers are not driving web traffic because they present a complete answer and often don’t include links.

    At the time of writing (June 2025) the AI search results are getting prioritised by all the search engines. These results are highly visible, top of page and are unsullied by adverts. Let’s take a look.

    The rest of this article is going to give you actionable strategies and tools to start making this change. If you want to skip ahead, here are the key sections:

    Same search: Different results

    It’s easier to explain the differences between Search Engine Optimisation SEO, Answer Engine Optimisation AEO and Generative Experience Optimisation GEO by seeing the search results delivered by each. 

    I typed this search “When did SEO become a marketing tactic?”. The results and the sources used in the results are different. Why? 

    Each search technique has different goals – SEO enables your business to get found, whereas AEO is about being understood, and GEO builds trust as a source used by AI platforms. Together, they make a future-ready digital strategy for your business website.

    Compare these screenshots from a SEO result, an AEO featured snippet result, and an AI GEO result.

    SEO Result – three websites showing title tag of the site, title of the page, meta description of 150-160 characters and URL.

    AEO Result – this featured snippet can have variable length answers from 40 to 60 words and a date for the answer (helpful when recency matters). It’s one type of “answer box” search result and importantly, in this case it also includes the source URL immediately below. When you click through the page highlights text copied to form the AEO result. Note that sites appearing in featured snippets are not included in the 10 natural search results below.

    AEO click source page result showing highlighted text.

    GEO Result – Flagged as an AI overview, this is the GEO search result including two source websites on the right hand side (I put the red box around it). You can see how it no longer copies text from the source websites and instead summarises into full sentences. The tiny grey link circle at the bottom provides the source link and the reminder “AI responses may include mistakes”.

    Notice that there’s no clutter in the AI result? There are no video or image search results; no paid search listings appearing above the natural search results. Draws the eye doesn’t it? Rather like Google’s home page – a lot of white space.

    And this reinforces the recent growth in Zero Click Searches – where the answer is displayed and you don’t need to click to a website to read more. 

    Call me cynical, but it’s as if the tech giants want to train us to use AI.

    They do. You’re right, I am a skeptic. 

    Now is the time to take action and realign your website to cover SEO, AEO and GEO, before the near-inevitable enshittification of the AI search results kicks in.

    Definitions of SEO AEO and GEO

    GEO is Generative Experience Optimisation and it has been active since the mid 2020s

    Optimising web content to be effectively utilised by generative AI models, ensuring it is structured, contextually rich, and easily interpretable for AI-generated outputs,

    What a mouthful. A word of warning – many web articles reference Geographic Engine Optimisation as GEO. This is about optimising for local marketing and is not what we’re working on here. There’s a lot of confusion here and here where the writer talks about search for AI results and then describes local search as the example – they aren’t talking about generative experience optimisation.

    Now let’s look at definitions of its two predecessors AEO and SEO.

    Answer Engine Optimisation started around 2018 and is 

    The process of optimising content to be featured in search engine answer boxes by providing clear, concise and structured responses to common user queries,

    Search Engine Optimisation began from the late 1990s, when search engines became popular and so marketers wanted their web sites showing up in the search results on page one. SEO is 

    The practice of optimising a website to improve its visibility in search engine results thereby increasing organic traffic through techniques like keyword optimisation, content quality and backlinking.

    No clearer? 

    Let’s dive into the outcomes you may want as a business and then we can work out whether GEO, AEO or SEO is better related to your needs, You may need all three! 

    Key features of GEO generative experience optimisation

    Appearing in AI answers means your source website pages have to be optimised to enable easy retrieval and summarisation by AI systems. Because AI uses natural language (how people speak) you will need to write your source pages as if you were speaking. Further, AI answers are not just about answering questions – it’s moved on from voice search results which were also based in natural language.
     
    The AI sounds much more chatty; the November 2022 ChatGPT training model launch described itself as conversational AI.

