Digital marketing changes fast — new platforms, privacy updates, and smarter tools are transforming how businesses connect with customers.

At Right Hand Man, we help NZ small businesses make sense of it all.
Our digital marketing manager service combines proven strategy, up-to-date platforms, and hands-on experience to deliver measurable results.

From Google Ads and Meta advertising to email marketing, SEO, and content creation, we manage your full digital presence so you can focus on running your business.


Google Ads: Precision Targeting in a Privacy-First World

With third-party cookies disappearing, Google Ads has evolved — and so have we.

Our Auckland digital marketing team focuses on:

  • First-party and contextual targeting to reach the right people

  • Performance Max campaign optimisation for better results

  • Conversion tracking and attribution modelling for accuracy

We ensure your ads perform efficiently and ethically in today’s privacy-first environment.

Analytics: Beyond Google Analytics

Data only matters when it leads to action.

We use a mix of analytics tools to translate performance into plain-English insights:

  • Google Analytics 4 for multi-channel reporting

  • Heat-mapping tools to understand user behaviour

  • Concise, visual reports that guide next steps

Our goal is simple: give you clarity and confidence about what’s working — and what’s not.

Email Marketing: Personalisation at Scale

Email remains one of the most effective ways to stay in touch with your customers.

We design campaigns that:

  • Match your brand and audience perfectly

  • Deliver clear, engaging messages

  • Achieve your specific goals — from sales to retention

Every campaign is strategic, well-timed, and focused on results.

SEO: Content-Driven and User-Focused

Search visibility in 2025 is about relevance and credibility, not keyword stuffing.

We help you rank higher and build trust by focusing on:

  • E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness)

  • Content that answers real customer questions

  • Technical optimisation for fast, search-friendly websites

Our SEO strategies strengthen your reputation and attract ready-to-buy customers.

Social Channels: Beyond the Basics

Social and content marketing are where your brand’s personality shines.

We manage:

  • Facebook and LinkedIn advertising

  • Influencer and UGC collaboration strategies

  • Content creation — videos, blogs, and podcasts

  • Meta advertising optimisation for stronger reach

Everything is designed to keep your message consistent and relevant across platforms.

Inbound Marketing: Attract, Engage, Delight

Inbound marketing creates value before the sale ever happens.

We help you:

  • Develop educational content that draws customers in

  • Nurture leads through each stage of their journey

  • Build loyalty with helpful, on-brand communication

  • Stay visible and competitive as new platforms emerge

When customers trust your brand, conversion follows naturally.

Social Media Marketing

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A digital marketing strategy is a structured plan that outlines how a business will use online channels to achieve specific goals — such as building awareness, generating leads, or increasing sales. It connects your overall business objectives with practical actions across search, social, email, content, and paid media. A clear strategy ensures every campaign, post, and ad contributes to measurable growth rather than operating in isolation.

  • A good digital marketing strategy covers:

    • Objectives: What success looks like.

    • Target audience: Who you want to reach.

    • Key messages and positioning.

    • Channels: Which platforms you’ll use (Google Ads, social, email, SEO, etc.).

    • Budgets and timelines.

    • Measurement: How results will be tracked and reported.
      It’s effectively a roadmap linking your marketing activity with your business goals, so every digital touchpoint works together.

  • While definitions vary, the five core strategies often include:

    • Search Engine Optimisation (SEO): Improving visibility in search results.

    • Content Marketing: Creating valuable information that attracts and educates.

    • Social Media Marketing: Building engagement through online communities.

    • Email Marketing: Nurturing relationships and repeat business.

    • Paid Advertising (PPC or display): Driving targeted traffic and conversions.

      Many modern plans also integrate analytics and automation to connect these elements seamlessly.

  • Email remains one of the highest-performing digital channels when it’s personalised and relevant. Modern email marketing goes beyond bulk sends — messages are tailored to customer segments, written with clear intent, and supported by good design. Tracking open rates, clicks, and conversions provides valuable feedback on what resonates with your audience.

  • SEO (search engine optimisation) ensures your business appears when people look for what you offer. In 2025, SEO has evolved well beyond simply targeting keywords. It’s about demonstrating expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness (E-A-T), supported by high-quality content and a technically sound website.

    What’s changing now is the rise of AIO — AI Optimisation. With search engines and AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE) now generating summarised answers, businesses need to optimise not just for search rankings but also for how AI tools understand and represent their brand.

  • It depends on your time, knowledge, and goals. Many business owners are too busy running day-to-day operations to keep up with constant changes in digital platforms.

    A marketing expert brings a fresh, objective view of your business, understands your target audience, and applies data-driven methods to improve performance. Whether you outsource completely or work collaboratively, expert input ensures your marketing remains focused, consistent, and measurable.

Here’s what Simon & Elise have to say about our services:

“In 2021, with our business expansion, we realised we needed a rebrand. In our search for a good marketing agency, RHM stood out. Richard's industry expertise and face-to-face approach impressed us.  Since then, the talented team at RHM have delivered creative ideas that have boosted our market presence.

Beyond the rebrand, RHM now handles our EDM, digital, and print media. They're a boutique agency dedicated to understanding your business and delivering exceptional marketing. I highly recommend RHM!”
