Based in Cape Town, doing SEO for businesses across South Africa
Your customers ask Google and AI search who to call. Your business should be the name that comes up.
How we work
SEO is done online, so where we sit matters less than how well we know your area. We research the towns and suburbs you serve, check what your competitors there rank for and write pages for the places you want work from.
You get a WhatsApp line to the person doing the work, a written report by the 5th of every month and a video call whenever you want one. We work the same hours you do.
Cities
Your town not listed? We work anywhere in South Africa, and smaller towns often have less competition on Google.
Local first
Ranking across the whole country for a broad search is slow and expensive. For most businesses the faster route is to own the searches in the towns where you actually work, one area at a time, and widen from there.
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
No. The work is done online. What matters is knowing your area and your customers, and that's what the first month is for.
For specific services, often yes. For broad searches it takes longer and costs more, so we usually start with the towns you serve.
Usually Local Advanced, which covers several areas and four new pages a month.
On video any time, and in person in Cape Town by appointment.
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.
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.
