We’re proud to have been shortlisted as Global Search Award finalists for Best Use of AI in Search.
Each year, the Global Search Awards celebrate the most outstanding strategies in the SEO industry, attracting submissions from all over the world (up to 195 countries).
This year’s Awards Ceremony will be held in Dublin on 22nd October at The Round Room, Mansion House.
At last year’s event in Krakow, Poland, we were recognised as the Best Global Start-up Agency for 2024. We were also recognised at the APAC Search Awards earlier this year for Best Use of Search in Health for our work with The Collagen Co. Let’s hope we can follow these up with another Global Award!
A huge thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey. This recognition wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work, dedication, and support of our team and valued clients.
Harnessing AI in Search
It’s been a huge year in which the SEO industry has witnessed a seismic shift. The Battle for Search is heating up with the arrival of AI & LLM Search, as strategies move to include LLM Optimisation for platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Overviews, and DeepSeek.
At Kia Ora Digital, we’re here to make sure your business doesn’t get left behind. We continue to build groundbreaking AI tools (like our world-first Revenue Forecast technology, and detailed AI-led analytics) to show clients where the best growth opportunities lie.
As part of our Blended Search strategies, we combine SEO, Paid Search, and LLM Optimisation to optimise your entire strategy towards profit. We get these channels working together, rather than against each other, to reduce your ad spend and eliminate channel cannibalisation.
Using our AI-driven Revenue Forecast technology, we’ve helped our clients to reach up to 10x – 50x monthly ROI without the need for paid ads.

The Power of Blended Search
The current eCommerce model is broken, with too many brands wasting valuable spend on paid ads. Time and time again, we’ve seen clients hinder and cannibalise their search efforts by focusing their money in the wrong places.
Blended Search corrects all of that. By strategically balancing your organic and paid search efforts, you can create a sustainable growth engine while reducing dependency on ads.
We help eCommerce and SaaS brands to:
- Show up in ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini answers
- Get cited, not just ranked
- Reduce Paid spend with smarter, AI-driven allocation
- Forecast revenue across all types of search (not just Google).
Our Revenue Forecast uses AI to uncover advanced data insights. When you combine Blended Search with these AI-driven insights (and expertise from our team), then you can really hit the ground running.
Our Journey as a Global Start-up
We’re proud to be one of the fastest-growing Blended Search & RevOps agencies in the world
From our humble beginnings in New Zealand and Australia, we’ve come a long way from when we first started out in 2022. Last year we expanded into the U.K., EMEA, Brazil and India, along with the United States.
What sets us apart is our determination to push boundaries and redefine what’s possible in Organic Search for E-commerce and SaaS brands. We’re also official Shopify Experts and Partners.

RevOps: We Do SEO Differently
Just as a Blended Search strategy unifies your search efforts to maximise revenue, RevOps (Revenue Operations) brings together your marketing, sales, and customer success teams into one laser-focused approach to drive business growth.
At Kia Ora Digital, we’re dedicated to doing SEO differently with revenue-focused strategies which accelerate your SEO success.
Most agencies lock brands into 12-month contracts while chasing vanity metrics that don’t pay the bills. We blew that up 4 years ago with our unique 4 month sprint model.
From the moment you sign up with us, you know exactly what you’re getting. Each page we optimise is tied directly to revenue and profit.
We’ve seen the benefit in the compounding organic revenue that can come over time from our sprints.
Unlike traditional SEO campaigns that can take 6-12 months to deliver results, our 4 month sprint sets businesses on a path to success in a shorter timeframe. It’s designed to get you the results you want faster while reducing PPC spend and tracking LLM revenue.
Want to find out how we can help you do the same? Get in touch with us today.
Stay tuned for October!
For now, we’ll have our fingers crossed for the Global Search Awards and look forward to hearing the results.
At Kia Ora Digital, we’re committed to innovation and excellence when it comes to providing our clients with our 4 month sprints and revenue-focused SEO services. If you’re curious to see why we’re different from the rest, ask us for your FREE Revenue Forecast today.
