Getting your Stratford business found on Google

The town of Shakespearean street names below Mt Taranaki. People around Stratford check Google first and phone second. Most local websites were never built for that, which is exactly the opening for the ones that were.

We build the site to rank for the terms that produce paying work in Stratford, and keep at it after launch — the part most studios quietly skip. Published price from $299 a month, everything in it.

What it takes to get found in Stratford

We measured this rather than assuming it. In August 2026 we ran the search a customer would run in 64 New Zealand centres and read the top three ordinary results in each. Slightly over half had no locally based studio in the top three at all. In 29 of the 64 a local business held at least one of the three slots, and across every centre together, studios actually based in the town took roughly one slot in five.

Both halves reward the same work, which is the useful part. Speed, a real page for each service, correct local markup and content that keeps arriving will move you in either. Your trade's results are a different picture again — checking them is the first thing we do, before a word of your site is written.

We looked this up rather than assuming it. Searching for a web designer in Stratford in August 2026 returned no business actually based there in the top three ordinary results. Most were firms based somewhere else, running one page per town. It is the same hour of work we do on your own market before writing a word of your site.

No Stratford shopfront, no account managers, no hours billed for meetings — just the work, at a published monthly price, delivered in 10 business days and improved every month after.

Frequently asked questions

Does the time difference make this awkward?

Less than you would expect. The studio works Indonesian hours, and a New Zealand afternoon falls on our working morning — so anything sent after lunch is usually answered the same day rather than overnight.

What does a website cost for a business in Stratford?

The same as anywhere, because every price is published: from $299 a month, all included — domain, hosting, copywriting, ongoing SEO. No setup fee, cancel any month.

Will the site work properly on phones?

Yes, and it is not an afterthought. Most local searches happen on a phone and Google judges the site by its mobile version. Mobile speed is measured before and after every change and appears in your monthly report.

How do I know the work actually happened?

Every fix is verified by an independent re-crawl and arrives in your monthly report as before-and-after HTML. We also run the same Engine against our own site and publish the live result, failures included, at justmarket.me/self-audit — so you can judge the standard before spending anything.

Can I update the site myself afterwards?

Yes. You get a simple editor for text, images, prices and opening hours, so you are never waiting on us for a small change. Anything larger, send it over and it is covered by the plan.
