01 Before we got involved

The Challenge

Fundmaster is an Auckland mortgage and financial advisory firm based in Epsom, competing in a category where the top three results for "mortgage broker Auckland" are dominated by national brokers with six-figure marketing budgets.

The firm had near-zero visibility for local-intent searches, a technical foundation that was holding back every content push, and no organic share of the suburb-level commercial queries that drive appraisal-ready leads. Local intent searches like "mortgage broker Epsom" and "home loan advisor Auckland" were going to national brands with zero local relevance.

They needed a defensible local SEO position without trying to outspend the incumbents head-on.

02 What we did about it

Our Solution

We ran a full technical audit first — fixing crawl issues, cleaning up redirect chains, and rebuilding the site architecture around advisor services and suburb-level landing pages.

The content strategy focused on long-tail, buyer-intent queries like first home buyer guides, refinancing calculators, and Epsom-specific market commentary that the national brokers were ignoring. Backlink work targeted local business associations, financial-advice directories, and contextual mentions in NZ property publications.

The firm now ranks top 3 for "mortgage broker Epsom" — the exact commercial phrase that drives appraisal-ready leads in their catchment — and holds steady visibility across a long tail of first-home-buyer and refinancing queries.
