Why should you choose Aplus?  To be honest, we don't really mind if you choose another company.  Within New Zealand, there's only two SEO companies that are worthwhile talking to.  Micheal Brandon at SearchMasters and the team here at Aplus.  No one else has the resources or experience to compete with us.  But here's the seven top reasons that make Aplus the first choice of many New Zealand businesses.

Experience
Most prospective clients don't appreciate this, but this is a important criteria when selecting a SEO provider.  Do they have experience working in highly competitive markets? Do they rank well for their own industry keywords like 'SEO' and 'Search Engine Optimisation' (these are the most competitive keywords on Google by the way).  If they don't then they don't really have the experience to advise you.

The other aspect to experience is how many clients they've worked with, and what results did they get them.  Did they get a significant number of clients into the first page? For what keywords?  Here at Aplus, we've optimised 120+ client websites, with all bar one ranking in the top 10 for the clients chosen keywords.  In the case where we didn't, we optimise another website for the client, which now ranks in the top five for it's keywords.

Guarantee
We guarantee to get all your keywords into the top 10 within six months.  If we don't, then we'll continue to work on your website for free until we do.  No one else in New Zealand offer this level of guarantee.  We are yet to meet anyone in the SEO industry globally who offers this comprehensive level of guarantee.

Scalability
Most SEO providers are one man bands.  They don't have a team or have professional client account managers to provide timely communication to their clients.  With Aplus, you have one dedicated account manager who stays with you throughout your SEO program.  This experienced SEO professional is on hand by phone and email to answer your questions about SEO, Google and help with your website performance as needed.

The other aspect to 'Scalability' is the resources an SEO provider has to dedicate to your website.  We have a team of SEO professionals who are continually working on your website to improve it's ranking and traffic levels.  We currently have over 45 active clients who we work with, and can scale to much higher if we wanted to.  Most one man bands can't get beyond 10 clients because there is only so much time in the day and they can't do all the work themselves.

We're Expensive
Our minimum monthly fees start at $1000+GST and can go up to $2500+GST per month and more.  We frequentely have prospective clients say to us that 'You're really expensive'.  This is exactly the positioning we want within the marketplace.  Why do we charge so much? Results, mainly.  We can get you higher, faster than anyone else in New Zealand.  We provide professional level services and provide timely and regular communication to you on your SEO program and how it is progressing.  We tell you the unvarnished truth about your prospects on Google and whether it's worthwhile for you.  For this, we charge more than anyone else.

Highly Competitive Markets
Because we charge more than anyone else, the only clients who want to buy our services tend to be in the highly competitive markets like insurance, web design, mortgage broking and website hosting.  Other clients can see the value in our services if they have been spending around the $1000/month mark on Google Adwords regularly.  It takes a client of a particular mindset to see the value in our service versus others who price shop and compare keyword for keyword prices.

Speed
Because we have the team, we can apply more resources to your website, thus improving your website ranking faster.  This is important if you want to rank highly for more than three keywords.  If you want to rank highly for eight, 10 or 20 keywords, then you don't have much choice outside of Aplus within New Zealand for SEO.

On average, we take 92 days to get a clients website into the first page, and most often it occurs sooner.

Stability
With our approach to SEO, our clients tend to stay in the top 10, if not rising higher even after they have stopped the SEO with us.  This is because of our natural, white hat approach to SEO that continues work for your website even as Google changes it's algorithm (it makes 200 changes a year on average).  The other reason for this because the New Zealand market is not that competitive for SEO, and most other SEO professionals can't get their websites above us.

International
Getting into the top 10 on Google.com or other international search engines can be 100 times more difficult than doing so on Google New Zealand.  This is because Google.com is ultra competitive, with your website competiting against the best website in the world.  We have experience optimising and getting websites into the top 10 of Google.com in highly competitive markets and can do so for your website as well.
