1. Executive summary

• Your search channel has gone unmeasured for more than two years. The Google Analytics property we were given recorded its last sale in February 2022 and stopped recording visits in August 2024, around the move to Shopify. In the last full year it tracked, organic search brought 47,939 of your 90,134 visits (53%), branded and non-branded together. The Google tag on your site today reports to a property we cannot see, and nothing ties your Shopify orders back to search. GA4
• The move to Shopify left a leak. 45 pages from the old site that organic search sent visitors to before the move now return "page not found". They brought in 6,005 organic search visits in that last tracked year, and several are products you still sell, among them the silk duvet inners, Brolly Sheets and the wool bassinet mattress. GA4 Live crawl
• AI is already answering your category. 64% of the search demand we measured sits on Google results that already show an AI Overview. Asked for the best organic mattress in New Zealand, AI-style answers name Natural Beds and Woola, and for futons they name FUTONZ. INNATURE is named for organic cot mattresses, through The Sleep Store's pages. Ahrefs Web search

So the whole opportunity is one sentence: you hold about 6.9% of the non-branded organic clicks for the natural bedding you make, and every extra 1% is worth about $4,386 a year in gross revenue. Your branded traffic, people searching for INNATURE by name, is not part of this and does not change.

Read these figures as directional. Your Analytics stopped recording sales in February 2022 and there is no Search Console access yet, so two inputs are estimates. Today's clicks are modelled from where you rank on Ahrefs for each search. The value of a click uses the last conversion rate and order value your Analytics measured, September 2021 to January 2022: organic search visits converted at 1.13% on a $455 order, so each non-branded click is worth about $5.14. Every column below is non-branded and gross, in New Zealand dollars. The whole model gets re-run on your real Shopify and Search Console numbers once they are connected. GA4, 2021-22 Modelled, directional

The model counts only the core: searches for products you make, with buying intent, where an INNATURE page can credibly rank. The searches outside the core (94,115 a month), from big product heads like bed frames, mattress toppers and bassinets to general mattress-size questions, and "sofa bed" itself, sit on top as upside and are left out of these dollars on purpose.

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

We score every brand out of 100 against our AEO Maturity Model: four pillars (Technical, Content, Authority, Measurement), each out of 25. AI-Ready Certified is 80 out of 100, Professional on all four, the standard we build clients to. You are at 41 today. The technical base is closer to Professional than the score suggests: two fixable problems are holding it at 15.

The detailed findings, how the scoring works, and where every number comes from are in the appendix.

3. The market you are missing: search and AI

A natural mattress or a futon is a considered purchase. People search by product (futon, slat bed, latex mattress topper), by size and by concern (non-toxic, wool-free, made in New Zealand), and before they spend a thousand dollars or more they ask practical questions: can I sleep on a futon every night, how far apart should slats be, can you make one to fit a motorhome. They ask those questions in two places now, a search box and an AI chat. You do not rank at all for 75% of the demand we measured.

Search volume triangulated across Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush and Ahrefs, New Zealand, October 2026: the median of three, or the mean of two where one tool has no figure, with close variants counted once. Rank is your current Google New Zealand position on Ahrefs, 19 October 2026, for the term or a close variant Ahrefs tracks; "Not ranking" means outside Ahrefs' tracked positions. The first twelve rows are the biggest core terms in the model; the last five are big product heads you stock that sit outside it. The full triangulation is in The data tab. GKP + Ahrefs + SEMrush Ahrefs rank

Zoom out and the full New Zealand category for what you make runs to about 397,600 searches a month. The 136,945 a month we measured term by term is the heart of it, and 26,330 a month of that is core (the funnel from one to the other is in Appendix C). Alongside the search demand sit 131 questions New Zealanders ask about natural beds and bedding, and 41 of them are ones INNATURE can uniquely own: custom sizes for motorhomes, boats and antique cots, a wool-free mattress for vegans, latex that is firmer on one side, and a two-week handmade production time. The full prompt library, cluster maths and territory plan are in the appendix and The data tab.

