Someone searching for a fencing contractor is usually comparing two or three quotes for a boundary fence, a gate, or a retaining wall, deciding mostly on price and how tidy past jobs look. Your website’s job is to make that comparison easy and honest. We build it first, from what is already public about you, and then give it to you. It costs nothing to have and nothing to keep.
“Fencing contractor [town] quote”, “retaining wall builder near me”, “boundary fence cost”: most of this is scheduled, not urgent, which means people have time to compare two or three companies on photos and price before they call any of them.
That changes what the website is for. It is there so the first thing anyone sees is a straight, tidy fence line or wall in a recent photo — the clearest evidence a stranger has that the finished job will look right.
Plain boundary or timber fencing usually does not need a Licensed Building Practitioner. A retaining wall over 1.5 metres, or one holding back a surcharge like a driveway, generally does — it needs a building consent and often falls under the LBP Site class or a chartered engineer’s design. Being upfront about which of your jobs need consent and which do not is a real trust signal, not a technicality.
Most people hiring a fencing contractor have no idea where that line sits. Saying it plainly on your own website, rather than letting someone find out the hard way after the wall is built, is one of the simplest ways to look like you know what you are doing.
Nothing. We build the page from what is already public about your business and send you the link. If you want it, we put it live and you pay us nothing for it. There is no card, no trial, and no fee that starts later. It sits at an address of ours, not your own domain name, and it carries one line at the bottom saying we built it.
It asks one thing of you. Once a year we send one message asking whether the details are still right, and two reminders over the month after it. If we cannot reach you, the page comes down — a page with your name and a wrong phone number on it is worse for you than no page at all. It also comes down when you ask, for any reason or none, within five New Zealand working days at the latest, and we will not ask you why.
The only thing you can pay for is changes made for you. You message us a new price, new hours, a holiday closure or a photo of the new van, and we make the change, within five New Zealand working days at the latest. That is NZ$299 for the year, and it includes your own domain name registered in your business name and email on it. No monthly fee, no minimum term, and it does not renew itself. No GST is added. The full terms are here.
If somebody else would suit you better — and for plenty of fencing contractors they would — we have listed every option we could find, with the price each company publishes on its own site: who should build your website.
We build the first version of your page from your Google Business Profile, your Facebook page, and anything else already public about your business, then send you the link. You look at it before anything happens. If you do not want it we take it down, you owe nothing, and we will not contact you about it again.
If you have not claimed your Google Business Profile yet, It matters even more for a fencing contractor than for most trades, because getting a retaining wall wrong — unconsented, over height, badly engineered — is expensive to fix and easy for a homeowner to be blindsided by. The walkthrough is here: how to claim your Google Business Profile in New Zealand.
Being straight with you: we build and host the website, not your Google Business Profile, because that needs a verified New Zealand address and we are not in New Zealand. The walkthrough above covers the whole process yourself; it takes about twenty minutes and it is free.
Usually not for plain boundary or timber fencing. It usually does for a retaining wall over 1.5 metres, or one holding back a driveway or other surcharge, which generally needs a building consent as well. Saying which of your jobs fall into which category is a genuine trust signal.
Your trade, the towns you cover, a phone number that gets answered, and recent photos of finished fences, gates and walls. Straight lines in a photo do more work than a paragraph about your company history.
Yes. Fencing, gates and retaining walls sit close enough together in how people search and quote that the same page structure works for all of them.
For a lot of trades, a Facebook page covers most of what people need day to day. What it does not do well is show up when someone searches your trade and town on Google rather than on Facebook, and it can look less permanent to someone checking you out before they call. We wrote the comparison up properly here: Facebook page or website, for a New Zealand trade business. If you are not showing up in a search at all — not even for your own business name — here is why, in the order it usually happens.
Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one, and if we can, we email you the link to look at. There is nothing to pay at any point for the page itself.
Not a fencing contractor? See the same approach for plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, landscapers, auto electricians, painters, plasterers, scaffolders, gardeners and lawn care businesses, handyman businesses, tilers, concreters, gutter cleaning businesses, pest control businesses, locksmiths and glaziers.
Based in a main centre? See the same approach for businesses in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Hamilton, or see every trade and city.
Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one — this is one person, so we cannot build for everyone who asks. Either way there is nothing to pay.
