What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Digital marketing and website services form the core of the work praised by trade and service businesses engaging this Mermaid Beach agency. Local search optimisation and business profile management recur as a dominant theme, with clients noting improved rankings, stronger local visibility and more qualified enquiries rather than low-value spam. Technical search repairs appear frequently, as crawl errors and slow loading speeds were identified and corrected, lifting search results and organic traffic. Website design and build draw comparable approval, described as clean, modern and functional, with delivery handled smoothly.

Several reviewers name team members, commending their responsiveness, clear communication and readiness to act on changes quickly. Paid search campaigns are credited with turning quiet pipelines into regular weekly bookings, while automation and customer relationship systems helped capture, track and nurture leads more efficiently. Reviewers also highlight transparent reporting and a preference for lasting outcomes over quick fixes, alongside prompt updates throughout projects. A theme running through the feedback is the proactive, detail-focused approach that clients find dependable and effective for generating consistent work.

Highly recommend this team for Local SEO and Google Business Profile optimisation. They genuinely understand how to help local service businesses attract quality leads instead of wasting time with spam enquiries and low-value jobs. Very professional, transparent with reporting, and focused on long-term results rather than quick fixes. We’ve already noticed better visibility on Google and more relevant customer enquiries. Great communication and excellent service from start to finish.

As an HVAC business, we knew our online presence needed improvement, but we didn’t realise how much it was affecting our growth until we partnered with New Wave Digital Marketing. Sam and the team completely transformed our website, making it faster, more user-friendly, and focused on generating real enquiries. They also implemented a targeted Google Ads and Local SEO strategy that significantly improved our visibility on Google and brought in consistent, high-quality leads. What impressed us most was their strategic approach and ongoing optimisation. Since working with them, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in enquiries, bookings, and overall revenue. Highly recommend New Wave Digital Marketing to any HVAC business wanting better online visibility, more leads, and a website that actually converts.

Their Local SEO strategy helped us improve our Google rankings, increase visibility in our area, and generate more qualified leads. We can highly recommend Sam, Ney and the whole New Wave team for any business wanting better results from Local SEO and more local customers finding them online.