4. The opportunity, in dollars

The table in the executive summary is built from four numbers, all non-branded. Here is the chain in full.

Roughly one search in five survives ads, shopping carousels and AI answers as a winnable organic click, a deliberately conservative rate because 62% of this core demand already shows an AI Overview. Today you take about one in 15 of those clicks. All three bars are drawn to the same scale. Modelled

Each non-branded click is worth about $5.14 in gross revenue. That is the figure every case in the table multiplies. The mid case is about 107 more orders a year than today, on products that take two weeks to make.

That is the whole model: win more of the 85,309 clicks.

The mid-case row of the executive-summary table arriving on non-branded gross revenue: roughly 10% of the new revenue live by month 3, 35% by month 6 (the point the system is handed to you), 70% by month 9, and all of it by month 12, so the month-12 point equals the table's mid row exactly. Hover any point for the maths. Modelled, directional

Two levers. Click-through on searches you already appear for: 41 core searches sit between positions 4 and 20, carrying 13,110 searches a month, led by "breastfeeding pillow" at position 11, and moving them onto the first screen is where the conservative case comes from. And stronger pages for the product searches where your pages do not rank yet, from bassinet mattresses to wooden bed frames. The high case assumes both land. The same pages win the AI answers, because the engines cite pages that rank and answer the question plainly.

Every figure here is New Zealand, non-branded and gross. Your branded organic traffic sits on top of the non-branded column in the executive summary table, unchanged.

5. The six-month transformation

A done-for-you AI and Search transformation over six months, moved through as your site is ready for each phase. Foundations fixes what the engines and your own reporting cannot see: tracking reconnected and Search Console set up, the dead pages redirected, headings, product codes, the "My Store" label and FAQ markup put right, and a measurement baseline before anything changes. Owning your territories builds the 13 researched territories, led by baby bedding, futons and pillows, with around 94 pieces to own the core. Authority and compounding turns your New Zealand making story, your stockists and the press that already features you into the citations AI engines trust. At six months the workflows, the platform and the system are yours to keep. A smaller first step, and how it works, is in The offer tab.

Appendix A: your channels and current position

INNATURE makes 67 products across organic latex mattresses, solid timber slat beds, futons and sofa beds, baby and children's mattresses and natural bedding, handmade in Auckland with a showroom in New Lynn. Here is what your own Analytics last recorded.

Google Analytics 4, default channel grouping. No sales were recorded in this window. Organic search is branded and non-branded together; without Search Console we cannot split it. Organic visits averaged about 4,000 a month. Ahrefs estimates about 1,200 Google visits a month today, but Ahrefs usually reads well below a store's own data, so how much traffic the move to Shopify cost can only be measured once Search Console is connected. GA4

Google Analytics 4, your old website, NZD. Purchases stopped recording after February 2022. Organic search, branded and non-branded together, was your biggest revenue channel. This is the window the model takes its conversion rate and order value from. GA4

Appendix B: the scorecard in detail

Four pillars, 25 points each, scored granularly from a live crawl of all 176 pages in your sitemap, Google PageSpeed Insights, your Analytics and Ahrefs authority data, gathered 18 and 19 October 2026. Measurement sits at the first level by default because tracking is not connected, and the content and authority scores include our read of how the work is planned today. AI-Ready Certified requires Professional on all four pillars and 80 or more in total.

