SEO Services FAQ
For most South African businesses, you can expect to see meaningful improvements in keyword rankings within 3–4 months, and significant traffic and lead increases within 6–9 months. Highly competitive keywords in Cape Town and Johannesburg may take 9–12 months to achieve first-page rankings. We provide monthly progress reports so you can track every step of the journey.
SEO generates organic (free) traffic over time and builds long-term authority. Google Ads generates immediate paid traffic but stops the moment you stop paying. The best strategy for most SA businesses is to run Google Ads while building SEO — so that organic traffic replaces paid traffic over time, reducing your cost per lead.
