/ What I do
Small business SEO, done properly.
Most small businesses do not need an expensive monthly retainer. They need the basics done right, then steady work on the searches that bring in customers.
Local SEO
Your Google Business Profile completed and active, your details the same everywhere, and pages for the suburbs you serve.
Content that answers buyers
Service pages and guides written around what South Africans actually search for.
Google reviews
An easy way to ask happy customers for reviews, and replies that show prospects you care.
Listings and links
South African directory listings and partner links that build trust, without spammy shortcuts.
Plain-language reports
What changed, what it did to your traffic and enquiries, and what comes next.
/ Local SEO

/ Common questions
SEO questions.
How much does SEO cost in South Africa?
Technical SEO is included in every website I build, from R2,500. Ongoing SEO, such as new pages, listings and monthly improvements, is quoted to what your business needs, and my care plan includes monthly SEO checks for R1,000 a month.
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical fixes are usually picked up within weeks. Ranking for competitive searches like “plumber Pretoria” often takes three to six months or more. Less competitive local searches move sooner, and I will tell you what is realistic before you spend.
Can you get my business into the Google Maps results?
I can set up and optimise everything that influences them: your Google Business Profile, reviews, consistent listings and local pages. Nobody can guarantee a map position, because distance from the searcher also plays a big part.
Do you only do SEO in Pretoria?
No. I am based in Erasmuskloof, Pretoria, and work with businesses across Gauteng, including Centurion, Midrand, Johannesburg and Sandton, and the rest of South Africa.
Can you do SEO for a website you did not build?
Yes, if the site is on a sound footing. Send me the link and I will review it first. If the site itself is what is holding you back, I will tell you and quote a rebuild instead.
Can you guarantee first place on Google?
No, and be careful of anyone who does. Nobody controls Google’s results. I promise the work: a technically sound site, a properly set up Google profile and content aimed at the searches that bring in customers.
