Local SEO helps your business appear when people nearby search for what you sell, in Google’s map results and in the normal results below them. We optimise your Google Business Profile, your website’s location and service pages, and your business listings so Google trusts where you are and what you do. Our Local SEO plan is R2,950 a month with Google Business Profile posts, review replies, page optimisation and new listings every month. Businesses competing across a whole city usually need Business SEO at R4,950.

Google says local results are based mainly on three things: relevance (how well your profile matches the search), distance (how far you are from the searcher or the place they mention) and prominence (how well known your business is, including reviews and links). You cannot change distance, so local SEO works on relevance and prominence. Our guide to local SEO in South Africa explains each one, and the Google Business Profile guide shows how to set up your profile yourself.

Nobody can guarantee a spot in the map pack, and Google’s local results change often. Businesses with a complete profile, a clear website and steady genuine reviews tend to do best over time. We focus on those, and we never buy fake reviews or create fake addresses, which break Google’s rules and can get a profile suspended.

Local SEO is the work that helps your business appear in Google’s map results and local searches, such as “electrician near me”. It covers your Google Business Profile, your website’s service and area pages, and consistent business listings.
It is usually a monthly service. Our Local SEO plan is R2,950 a month, including Google Business Profile management. A once-off profile setup is also available.
Profile fixes can show results within weeks, but ranking in a competitive area usually takes a few months of steady work.
