Best SEO Companies in Wellington (3 Agencies)

Nexaii is a Wellington-based digital marketing agency founded by Trent Pinet that works with trade and service businesses across the Wellington region, including Wellington CBD, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Porirua and the Kapiti Coast. Its clients include plumbers, electricians, builders, landscapers, cleaners and professional service firms, and the agency is deliberately small, so clients deal directly with the founder rather than an account manager. Its SEO service follows a four-stage monthly process. It starts with keyword research into the high-intent local searches customers use, mapped to the services and suburbs that matter most, then moves to on-page and technical work on page titles, headings, internal links, site speed and mobile performance. Google Business Profile and map pack optimisation covers categories, service areas, photos, posts, citation cleanup and a review strategy, and the service also includes link building plus a plain-English monthly report and call. SEO is priced at a published $950 a month with no lock-in contracts. Alongside SEO, Nexaii runs Google Ads campaigns with conversion tracking, builds fast mobile-first websites, and offers AI automation such as database reactivation campaigns, AI voice agents for calls and automated follow-up sequences. New clients start with a free digital audit.

SimplySEO is a Wellington SEO and Google Ads agency run by managing director Jackson Ertel, who has worked in Google Ads and website optimisation since 2003. The business began when former clients asked Jackson to keep looking after their marketing, and it still works on the same principles of honest advice, transparent pricing and recommendations without jargon. The team does not outsource work overseas or rely on automated SEO audits, preferring to review each client's online presence directly and give best-practice recommendations. Its SEO work is packaged as a Basic SEO Audit covering 5 to 10 pages from $999 plus GST, a Large SEO Audit for sites of 10 or more pages from $1,999 plus GST with keyword mapping and content recommendations, and a Full SEO Package, priced after investigation, that adds link analysis and link generation for competitive industries. Alongside search, SimplySEO manages Google Ads campaigns and Google Ad Grants, and builds and hosts websites, with a senior web developer handling site builds. It also provides white-label SEO and Google Ads services to marketing agencies around New Zealand, covering SEO audits, keyword and ranking investigation, Google Business Profile optimisation and white-labelled reporting. New clients start with a free discovery call.

Somar Digital is a Wellington digital agency based at Level 6, 56 Victoria Street, working with organisations across New Zealand. It focuses on public organisations, charities and not-for-profits, with clients including the Cancer Society, Citizens Advice Bureau, Greater Wellington Regional Council, the Ministry of Social Development, Mountain Safety Council, Plunket and Health New Zealand. Its SEO service starts with a detailed audit and a tailored strategy, then covers technical SEO, on-page optimisation, content improvements, local SEO and link building, with ongoing tracking and adjustments, plus work to prepare sites for AI-powered search. Somar Digital combines SEO with search engine marketing and Google Ads, user experience design, web design, website development, Silverstripe development, AWS website hosting and ongoing support and maintenance, so search work and the website itself are handled by one team. It also helps nonprofits access the Google Ad Grant. A published case study describes SEO improvements to the Plan My Walk site that led to a 170% increase in organic traffic for Mountain Safety Council. Pricing is quoted per project after a free initial consultation rather than through fixed packages.
