NZ Web Design & SEO Services That Won't Cost The Earth
A website is your digital storefront, working 24/7. When done well, it becomes one of your most influential digital assets. To achieve the best results, it should reflect your brand, include relevant information, be search engine-optimised, and user-friendly.
At Spread The Word, I build affordable, customer-focused websites to generate leads. And as an SEO copywriter, you get persuasive, keyword-rich content for extra visibility.

I design basic websites on Rocketspark, a trusted, easy-to-use platform with excellent customer support (right here in New Zealand). They have a user-friendly dashboard and offer integration with Mailchimp, Google Analytics, Xero, and Elfsight widgets to add extra functionality (reviews, social feeds, etc.).

Simple 3-Step Process
1. Consultation & Brief
After our initial discovery call, we meet or chat to discuss your business needs and strategy. A client brief is an important part of the process.
2. Build & Review
Once the structure and design concept is signed off, I build the custom website. The draft review process includes two sets of revisions.
3. Go-Live
Only when you are 100% happy do we go live with your new website. Training is available if you plan to manage ongoing edits yourself.

Extra Website Pages: Boost Visibility & Engage Customers Longer
Google loves lots of quality content and favours websites that answer online search queries. That's why my content strategy emphasises how you resolve customer pain points. And why I encourage individual service pages, because typically, top-ranking businesses have dedicated pages for each one. Does your website content have any holes? Want an easy fix?
Why not make a plan to add extra pages over time? A blog or FAQ section, for example, is a great way to add valuable information and capture long-tail keywords. These refer to the longer, often popular informational 'how-to' search queries (including voice) made online. Need advice? Reach out.

One website page (up to 600 words): $295 + GST.* This does not include keyword research. I can incorporate any keywords you may wish to supply.
FAQ website page: $250 + GST* and includes editing your questions and answers. Up to 600 words. Using my paid SEO tool, I can uncover opportunities from your competitor's websites for an additional fee.

SEO Upgrade: Building A Solid Foundation With On-Page SEO
My upgrade identifies any basic SEO elements missing from your website. You may not know, but SEO has three key areas: on-page, off-page, and technical. My focus is on-page because many website designers don't include foundational optimisation. Areas covered;
content structure, internal links & headings
alt tags, meta & page titles
keywords & competitor analysis
Once equipped with my keyword research and SEO report, you can have your developer implement the changes - or do them yourself. To make it easier, I can oversee alterations for an additional fee.
SEO Upgrade Pricing Guide
SEO audit $650 + GST.* Using a premium paid SEO tool, I identify weaknesses in your website's on-page SEO.
FREE Bonus: I will also flag any technical issues and off-page opportunities I believe to be worth investigating.

NB: My keyword research identifies two keywords per page, which can be repurposed across your marketing platforms. Plus, I use my copywriting skills to write new meta & page titles. They are what influences visitors to click on your website link.
Keyword Research: Boost Visibility With Industry & Competitor Analysis
Today, AI-powered search engine results are more about key concepts and intent than keywords alone. Therefore, to improve your chances of ranking, you need to balance quality content that answers online queries and understand your customers' search intent (by the language they use).
At Spread The Word, I use a premium SEO tool to help me analyse your competitor's websites and industry data to find the best keyword opportunities. Remember, Google compiles semantic results, which means it understands relationships between words.
Keyword Research Pricing Guide
Keyword research $285 + GST. This includes keyword research to uncover any words you currently rank for and competitor analysis on one business.
Keyword research $745 + GST. This includes keyword research to uncover your ranked keywords and competitor analysis of three businesses.

NB: Keyword research is cost-effective because the SEO words can be repurposed across all your online platforms.
Perfect for: businesses wanting keywords to improve online visibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included in your website analysis?
My website analysis (also called my website WOF) includes a full review of your overall website design, aesthetics, structure and on-page SEO. I look at the following:
Identify gaps in on-page SEO best practices?
User experience (UX) - is it easy to navigate?
Does your website align with your brand and ideal customer
Do you have quality content?
You'll get an actionable list of improvements, some of which I can help you with.
My recommendations are to ensure your website has a solid foundation with on-page SEO and offers a great user experience (UX) to improve your conversion rates (turning browsers into buyers).
How can I improve my website’s visibility on Google?
Start with a user-friendly, fully optimised website that loads fast and includes high-quality, keyword-rich content. Then layer on core SEO tactics — including on-page, off-page, and technical SEO. I can help with the first two.
Your social media presence (like LinkedIn, YouTube, and reviews) can also support visibility through engagement signals. And if you're targeting local customers, don’t overlook your Google Business Profile — it’s one of the most effective free tools for ranking locally.
Keep in mind, organic SEO competes with SERP features like ads, videos, and AI answers — so visibility is about more than being on page one. I can help you find the right SEO mix to give your business the best chance of standing out.
What is SEO and why is it important for small businesses?
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is the process of improving your website so that it ranks higher in search engine results, such as Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo. For small businesses, SEO helps attract more local customers, increase traffic, and compete online withoutpaying for ads.
There are three main types of SEO:
On-page SEO: Optimising your website content, keywords, images, page titles, meta descriptions, URLs, page structure, schema.
Off-page SEO: Building backlinks & Google Business Profile helps increase your credibility online.
Technical SEO: Improving site speed, mobile usability, and how your site is indexed by search engines.
Great SEO balances what search engines need with what users want. If your site loads fast, reads clearly, and offers real value, you're already on the right track. I can help design an on-page SEO strategy tailored to your business and your goals.
What is keyword research and why does it matter for SEO?
Keyword research is the foundation of great SEO content. It helps you understand what your ideal customers are typing into Google (or AI tools) so you can create content that ranks and converts.
Good keyword research includes:
Search intent – what people are really looking for
Search volume – how many people search for it
Difficulty – how hard it is to rank for
Opportunities – what competitors are missing
Click potential – are results crowded by ads, snippets, or local packs?
With AI now influencing search results, context and clarity matter more than ever. Smart keyword research ensures your content is relevant, discoverable, and aligned with what your audience actually wants.
What does website copywriting cost and what’s included?
Website copywriting pricing depends on factors like word count, research needs, and keyword integration.
Typically, one webpage copy costs $295 + GST, but the final price varies based on the amount of content you need.
If you don’t have keywords ready, I can perform keyword research for an additional fee. This includes analysing your top competitors to uncover keyword opportunities that will help your page rank better.
Every project starts with a free discovery call to understand your goals and see if we’re the right fit. Feel free to reach out anytime!
How do I know if my website needs an SEO audit?
Not all websites are built equally. Many look great but miss important SEO elements—especially on-page SEO, which helps improve your search rankings.
My on-page SEO audit includes a detailed review of your website’s content, usability, and page speed. You receive clear, actionable points to enhance your online presence and provide your site with a stronger foundation to attract more visitors.
SEO can feel complex, so if you’re unsure whether an audit is right for you, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I’m happy to explain how SEO works and how my audit can help your business grow.
