Meet the founder

I do the work myself. Not a salesperson.

Hi, I'm Jakob. I run SEO Monkey out of Auckland and I do every campaign personally. When you email, you're talking to the person actually moving your rankings, not a salesperson trying to book the next meeting.

That's also why the only commitment is the first three months, and why those three months are guaranteed. If I'm not earning my keep, you walk. No 12-month lock-in, no exit fees, no awkward conversation with a retention team. Just the work, the results, and after the first three months, a monthly invoice you can cancel any time.

Real accounts, not industry averages

The numbers you can’t argue with.

Every figure below came out of a client account in Google Search Console, Google Ads or Meta. Ask me to open any of them on the call.

Most NZ agencies have it backwards

They sell rankings WRONG when you actually need customers walking in.

Plenty of agencies will hand you a colourful PDF full of green arrows and zero new jobs. We do not work that way.

Pretty PDFs, no booked jobs

You get a 40-page report full of metrics that mean nothing to your bottom line. Meanwhile your phone still is not ringing.

6, 12, 24 month lock-ins

Long contracts protect the agency, not you. Three months is the shortest honest runway for this work, and it is guaranteed: if we do not ship what we agreed in the first 30 days, your next invoice does not go out. After that we are month to month, because if we are not earning our keep, you should be free to walk.

Dashboard theatre

Vanity metrics like impressions and reach do not pay the rent. We only report on the things that move money: leads, calls, and bookings.

The way we actually work

A boring, repeatable system. That is the whole secret.

No magic, no hacks, no growth-hacker theatre. Just the same three steps, run properly, every month.

01

Find what is actually broken

On the free 18-minute call we audit your Google profile, your site, and where you sit vs the local competition. You walk away knowing the one thing to fix first, even if you never hire us.

02

Fix it. In writing.

We send a one-page plan with the work, the timeline, the cost, and what success looks like in 30 days. You sign, we start. No long contracts, no deck full of buzzwords.

03

Report what changed

Every month you get a plain-English email: leads, calls, rankings, ad spend, what we did, what is next. If the numbers are not moving, we tell you. If they are, you decide what to push harder.

Eighteen minutes, no pitch deck. I tell you what I would do first and what it is worth.

30 DAY
Deliverables guarantee, in writing
Deliverables, no quibbles

If we do not deliver what we agreed in the first 30 days, your next invoice does not go out.

Every engagement starts with a one-page list of deliverables. If we have not shipped that list in the first 30 days, the next invoice doesn't go out until we ship. Ad spend is paid direct to Google or Meta, that's separate.

Stuff that actually makes the phone ring

No jargon. No 40-page reports nobody reads. Just real moves that turn searches into bookings.

From 'never heard of you' to fully booked

Four simple steps. No jargon. You always know what’s happening and what’s next.

01

Free growth plan

18 minutes. We listen, ask honest questions, tell you straight what we'd do. Zero pressure to buy.

02

Custom plan + flat fee

No surprises. One number, written down, with what's included. You decide go or no-go.

03

We build & launch

Usually live in 7-14 days. You see exactly what's happening, weekly check-ins.

04

Phone starts ringing

Real bookings. Real reviews. Real numbers in your monthly report. No fine print.

Common questions

The stuff everyone asks (and the honest answers)

Do you really do deliverables guarantee?

Yep. If we don't ship the agreed deliverables in 30 days, your next invoice doesn't go out until we do. You only pay the second month once we've shipped what we agreed. No fine print, no 'must complete onboarding within 24 hours' nonsense.

How is this different from the SEO bloke who took $2k?

We're NZ-based, no offshore call centre. You talk to Jakob (the guy doing the work). One flat fee, no surprise add-ons, and after three months you can cancel any time.

Will I have to sign a 12-month contract?

Three months to start, then month to month. We earn the next month by getting you results this month.

What if I don't even have a website?

We build them too. Mobile-first, fast as hell, and set up to actually convert visitors into bookings.

Do you work outside Auckland?

All of NZ Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, regional towns. SEO doesn't care where your office is.
