Company: Mitre 10
Dates: July 2019
The Challenge
Mitre 10 was replatforming everything within their group, from point-of-sale terminals through to the intranet. This included the daunting challenge of migrating their external facing website.
It was quickly concluded that this task could not be conquered alone. They needed an agency who were experts in Analytics and SEO, with the ability to manage such a large and complex site migration job.
After asking around both NZ and Australia, Mitre 10 were referred to Search Republic. The rest is history.
The Search Republic Difference
- We undertook a pre and post-migration SEO audit, rolling out analytics across all touchpoints. This included advanced e-commerce, goal identification, and all conversion set-ups.
- Search Republic team members moved into Mitre 10’s offices for the duration of the project to be close to the project management and IT teams.
- We set up benchmarking across all of Mitre 10’s SEO to understand what was happening before the platform migration. This provided us with a baseline for comparison and the ability to quickly identify where any drop in traffic or other issues were coming from.
- We also created a detailed map of all conversions set up in analytics, including advanced e-commerce.
- During the 6 week migration, Search Republic became an integrated partner in the Mitre 10 project team. Our consistent engagement with the IT and marketing teams during the process allowed us to make continual adjustments in alignment with Mitre 10’s goals.
Search Republic drove a 12% increase in
organic sales in the first 6 months after roll out.
The Results
- Organic traffic dropped directly after launch, however within 3 months had regained and increased by 10%.
- Organic sales increased 12% over the following 6 months.
- 500 new keywords moved into position 1 – 3 in the first three months after the audit.
- All forms of tracking pulled data correctly, including advanced e-commerce tracking and cross domain tracking.
What our clients say
It's been great to work with Search Republic on both short and long term campaigns. They have a team of experts who can pick up a brief and help you execute to the highest level. I've enjoyed their can-do attitude and being able to continuously improve the performance of precious ad dollars.

Search Republic are one of the better companies I've worked with. Usually we're not a fan of outsourcing work but it is hard to compete with the digital skills of SR. Brad, Karl, Isaac are not only shareholders, they're also deeply involved in the work SR do. If you've got a need for digital marketing or SEO check these guys out first.
Peter Smith, OwnerFoodbox
Brad and his team at Search Republic have been fantastic. They are incredibly professional and have added significant value. I highly recommend their services!
Sarah Cotterall, OwnerSilk & Steel
Search Republic is a specialist in Google Search and SEO and as such know and understand their product very well. Often agencies that dabble in Search and SEO and don't do it well. It is a science with ever moving goal posts and its single focus means Search Republic is right on top of how to get the best results.
