- Based in Randburg, JHB · Serving South Africa & Beyond
When someone in Sandton, Sea Point or Umhlanga searches for what you sell, your business should be one of the three on the map. We make that happen — through Google Business Profile, reviews, local citations and location-specific pages.

The service
For most South African service businesses, ‘page 1 of Google’ isn’t enough — if you’re not in the local 3-pack on the map, you’re losing 70% of clicks to your competitors.
Local SEO is a different discipline to national SEO. It’s less about backlinks and more about Google Business Profile signals, review velocity, citation consistency and proximity. We focus on exactly the things Google’s local algorithm cares about.
And we do it suburb by suburb — Sandton is a different ranking battle to Soweto, even for the same business.

Local SEO is what gets your business into Google's 'map pack' — the 3 businesses with stars and a map that show when someone searches '[service] near me' or '[service] [suburb]'. For most SA service businesses (plumbers, dentists, restaurants, salons), the map pack is where 60–80% of clicks happen.
Yes — it's the single most important free asset a local SA business owns. We claim, optimise, fully fill out and consistently post on your GBP as part of every local SEO engagement. Most businesses we audit have it half-completed and missing core info.
Map pack rankings often improve within 4–8 weeks of focused work — much faster than national SEO. Reviews, citations and category fixes can move you from page 2 to top 3 in a single suburb within a couple of months.
Yes — but only properly if you have either a physical location or a service-area listing in each one. We build separate location pages on your site and structure your GBP service areas correctly so you can show up in multiple Joburg suburbs (or Cape Town/Durban/Pretoria too).
We set up an automated review request flow via WhatsApp, SMS and email after each job. We also help you respond to every review (positive and negative) which Google rewards. Most clients double their review count within 90 days.
It happens — fake 1-star reviews, listing edits, even reported closures. We monitor your GBP weekly, flag suspicious activity to Google, and have your back if something happens. Included in all local SEO retainers.
