Full-Spectrum SEO for Auckland IT

I run an IT services company in Auckland and need a seasoned SEO specialist who can take charge of my entire organic growth plan. We are targeting 50 carefully selected keywords that speak directly to CIOs, IT managers, and business owners here in New Zealand, so genuine knowledge of the IT sector is essential—every page, post, and link must feel authoritative, accurate, and jargon-correct.

On-page priorities
• Keyword optimisation across service pages and blogs
• Clean, compelling content creation that echoes current IT pain-points (cloud migration, cybersecurity, managed services, etc.)
• Robust technical SEO: lightning-fast load times, Core Web Vitals, and full mobile responsiveness

Off-page and backlink strategy
• Guest posts on credible tech and business sites
• Targeted directory submissions within IT and local NZ listings
• Social bookmarking to spark early traction and referral traffic

AI-driven SEO
I’m keen to weave in AI workflows—topic clustering, SERP intent analysis, and competitor gap spotting—to accelerate scaling while maintaining human-level relevance.

Deliverables & success markers
1. A 6-month roadmap covering on-page tasks, link-building cadence, and AI initiatives
2. Monthly reports from Google Search Console, GA4, and a tool of your choice (SEMrush, Ahrefs, or similar) showing ranking movement for all 50 keywords
3. Minimum DA/DR benchmarks for new links and clear evidence of white-hat practices
4. Content pieces ready for publishing, already optimised and internally linked

Please outline the tools you rely on, any past IT-sector wins, and how you’ll divide the work into milestones so I can track progress with confidence.
