Three businesses get the call. The rest get scrolled past.

Search for what you do in Takapuna and Google shows a map with three names on it. Almost nobody looks further. Right now those three are getting your enquiries.

Close is not enough

A lot of businesses share a few blocks around Hurstmere Road and Lake Road. Everyone is close, so being close wins nothing.

A profile that says nothing

The wrong category, no services listed, four old photos. Google cannot rank what it cannot understand.

Reviews that dried up

Google reads how many reviews you have, how recent they are and what they mention. A dozen old ones will not carry you.

What the same work did elsewhere.

All from Google Search Console on live client accounts, no ads counted. I will open any of them on the call if you want to see for yourself.

"I needed to improve my website and rankings by optimising SEO and other services. Jakob explained it all, and it was like a lightbulb moment as he described it in a manner that was easy to understand."

I’m Jakob. I do the SEO myself.

I run SEO Monkey from Beach Road in Campbells Bay, about ten minutes from Takapuna. There is no account manager and no offshore team. The person you talk to is the person moving your rankings.

That matters in a suburb like this one. I know which searches come up Lake Road and which stop at Milford, so your pages are written for how people here actually look for things. Not one page with the suburb name swapped.

Here is what happens when you get in touch.

Three steps. You can stop after the first one and keep the plan.

01

A free 18-minute call

I run your main Takapuna searches before we speak, so the call starts with the actual map and who is on it instead of you.

02

A one-page plan, in writing

The work, the timeline, the flat monthly fee and what success looks like in 30 days. No deck and no surprises.

03

A plain-English report, every month

Where you rank, what moved, what I did and what is next. If the numbers are not moving, I tell you before you have to ask.

Takapuna SEO questions, answered straight.

Can you guarantee the top spot?

No, and nobody honest can. Nobody controls Google, so anyone who guarantees a position is guaranteeing something they do not own. What I guarantee is the work: we agree the deliverables in writing, and if I have not shipped them in the first 30 days, your next invoice waits until I have.

How long does SEO take in Takapuna?

Usually months, not weeks. The Auckland clinic in the numbers above took seven months to go from an average position of 19.5 to 4.9. A less crowded category moves faster. I will give you my honest read on the call, after I have looked at who you are up against.

Do I need a Takapuna address to rank in Takapuna?

For the map results, an address in or near Takapuna helps a lot, because distance is one of the three things Google weighs. If you travel to your customers instead, Takapuna can be set as a service area and the work shifts toward your website pages and your reviews. I will tell you which situation you are in.

What about Milford and Devonport?

The multi-suburb plan covers up to five suburbs, each with its own landing page. For most Takapuna businesses that means Takapuna plus the suburbs their customers already drive in from.

Is Google Ads faster?

Yes. Ads can put you at the top of a Takapuna search this week, and you disappear the day you stop paying. SEO is slower and keeps working. Plenty of businesses run ads while the SEO builds, which is what the Get Leads bundle at $1,497 a month is for.

Be one of the three.

Free 18-minute call. I show you who is in the Takapuna map results for your searches, why they are there, and what it would take to join them. No pitch, no pressure.