    What works for all SEO, AEO and GEO

    Fortunately there are some common underpinnings of all three search optimisation methods which everyone should implement on their business website. If you already know how to do this for SEO or AEO, you’ll find that the same technique works for Generative Engine Optimisation.

    If you are just getting started, these are your first six tasks.

    1. High quality website content

      Relevance and value – good information that actually answers user questions, that showcases your expertise and provides actionable insights will continue to do well. It must be aligned with your target audience.
      Clarity and simplicity – write to your lowest common denominator audience who may be non-native English speakers (of which there are many in New Zealand). Use language that a 12 year old can understand with short sentences, few three-syllable words, clear explanations and case study examples.
    2. Keyword optimisation

      Research and integration – make sure that you’re up to date with relevant keywords, the Domain Rating (DR) score of your competitors and don’t forget to include keywords throughout headings, subheadings and body text.
      Semantic richness – writing with synonyms and antonyms are good ways to provide case study examples of what not to do as well as covering off a range of relevant and related keywords for your business niche. These allow you to become the best answer for a wider range of queries, prompts and questions and to give examples which deepen the contextual richness of your content.
    3. Structured data

      Schema markup – no surprises here, website schema markup is essential for any search optimisation. Different types of schema markup are used for ecommerce product snippets, articles, local businesses, and reviews. Use Google’s markup helper tool
      Metadata – same as the answer above, you must use heading hierarchies in a systematic way and include meta descriptions that accurately align with your website topic.
    4. Content structure

      Headings and subheadings aren’t just for structured data, they help organise the sequence of information in your writing. Including Heading tags in metadata simplifies data extraction and learning by AI agents as well.
      Bullet points and lists serve a similar purpose for both human readers and AI. Your ability to organise the article helps humans skim read and jump to the section they need to read.
    5. User engagement

      Interactive elements – use a diverse range of techniques like comments and “click to share” snippets which can easily be sent and shared to public social media sites or dark social sharing (private groups or through messaging apps).
      Feedback loops involve continually updating your article as the landscape changes or new AI search practices emerge. There really is a benefit of being the first to answer and update your article.

    6. Comprehensive coverage

      Depth of information continues to be key so that the AI GEO will deliver high-level results as well as taking your explanations and case studies as source inputs for detailed answers which they give users. Remember that some AI platforms include web links to their sources and some do not. I have not listed these because each new software release changes the landscape – do your own research!
      Updates and accuracy – keep improving your content. Based on your business a well-rounded content marketing plan will include “cornerstone content” that align with your primary keywords, audience top of funnel (TOF) pages and are destinations for paid search. Mutual reinforcement helps to keep your best pages at the top of search rankings for the long term. Remember the pareto principle (80:20 rule) supports best practice SEO and content marketing.

    Unique tactics for GEO

    1. Clear and structured content.

      Simplicity – write using clear language that’s easy for AI to summarise (parse), understand and reproduce in short sentences. Avoid complex, long sentences and jargon. Check your work by reading it out loud as if you were talking to a friend or teaching a class.
      Structure – use H1 headings, sub-headings (H2-H6 tags), bold text, bullet points and numbered lists to organise your content so it’s logical and sequential. This aids data extraction by AI.

    2. Semantic richness.

      Contextual information – explain the background and context to your topic so that AI understands the nuances of your text. Remember that diverse media types can help readers who prefer images, infographics or video results to also find your website through search. 
      Synonyms and variations – this enables a range of keywords so that your text shows up as an answer in a broader range of queries. It’ll improve your chances of being selected as relevant.

    3. Question/answer and FAQ formats

      Pairs of questions and answers – this structure makes it easier for AI to identify both questions and answers. 
      Frequently asked questions are a worthwhile section to include so that direct answers can be retrieved and matched against search queries by AI agents.

    4. Metadata and schema markup

      Schema markup tools structure your content so that AI can assess context and relevance.
      Metadata fields should be accurate and reflect the rest of the content and keywords.

