Based in Cape Town, doing SEO for businesses across South Africa
"How long until I'm on the first page?" is the first thing most people ask us. The honest answer is three to six months for most local trades, longer if your competitors have been at it for years. What you can see much sooner is the work: pages fixed, new pages live and your business listed correctly everywhere that matters.
What SEO means
When someone in Durbanville searches "aircon service Durbanville", Google picks a handful of businesses for the map and ten for the page below. SEO is the work that makes your business one of them.
FixedSpeed, mobile, broken pages and indexing sorted first.
WrittenPages for every service and suburb, in the words people search.
ListedYour details correct on the directories Google trusts.
FoundMovement onto page one, and calls you didn't pay a click for.
Plans
One town or area and up to five main services
Several areas, competitive trades, or owning your category
Online stores on Shopify or WooCommerce
Month to month. Plans include some AI search work; Local Advanced includes all of it.
Once-off work
The first six months
The steps show work piling up, not a promised ranking. Every month's report lists exactly what was done, so you're never paying for work you can't see.
Modern SEO
Google now shows AI summaries above the normal results for many searches, and more people ask ChatGPT or Gemini to recommend a business. Ranking still matters, but so does Google clearly understanding who your business is.
Google says no special code is needed for AI Overviews; it's good SEO done thoroughly. We don't publish exactly how we do it. More on AI search

Questions
No. Nobody controls Google's results, and anyone promising a position is guessing or about to disappoint you. We promise the work and show it to you every month.
Ads bring calls in weeks and stop when you stop paying. SEO takes months and keeps working. We usually suggest running ads while SEO builds up, then lowering ad spend on searches you start to rank for.
No. We write the pages. We'll ask you for details only you know, like prices, brands you install or how quickly you can get to a call-out.
Only what's needed for SEO. If your site is too old or slow to fix sensibly, we'll tell you and quote a rebuild separately.
The pages and listings stay yours. Rankings may slip over time if competitors keep working and you don't, but nothing is switched off.
Yes. We're based in Cape Town and do SEO for businesses across South Africa, set to the towns and suburbs each one serves.
