Frequently asked questions
Search Foundry is a New Zealand digital infrastructure and search agency. We plan, create and engage brands through websites, SEO, AEO, GEO, branding, publishing support, hosting, automation and custom AI builds — delivered as one focused service, not disconnected projects.
Plan sets positioning, audiences and discovery priorities. Create covers websites, brand assets, content and publishing materials. Engage is how you promote and follow up — on owned infrastructure with hosting and measurement so marketing effort is not wasted.
No. Search results and generative summaries change. We improve technical foundations, content architecture, entity clarity and publishable facts that make strong rankings and careful citations possible over time.
We are rooted in the Bay of Plenty and often work with local and regional clients, but Search Foundry serves New Zealand-wide and international English-language clients. We do not build thin doorway location pages.
Yes. Author sites, guided publishing support, branding for a body of work, and promotion that lives on infrastructure you own. Authors keep ownership of their work. Specialist publishing delivery can be routed when that is the right fit, while remaining part of the Search Foundry enquiry journey.
SEO improves how people and search engines find and trust your site. AEO (answer engine optimisation) makes your information clearer for answer boxes and assistants. GEO (generative engine optimisation) strengthens the accurate, structured source material generative AI systems may draw on. We treat them as one discipline with honest limits — we do not guarantee rankings or citations.
Local Bay of Plenty organisations, regional operators, New Zealand-wide brands and international clients who need a professional English-language digital presence — including authors and publishers who need to self-publish and promote on owned sites.
Use the enquiry form and describe the project or problem. We reply with a clear next step — whether that is websites, search, branding, publishing support, hosting or a custom build — under one Search Foundry engagement.
Yes. Managed hosting, DNS, performance, security and care sit alongside websites and campaigns so launches and publishing work stay stable. Support scope is agreed per engagement — we do not claim unlimited 24/7 coverage by default.
No. This site is for serious project work — digital infrastructure, search, branding and custom builds delivered with human accountability. It is not a self-service website builder or AI dashboard.
Why a united provider
matters
Websites, search, branding and publishing work best when they share one roadmap — not when they are bought as disconnected projects.
Search Foundry keeps delivery accountable under one brand: plan the strategy, create the assets, then engage on infrastructure you can maintain.
