We started Refined because businesses kept being sold the same recycled packages by agencies they never actually spoke to. So we built the opposite: a Kiwi-owned team in Grey Lynn where the strategists, media buyers, developers, shooters and editors sit together, and you talk to all of them.

Book a free strategy call. We will look at your site, your data and your market and tell you honestly where the biggest wins are.
No black box and no monthly PDF that arrives too late to act on. Refined Analytics shows enquiries, orders and return on spend as they happen, and a weekly report from the people doing the work explains what we changed and what is next.
What New Zealand business owners ask us before starting conversion optimisation.
New Zealand businesses are sold clicks, impressions and redesigns. Nobody asks why visitors leave. Here is what usually goes wrong, and how we run it instead.
Research, copy, design, development and tracking sit in the same Grey Lynn studio, so a finding on Monday can be a live change by Friday rather than a ticket for someone else.
Every key page, form and checkout step reviewed against analytics and recordings to find where visitors leave and why.
GA4, server-side tracking and conversion APIs set up first, so every change can be measured on enquiries and revenue rather than guessed.
Heatmaps, session recordings, surveys and customer questions that show what people are trying to do and what stops them.
Headlines, product and service content, proof and calls to action rewritten to answer the question and ask for the sale. Often the biggest lever.
Tests run properly on the pages that matter, and dedicated landing pages for Google and Meta campaigns that match the message people clicked.
Friction removed from forms and checkouts, slow pages fixed, built by developers who work on Shopify, Webflow and WordPress every day.
The same framework on every site and store, scoped to your traffic and margins. Nothing is set and forgotten.
GA4, server-side tracking and conversion events checked and fixed, so the baseline is real before anything changes.
Every key page, form and checkout step reviewed against the data to find where visitors drop off and what the quick wins are.
Heatmaps, recordings, surveys and your sales team's inbox, to understand why people hesitate, not just where.
Ideas ranked by expected impact, confidence and effort. Content and high-traffic pages near the point of conversion usually come first.
Our writers, designers and developers make the changes. Where traffic allows we A/B test; where it does not, we ship the research-led fix and measure.
Winners rolled out, losers learnt from, the next round queued. You see conversion and revenue move live and hear from us weekly.
Three disciplines, one team. We find out why visitors leave, change what the evidence points to, and measure the result on enquiries and revenue.
Analytics shows where people drop off. Recordings, heatmaps, surveys and your sales inbox show why. We combine them before anyone proposes a change.
Copy, proof and page structure usually move the most. Our writers, designers and developers build the changes and A/B test them where traffic allows.
Tracking is fixed before the first change. Conversion rate, enquiries and revenue by page and channel appear in Refined Analytics as they move, with a weekly note on what we did.

No packages and no hidden fees. Your investment is set by the size of the opportunity and the work needed to capture it, and you see where every hour goes: research, content, design, development and testing.
Request a strategyHow much traffic and how many conversions the site has, which sets what can be tested and what should simply be fixed.
One landing page and form, or a full store from collection to checkout, changes the volume of research and build.
Analytics and recordings alone, or surveys, customer interviews and competitor reviews on top.
How much copy, design and development each round of changes needs on your platform.

“Refined took our business to the next level.”
Conversion rate optimisation is the discipline of getting more enquiries, orders or bookings from the visitors you already have. It is the cheapest growth most businesses never buy, because it is easier to be sold more traffic than to ask why the current traffic leaves. Every one percent lift in conversion makes every dollar you spend on SEO, Google Ads and Meta ads work harder, which is why our CRO team sits in the same Grey Lynn studio as the people running those channels. We work with service businesses, B2B companies and online stores across New Zealand, and we measure the work the same way every time: on the enquiries and revenue that reach your bank account, tracked live in Refined Analytics.
Most sites we audit cannot answer a simple question: which pages and channels produce enquiries, and how many? Forms fire twice, purchases are missed, and ad platforms report numbers that do not match the till. Before we change a word, we fix GA4, set up server-side tracking and conversion APIs and agree what counts as a conversion. That gives a baseline you can trust, so when a page changes you know whether it worked. It also means every CRO win shows up in your SEO and paid media reporting, because they are reading the same data.
Analytics shows where people leave. Heatmaps and session recordings show what they were doing when they left. Surveys, reviews and your sales team's inbox show what they were worried about. We put those together to understand why a page loses people, then rank fixes by expected impact, the confidence the research gives us and the effort to build. High-traffic pages close to the point of conversion, such as product pages, checkouts, pricing and enquiry forms, usually come first. We do not test button colours while the content is the problem.
Proferlo Furniture had steady traffic and a store that was not converting it. We did not redesign the site or add ad spend. We rewrote and restructured the content across collections and product pages so each one answered what shoppers were asking, showed proof of quality and made the next step obvious. Once that content was live, online revenue rose on the same traffic. That pattern repeats across most sites we see: the words, structure and evidence on a page matter more than the layout around them. Our CRO work therefore starts with copy and messaging, written by people who understand your product, and uses design and development to make the content land.
A/B testing needs enough visitors and conversions to give a reliable answer, so high-traffic stores and lead-generation sites can run a steady programme of tests on their key pages. Lower-traffic sites still benefit: research-led fixes to forms, speed, messaging and page structure are shipped directly and measured against the baseline. Either way, tests are set up to Google's guidance, time-limited and never cloaked, so CRO helps rather than hurts your SEO. Many improvements, such as faster pages and clearer content, lift rankings as well as conversion. For paid campaigns we build dedicated landing pages that match each message, which usually convert better than sending ad traffic to a homepage.
The weakness of most CRO is the handover: an agency writes recommendations and someone else never builds them. Our writers, designers and developers work on Shopify, Webflow and WordPress every day, so a finding becomes a live change quickly, built properly and tracked. Conversion rate, enquiries and revenue by page and channel appear in Refined Analytics as they move, and you hear from us weekly on what we tested, what won, what we rolled out and what is next. If the platform itself is holding you back, we will tell you, and our website team can rebuild it. Usually, though, the biggest gains are already waiting on the site you have.
A furniture retailer with steady traffic and a store that was not converting it. No redesign and no extra ad spend: we rewrote and restructured the content across the store so each page answered what shoppers were asking and made the next step obvious. The same visitors started buying.
