The service
We’ve audited dozens of South African SEO retainers from previous agencies. The pattern is depressingly consistent: a colourful PDF report, vague mentions of ‘optimisations’, and not a single new lead the client can point to.
Our SEO is built around one question: did this month’s work bring you more revenue? We track keywords, traffic and conversions in plain English. We focus on the keywords your customers in Joburg, Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria are actually typing — not the ones that make a report look impressive.
And we only do white-hat SEO. No PBNs, no spammy backlinks, no Fiverr packages. Everything we ship would survive a Google manual review tomorrow.

For local SEO (Google Maps, suburb-level keywords) you can see real movement in 4–8 weeks. For competitive national keywords (e.g. 'web design South Africa', 'attorneys Sandton') expect 3–6 months for first-page rankings, and 6–12 months for sustained top-3 positions. SEO is a compounding asset — the work you pay for in month 1 keeps paying you in month 24.
Quality SEO in SA typically runs from R3,500/month for local SEO up to R15,000+/month for competitive national campaigns. Anyone offering 'guaranteed #1 rankings for R900/month' is selling you spam links that will eventually penalise your site. Our SEO retainers start at R3,500/month with no long-term lock-in.
No — and you should be very suspicious of any agency that does. Google's algorithm has 200+ ranking factors and changes constantly. What we do guarantee: monthly transparent reports, ethical white-hat SEO that won't get you penalised, and measurable improvement in traffic, rankings and leads over 3–6 months.
Local SEO targets suburb or city-level searches like 'plumber Randburg' or 'restaurant Sandton' and focuses heavily on Google Business Profile, local citations and reviews. National SEO targets country-wide keywords like 'WordPress developer South Africa' and focuses on content, backlinks and topical authority. Most SA SMEs need both.
Yes — local SEO and Google Business Profile optimisation go hand in hand. We'll fully optimise your GBP listing, build local citations across SA directories (Brabys, Snupit, etc.), encourage and respond to reviews, and use local schema markup to push you up in the Map Pack.
Not always. If your current site loads fast (under 3s on mobile), is mobile-friendly and built on a CMS we can edit, we can usually start SEO right away. If it's a slow Wix/Squarespace site or built in 2015, a rebuild often delivers more in month 1 than 6 months of trying to optimise a broken foundation.
