Honest Timelines, Real Results

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you guarantee #1 rankings?

No honest SEO agency can guarantee a specific spot on Google, and anyone who does is lying or selling you a generic rank-tracker trick. What we guarantee is industry best practice: technical fixes, local optimisation, content strategy, and link building that consistently lead to improved visibility over six to twelve months.

What keywords will you target?

We target high-intent keywords, the ones people use when they are ready to buy. For a plumber in Hartbeespoort, that means emergency plumber Hartbeespoort rather than plumbing tips. We do competitor gap analysis and Search Console mining to find the specific phrases driving buying-ready traffic in your market.

Can you help with my Google Business Profile?

Yes. Google Business Profile optimisation is one of the highest-ROI activities for local South African businesses. It puts you in the local Map Pack, which receives the majority of clicks for location-based searches. We handle categories, photos, hours, Q&A, review responses, and weekly Google Posts as part of our SEO retainer.

How do I know it's working?

You receive a monthly report showing your ranking improvements, organic traffic growth, keyword movements, and most importantly, the number of leads generated through organic search. We track all this in a shared dashboard you can check any time.

How much does local SEO cost in South Africa?

Our SEO retainers start at R3,500 per month with no lock-in contracts. This includes technical fixes, Google Business Profile management, content creation, local citations, backlink acquisition, and monthly reporting. Larger and more competitive campaigns are quoted custom.

How long until I see results?

Technical fixes and Google Business Profile improvements can show results in the first thirty days. Organic search ranking improvements typically show meaningful movement within sixty to ninety days. Sustained first-page rankings for competitive keywords usually take six to twelve months.

Is there a lock-in contract?

No. Our SEO retainers are month-to-month. Cancel any time with thirty days notice. You own all content we produce, and you keep access to your Google Business Profile, analytics, and all tools after you leave. We compete on results, not contract terms.
