Ready to Grow With SEO That Works?
Get Found by the Right People — At the Right Time
Most businesses think SEO is about tricking Google. It’s not! It’s about answering your customers’ questions better than anyone else.
If your website is a ghost town, or if you are tired of relying 100% on paid ads that stop working the moment you stop paying, you have an organic visibility problem.
At Back9, we take a “Growth-Driven” approach. No secrets, no dodgy “black hat” tactics, and no guesswork. Just a strategic system designed to improve your visibility, attract qualified buyers (not just tyre-kickers), and turn them into leads.
Why SEO Matters for NZ Businesses
People don’t trust “sales pitches” anymore, but they do trust Google and probably now AI (like Chat GPT, Claude and Gemini). When your ideal customer has a problem, they ask a search engine of some type. And they search with intent.
They want answers, solutions, places to buy from, and businesses they can trust. If you don’t show up in search results, your competitors will.
SEO helps you:
-
Build Trust & Authority: High rankings tell customers you are the industry leader before they even visit your site.
-
Stop Renting, Start Owning: unlike Google Ads, the content and authority you build with SEO is an asset you own forever.
-
Capture High-Intent Traffic: Target people who are actively searching for what you sell right now.
-
Lower Customer Acquisition Costs: Over time, organic leads cost significantly less than paid leads.
Our SEO Approach
(Growth-Driven, Not Set-and-Forget)
To see real results with SEO, you need to treat your website as a living revenue engine, a digital asset that will continue to grow! Not a static ‘build it and they will come’ brochure.
By combining technical precision with a culture of answering your customer’s most pressing questions, together, let’s turn your site into the most trusted voice in your industry.
That’s why we follow our proven IDEA Framework;
Imagine, Design, Execute, Amplify:

We start by understanding your customers, competitors, and the keywords that actually lead to conversions.

Content strategy
- On-page optimisation
- Technical fixes

Small improvements over time lead to massive long-term results
How Much Does SEO Cost?
Ah, The “Cost” (The Elephant in the Room)
This is likely the first question on your mind, and most agencies refuse to answer it. We believe you deserve a straight answer.
SEO pricing varies based on the speed of results you want, the competitiveness of your industry, and the current health of your website. “Cheap” SEO (under $500/mo) will only address a few things on your site. Anyone offering complete SEO for under 500 bucks is having a laugh. They are either not doing it, or far too often using spammy tactics that can get your site flagged.
Quality SEO is an investment in human expertise; writers, strategists, and developers.
