Ripple Effect Digital Marketing is a Mount Maunganui-based SEO and Google Ads agency serving Tauranga, the Bay of Plenty and businesses throughout New Zealand. It was founded in 2010 by Dave Manville as Write Ahead Ltd, a name built around its two original services, copywriting and SEO, and was later renamed Ripple Effect. Dave still owns and runs the business with a small team of specialists, and clients deal with one person, the same person who does the work. SEO is the core of the agency's work. Campaigns start with website and competitor analysis, keyword research and ranking checks, followed by on-page optimisation and monthly measurement of organic search and Maps rankings and traffic. Its local SEO service covers Google Business Profile setup, verification and optimisation, citations, customer reviews and on-page local relevance for businesses such as motels, dentists, plumbers, retailers and restaurants. The agency also offers SEO audits, SEO copywriting and SEO training. Ripple Effect is a Google Certified Partner and manages Google Ads, Google Shopping, display and remarketing campaigns, along with Facebook and Instagram marketing. Clients are not tied to signed contracts and decide month to month based on results, with detailed reporting on all work carried out. Webflow and Shopify web design is available through the team.

Totum Digital is a Tauranga digital marketing studio that has worked with New Zealand businesses since 2012, led by Troy Symes. The team handles websites, Google Ads, SEO, branding and content under one roof, so clients deal directly with the people doing the work. Its SEO service treats search as a long-term build rather than an overnight fix, starting with technical audits and solid foundations and putting a strong focus on local search so nearby customers can find the business. Web design and development covers conversion-focused brochure sites and e-commerce stores, while Google Ads campaigns are built around quality enquiries and smarter spending, with analytics and reporting included. Totum also offers channel strategy, graphic design, brand identity and content creation, including web copy, product photography and short-form video.
