The aim is to balance search volume with competition levels, ensuring we target terms that can deliver high conversion rates.

2. On-Page SEO Optimisation

On-page optimisation will play a vital role in improving relevance and ranking. We plan to:

  • Optimise Meta Tags: Each page will have well-optimised meta titles and descriptions that align with targeted keywords.
  • Content Optimisation: We will develop new service pages and blog content that addresses searcher intent. Blog posts will cover topics like “How to Maintain a Commercial Roof” and “Signs It’s Time for a Roof Repair.”
  • Internal Linking: This will improve site structure and help distribute ranking power throughout the website.


3. Local SEO for Maximum Impact

  • Speed Improvements: Optimising images and compressing files to reduce load times.
  • Security: Implementing SSL to ensure the site is secure and trusted by search engines.


5. Content Creation & Link Building

Building valuable content and gaining authoritative backlinks will be key to improving the website’s domain authority. Our approach includes:

  • Educational Blog Posts: To attract visitors and position the business as an expert, we will create regular blog content on commercial roofing tips, maintenance, and industry trends.
  • Guest Posts & Outreach: We will actively pursue backlinks from industry-related blogs, Auckland business directories, and roofing networks.


6. Monitoring and Adjusting

This is a live case study, so we will continuously monitor the website’s performance, including keyword rankings, traffic, and technical SEO health. We’ll use tools like Google Analytics and Search Console to track progress and adjust strategies as needed.
