Why Somar Digital?
Somar has been creating people-first digital experiences from our home base in Wellington for over 18 years. Our team brings together web design and development, user experience, hosting, digital marketing, and now AI services to help organisations deliver modern, accessible experiences that genuinely work for their communities.
Corporates, not-for-profits, and government agencies choose to partner with us because we listen, follow through, and care about the details. We’re trusted by iconic organisations such as Cancer Society NZ and Citizens Advice Bureau to deliver user-friendly, reliable solutions on time and on budget, while helping them adopt AI in a way that’s responsible, practical, and keeps them ahead of the curve.
Case Study: Citizens Advice Bureau – Volunteer AI Helper
When Citizens Advice Bureau NZ's volunteers field client questions, they need accurate answers fast. We built an AI Helper into the Citizens Advice Bureau’s intranet (Cabnet) to support volunteers to more efficiently and consistently answer client enquiries.
The AI Helper allows volunteers to type questions into Cabnet and quickly receive answers generated from CAB's extensive database of rights information.
Key features of the AI Helper include:
- Fast, accurate responses powered by Google’s Gemini Flash
- Easy content management so CAB maintains control over information and responses
- Performance monitoring with admin tools to track accuracy and fine-tune the system over time.
Case Study: AI SEO
We have helped client-partners like Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) and Mountain Safety Council (MSC) to develop AI SEO strategies that help and optimise their website content for both traditional and AI search. This includes updating page structure with clear Key Takeaways and FAQs, implementing Schema markup and an LLMs.txt file to make content more discoverable to AI tools, and strengthening fundamentals such as headings, internal linking, and meta descriptions.
Helping Our Clients Evolve with AI Search
We also focus on keeping brand information consistent across all online channels, from address and phone number to business hours. This helps AI agents recognise trustworthy, authoritative sources by matching data points across platforms, improving the likelihood that our clients’ content is mentioned in AI-generated answers. Our goal is to make sure our clients, like GWRC and MSC, remain ahead of the curve as search continues to evolve.
