Mahi Digital is based in Pakowhai, minutes from the Napier CBD. We get local businesses found on Google and in the Maps three-pack — by the customers already searching, right down the road.
When someone in Napier searches for a plumber, a café, a physio or a builder, the first thing they see is the Google Maps three-pack — three businesses, a map, and a row of star ratings. Most people pick one of those three and never scroll further. If you are not in it, the quality of your website barely matters.
That three-pack is decided by different things than your website ranking: your Google Business Profile categories, your service area, your photos, your proximity to the searcher — and above everything else, your reviews. It is also intensely local. A search from Taradale returns a different three businesses than the same search from Ahuriri.
We work on both halves. Your Google Business Profile for the map pack, your website for the organic results underneath it, and AI search so ChatGPT names you when someone asks it instead of Google. All three are part of the Local Growth plan.
That is the Local Growth plan: $249/month, month to month, with your site hosted and looked after as part of it. Most Napier clients start with a $499 Website Refresh so the site is quick and Google-ready before the SEO work begins.
New website with a custom instant-quote configurator. Days after launch: #1 on Google for "containers hawkes bay", and six enquiries in the first five days.
From a near-empty Facebook page to 132.5K impressions in one quarter, Facebook followers from 116 to 3,008, and 2.3× growth on Google.
Six technical checks, five seconds, no email required. Find out whether ChatGPT and Google's AI can actually read your website — most Napier sites can't.
Plumbers, sparkies, builders, roofers, painters and landscapers. The map pack is where your calls come from — suburb-level ranking is the whole game.
Ahuriri and Marine Parade restaurants, cafés, bars and accommodation. Art Deco and cruise-season visitors search before they arrive, and often on a phone.
Physios, dentists, GPs, gyms and allied health. Patients search by location first, and reviews carry more weight here than in almost any other category.
Port of Napier sits at the centre of the region's freight economy. Cartage, haulage, storage and container businesses — we already work with two of them.
Onekawa and Pandora industrial, plus CBD and Taradale retail. "Near me" and product-plus-location searches are where local retail still beats online.
Accountants, lawyers, brokers and consultants. Trust is the product — the job is an online presence that signals authority before the first call.
Get in touch and we will show you where you sit in the map pack today, who is above you, and the shortest path past them. Then it's $249/month, month to month. No pitch deck.
