Kia Ora Digital

Based in Queenstown, Kia Ora Digital works with growth-focused businesses across New Zealand, with a particular focus on lead generation, e-commerce and SaaS/AI companies. The agency also lists coverage across a range of other New Zealand locations, indicating a client base extending beyond its home city into national and, in some cases, international markets. Team size sits within the small-agency range, structured around dedicated specialists assigned to individual client accounts. Services centre on organic search and AI search, alongside paid search, SEO migrations and digital PR. Within SEO, the agency addresses e-commerce SEO, SEO audits, revenue forecasting, local, national, international and enterprise SEO, KPI strategy work and SEO penalty recovery, and it supports platform-specific work on Shopify, BigCommerce, Webflow, WordPress and Squarespace. Migration work is positioned around retaining existing rankings when clients change platforms, while the AI search offering responds to the growing share of traffic driven by tools such as ChatGPT. Digital PR is described as a means of securing links from publications regarded as trustworthy by Google. The agency states it does not use long-term contracts, aiming to demonstrate value within shorter engagement periods, and assigns each client a specialist described as a Growth Strategist with combined knowledge of SEO and AI search.
