Strategic Link Building & Authority Services for NZ Businesses
Tui Digital, we recognize that by 2026, the definition of a “link” has evolved. Search engines no longer just count votes; they analyze intent, context, and trust. Our link-building services are designed to position your brand as the definitive authority in your niche. We don’t just help you rank on Page 1; we ensure your business is the primary source cited by Google AI Overviews (SGE) and conversational search engines.
Whether you are a Christchurch local business or a national enterprise in Auckland, our approach is built on the E-E-A-T framework (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness). We move beyond transactional SEO to create a “moat” around your brand through high-integrity link acquisition.
There’s something you’d like altered or perhaps there’s something that isn’t quite working the way you’d like it to have worked out? Maybe your van could do with an update because it’s a little bit past its best, perhaps?

Local Link Building: Street-Level Authority
For many New Zealand businesses, the most valuable customers are in their own backyard. Our specialized local SEO link-building strategy ensures that when Kiwis search for services “near me,” your business is the most trusted recommendation.
Regional Press & Media
We secure mentions in local news outlets and community hubs, from The Press in Christchurch to regional Auckland news sites.
NZ-Specific Directories
We manage placements in high-influence NZ directories like Yellow, Neighbourly, and Localist, ensuring your NAP (Name, Address, Phone) data is 100% consistent.
Strategic Local Partnerships
We facilitate link-sharing and co-marketing opportunities between non-competing local businesses (e.g., a Canterbury property manager linking to a local renovation specialist).
National Authority: AI-Ready Citation Strategies
To dominate the national market, you need links that function as citations. Modern search algorithms prioritize websites that are mentioned by other authoritative voices. Our national strategy is focused on “Topical Authority.”
The “Citation-First” Outreach Model
We don’t send mass templates. Our outreach team identifies the “influencers of information” in your industry—industry journals, national blogs, and educational resources—and provides them with value that earns a link.
Digital PR & Data Studies: We create “link-worthy assets,” such as proprietary New Zealand industry reports or data visualizations, that national journalists want to cite.
High-End Guest Placements: We secure positions for your subject matter experts to share insights on major NZ business platforms, building your personal and brand authority simultaneously.
Resource Page Placements: We position your services on “Best of” lists and resource hubs that are frequently crawled by AI agents to generate search summaries.
Our Quality Gatekeeping: The Tui Standard
| Criteria | What We Look For | Why It Matters |
| Relevance | Is the site in your niche or a related NZ industry? | Prevents “unnatural link” flags. |
| Real Traffic | Does the site actually have Kiwi visitors? | A link from a site with zero traffic has zero value. |
| Editorial Integrity | Does a human editor review the content? | Protects your brand from low-quality “link farms.” |
| AI Crawlability | Is the site structure accessible to AI search agents? | Ensures your link helps you appear in AI Overviews. |
| Sentiment | Is the context around the link positive/neutral? | Builds trust with both users and algorithms. |
The Tui Digital Process: Transparency at Every Step
We follow a people-first “Who, How, and Why” methodology to ensure our work stands the test of any Google Core Update.
Discovery & Audit: We map your “Link Gap”—identifying exactly which links your competitors have that you are missing.
Asset Creation: Our content team builds “Link Magnets”—guides, tools, or articles so helpful that they naturally attract citations.
Human-to-Human Outreach: We build real relationships with NZ editors and webmasters. No bots, no spam.
Live Monitoring & AI Tracking: We provide a dashboard showing your new links, their Domain Authority (DA), and—crucially—whether your brand is being cited in AI search results.
