Top Reasons Why SEO Is Not Dead

While it is not uncommon to hear people within the industry claim that SEO is dead (the query "is SEO dead" gets 100 searches a month in New Zealand alone!), those who are truly in the know certainly know otherwise. SEO is not just surviving.....it is thriving! Let's take a closer look at the five main reasons why....

1) It Continues to Evolve

In order to survive, we must adapt and this is certainly true of the search engine optimisation business. Google will continue to update all of its search algorithms as the years go on. This is why SEO companies in Auckland work tirelessly to make sure that they are accommodating the individual user.

2) Businesses Still Benefit from Using SEO

SEO cannot possibly be dead if so many businesses are continuing to rely upon it, right? As long as clients continue to hire search engine optimisation companies to assist them in achieving all of their most important goals, there is no way that SEO can ever truly die. It is still one of the most reliable methods that small and midsize businesses have available to them.

3) Google Also Continues to Evolve

If search engine optimisation was dead....why would Google decide to continue updating all of their search engine algorithms? Why are there two other popular search engines (Bing and Yahoo) that also rely on similar algorithms? We rest our case.

4) Marketing Budgets Are on The Rise

Businesses are allotting larger portions of their budgets to search engine optimisation. This is a sure sign that it is not going anywhere anytime soon. The return on investment for small and midsize businesses is tough to beat.

5) Technical Advances Are Being Made

The days of simply filling a page with keywords are long gone. Search engines are not in the business of attempting to cajole the browser. All content is designed to be as informative as possible.

    Sprocket has experts who can take your digital marketing to the next level, and you get personalised service with a dedicated account manager to help you achieve growth. Great to deal with.
    Daisuke Kirihara
    I have been working with Sprocket for about 6 months, and the team has delivered outstanding results, giving us one of the best return for every dollar we spent through them. I have worked with digital agencies across Asia, Europe, and NZ over 15 years, but the ROI improvement I have seen Sophie and the team deliver is best in class. If you are a result-focused marketer who needs an agency to get you results, try letting them run your campaign. It worked great for us.
    Sheree Palmer
    Great Team to work with, communication is great and they are actively engaged with working with you.

    We own Better to Give . We have only been working with Harry at Sprocket for a few months, but as a brand new E-Comm start up we knew we needed someone who could build our sales with fast and effective campaigns. We are very happy with our progress thus far and look forward to a long prosperous working relationship.

    Covid lockdowns meant complete operational shut down for our small NZ owned business. However, in the last few months we have finally got back up and running again with the help from Josh and his Sprocket team.Their understanding, resources and communication has been unwavering in this process and we have seen measurable results month on month. Trust plays a big role in digital marketing and I believe their formula is full proof.Sprocket has had a big role to play in getting our small business back on it's feet. I couldn't recommend this company enough!

    Maggie from Astound Smile
    We have worked with a couple of other agencies that did not deliver and I'm impressed with the level of service, support & results we get from Sprocket. Within a few weeks of working with Sprocket, we can see immediate improvement on our sales. Harry and the team has taken the time to understand our business and continue to work on delivering results. We look forward to continue working with Sprocket to grow our business. If you are looking for a result-focused agency, you can't go wrong with Sprocket!

    We have worked with Sprocket since 2017 with two businesses and their service has always been exceptional. Both businesses experienced high growth due to the help from the Sprocket team. Josh has a vast knowledge, has been unbelievably helpful and even helped us out on a few occasions out of office hours. Can't thank him enough. Highly recommend Sprocket for any ecommerce businesses looking to increase their growth.

    We've found Ronnie, Dan and the team at Sprocket to be great so far. Onboarding process was nice and easy, and they have been available at any time to help us with any queries we've had. We're pleased with the results so far and the growth we've seen, and look forward to continuing to grow both the business and our relationship!
    Matt Boylan
    This is the second time I have used Sprocket Digital in my role as Marketing Manager for small to medium sized businesses. Given our marketing team is very small and we don't have a specific digital marketing resource internally, it gives me peace of mind knowing that all our digital needs are being outsourced to Sprocket. On both occasions of working with Sprocket, the team have very quickly got up to speed on our business. The setup is seamless and my regular meetings with the team help to identify opportunities for us to leverage. The entire team are really knowledgeable and down to earth even though they have some very experienced people working on our account. I would highly recommend Sprocket to any other business who wants expert advice and guidance on their digital marketing with an accessible and down to earth approach.
    Meelee Joe

    FINALLY... a digital marketing company that actually gets the results. This is the 5th business I have dealt with in the last 7 years - and the only business that has proven results. Our sales have increased hugely and it's only been 1 month. Harry is amazing to work with and the whole team at Sprocket Digital know exactly what they're doing. The results speak for themselves. Highly recommend!

    Absolute weapons! I called these guys up and advised our quality and quantity of leads were poor. I was introduced to Ethan who has gone above and beyond for us and the results are brilliant. This is a team who will care for your business like their own. Upwards and onwards!

They always continue to impress with the work they do.

    I really enjoy working with Sprocket. I've worked with them on two different projects now; they're data driven, great communicators & listeners as well as extremely good value/above board. They helped us improve our Google quality and conversions by nearly double. I would definitely recommend them.
    Megan Blincoe
    We are a new Client of Sprocket and I cannot fault them! Especially Ethan, he has been so available and clearly knows what he's talking about. He has been very patient with us and has thoroughly updated and explained every part of the set up and progress to date. Highly recommend using Sprocket Digital
