73% increase in Organic Search visits to Pak’n Save’s butchery category

Pak’n Save has always had a clear proposition: New Zealand’s lowest food prices.

As more customers started using online shopping, the website content needed to reflect that same promise. For butchery, that meant simple, search-focused shopping guides that helped customers choose the right cuts of meat for their needs and budget.
The brief

Grow organic visibility for the butchery category

Pak’n Save needed a content plan that would help more shoppers find its butchery category through Organic Search and Organic Google Shopping, then choose the right cuts of meat once they arrived.

What we did

Built shopping guides around how people choose meat

I created easy-to-read guides across the butchery category, helping shoppers compare cuts, understand value, and answer practical questions about buying, storing and cooking.

Product categorisation

Reviewed how products were grouped and surfaced so the site better matched real grocery search behaviour.

Technical SEO

Worked with development teams to improve crawlability, indexation and the technical signals behind online shopping visibility.

Product feed quality

Improved Merchant Centre feed foundations so more products had a stronger chance of appearing through Organic Google Shopping.

The result

A stronger organic pathway for butchery shoppers

The work helped Pak’nSave improve how its butchery category appeared across Organic Search and Organic Google Shopping.

By creating clearer, more useful category content around meat cuts, shopper questions and practical buying decisions, Pak’nSave’s butchery category achieved a 73% year-on-year increase in visits from Organic Search and Organic Google Shopping.
