Search for Impact

About us

We help good businesses get found.

Search for Impact is a small, specialist search agency. We work only with businesses whose growth makes the world a little better, and we measure our work in the customers it brings them.

Why impact

I've spent over a decade helping businesses get found on Google, for companies across New Zealand, Australia and the United States.

I grew up with a hippie dad and inherited his environmental bent, so when I finally got choosy about who I'd work for, impact businesses were the obvious answer.

These days we only do it for companies making the world better, because that's where we want the work to count.

How we choose who we work with

We ask one question before we take anyone on: does this business growing make the world better? Right now that means:

Certified B Corps

Businesses that have proven their standards for people and planet.

Conscious brands

Online stores selling products made better, cleaner or fairer.

Home electrification

Installers helping households move off fossil fuels.

How we work

Customers, not clicks

Every report leads with sales, enquiries and calls. Traffic only matters if it turns into business.

Plain English

No jargon, no hiding behind vanity metrics. You always know what we did and why.

Honest about search

If search isn't the right channel for you yet, we'll say so, even if it means no project.

Specialists only

We only do search, so our depth goes where it counts. We work happily alongside your designers and other partners.

Doing good work? Let's make sure people find it.
