Overview

Northern Lights Lighting and Electrical serves residential, commercial and industrial customers across New Zealand. At the time of the campaign, the business had more than 25 years of industry experience and a team of qualified, insured electricians.

The Challenge

Northern Lights wanted a clear assessment of its existing SEO campaign and a strategy to compete more effectively in the New Zealand electrical services market. First-page organic rankings were a priority, alongside an agency partner that would take responsibility for resolving technical and website issues.

Our Strategy

Identify the searches that mattered

We researched relevant keywords, reviewed competitor rankings and backlink strategies, and assessed purchase intent across short- and long-tail searches. This established the priorities for the campaign.

Connect technical improvements with useful content

A technical and site architecture audit informed the optimisation work. We then developed content-rich landing pages and regular monthly blog posts to strengthen the site's coverage of the services customers were searching for.
