Are your customers located in Central Auckland, CBD or Wider Auckland?


A photo taken from the side of Mount Roskill - you can never take enough of these photos if you're planning on writing Articles as a long-term marketing strategy to make sure you get the word out in the suburbs you want customers to call you from in Auckland Central/CBD (in this tip).


In addition to yourself, your vehicle, equipment and any other machinery that you would want your customers to understand that you have at first glance, it is also important WHERE you take your photo. This applies no matter where you are in New Zealand but if you or your customers are in Central Auckland then this tip is particularly helpful for you. You are going to need a Website Design that reflects your location and the location of your customers.


Even if your vehicle doesn’t have signage, take it up there, park it in the spot indicated below, and parked on the right angle, it will sit in the foreground of the shot and many central Auckland homes and of course the landmark Sky Tower will be visible in the background. Even without your logo on the side, it still represents capability, and you the friendly NZ website team at Dazzly can always help you photoshop your logo on to the side of the vehicle digitally anyway.


Having this immediately recognizable location will communicate to your customer that your business is locally based and so are your customers. It gives them the first impression that you have local knowledge, will be available to physically attend to their property or business in a timely manner, and if you have multiple vehicles, equipment, people (staff!), or anything else to demonstrate your capacity then if safely possible transport it to this spot on Mount Albert to take a great picture and represent your business with your best foot, tyre, and tools facing forward (towards the camera!).


Snap - this is the best possible way to start the your self-driven website design journey in NZ - with an easy photo that will make the first impression that a well thought out photo (visual design) can do for you.


Auckland is lucky to have great weather, although it can be unpredictable. However, we think this little venture up Mount Roskill is worth the risk…


You can access this perfect spot for an Auckland Website Design Home Page Photo by coming off the Southwestern Motorway, Dominion Road exit, in Auckland. Convenient located if you're coming from the North Shore or South Auckland.

Park your vehicle here correctly angled at approximately 11AM on a good weather day for the perfect shot of your vehicle, staff, equipment and yourself with the Sky Tower and Auckland Cityscape in the background.

So, either next time you’re driving past on the motorway or doing a job in Mount Roskill, Mount Albert or Hillsborough, don’t forget to pop up the road to visit this excellent gem of a photo spot and capture the best first impression of your business and represent yourself as well as possible with your website. As with everything on Dazzly, you can always use your mobile device embed the photo into the website directly as you take it.


Besides the home page, where else would you put photos such as this?


Well, each time you write an Article, you will need to have at least one photo associated with it. Search engines are intelligent. If you use pictures that clear show Auckland city, it isn’t just relevant to your customers, it is also noted by Google, Yahoo, Bing and other search engines and can therefore be used to grow your website when you use photos in Articles too..


We like to keep these tips short – so there you have it – if you have a vehicle with signage or any equipment/machinery that can be safely driven to this spot, then make sure you check it out some time and while you’re in the area, pop in and see the team at Dazzly and we’ll make you a cup of coffee, critique your photo skills and discuss the latest happenings in your business. Remember to dress your best for the shot – make sure you’re in it too – and if you’re unsure if you’re comfortable then take some with and some without – and don’t forget to SMILE!


A photo to the rear of the location but still useful to collect miscellaneous photos of Auckland that can be used in your website Articles to grow your website traffic to attract Central Auckland residents to your small business website.
