Local

Mine country with a holiday park next door

We work with Rustenburg businesses.

Visitors heading to the Pilanesberg and Sun City search for places to stay and eat on the way, often before they leave Gauteng. Catch that search and you catch the weekend trade.

Then there is the town itself: mining suppliers selling to contractors, and trades working the suburbs from Tlhabane to Waterfall East. Two very different sets of searches, needing very different pages.

We write for the CBD, Waterfall East, Tlhabane, Sun City and Hartbeespoort, depending on which side of the market you sell to.

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.

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 Rustenburg: questions

We are near Sun City, not in Rustenburg town. Which searches matter?

The park and resort searches matter more. Visitors rarely type Rustenburg, they type Sun City and Pilanesberg, so pages go where the searches are.

Can you target both mines and tourists?

Yes, with different pages. Supplier pages for the contractor searches, stay pages for the weekend searches. Never one page for both.

Do we need an office in Rustenburg 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.
