Technical SEO Agencies in New Zealand

Technical SEO deals with how a site is crawled and indexed, and with template issues that affect many URLs at once. Migrations are a special case: URLs change, and rankings depend on a redirect map plus checks before and after launch. Agencies here publish technical SEO or SEO migration work. Ask what they fix themselves and what needs a developer.

This page compares 41 agencies with a New Zealand location.

A1 Websites

A1 Websites is a Nelson web design, SEO and Google Ads practice run by Marcus, who has worked professionally online since 1998 and deals with clients directly from the first conversation through implementation and ongoing improvement, with no account-manager layers in between. Its SEO work starts with mapping important searches to the right pages so each page has a clear job and pages do not compete for the same phrase. Technical foundations cover crawl and indexation checks, status codes, canonicals, sitemap coverage and noindex rules, page weight, layout stability and mobile usability, plus headings, metadata and structured data. It also plans content and internal linking, and protects rankings during website migrations by inventorying indexable URLs, mapping redirects and checking the release. Alongside search it builds and redesigns sites on WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Squarespace and Wix, and manages Google Ads and Shopping. Published work includes ongoing SEO and Google Ads for Nelson manufacturer O2B Healthy, Google Ads across Marsden Hotels and Resorts properties, and sites for Ironline Steel Detailing and Cycle Nelson. A1 does not guarantee rankings. Contact is marcus@a1websites.co.nz or 022 391 3500.
