Best investment we've made in the business. Jelly built our website, got us ranking in Google, and set up our Facebook ads. We now get consistent work from the website every week. The team are easy to deal with and they actually understand trades businesses.
Rangi Ngata — Ngata Painters
Owner
Jelly Digital built our new website from scratch and sorted out our Google Ads. We went from barely getting any online enquiries to booking out two weeks in advance. The website looks professional and the phone actually rings now. Highly recommend to any sparky looking to grow.
Mike Henare — North Shore Electrical
Owner
Jelly have literally doubled our business. We're getting at least 8 new leads a week off the website alone — and with their Google Ads and SEO on top, the phone doesn't stop. They rebuilt our brand and website from the ground up and the difference has been night and day. Couldn't recommend them more.
James — Tree Rangers
Owner
Awesome to work with, really happy with the website Jelly Digital set up for us. Looks great and got us online looking professional. They took care of everything. Highly recommend them, made the whole process super easy.

Owner / Operator
I was sceptical about spending money on a website but Jelly convinced me it was worth it. Within three months we were ranking on Google for plumbing jobs in Papakura and getting leads we weren't getting before. The team made the whole thing easy — no jargon, just results.
Dave Parata — Parata Plumbing
Director
Jelly set up our Google Ads and SEO and within the first month we had more enquiries than we could handle. Had to turn the ads off briefly while we caught up. Good problem to have. They also gave us really clear reporting so we always knew what we were getting for our money.

FAQs

Got questions? We've answered the most common ones here.

How does content help me show up in Google and AI search?

Search engines and AI answers both reward clear, well-structured content that directly answers the question. When your pages answer what customers ask, in plain language with the right structure and schema, you become the source Google ranks and AI quotes. Content is the raw material that makes both SEO and answer engine optimisation work.

What content actually works for tradies?

The content that works answers a real customer question or buying decision: how much a job costs, how to choose a tradie, what is involved, and service plus suburb pages. Listicles and generic blog posts rarely move the needle. We prioritise the pages that match high-intent searches and that AI engines quote when someone asks for a recommendation.

Is content marketing worth it for a small trades business?

Yes, because it compounds. Unlike ads that stop the moment you stop paying, a strong page keeps ranking and bringing in enquiries for months or years. For a small trades business, even a handful of well-targeted pages can become a steady, no-cost-per-lead channel. The key is targeting the searches your real customers make, which is what we do.

How much does content marketing cost in NZ?

It depends on volume, but most trades businesses get the best value from content built into a monthly retainer rather than one-off articles. Jelly Digital includes content in our higher retainer tiers and can also scope project-based content for a specific campaign. We will always tell you what a piece is meant to achieve before we write it.

What is content marketing for a trades business?

Content marketing is creating useful pages, guides and answers that bring in customers over time, instead of paying for every click. For trades that usually means clear service pages, location pages and FAQs that match what people search. Done right, it ranks in Google, feeds AI search, and keeps generating leads long after it is published.

Do trades businesses really need content or a blog?

Yes, if you want to be found. Helpful content, service pages, guides and FAQs, is what Google and AI search engines pull from when someone asks a question in your trade. For a tradie, a few well-written pages answering the questions your customers actually ask will do more than a blog full of filler. We focus on content that earns enquiries, not word count.
