Meet the founder
Hi, I'm Jakob. I run SEO Monkey out of Auckland and I do every campaign personally. When you email, you're talking to the person actually moving your rankings, not a salesperson trying to book the next meeting.
That's also why every contract is month to month. If I'm not earning my keep, you walk. No 12-month lock-in, no exit fees, no awkward conversation with a retention team. Just the work, the results, and a monthly invoice you can cancel any time.
Industry data from BrightLocal, Google and ThinkWithGoogle. Not made up.
Plenty of agencies will hand you a colourful PDF full of green arrows and zero new jobs. We do not work that way.
You get a 40-page report full of metrics that mean nothing to your bottom line. Meanwhile your phone still is not ringing.
Long contracts protect the agency, not you. We work month to month because if we are not earning our keep, you should be free to walk.
Vanity metrics like impressions and reach do not pay the rent. We only report on the things that move money: leads, calls, and bookings.
No magic, no hacks, no growth-hacker theatre. Just the same three steps, run properly, every month.
On the free 18-minute call we audit your Google profile, your site, and where you sit vs the local competition. You walk away knowing the one thing to fix first, even if you never hire us.
We send a one-page plan with the work, the timeline, the cost, and what success looks like in 30 days. You sign, we start. No long contracts, no deck full of buzzwords.
Every month you get a plain-English email: leads, calls, rankings, ad spend, what we did, what is next. If the numbers are not moving, we tell you. If they are, you decide what to push harder.
Every engagement starts with a one-page list of deliverables. If we have not shipped that list in the first 30 days, the next invoice doesn't go out until we ship. Ad spend is paid direct to Google or Meta, that's separate.

Businesses ranking in the top 3 local results receive 3x more clicks than those ranked 4th or lower.
76% of people who search for a local business on their phone visit that business within 24 hours.
SEO leads close at a 14.6% rate compared to just 1.7% for outbound marketing like cold calling or print.
“Jakob explained it all so simply like a lightbulb moment. Now I know exactly where my money's going and what it's earning back.”
“Jakob's approach was refreshing. No suit, no lectures, just got the work done. We're showing up #1 on Maps for our suburb.”
Yep. If we don't ship the agreed deliverables in 30 days, your next invoice doesn't go out until we do. You only pay the second month once we've shipped what we agreed. No fine print, no 'must complete onboarding within 24 hours' nonsense.
We're NZ-based, no offshore call centre. You talk to Jakob (the guy doing the work). One flat fee, no surprise add-ons, and you can cancel anytime.
Nope. Month-to-month. We earn the next month by getting you results this month.
Google Ads + Meta: usually within 7-14 days. Local SEO: 60 to 90 days for the big movement. We tell you upfront, no smoke.
We build them too. Mobile-first, fast as hell, and set up to actually convert visitors into bookings.
All of NZ Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, regional towns. SEO doesn't care where your office is.
