New Zealand · September 2026
Christchurch has been rebuilding since the 2011 earthquake, and a huge amount of that work — foundations, plastering, concrete, re-roofing — is still ongoing across the city and out to Selwyn and Waimakariri. That history is a genuine, relevant fact for a Christchurch trade business, not something to avoid mentioning. 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.
Someone searching “foundation repair Christchurch” or “re-plaster Christchurch” is often dealing with earthquake-related work, even now, and they are looking for a business that has actually done that kind of job before, not just general trade work.
That changes what is worth saying on the page. If you have genuine rebuild or repair experience, naming it plainly — the kind of work, not just “since 2011” as a slogan — tells a Christchurch homeowner you understand what they are actually asking for.
Christchurch is flatter and more spread out than Auckland or Wellington, so coverage is usually less about naming exact suburbs and more about whether you go as far as Selwyn, Rolleston or Rangiora. Saying that plainly avoids a wasted call for outlying areas.
The same rule holds here too: a Google Business Profile set correctly to the areas you serve carries more weight for local visibility than the website by itself. The website is what convinces someone once they have found you and are deciding whether to call.
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, 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, 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.
Yes, if it is genuine. A lot of Christchurch trade work is still connected to the rebuild, and naming real experience with foundations, re-plastering or re-roofing after earthquake damage tells a local homeowner you understand the actual job.
Only if you cover them. They are a genuine drive from the central city, so being plain about whether you go that far saves a wasted call either way.
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.
We build the same page for plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, landscapers, auto electricians, painters, plasterers, scaffolders, fencing contractors, gardeners and lawn care businesses, handyman businesses, tilers, concreters, gutter cleaning businesses, pest control businesses, locksmiths and glaziers, anywhere in New Zealand, not just Christchurch.
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.