Appendix C: the demand detail

The full New Zealand category for what you make, sized from Ahrefs' keyword universe across 16 product seeds, scaled to the triangulated basis and with the long tail, is about 397,600 searches a month. The measured core (26,330 a month of terms for products you make, with buying intent, where you can credibly rank) grows to about 35,546 a month with the long tail. Roughly one search in five survives as a winnable organic click, a pool of about 7,109 a month. The broad heads you stock but compete for with the big furniture chains are sized in the territory table and left out of the money model. AI questions are counted separately, so nothing is double-counted. Modelled

13 territories, 190 keywords and 131 questions, reconciling exactly to the 136,945-a-month basket and the 26,330-a-month core. The non-toxic, made-in-New-Zealand and custom territory carries almost no keyword volume, and most of its questions are ones only you can answer, which is why it ranks above its size. GKP + Ahrefs + SEMrush

We built a library of 131 questions New Zealanders ask about natural beds and bedding, drawn from AI and web answer sets, Ahrefs question searches, your own FAQ page, Consumer NZ, Plunket and Red Nose guidance and Reddit, plus questions built from the keyword research. Here is a sample, with roughly how often each comes up a month.

A sample of the 131-question library, all of it in The data tab with per-question volume band, priority and ownability. Volumes are directional bands anchored to the search terms beneath each question. 41 of the 131 are questions you can uniquely own. Which brands AI names on each of them is the first baseline the measurement work takes. Directional

Appendix D: where to play, your content territories

The same demand, grouped into the territories a plan executes against, in priority order. Priority weighs core demand, where you rank today, whether AI is live, and whether you can win it uniquely.

# is the priority order, 1 meaning lead with it now. Content requirement: about 94 pieces to own the core territories and 146 for full category coverage, against the 29 articles you have today. The full cluster maths is in The data tab. Cluster model

Appendix E: who you are up against, and the authority play

Ahrefs Site Explorer and Domain Rating, New Zealand, 18 October 2026, estimated organic traffic including each store's branded searches. One source across the whole table, so the comparison is like-for-like. Every store sells natural mattresses, futons or natural bedding online in New Zealand; marketplaces, department stores and the big furniture chains were left out. Ahrefs estimates are built for comparing stores and run well below a store's own data. Ahrefs Site Explorer

Appendix F: where the numbers come from

• Your Google Analytics 4, property "innature.co.nz - GA4": the full history, the last tracked year of visits (August 2023 to July 2024) and the last months with sales recorded (September 2021 to January 2022).
• Keyword volumes, triangulated across Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush and Ahrefs for New Zealand, October 2026, the median of three (or the mean of two where one tool has no figure), with plural and word-order variants counted once.
• Your rankings, Ahrefs Site Explorer, New Zealand, 19 October 2026: 184 ranking keywords, 159 of them non-branded.
• Authority and competitor data, Ahrefs, 18 October 2026, cross-checked with DataForSEO.
• Technical findings, a direct crawl of every page in your sitemap on 18 October 2026, the old-page check against the landing pages your Analytics recorded, plus Google PageSpeed Insights (real-user field data first, lab noted as lab).

Without Search Console, today's clicks are modelled. For each core search, we take the share of its organic clicks that your current Ahrefs position normally earns, from a published click-through curve (first place takes about 35% of the organic clicks on a search, tenth about 2%), and apply it to that search's winnable clicks. Summed across the core, that is about 5,850 non-branded clicks a year, 6.9% of the pool. It sits well under Ahrefs' estimate of all your Google traffic, branded included, which is the cross-check. Search Console will replace it with your real clicks.

Two inputs turn clicks into money, both from the last months your Analytics recorded sales, September 2021 to January 2022, on your old website: organic search visits converted at 1.13%, at $455 an order, so a click is worth about $5.14. The smell tests pass: the conversion rate is in the normal range for considered furniture purchases, and a click's value sits within reach of what a paid search visit earned you in the same months ($3.94). Prices and the site have changed since, which is why the dollars are directional, and why reconnecting your sales tracking is the first measurement job.

Gross revenue in the scenario table is the pool times the share times the conversion rate times the order value, nothing else, multiplied on the unrounded inputs shown here. The mid case is 174 non-branded orders a year against 66 today. The full derivation, written for you or your own AI assistant to check, is in the model workings file.
