Ranking Fixer

Technical SEO Consultant in New Zealand

I audit and fix the technical problems that hold New Zealand websites back on Google: pages that are not indexed, slow mobile pages, broken migrations and sites that serve New Zealand and Australia with the same pages.

Ranking Fixer is remote, with no office in New Zealand. The time difference works in your favour: changes can go live while New Zealand sleeps.

Technical SEO problems common on New Zealand websites

Selling in New Zealand and Australia: site setups compared

Ways to serve both countries and how Google treats each one
SetupExampleSEO effect
Folder per countryexample.com/nz/ and example.com/au/One domain and shared authority; needs hreflang and real local differences
Country domainsexample.co.nz and example.com.auStrongest country signal; two sites to build links and maintain
One site for bothSame pages, prices switched by locationGoogle sees one version; one country usually gets the wrong prices and pages

The work happens in the code and in Google Search Console, so the city does not change the process. What changes is how we work across the time difference:

  1. Brief in your afternoon. Email the site and the problem; it arrives at the start of my working day.
  2. Progress by your morning. Findings, fixes or questions are waiting when your day starts.
  3. Calls in your early morning. Your 8 or 9 am is my late afternoon, good for a review call.
  4. Launches at night. Redirects and deployments go live during New Zealand's quietest hours.

Questions from New Zealand businesses

Do you work with New Zealand businesses?

Yes, remotely. I work from Brazil, 15 to 16 hours behind New Zealand, so work is done by email and shared documents: you send the brief in your afternoon and find progress in your morning. Calls are possible in your early morning, which is my late afternoon.

How do I stop my Australian pages ranking in New Zealand?

Give each country its own URLs, link them with hreflang tags for en-NZ and en-AU, and make the pages genuinely different: prices in each currency with GST, local shipping and contact details. When the two versions are nearly identical, Google may ignore hreflang and show one country the other version.

Should my site use .co.nz or .com?

A .co.nz domain tells Google the site targets New Zealand and is the clearest choice for a business that only sells locally. A .com suits businesses that also sell in Australia or elsewhere, with a folder per country and hreflang. Moving between them later is a migration, so choose before building links.

Does my website need New Zealand English spelling?

For visitors, yes: New Zealand readers expect spellings like optimisation and colour, and titles that match how they search. For Google it matters less than country targeting, but consistent local spelling helps the page read as written for New Zealand.

Can fixes go live outside New Zealand business hours?

Yes, and the time difference helps. My working morning is the middle of the night in New Zealand, so deployments, redirects and migrations can go live when your site has the fewest visitors.
