Hiring a technical SEO specialist who is actually based in Tauranga changes the work in ways an offshore hire cannot copy. A small market where reputation travels fast. Understated, honest messaging outperforms hype, and te reo Maori and local references are expected to be handled with care rather than decoration.
Practically, that means your technical SEO specialist writes in the spelling, currency and legal conventions used across New Zealand, references Tauranga and wider Bay of Plenty accurately, works inside your hours so a question does not cost a day, and quotes in NZD. Languages on the bench for this market: English, te reo Maori.

Terms and trust
Plain terms, written down before you commit to anything.
You are a client of The DRAFT ROOOM, not the personal client of the specialist. The contract, the invoice, the confidentiality agreement and the copyright assignment all sit with us.
If a specialist becomes unavailable for any reason, including leaving our bench, we reassign a peer level specialist from the same market and the same discipline at no extra cost. Your brief, your voice guide and your work in progress stay with us, so nothing restarts.
Project work is 50 per cent on acceptance of the scope and 50 per cent on final delivery. Retainers are 50 per cent before the month starts and 50 per cent at the end of that month.
Full commercial copyright transfers to you on final payment. Every specialist has signed a confidentiality agreement and an intellectual property assignment with us before taking a single brief.
Every deliverable is reviewed by a senior Draft ROOOM editor against your brief and your voice guide before it reaches you. Two rounds of revision are included as standard.
Process
Email first from brief to final file. Nothing here needs a meeting.
Step 1
Use the form on this page or write to us directly. Tell us the deliverable, the volume, the deadline and any budget range. No call is needed at any point.
Step 2
You receive a named specialist, their relevant background, a fixed price and a delivery date. If the match is not right, say so and we send an alternative.
Step 3
A short written scope covers deliverables, revisions and dates. Work starts once the deposit clears.
Step 4
Drafts come by email or into your client dashboard, already reviewed by a senior editor. You reply with comments in the same thread.
Step 5
You receive final files, full copyright and, for ongoing work, next month's plan.
