Many businesses expand faster than their website does.
You may have the team, experience and capability to work across multiple locations, but if Google does not understand where you work and what services you provide, potential customers in those areas may never find you.

The website was structured around:
The test focused on one key question:
Can a website structure help Google better understand a business operating across Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch?
The lessons from this project provide practical insights for any business looking to expand into new suburbs, regions or cities.
