Local

Two kinds of customer on one road

We work with Nelspruit businesses.

Kruger visitors plan from Gauteng and overseas weeks before they arrive, searching for lodges, transfers and things to do near the park. Lowveld farmers buy the same week from whoever shows up when they search. Both matter, and they need different pages.

The lodge pages sell the stay before the drive: rooms, rates, distance to the gates, what guests did. The local pages win the weekly searches from Mbombela, White River and Hazyview.

People still type Nelspruit and Mbombela for the same town, so pages and listings keep both names.

What's included

What's included in every plan

Every plan covers the five things that decide whether Google shows your business to people nearby.

  • Technical fixes.Speed, mobile, broken pages and anything stopping Google from reading your site, sorted in the first month.
  • Service and area pages.A page for each main service and each area you cover, written in the words people actually type.
  • Google Business Profile.Categories, services, photos and weekly posts, so you show on the map for "near me" searches.
  • Listings and links.Your name, address and number made the same on the South African directories Google trusts, plus links from relevant local sites.
  • AI search.Clear, consistent details so ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI answers can name you.

Having a new website built? SEO goes in from the start, not added afterwards.

The first six months

What the first six months look like

WhenThe workWhat you'll notice
Month 1Audit, technical fixes, listings, Google profile tidy upA faster site and correct details everywhere
Months 2 and 3Main service pages rewritten, first new area pages liveYour site showing for more searches, lower down at first
Months 4 to 6More pages, links and content, steady improvementsMovement onto page one for some searches, more calls from Google

The steps show work piling up, not a promised ranking. Every month's report lists exactly what was done, so you never pay for work you can't see.

How to choose

How to choose an SEO company

Comparing SEO companies? Ask any company you speak to, us included, these six questions.

  1. Who will actually do the work, and can I speak to them?
  2. Will I get a written list of what was done every month?
  3. Do I own the website, the pages and the Google profile if we stop?
  4. Do you promise first position? The right answer is no.
  5. Is it month to month, or am I locked in?
  6. What would you fix first on my site, and why?

Our answers: Trudwell, yes, yes, no, month to month, and the free SEO check shows you the last one.

By industry

SEO and Google Ads

SEO and Google Ads together

SEO takes months to build and keeps paying back. Google Ads brings calls from the first week. Most clients start with Ads for their busiest services while the SEO pages settle in, then spend less on Ads as the pages start to rank.

Questions

SEO in Nelspruit: questions

Should we say Nelspruit or Mbombela?

Both, where each is used. People still search Nelspruit more often, but official maps and many searches use Mbombela, so pages and listings keep both.

Our lodge is outside town near the park. Do local pages help?

More than town pages would. Visitors search for places near Kruger and near the gates, so pages are written around the park searches, not the city.

Do we need an office in Nelspruit to rank there?

No. Your Google profile can hide your address and show the areas you serve, and your pages carry the local wording.

Can we meet?

Yes, in person in Cape Town by appointment.

How much does SEO cost?

Local plans are R4,500 to R8,500 a month, ecommerce stores from R12,840. Month to month either way, and the price depends on how many areas and services you want to rank for.

How long until I rank?

Three to six months for most local businesses, longer where competitors have been at it for years. You'll see the work much sooner: pages fixed, new pages live, listings corrected.

Can you guarantee first position?

No, and be careful of anyone who does. We promise the work and show it to you every month.

What happens if I stop?

You keep everything: the pages, the profile and the listings. It's month to month with 30 days' notice.
