Based in Cape Town, a short drive away. Meetings in Somerset West by appointment.
Someone in Strand types "plumber near me" and Google maps a handful of businesses. Your listing needs to be one of them, and your website needs a page that backs it up.
Near me
The Helderberg is a string of small places: Somerset West, Strand, Gordon's Bay, Firgrove and Sir Lowry's Pass. When someone searches "near me", Google uses where they're standing. A business in Somerset West can be invisible to someone in Gordon's Bay unless its profile and pages say clearly that it works there.
So the work here is mostly three things: a Google Business Profile set to every area you serve, a page for each of those areas, and a steady flow of reviews that mention the job and the place.
If you work from home and have no shop, you can still show on the map. Google lets service businesses hide their address and show the areas they cover instead, and we set it up that way.
Searches
| What they type | What we'd do |
|---|---|
| plumber near me | Map listing and reviews do most of the work; we make both strong |
| electrician Strand | A Strand page, with jobs done there |
| solar installer Somerset West | A page that explains the process and the price range people want first |
| pool repairs Gordon's Bay | A Gordon's Bay page with photos of real jobs |
| aircon installation Helderberg | One Helderberg page that covers the smaller places together |
Who it suits
Trades and home services that work across the Helderberg: plumbers, electricians, solar and backup power installers, pool and garden services, builders and handymen. If most of your work comes from within 15 minutes of home, this is where SEO pays back fastest.
What's included
Every plan covers the five things that decide whether Google shows your business to people nearby.
Having a new website built? SEO goes in from the start, not added afterwards.
The first six months
| When | The work | What you'll notice |
|---|---|---|
| Month 1 | Audit, technical fixes, listings, Google profile tidy up | A faster site and correct details everywhere |
| Months 2 and 3 | Main service pages rewritten, first new area pages live | Your site showing for more searches, lower down at first |
| Months 4 to 6 | More pages, links and content, steady improvements | Movement 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.

Questions
Yes, by appointment. After the first meeting, most of it happens on WhatsApp and a monthly call.
If you want work there, usually yes. One good page per place beats one page trying to cover all of them.
Yes. Your profile can hide your address and show the areas you serve instead.
Mostly it's your Google Business Profile, your reviews and your area pages working together. Your plan covers all three.
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.