    5. Comprehensive content

      Depth of information is rewarded by AI systems so that answers are deep, relevant and can provide answers for both an initial response and more detailed AI prompts. 
      Updates and accuracy based on dates and recency are increasingly important for relevancy and reliability as source answers for AI.

    6. Engagement and feedback

      User engagement continues to be an important signal for good quality search results. So any review, comment or social media sharing enhances your GEO. If you can also include checklists, quiz, polls these are additional data points which generative LLMs use as quality scores.
      Feedback loops from reader answers enable you to continuously update and improve the source article content.

    AFTER Page Title: Will a Cold Air Intake Void My Car Warranty in New Zealand? – Kiwi Performance Parts

    Content:

    Installing a cold air intake in New Zealand may affect your warranty, but it won’t automatically void it entirely. Here’s what you need to know:

    Consumer Guarantees Act Protection:

    Under New Zealand’s Consumer Guarantees Act, dealers cannot void your entire warranty due to aftermarket modifications unless they can prove the modification directly caused the specific failure.

    What Dealers Can and Cannot Do:

    – Can refuse warranty claims: If the cold air intake caused the specific problem (e.g., water damage from poor installation)
    – Cannot void entire warranty: Unrelated systems (brakes, transmission) must still be covered
    – Must prove causation: Dealer must demonstrate how your modification caused the specific failure

    Documentation Requirements:

    Keep receipts and installation records. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic strengthens your position if warranty issues arise….. Read the full case study.

    Which search strategy is best for me?

    Your business will need to agree on a strategy that aligns with what you sell, who you sell it to and where they are located. 

    Below we share scenarios for each of the 3 search best practices and common errors to avoid. To use this information you should decide if that scenario applies to your business products or services, your type of customers and the location of the customer base. If the answer is yes to all three, you’ve got your answer about whether this is a relevant strategy.

    Don’t expect perfect alignment with your unique situation – and if you’d like help, book a call with the Numero expert team [LINK]. We will help validate your choice to get the right mix of performance marketing to suit your sales and lead generation goals.

    Three solid use cases

    • Use SEO for stable, keyword driven traffic (e-commerce retail, brand names, localised content, Google Business Profile (GBP) optimisation, news publishers, B2B lead generation)
    • Use AEO if your niche has customers who ask quick questions (health, DIY or personal finance)
    • Use GEO when your audience relies on AI tools for research (tech, travel, SaaS, and education)

    Case studies of best practice 

    Search Engine Optimisation is best used by businesses who want to increase their online visibility and attract a broad audience using organic search traffic. When search includes keywords such as your business name, the brands you sell (Nike Air shoes), or local geographic optimisation words (Post Office near me) these are “static” keywords. They don’t change over time – your business location, the name of your business and the brands you sell are constants for your search marketing work. 

    A local bakery can optimise its website using keywords which respond to searches like

    • Best Bakery in Porirua
    • Artisan Bread wholesale
    • Gluten Free baking ingredient shop
    • Custom birthday cakes


    When NOT to use SEO marketing. If your business relies on direct sales and in-person visits serving a niche, local customer base who does not use the internet. 

    Answer Engine Optimisation answers questions really well. So your content which has question/answer pairs and frequently asked questions (FAQs) as well as detailed “how to” guides will serve you well. 

    A tech startup with a complex software solution needs to use education-led marketing to showcase its solutions to prospective customers using quick answers to common technical questions, 

    • A comprehensive FAQ section on the website backed with schema markup
    • Written in natural language and optimised for voice search for top of funnel (TOF) and middle of funnel (MOF) sales stages
    • Concise, informational content with links to deeper, more explanatory answers.
    • Adding an AI chat bot, an AI tech support or sales team chat function to drive website visitor engagement.


    When NOT to use AEO marketing. Your business has a highly technical or complex product that requires customisation and detailed explanations as part of the sales process and these cannot be easily summarised into short answers. 

    Generative Experience Optimisation works best where both the business and their target audience use AI and know that this is where their search results must feature to kickstart prospect engagement.

