AI visibility for trades and local servicesNZ / Worldwide

Get found when customers ask who to call.

Nextrank is a New Zealand AI visibility and local SEO specialist for trades and local service businesses. We audit and improve existing websites—content, structured data, service and location pages, internal linking and technical SEO—so customers and search systems can understand and verify the business.

01 What makes a site recommendable A customer asks which local business they should trust. Clear beats clever

Why this matters

Clear business information helps search and AI understand what you do.

A polished website can still leave basic questions unanswered. We make your services, service areas and evidence consistent enough for customers to trust and search systems to interpret.

  1. Day 1

    You fill in the form

    I personally review your website and enquiry, then usually reply within one working day with a recommended next step.

  2. Days 2–5

    Audit and baseline

    We crawl and record your site as it stands, sample which businesses appear for an agreed set of searches and AI prompts, and produce a prioritised roadmap. You approve what happens next.

  3. Then

    Staged implementation

    Backups first, then changes built in staging or drafts. Forms, bookings and tracking are tested before anything ships. Nothing reaches your live site without approval.

  4. Release

    Launch and verify

    A controlled release window, followed by a full re-crawl, functional tests and before-and-after screenshots to confirm the planned changes landed and core journeys still work.

  5. After

    Warranty and ongoing support

    Every implementation carries a 14-day warranty on our work. On the Growth plan we keep sampling the engines, shipping the next priority and reporting in plain English every month.

Questions people actually ask.

What is AI visibility?

AI visibility describes how accurately search and generative systems can identify your business, services, locations and evidence, and whether they mention or cite you in relevant answers. Your website is one influence among several; third-party sources, reputation, relevance and model behaviour also matter.

How is this different from SEO?

SEO and AI visibility overlap. Both benefit from useful content, technical quality, authority and clear business information. SEO focuses mainly on discovery and rankings in search results; AI visibility also examines whether generative systems understand, mention or cite the business in their answers.

Can you guarantee a number-one ranking or AI recommendation?

No. Search rankings and AI responses are controlled by external systems and change by query, location, competition and time. We guarantee the agreed work and transparent measurement, not a specific ranking, citation or recommendation.

How do you measure results?

We record a baseline before implementation, then compare crawl health, indexing, Search Console performance, qualified enquiries and dated samples of relevant AI responses over time. AI outputs can change, so every sample records the engine, prompt and date.

Does schema markup make AI recommend my business?

No. Structured data can make business information easier to interpret, but it is only one signal. Useful content, consistent entity information, technical accessibility, reputation and relevant third-party references also matter.

What does it cost?

The Foundation audit starts at $1,490 NZD, Implementation at $3,490, and the Growth retainer at $1,250 a month. A focused Visibility Snapshot starts at $490. Every project gets a fixed quote before we start and it doesn't move.

What if I already have a website I like?

Keep it. That's the default, not the exception. We work inside your existing website and hosting, implement approved improvements with backups and staging, and your site keeps its look. No redesign unless a rebuild is genuinely the right call.

Do I have to change hosting or leave my web developer?

No. Your domain, hosting, email and developer stay exactly where they are. If you have a developer, we can work alongside them or hand them a complete implementation pack with page-by-page instructions. We only host websites we build or fully control.

Do you only work with New Zealand businesses?

We're based in New Zealand and price in NZ dollars, but we build for anyone, anywhere. The quote form doesn't care about time zones.

What happens after the work goes live?

Every implementation carries a 14-day warranty on the work we did. Past that, the Growth retainer keeps improving your visibility month by month with a defined work allowance, or you can send one-off changes whenever you need them.
