1. Executive summary

• Organic already out-earns everything you pay for. Organic search brought 7,889 sessions and 218 orders last year, roughly $90,500 at your actual average order value. Every paid channel combined brought three times the traffic, 191 orders and cost $24,500 in media. GA4 + Web Ninja
• You appear across the category and win almost none of it. Non-branded queries are 87% of your impressions and produce a 0.43% click-through rate, against 3.18% on your own name. Only 1.1% of your non-branded impressions sit in the top three positions; 38.6% sit at position 21 or worse. Search Console
• Your analytics cannot see money. GA4 fires the purchase event on 653 of your 655 real orders, so the tracking works, but it carries no revenue value. Twelve months of data returns $0. No one at Peacock Bros can currently say what any channel is worth. GA4

Your online store took 655 orders worth $272,014 in the twelve months to 31 July. Those orders came from 336 customers, and 118 of them ordered more than once. Those repeat buyers are 35% of your customers and 69% of your online revenue, worth an average of $1,591 each a year against $387 for a one-time buyer.

That changes what search is for. You are not buying orders at $415 a time. You are buying customers who reorder consumables, and who then also buy through your account and service channels. Every new customer organic search brings you is worth multiples of the first order.

2. How AI-ready you are today: the AEO scorecard

We score every brand against the same four-pillar model. Each pillar runs one to five, worth 25 points. Certified, our AI-Ready baseline, is Professional on all four, which is 80 out of 100.

3. The market you are missing: search and AI

New Zealanders run about 10,638 non-branded searches a month across the categories Peacock Bros sells into: label printers, barcode scanners, labels and consumables, mobile computers, ID card printers, labelling software, and the service and compliance questions around them. That is 127,656 searches a year, before anyone types your name.

Ninety terms were triangulated across Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush and Ahrefs, taking the median of the three so no single tool sets the number. Twenty-four of those ninety disagree by a factor of three or more between tools, which is why one source is never enough.

Search Console shows 195,287 non-branded impressions in twelve months producing 832 clicks. That is a 0.43% click-through rate against 3.18% on branded terms. Google is already showing you to the right people. Position is the problem, not relevance.

Fourteen of the ninety terms we triangulated already return a Google AI Overview on the New Zealand results page, including barcode scanner nz, id card printer, zebra zd421, thermal paper rolls, warehouse scanner and rfid tags nz. AI Overviews are assembled from the top of the results, and you are not there.

The measured consequence: AI assistants sent peacocks.co.nz 26 sessions in twelve months. ChatGPT alone sent 104 referral sessions across the same period. Both numbers are effectively zero for a business of your size, and both are entirely fixable, because your robots.txt already welcomes every AI crawler and your pages are server-rendered. The engines can read you. There is simply nothing to quote.

We built a library of 141 buying questions real customers ask an assistant in this category, from "what's the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer" to "what are the allergen labelling rules in New Zealand" to "who supplies barcode printers and labels in New Zealand". Peacock Bros could credibly own the answer to 138 of them. Your competitors are not answering them either. This is open ground.

4. The opportunity, in dollars

Everything below is anchored to your non-branded baseline. Searches for "peacock bros" are demand you already own and we never count them as upside. The growable slice is $71,285 of organic revenue a year.

Growing your share of the winnable click pool from today's 8%:

Your site produced 719 non-purchase actions last year: 319 direct enquiries and 400 new account registrations. Organic search drives 28.3% of all your key events despite being only 13.5% of your sessions, and about 160 of those actions a year trace to non-branded organic. Growing non-branded traffic multiplies them at the same rate.

5. The six-month transformation

Three phases, run in order, and we move through them as your site is ready rather than on a stopwatch. Foundations fixes what stops engines reading and buyers converting: Core Web Vitals, schema across the catalogue, the FAQ layer, and a measurement rebuild so GA4 finally records revenue. Own your territories builds the answer content across the clusters where demand sits and you have nothing, starting with troubleshooting, compliance, supplier selection and RFID. Authority and compounding turns your 469 referring domains into rankings and earns the citations that get you quoted in AI answers. Full scope, phasing and investment sit on the offer tab.

Appendix A · Where you sit today

Twelve months to 31 July 2026. Revenue is derived from your Web Ninja order data at your actual average order value, because GA4 records none.

Appendix B · The demand detail

The top of the triangulated basket. Working volume is the median of Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush and Ahrefs. Full workings, all 90 terms and all 141 prompts sit in the data workbook.

Appendix C · Where to play

Fourteen clusters, sized by combined keyword and prompt demand, against what exists on your site today.

Appendix D · Who you are up against

Appendix E · The measurement gap

This one deserves its own section because it affects every decision you make about marketing spend.

• GA4 records no revenue. The purchase event fires on 653 of your 655 real orders, so the tracking is wired correctly, but it carries no value parameter. Twelve months of data returns $0 revenue and 0 transactions. Every revenue figure in this document had to be reconstructed from Web Ninja order totals.
• Your Google Ads conversion rate is not measuring sales. Ads reports 7.21% on 20,800 clicks, roughly 1,500 conversions, for the year to 30 June. Your entire online store took 655 orders across every channel in a comparable period. Those conversions are form fills and enquiries, which are valuable, but they are not orders and the two have never been reconciled.
• Two channels are producing nothing. Display and Paid Other took 8,612 sessions between them and generated zero orders and effectively zero key events.
• There is no AI visibility tracking at all, so there is no way to know whether you are quoted, cited or ignored when a buyer asks an assistant.

Appendix F · Where the numbers come from

• Orders, revenue, customers and repeat rate come from your Web Ninja admin, all 655 orders in the twelve months to 31 July 2026, read directly and totalled.
• Sessions, channels, conversion rates and event counts come from GA4 property 325191335, same period.
• Impressions, clicks, positions and the branded split come from Google Search Console for peacocks.co.nz, same period. Branded means any query containing your name or a common misspelling. Branded queries are never anonymised by Google, so everything Search Console withholds is non-branded, which is how the non-branded click total is derived.
• Keyword volumes are the median of Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush and Ahrefs, pulled 10 August 2026 for New Zealand. Where the three disagree by more than 3x, the median protects against a single tool's error. Close variants sharing an Ahrefs parent topic contribute once, not repeatedly, so the category total is not inflated.
• Total category size is the top 100 non-branded terms across 16 category seeds, filtered to what Peacock Bros actually sells, with a 1.35 long-tail factor for terms below the reporting cut.
• Prompt volumes are directional. Conversational prompts have no reported search volume, so each is anchored to its triangulated head term with an uplift for the many ways the same question gets asked. They are bands, not measurements, and are labelled as such in the workbook.
• Competitor metrics come from Ahrefs, New Zealand, 9 August 2026. Page speed is Lighthouse mobile on your homepage, 10 August 2026. Schema and content coverage come from a crawl of 41 representative pages against your 629-URL sitemap.
• The value of a trade account is the one figure we have not measured, because it lives in your ERP. Layer two is shown as a range until you supply it.