    A travel agency uses GEO to optimise its content articles about travel packages and guided tours to overseas countries favoured by New Zealanders.

    • The website content is structured for local search which aligns with the agency’s known customer preferences 
    • Flight departures from New Zealand airports are prioritised to demonstrate relevancy
    • Showcasing travel guides, recommended itineraries and FAQs on visas and inoculations specific to local clients.


    When NOT to use GEO marketing. If your business prioritises human interaction and personalised customer service to achieve sales, the human touch does not translate well into AI search results. 

    Q&A on differences and similarities between SEO, AEO and GEO

    Q: Do I need to choose between SEO, AEO and GEO, or can I use all three?

    A: You don’t need to choose – in fact, most businesses benefit from using all three strategies simultaneously. They work together rather than competing against each other. The foundational work you do for SEO (quality content, structured data, keyword optimisation) also supports AEO and GEO. Think of it as building layers: SEO forms your base, AEO helps you capture featured snippets, and GEO ensures you appear in AI-generated answers.

    Q: How much time should I spend on GEO versus traditional SEO?

    A: This depends on your audience and industry. If your customers are early adopters of AI tools (tech, education, research-heavy sectors), allocate 30-40% of your effort to GEO. For traditional industries or local businesses, maintain 70% focus on SEO whilst gradually incorporating GEO principles. The beauty is that good GEO practices often improve your SEO as well.

    Q: Will GEO eventually replace SEO entirely?

    A: Unlikely in the near term. Whilst AI search results are more prominent on Google, traditional search results still drive significant traffic and conversions. However, the landscape is shifting rapidly. Since the start of 2025, we’re seeing AI overviews appear for more query types, so businesses that start optimising for GEO now will have a competitive advantage as adoption grows.

    Q: How do I know if my GEO efforts are working?

    A: Currently, measuring GEO success is challenging because traditional analytics don’t track AI-generated citations well. Look for:

    • Increases in direct traffic (people finding you through AI, then visiting directly)
    • Brand mention tracking across AI platforms
    • Monitoring when your content appears in AI overviews for your target keywords and unique key phrases (e.g. long tail key phrases, registered trademarks)
    • Engagement metrics on pages optimised for GEO. New tools are emerging to help track this – the measurement landscape will improve significantly over the next year. We recommend using AH Refs Brand Radar as a reliable measurement tool.


    Q: Should I rewrite all my existing content for GEO?

    A: There’s no need to start from scratch. Begin with your highest-performing pages and most important topics. Use the techniques we describe above like adding FAQ sections, simplify complex sentences, and ensure your content answers questions directly. Focus on your cornerstone content first – the pages that drive the most traffic or conversions. You can gradually update other pages over time as resources allow.

    Q: What’s the biggest mistake businesses make with GEO?

    A: Writing for robots instead of humans. Whilst GEO requires AI-friendly formatting, the content still needs to engage real people. Don’t sacrifice readability for the sake of structure. Also, many businesses create content that’s too shallow – AI systems prefer drawing from comprehensive, authoritative answers over brief snippets.

    Q: How is voice search different from GEO?

    A: Voice search and GEO share some similarities (both favour natural language), but they’re distinct. Voice search typically delivers single, quick answers, whilst GEO can provide more comprehensive responses that synthesise an answer from multiple source websites. GEO also appears in text-based AI platforms, not just voice assistants. However, optimising for one can benefit the other.

    Q: Do I need technical expertise to implement GEO?

    A: Basic GEO improvements (clearer writing, FAQ sections, better semantic structure) can be implemented by anyone with content creation skills. However, advanced techniques like schema markup and comprehensive technical optimisation benefit from SEO expertise. Start with content fundamentals – clear, conversational content that directly answers questions – before moving to technical implementations. 

    Q: Will paid advertising become less effective as AI search grows?

    A: Paid advertising will continue to evolve rather than disappear. We’re already seeing AI platforms experiment with sponsored content and AI-generated ad copy. However, the traditional pay-per-click model may shift towards pay-for-mention or pay-for-citation models in AI responses. Businesses should maintain their current paid strategies whilst monitoring how AI platforms develop their advertising offerings.

