The service

The brands ranking #1 in SA didn't
get there with one project. They
got there monthly, for years.

Look at any business dominating organic search in South Africa — Property24, Hippo, Discovery, the big estate agents, the law firms with 30 location pages — they all got there the same way: consistent monthly SEO work, every month, for years.

A retainer is what makes that possible for an SME budget. Instead of trying to do it yourself between actual work, you have a team adding pages, fixing technical debt, building links and tracking what’s moving — every single month.

It’s not flashy. It just works. And after 12 months, your competitors who didn’t do it can’t catch up.

Frequently asked

Questions South African business owners actually ask.

Still unsure? WhatsApp us at +27 82 490 8000 and we'll answer in plain English.

What's included in a monthly SEO retainer?
+

Monthly keyword research, on-page optimisation of existing pages, 2–6 new SEO content pieces depending on plan, technical SEO monitoring, internal linking, citation/link building, monthly performance reporting and a strategy call. Bigger plans include more content and more aggressive link building.

How is this different from a once-off SEO project?
+

Once-off projects fix what's there now. Retainers compound — every month adds new pages, links and rankings on top of last month. SEO results lag 3–6 months but compound for years; a retainer is what makes that compounding actually happen.

How long until I see results?
+

Most SA clients see early ranking movements within 6–10 weeks and meaningful traffic growth by month 4–6. By month 9–12, retainer clients typically see 2–4x the organic traffic they started with. Local SEO retainers move faster (4–8 weeks for visible map pack changes).

What's the minimum retainer term?
+

We ask for a 6-month initial commitment because SEO simply doesn't show ROI in shorter windows. After that it's month-to-month, cancel anytime with 30 days notice. We're not in the business of holding clients hostage.

Will you write the content yourself or do I need to?
+

Our team writes everything — research, drafting, on-page optimisation, schema, internal links, the lot. You get 24-hour review windows on each piece before publishing. If you want to write some yourself, we'll edit and optimise.

Do I get reporting I can actually understand?
+

Yes — plain-English monthly reports showing keyword movements, traffic, conversions and exactly what we did that month. No fluffy 40-page PDFs. Plus a 30-min strategy call every month.

Let's build the website your business deserves.
