FAQs
Durban SEO - Frequently Asked Questions
How long does SEO take to work for a Durban business?+
Most businesses see initial ranking movement within 8-12 weeks, with stronger results building over 4-6 months as technical fixes, content and links compound.
Do you focus on Durban specifically or all of KwaZulu-Natal?+
Our primary focus is Durban and the greater eThekwini area, though we can extend targeting to broader KZN on request.
What makes your SEO different from other Durban agencies?+
We combine technical SEO, local SEO and content strategy under one transparent, reported process - built specifically around lead generation, not just traffic or rankings.
Do I need a new website, or can you work with my existing site?+
In most cases we work with your existing WordPress or other CMS site, fixing technical and content issues rather than requiring a full rebuild.
Can you also manage Google Ads alongside SEO?+
Yes, we offer combined SEO + Google Ads packages for businesses wanting both immediate and long-term visibility.
Is there a minimum contract period?+
No lock-in contracts. We recommend a minimum 6-month commitment to see meaningful SEO results, but there's no penalty for cancelling.
