Drone Spray

Regional drone services provider delivering aerial spraying, seeding, roof cleaning and surveying to Canterbury and Northland farmers and commercial properties.

Strong field capability, poor online conversion of premium farm contracts.

Drone Spray has built real operational coverage across Canterbury and Northland and a body of case work for farming and property clients. That operational credibility and the off-site footprint of 1,201 backlinks from 62 referring domains are not turning into consistent scoped farm or commercial contracts. As a result, higher-value regional opportunities are being lost to low-value phone enquiries and unscoped asks.

The good news:

The good news. You have deep regional reach across Canterbury and Northland and five technical services: weed spraying, crop spraying, seeding, roof cleaning and surveying. You also have real off-site authority with 1,201 backlinks from 62 referring domains. If the digital presence catches up, those assets could be turned into a steady stream of higher-value commercial farm contracts and regional retainers.

UX OBSERVATIONS

Hero image and microcopy prioritise atmosphere over proposition, which buries the primary offer and increases drop-off from commercial buyers seeking quick validation and next steps.

Trust cues exist (XAG partner logo, case study thumbnails) but are small and visually de-prioritised, reducing their ability to reassure buyers about capability, compliance and experience for large contracts.

CTAs and decision scaffolding are weak and fragmented; lacking a prominent, action-oriented pathway (evidence, outcomes, contact-for-quote) the site fails to convert enquiries into higher-value commissioned work.

What this means:

What this means. Despite 1,201 backlinks and 62 referring domains, the site is driving only about 11 organic visits last month and traffic is down roughly 61 percent from a year ago. That gap means strong field credibility is being lost at discovery and quoting, so most prospects arrive by phone and the business misses out on pre-scoped, higher-value farm contracts.

The three gaps holding you back

  • Reputation not working hard enough online. You cite XAG partnership and a Pumanawa Farm case study, but those credibility cues are small and de-prioritised on the site, so prospective clients cannot quickly validate capability — costing missed shortlist opportunities for larger contracts.
  • Primary offer is buried visually. The homepage hero prioritises atmosphere over the core commercial proposition, which reduces immediate clarity for farm managers and commercial buyers and increases drop-off when they try to assess fit.
  • Fragmented quoting and evidence path. CTAs, case evidence and safety/scale information are weak or scattered across pages, forcing phone-first contact and lowering conversion rates for higher-value, decision-heavy jobs.

What's possible when these gaps are closed

  1. Win more scoped commercial farm contracts online

    Convert existing interest into scoped, priced contracts so average job value and close rate rise. With only around 11 organic visits per month today, even modest gains in online conversion will produce more qualified, higher-value enquiries rather than one-off phone leads.

  2. Turn backlinks into steady agricultural discovery

    Leverage the existing 1,201 backlinks and 62 referring domains by creating targeted content and local pages that match commercial farm search terms. Improving keyword focus for the 40 ranked keywords and low AI visibility can turn dormant authority into measurable monthly visits.

  3. Guide farmers through clear, priced service pathways

    Present three buyer-focused paths for commercial farms, for example crop spraying, weed control and seeding, with clear scope examples and pricing bands up front. That clarity across your five technical services will reduce price resistance, shorten sales cycles and make it easier to win larger regional contracts.
