Best SEO Companies in Otago (2 Agencies)

Cre8ive Marketing is a Dunedin agency at 19 Royal Terrace that combines website design, branding, social media and search engine optimisation for South Island businesses and organisations. Its Web and SEO Audit service crawls a site for technical issues such as broken links, robots.txt, XML sitemaps and speed, then reports clear fixes aimed at better organic rankings without banned SEO tactics. The team also analyses keyword ranks, backlinks and competitor link profiles using specialised SEO tools, and helps with on-page optimisation and content decisions based on search volume. Beyond audits, Cre8ive runs SEO and digital marketing training through the Management Capability Development Fund, including courses on improving a website's online visibility. Day-to-day work spans brand identity, educational resource design, Meta advertising and ongoing organic social content for clients such as ENGAGE, Cancer Society Southern and local tourism groups. Businesses looking for a local Dunedin partner get direct access to Philippa and the team, with phone and email support from the Royal Terrace office.

The Hustle is a Dunedin digital agency at 90 Crawford Street that has been building websites, apps and digital marketing for nearly 20 years, with a team based in Dunedin and across Aotearoa. Its SEO work is done entirely in house in New Zealand, with no off-shoring, and covers website audits, on-site and off-site optimisation, ethical link building and long-term SEO strategy. Each engagement starts with market and competitor research and keyword evaluation, followed by a site analysis and an initial report with recommendations. The team then updates titles, meta descriptions, headings and content, builds a content strategy, fixes site speed issues and creates and submits sitemaps, reviewing results and reporting every month. Clients also get access to the agency's own marketing platform for keyword analysis, automated monthly reports and performance charts. Beyond SEO, The Hustle offers custom website design and development, Shopify development, app and software development, performance tuning, secure hosting and technical services such as DNS, email management and API integration. Portfolio work includes speed optimisation and a custom PC part-picker tool on the Shopify store of Godmode, a New Zealand PC builder.