    Q: How do I optimise for different AI platforms (ChatGPT, Google AI, etc.)?

    A: Focus on universal best practices rather than platform-specific tactics, because the AI landscape changes rapidly. Each time a new version of an AI platform is released, they may be using different training data. As different AI platforms have varying source preferences, casting a wide net with quality content is more sustainable than trying to game individual systems.

    Q: What are ways for me to target topics?

    A: Topic targeting is a valid marketing strategy that moves your web content away from a reliance on keywords towards topics. Identify detailed topics within the niche which your business serves and solves for. This is a great way to get recognised by search engines as an expert. The more comprehensive you can be, the better as this drives your ranking.

    Q: Can I just write for my website or do I need a content expert?

    A: Content marketing experts and copywriters will never be as knowledgeable as you are about your business, your niche and the detailed knowledge your team has. Where they excel is in writing clearly, explaining detailed concepts so the non-expert can understand and enabling your content to rank in search results. A content marketing expert will be much better at formatting, re-purposing and aligning your content for your target audience and your marketing plan than you can be.

    Q: I’m worried about zero click searches. What can I do about these?

    A: writing your website content to respond to the GEO search results will help with zero click searches. Using your brand and product names within expert web content can enable them to be picked up by GEO results. Remember some AI search engines include web links (others don’t). Brand mentions can include the names of your key staff members as well as product names.

    Ready to get started? Contact our expert SEO team today. [LINK] 

    Q: Should I still worry about my competitors?

    A: Yes, always keep an eye on your top 3-5 competitor brands. Do incognito searches for their AI generated answers. Take note where these overlap with target search queries for your brand. Use these results to double down on your content marketing to counter their ranking results.

    Q: Do E-E-A-T signals still matter?

    A: Absolutely. Google prioritises Experience, Expertise, Authority and Trustworthiness (E-E-A-T) in search result rankings. So continue to build your business’ content marketing in these areas. You could include interviews with subject matter experts from your staff and customers, keep your case studies and testimonials up to date, try doing novel research and don’t forget storytelling as a content marketing tool. The more you can give the reader actionable advice the better and so checklists, case studies and FAQs should be part of your broad content and SEO strategy.

    As with any developing marketing and technology, the detailed topics of the day will evolve – maybe very fast. Checking back regularly is your best defensive marketing strategy for GEO.

    Here is a non-exhaustive list of techniques which Numero is watching closely. We will normally implement new techniques on our own website assets first, but we appreciate working with client partners who also want to stay ahead of their competition and are comfortable with some SEO risk.

    • Deep personalisation – enable content variations for different audience segments
    • Dynamic UX (user experience) based on user behaviours like dwell time or click patterns
    • Predictive search intent modeling to second-guess what trends will rise to popularity and so get ahead of the competition. 
    • Google has SGE Search Generative Experience Insights (SGE) which rank the AI-generated answers. 
    • Expect ever more tools to interpret and summarise your GEO results. We are keeping an eye on MarketMuse, Clearscope and Frase as tools to identify content gaps and semantic keyword opportunities. 


    Numero is already tracking SERP fluctuations – this is where the AI tools evolve and start to serve different answers to the same search strings. Use these as a guide to adjust your existing content to align with the newly prioritised AI answers.

    Website functionality continues to improve and dynamic content tools already exist which show different information to different customers. Working out how the AI tools react to this variability and deliver search results is not yet clear.

    And yes, we’re watching this space and so should you. Stay in touch with us [LINK to contact form or register on our CRM?]

    In summary

    Your approach to modern SEO has to be grounded in a solid marketing strategy which includes content marketing tactics and campaigns within the monthly marketing activities. You will need to keep your web content optimised, website technical optimisation up to date and also track on-site user engagement.

