About Authentic Digital
Authentic Digital, styled authentic digital and formerly Online Asset Partners, is an SEO and paid search agency in Kingsland, Auckland, operating since about 2010, with a team page listing 12 people, all based in New Zealand. Its leaders include general manager Craig Martin and principal consultant David Cranwell, and Laurie Turnbull leads SEO and AI optimization. It serves New Zealand and Australia with SEO, Google, Meta and LinkedIn ads, and an AI optimization line that starts with a fixed-scope AI Visibility Audit across ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Perplexity, followed by an ongoing program to monitor and influence how AI platforms describe a brand.
It publishes its prices: AI and SEO packages from $1,995 a month, ad management from $995 and projects from $1,500. It names Semrush Enterprise as its tooling and says it was New Zealand's first Semrush Enterprise agency partner; Semrush's partner listing for it exists. Its SEO case studies carry figures for named clients, including Dulux at 183.45% growth in organic traffic revenue, and Google shows 5.0 from 26 reviews describing SEO and Google Ads work.
The AI search evidence is one qualitative case. For Tile Space it reports resolving a brand confusion in AI answers within weeks and a rise in ChatGPT references, with no figure. Four of the 12 people are paid media specialists, and AI search is an estimated 10-20% of the work. The outside record is thin: no Clutch, Trustpilot, G2 or DesignRush profile, and the newest Google review is from October 2025. Its Google Premier Partner status is claimed on the site without verification on Google's directory, and no legal entity or founder is named.

Our verdict
Authentic Digital suits a New Zealand business that wants SEO and Google Ads from a small local team at published prices, with an audit of how AI platforms describe its brand.
The case for it is price transparency and a long SEO record: packages from $1,995 a month on its own site, a Dulux engagement running since 2020 with a stated revenue figure, and Semrush Enterprise named as the tooling for AI visibility work.
The caution is that AI optimization is a newer and lightly evidenced line. The one AI case has no number, no reviewer mentions AI work, and the outside record is 26 Google reviews with none in the past year.
Pros
- Publishes prices on its own site: AI and SEO packages from $1,995 a month, ad management from $995, projects from $1,500
- Names Semrush Enterprise as its AI visibility tooling and has a Semrush partner listing
- Named SEO clients with figures: Dulux at 183.45% growth in organic traffic revenue, Storm Rides at 320% growth in organic revenue
- A fixed-scope AI Visibility Audit covering ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Perplexity, run by a named SEO and AI optimization lead
- 5.0 from 26 Google reviews
Cons
- An SEO and paid search agency with AI optimization as a newer line: its one AI search case, Tile Space, reports no figure.
- Thin outside record: 26 Google reviews, the newest from October 2025, and no Clutch, Trustpilot, G2 or DesignRush profile.
- A 12-person team in which four are paid media specialists, so AI search work rests on a small group.
- No founder or legal entity is named on the site.
