    Frequently Asked Questions: SEO

    What does an SEO agency do?

    A professional SEO agency like Firefly Digital takes care of every aspect of your SEO strategy, ensuring your website ranks higher in search results and drives real business growth. Our SEO services include a comprehensive website audit, keyword research, competitor analysis, content strategy, and both on-page and off-page SEO techniques.

    Whether you need to rank locally, nationally, or internationally, our team tailors a strategy that aligns with your business goals. From technical SEO improvements to high-quality content creation and ethical link-building, we implement proven strategies to increase your visibility, attract more traffic, and drive sales.

    How much does SEO cost?

    SEO pricing depends on multiple factors, including your industry, competition, and current website performance. While some companies may offer cheap SEO services, beware of both black hat techniques that will see you being penalised by Google, and the volume of work that needs to be done to get you in a position for SEO to deliver a ROI. 

    At Firefly Digital, we take a transparent, results-driven approach. We offer affordable SEO solutions tailored to your business needs, ensuring your investment generates long-term growth. Whether you’re a small business or a large enterprise, we’ll help you determine the right budget and provide full transparency on how we allocate your SEO investment.

    Does my company need SEO?

    If your customers are searching online for products or services you offer, SEO is essential. A well-optimized website allows your business to be found by potential customers actively looking for what you sell, making SEO one of the most effective digital marketing strategies.

    Beyond ranking higher in Google, SEO improves your website’s structure, user experience, and credibility, ultimately leading to more traffic and conversions. Whether you’re a local business, eCommerce store, or nationwide company, SEO is a long-term investment that delivers consistent, high-intent traffic.

    Should I invest in Google Ads or SEO?

    Both SEO and Google Ads (PPC) have their advantages. Google Ads offer immediate visibility, but you pay per click, meaning costs can add up quickly. SEO, on the other hand, builds long-term visibility, allowing you to attract organic traffic without ongoing ad spend.

    If you have the budget, a combination of SEO and PPC is the best strategy. SEO helps you rank organically for high-intent keywords, while Google Ads give you instant visibility. Over time, SEO reduces reliance on paid ads by bringing in consistent, free traffic from search engines.

    How does Google SEO actually work?

    Google’s algorithm uses over 250 ranking factors to determine where a website appears in search results. Key factors include:

    • Relevance – Does your content match what users are searching for
    • Authority – Does your website have backlinks from reputable sources
    • User Experience (UX) – Is your site fast, mobile-friendly, and easy to navigate?
    • E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) – Does your website demonstrate credibility and industry expertise?

    To rank higher in Google, your website must deliver a seamless user experience, provide valuable content, and follow ethical SEO best practices. That’s where Firefly Digital’s SEO services come in—we optimise every aspect of your site to align with Google’s evolving ranking criteria.

    How do you know which keywords people are searching?

    As a leading SEO company in NZ, we use advanced keyword research tools like Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, and SEMrush to analyse search trends and user intent.
    We identify high-traffic, high-intent keywords that are most valuable for your business. Our strategy includes a mix of:

    • High-volume keywords – Broad, competitive terms with significant search demand.
    • Long-tail keywords – More specific phrases with strong purchase intent and higher conversion rates.
    • Local keywords – Essential for businesses targeting specific towns, cities or regions.
    By analysing search volume, competition, and user intent, we create a data-driven SEO strategy that attracts the right audience and drives measurable results.

    Why isn't my website isn't ranking on Google?

    If your website isn’t ranking, there are several possible reasons:

    • Lack of relevant content – Your website may not have content that matches key search queries.
    • Low domain authority – Your site may need more high-quality backlinks to build credibility.
    • Technical SEO issues – Errors like slow page speed, crawlability issues, or broken links can affect rankings.
    • Google penalties – If your website has used black hat SEO tactics in the past, it could be penalised.
    • New domain – New websites take time to gain authority and rankings.
    A full SEO audit can identify and fix these issues. Firefly Digital’s SEO services are designed to get your website ranking higher and driving organic traffic as quickly as possible.

    Is SEO dead?

    Far from it—SEO is more important than ever. With Google continuously evolving, businesses that invest in SEO services gain a significant advantage.

    As search engines prioritise user experience, mobile-friendliness, and high-quality content, SEO has shifted towards sustainable, ethical strategies that deliver long-term results. With the rise of voice search, AI-driven search, and featured snippets, SEO is evolving, and it’s certainly not dead!

    A strong SEO strategy ensures your business stays visible, competitive, and ahead of the curve in the ever-changing digital landscape.

    Do you outsource any of your SEO work overseas?

    All of our SEO services are managed in-house by our Firefly team. We have SEO managers, senior specialists, strategists, content writers, and Google specialists under one-roof in Auckland, New Zealand.

    Does SEO increase sales?

    Yes. SEO is an excellent option to build visibility, drive traffic, leads and sales. SEO focusses on high intent searches, which are essentially people already qualified, looking for your products or services. A strong SEO strategy will increase your websites exposure across Google, Yahoo and Bing, so you can be found online.

    What is a long-tail keyword?

    A long-tail keyword is a highly specific keyword term than usually has multiple words within the search term. When someone searches this, because they have been specific in their search, if you can provide useful information to that query, you have a good chance of winning the click.

    What is SEO?

    SEO is the process of optimising your website to be highly relevant for themes, topics and keywords. As a result of having a credible and relevant website, you are ranked on the search engine results. Google, Bing and Yahoo use algorithms and ranking signals to determine which website is the most relevant and tries to present the highest quality websites based on these ranking signals. By increasing your position on the Google search engine results, you are able to increase the number of clicks and traffic you can generate to your website.

    Which SEO company is the best?

    Firefly is a market leader and cultivates the best talent, processes and follows worlds best practise in the SEO space. We live and breathe SEO, all day every day. Our team is dialled in to provide the best possible results across SEO.

    Are SEO companies worth the money?

    A great SEO company is worth its weight in gold. Unfortunately SEO is an under-regulated space which means the performance can range from agency to agency. When SEO is deployed correctly with a strong strategy and execution team, not only can SEO increase traffic and leads relatively quickly, but it can set you up for long-term sustainable success bringing in predictable traffic and lead flow. A great SEO company will provide strategic advice, full transparent reporting on the results and work carried out and will constantly be working on your website to ensure results don’t stagnate and your website adheres to Google’s best practices.
