What the work covers

Found on Google, on the map, and in AI answers.

Rankings you can measure
Target keywords chosen for what your buyers actually type, tracked and reported every month.
Local search
Google Business Profile work and local citations, so you compete for the map results as well as the page.
Ready for AI search
Schema and answer-ready content on the Growth and Authority plans, so engines like Google and ChatGPT can understand and quote you.
How it works

From free audit to monthly results.

The first month is mostly groundwork, so the first report covers what was done and what it should produce, not positions won.

Monthly reporting
Straight answers

What is not included, and what we will not promise.

No position guarantees
Nobody controls Google. What we commit to is the work and the reporting. Anyone promising a specific position is either targeting terms nobody searches or hoping you never check.
Links earned, not bought
Bought links are the fastest route to a penalty. Ours come from outreach and from being worth referencing.
Advertising is separate
SEO covers organic search only. Google Ads and Meta Ads have their own budget and management fee, and we keep the two clearly apart.
Where we work

SEO in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Boksburg.

Based in Gauteng and working with businesses across South Africa, with local search work that fits the areas you actually serve.

Questions we get asked

Questions about SEO.

What does SEO cost per month in South Africa?

Our plans start at R3 500 a month. The price moves up with how many keywords you are competing for, how many pages are written each month and how much link building is involved. Those follow how competitive your market is, not how large your company is.

What counts as a target keyword?

A search term we actively work to rank you for, tracked and reported monthly. Close variations count as one. Ten well-chosen keywords covers a single-location business properly. What matters most is whether they are the ones your buyers actually type.

How long should I commit for?

Plans are month to month, but SEO takes months to build, so stopping at month two wastes what you have spent. If you cannot see yourself running it for at least six months, Google Ads is a better use of the same money, and we will tell you so.

What happens in the first month?

Mostly groundwork: keyword research confirmed, technical fixes applied, your Google Business Profile sorted and tracking set up. Visible ranking movement usually starts later, so the first report covers what was done and what it should produce.

What are the quality links?

Mentions on real, relevant South African sites: industry directories, suppliers, associations and local press. We earn them through outreach and having something worth linking to. We do not buy links or use private networks.

Do I need SEO if I already run Google Ads?

They do different jobs. Ads stop the day you stop paying, while SEO keeps working. Running both is common, with ads carrying you while SEO builds. If your budget covers only one and you need enquiries this month, run the ads first.

Can I move between plans?

Yes, in either direction. Many businesses start on Starter and move up once the foundations are done. Moving down is fine too. If you are not using what you pay for, we would rather tell you than keep billing it.
