The work is entirely remote
Everything happens online: the free concept, the revisions, the handover, the ongoing work. There is no reason a business in Auckland, Wellington, or Dunedin would get a worse result than one in Christchurch.
The free offer is the same everywhere
There is no "Christchurch clients only" gate on the concept site. If you are a NZ business, ask and you get one. The pages above exist because I can write something genuinely specific about these suburbs, not because I refuse to work elsewhere.
Where I will push back
If I am not the right fit — if you need something I cannot deliver properly, or a market that needs a specialist — I will say so and point you somewhere better. Turning work down is cheaper than disappointing you later.
On local search rankings. I will not promise you first page in a suburb, or a specific number of leads, because nobody honest can. What I do is make sure your site is technically sound, your business details are consistent everywhere, and your content is accurate — which are the parts you actually control. If you want guarantees, there are plenty of agencies happy to make them.
Working with me
Do I have to be in Christchurch to get the free concept?
No. The whole offer works identically for any New Zealand business. I ask for your business name and a website or social page, then build from what is publicly available.
Why did you write pages for specific suburbs if you work NZ-wide?
Because I actually live here and know these places, so the content can be genuinely specific — Westfield Riccarton, the University, Edgeware Village, the Hornhub. Generic location pages get ignored by search engines because they add nothing. These add something, so they are worth keeping.
Will you build me a page for my town as well?
If I can write something honest and specific about it, yes, and I will. If the honest answer is that I do not know the local market well enough to write anything useful, I will tell you that instead of generating filler.
Do you charge for the local pages?
No. Reading them is free and there is nothing to buy. The free concept is the only thing I am asking you to consider, and even that costs you nothing.
Can I meet in person?
If you are in Christchurch, yes, happy to. Everything else is handled remotely and I would not want you to drive in for something that an email or call handles better.
Start with a free concept website.
No quote, no proposal, no obligation. Tell me your business and I will build you a working concept on a private link, so you can judge the work instead of the pitch. If you want the files afterwards, they are yours.