    By starting with expert topic-based content which aligns with your business you will be off to a great start. Keep regularly assessing your results and returning to optimise and improve your cornerstone content as part of your marketing calendar. You will soon be ranking well in AI search from GEO results.

  • SEO Optimisation of Parallax Scrolling Websites

    SEO Optimisation of Parallax Scrolling Websites

    SEO Optimisation of Parallax Scrolling Websites

    Website design and SEO are two things that should go hand-in-hand. In other words, you should not include a design feature on your website unless you consider the implication for SEO. Parallax scrolling is a design feature, so how will it impact the SEO of your website? How can you optimise a parallax scrolling website?

    What is a Parallax Scrolling?

    Parallax scrolling has its origins in video game design. It is a website design technique where the background of the website’s page scrolls slower than the foreground (or content) of the page. So, you could have a background image that will scroll slower than the text on the page.

    The effect is to add depth to the page, making it feel more interactive and making it look almost 3D.

    It is an effect, however, and it can be overwhelming and/or distracting when used in the wrong context or when used too much. When used subtly, however, and when the focus remains on the content of the page rather than letting a design quirk take over, parallax scrolling can enhance a website and make it more memorable and eye-catching.

    The SEO Impact of Parallax Scrolling

    Generally, parallax scrolling is not, in itself, problematic for SEO. The search engine optimisation issues occur in its application.

    There are two ways that website designers use parallax scrolling:

    1. To add a design feature to a page on a website
    2. To make parallax scrolling a central feature of a one-page website

    The first approach is the least problematic. So long as the website has a good SEO architecture, the addition of a parallax scrolling feature to a page will have minimal impact on search engine ranking, although you do need to consider site speed – see below.

    Big problems arise, however, when you use parallax scrolling on one-page websites. The issue isn’t necessarily with the parallax scrolling feature but, with the fact the website has a one-page design.

    We’ll come to the issue of one-page parallax scrolling websites in a moment, but there is an important factor to point out for any parallax scrolling element on a website, even if it’s a design feature on a single page of a multi-page website – speed.

    Website Speed and Parallax Scrolling

    Parallax scrolling will slow down your website – it really is as simple as that. This could impact the SEO of your website, particularly if you already have speed issues.

    Where the problem of speed is most acute, however, is on the mobile version of your website. Parallax scrolling can slow down websites viewed on phones considerably, so you should think carefully before adding it.

    One helpful approach is to remove the parallax scrolling effect for anyone viewing your website on a mobile device.

    Why Parallax Scrolling is So Popular on One-Page Websites

    Back to one-page websites and why parallax scrolling is so popular.

    One-page website design is a design approach favoured by some for its minimalist style. You need to overcome the issue of having one long page of content, however. How do you stop the page from becoming boring?

    The solution that many website designers turn to is parallax scrolling. Parallax scrolling helps to break up content and grab the attention of visitors with visual uniqueness.

    In other words, it can be the difference between a one-page website design that is flat, uninspiring, and boring, and a website that works and visitors love (notwithstanding the speed caveat mentioned above).

    What’s the Problem with One-Page Websites?

    Parallax scrolling can make one-page websites work from a user’s perspective, but single page websites are problematic for SEO. This is because Google views them as one-page websites. While you might think that’s the whole point, this is not what search engines want.

    Instead, search engines want each section of your website (i.e. each section of your one-page website design) to have its own page and information. This helps give Google a better understanding of the content on the page and where it fits into its search results.

    So, to get the best results, you should abandon the idea of a one-page website altogether, giving your website a multi-page site architecture instead. You can then add the parallax scrolling design feature to individual pages wherever you think it will enhance the user experience.

    What If You Want to Stick with a One-Page Design?

    What if you want to stick with a one-page design that uses parallax scrolling? This approach will never be as good as having multiple pages, but there are some things you can do to improve the SEO of your site.

    While you won’t have multiple pages on a one-page website, you will have sections of content. This could be About Us, Services, Contact, etc. Most one-page websites have a menu that lets users jump to these specific sections on the page.

