At Te Puke Digital we build fast, clean, schema-rich websites that rank on Google and get read and cited by AI search — because that’s where your customers are now looking. Here’s our approach, and why it’s different.
We build for both kinds of search
Most studios still build only for traditional Google rankings. We build for that and for the AI engines — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews — that increasingly answer customers directly. That’s GEO (generative engine optimisation), and it’s our wedge: clear quotable content, proper structured data, and a curated llms.txt, on top of solid SEO. (See GEO / AI search and SEO.)
Fast, clean and yours
We favour lean, fast builds over bloated page-builder sites, because speed wins customers and rankings. And we register your domain in your name and hand you the keys — you own your website, your domain and your content outright. No lock-in, ever.
Local, with proof
We’re based in Te Puke and serve the wider Bay of Plenty — Tauranga, Mount Maunganui and beyond. And we don’t just talk: we build, rank and run our own network of regional and community sites as live proof of what works. The methods we use for you are already proven on our own properties. See the network.
The whole stack, in-house
Design, build, SEO, AI search, managed hosting, care plans, copywriting, photography and video — handled in one place, so you’re not juggling five suppliers. See our full toolkit.
