Once-off SEO is a haircut. Retainers are the gym. We do the monthly content, on-page, technical and link work that turns your website into a compounding lead source — for the next 5 years, not the next 5 weeks.

The service
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.

Who this is for
Businesses that want a long-term lead engine, not a quick traffic spike.
Lawyers, accountants, consultants, agencies competing on local + service keywords.
Online stores wanting product, category and content traffic that compounds.
Practices investing in long-term local visibility and patient acquisition.
Tired of paying for reports with no rankings to show. We do work, not theatre.
Founders who get that organic compounds and don’t want to keep paying for ads forever.
How we work
We’ve stripped out the agency theatre. You’ll always know what’s happening, what’s next, and what we need from you.
Month 1 is foundation: technical fixes, keyword strategy, content roadmap, GBP setup.
2–6 new SEO pages per month researched, written and published with on-page SEO./p>
We re-optimise 3–5 existing pages each month based on Search Console data.
Outreach for niche backlinks, citations and digital PR opportunities.
Monthly report covering keywords, traffic, conversions and competitor movements.
30-min review every month — what's working, what's next, any business changes to align with.

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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