    Google doesn’t treat the links to these sections as separate URLs, but you can use workarounds. Specifically, you can use code that makes your website appear to Google as multiple pages with each page having its own unique content, page title, and meta description.

    This will enable Google to more effectively index your website which, in turn, helps ensure your website appears on searches for crucial keywords.

    The way to achieve this is to use Google’s guidelines for pages with infinite scroll. Infinite scroll pages and one-page websites with parallax scrolling are different, but the solution for infinite scrolling pages will optimise your site for Google search.

    Importantly, it will improve the SEO of your website while maintaining the one-page design for users. Therefore, you get the design features you want – one-page design with parallax scrolling functionality – while ensuring your site has the SEO structure it needs.

    Final Thought – Analytics

    The above solution doesn’t solve all the issues that exist with one-page websites that have parallax scrolling. The biggest is the problem of analytics.

    The analytics data you get from a one-page website is restricted to a single page. This means you can’t drill into the performance of each section of your website. Chunking your one-page website into different sections for SEO will not change that.

    Summary

    In summary, many people like the parallax scrolling feature, but it does have implications for SEO. Make sure you take the necessary steps to optimise your site if you choose to implement parallax scrolling.

    The analytics data you get from a one-page website is restricted to a single page. This means you can’t drill into the performance of each section of your website. You don’t know how many people clicked on each product or service section. Chunking your one-page website into different sections for SEO will not change that. This is a huge limitation for modern digital marketing and advertising. If you have an advert for one of your services, the destination URL will be the same as an advert for your contact us or about page. Not a good customer experience and likely to waste marketing dollars.

  • Three Ways SEO Experts In NZ Can Help Your Business

    Three Ways SEO Experts In NZ Can Help Your Business

    The whole point of having a website is to showcase your brand, your organisation, your products or services and generally to present yourself in such a way as to generate more business and increase your bottom line.

    To ensure you get the best value for your website spend, you are well-advised to hire the services of SEO experts in NZ. Read more about why you need SEO experts in NZ to increase traffic to your website.

    Optimising Your Website To Build Your Brand

    The main aim of SEO is to increase your website’s rankings in search engine searches.  The purpose of obtaining these high rankings is to attract more traffic and, in an ideal situation, to convert the traffic into leads and then into sales.

    A further spin-off of this is brand-building.  While most would consider establishing and building a brand to be more part of your traditional marketing strategy, it can certainly be assisted by increased traffic.  Remember that brand-building revolves around two key concepts: displaying your product or service and influencing how people feel and think about what you provide.

    So in an SEO strategy, it is all about the content you provide and influencing how people feel and think about this content.  SEO experts in NZ can help you build the trust and credibility you need to achieve this.

    SEO Experts In NZ Can Boost Organic Traffic 

    Organic traffic is when visitors arrive at your website from unpaid sources, not from paid advertising.  By employing SEO tactics, it is possible to rank higher in search engine searches and increase your organic traffic.

    This is important because organic traffic is targeted.  The visitor to your website that arrived from a search engine’s organic results is looking for something particular.  You now have the opportunity to provide them with a product, solution or answer and thereby convert that lead into a sale.

    SEO Helps To Keep You Ahead Of Your Competitors

    Not only does SEO help to improve your rankings on search engine searches, but it also helps to give you better rankings than your competitors.  Statistics show that the top three organic search results receive more than two-thirds of a Google search page hits.  Also, the higher the ranking, the higher the number of clicks.  For example, top-ranked pages receive over 35% of clicks, down to 15-18% for second position and only around 10% for third place.  And so the numbers decrease as you go down the list of results.

    The takeaway from this is that you need to get the help of SEO experts in NZ to ensure that you are increasing your rankings and have higher rankings than your competitors.

    As several factors affect the outcomes of SEO efforts, it is best to employ the services of an SEO agency in NZ to undertake your digital marketing campaign. They will design a customised strategy to drive online traffic to your door, tweaking the parameters as necessary.
