Based in Cape Town. Meetings in Stellenbosch by appointment.
A tasting room wants weekend bookings, and a software firm wants demo requests. Your pages go after whichever one pays you.
Two kinds of search
Visitors. People plan a day in the Winelands from Cape Town, from Gauteng and from overseas, often on their phone the same morning. They search for an experience, not your name: wine tasting, lunch on a farm, a wedding venue, somewhere to stay. They need to find your opening hours, your prices and a booking button in a few seconds. We build a page for each experience you offer and keep your Google profile, with its hours, photos and booking link, accurate every week.
Businesses. A software company at Technopark sells to buyers who search for their problem long before they know your name. Those buyers want plain answers: what it does, what it costs, how it compares. We write pages that answer those questions and lead to a demo request, not to a page of features.
Searches
| What they type | What we'd do |

| wedding venues Stellenbosch | A weddings page with capacity, real photos and an enquiry form |
| guesthouse Stellenbosch | Room pages and a map listing that shows availability and reviews |
| builder Stellenbosch | A Stellenbosch page for the trade, with jobs done in the area |

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. Most of it is a page for each experience, accurate hours and booking links on your Google profile, and reviews that mention what people did.
Yes. The work is different: fewer local pages, more pages answering buyers' questions and comparing options.
Yes, 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.
No, and be careful of anyone who does. We promise the work and show it to you every month.
