From house painter to web pro: helping Kiwi trades businesses succeed online

RankHigher.co.nz founder

Our Story

RankHigher.co.nz was born from firsthand experience in the trades industry. Our founder started as a house painter in Queenstown, struggling to get consistent work through traditional marketing channels.

After teaching himself web design and SEO to promote his painting business, he was amazed by the results: a steady stream of quality leads coming directly from Google searches. Soon, other local tradespeople were asking for help with their online presence.

What started as a side project quickly grew into a full-time passion. Today, RankHigher.co.nz exclusively serves trades and home-service businesses across New Zealand, combining industry knowledge with digital expertise to deliver websites that actually generate leads and revenue.
