Frequently asked questions.
We’ve answered some of the most common questions we get from clients. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to reach out. We’re always happy to talk things through.
What is SEO and how does it work?
SEO, or Search Engine Optimisation, helps your website appear higher in Google search results. It involves improving technical setup, content quality, and backlinks so search engines understand and trust your site.
Why should I invest in SEO?
SEO builds long-term visibility and credibility. Unlike paid ads, organic rankings keep generating traffic even after your campaign ends — making it one of the best long-term investments for your business.
How long does it take to see results from SEO?
It depends on your industry and competition. Most businesses start seeing movement within two to three months, with stronger growth between six and twelve months.
Do I need SEO if I already run Google Ads?
Yes. Google Ads can bring quick results, but SEO builds lasting visibility. The two work best together — paid ads for instant reach, SEO for sustainable growth.
Is SEO still effective in 2025?
Absolutely. As search algorithms evolve, SEO remains essential for visibility and credibility. The difference is that it now focuses more on user experience, site performance, and high-quality content.
What SEO services do you offer?
We provide full-service SEO including on-page optimisation, technical audits, link building, content strategy, and local SEO. Each campaign is tailored to your business goals.
How do you start a new SEO project?
We begin with a full site audit, keyword research, and competitor analysis. From there, we create a strategy that outlines technical fixes, content priorities, and link opportunities.
What tools do you use for SEO?
We use RankMath Pro, Google Search Console, GA4, and TrueRanker for tracking. For audits and competitor research, we also use tools like Ahrefs and Screaming Frog.
Do you work with all website platforms?
Yes. While we specialise in WordPress and RankMath, we also optimise Shopify, Webflow, and custom CMS platforms.
What makes your SEO process different?
We balance creative content with technical precision. Our web development background means we can actually fix what most agencies only report from Core Web Vitals to structured data.
How do you choose keywords?
We research terms your audience actually searches for using data from Google and keyword tools. Then we prioritise by search intent, volume, and competitiveness.
Will you share what keywords my site is ranking for?
Yes. You’ll get monthly reports showing keyword rankings, traffic changes, and new opportunities — plus a live TrueRanker dashboard you can check anytime.
How do you track success in SEO?
We measure rankings, organic traffic, click-through rates, and leads. You’ll also see technical improvements like faster load times and higher site health scores.
What if I don’t know which keywords to target?
That’s part of our job. We’ll identify relevant keywords for your industry and build a content strategy that naturally targets them.
Can you guarantee page-one rankings?
No ethical agency can guarantee rankings, because Google’s algorithms constantly evolve. What we guarantee is a data-driven process that consistently improves your visibility and authority.
What is local SEO?
Local SEO focuses on helping your business appear in area-based searches such as “SEO agency Cape Town” or “plumber near me.” It’s ideal for service businesses with a physical location or defined service area.
How do you optimise for local SEO?
We optimise your Google Business Profile, create local landing pages, and build consistent citations across directories. We also include reviews and local schema to improve map rankings.
Can you help me rank in multiple locations?
Yes. We can create regional landing pages and optimise content for multiple cities or provinces across South Africa.
How important are online reviews for SEO?
Very important. Positive Google reviews increase trust and can improve your ranking in local search results. We can help you implement a review strategy that works.
Do I need a physical office to do local SEO?
No. Even if you operate remotely, we can set up service-area-based optimisation to reach customers in your target regions.
What is technical SEO?
Technical SEO improves the behind-the-scenes structure of your website so search engines can crawl and index it properly. It includes speed optimisation, mobile responsiveness, and structured data setup.
Do you handle Core Web Vitals improvements?
Yes. We optimise load times, layout stability, and interactivity scores through WP Rocket, image compression, and custom code adjustments.
Can you fix indexing or sitemap issues?
Yes. We handle site audits and fix problems with indexing, canonical tags, broken links, and duplicate content.
How do you use schema markup?
We implement schema for services, FAQs, and local business data to help your site appear with rich snippets in Google results.
Do I need ongoing technical SEO maintenance?
Yes. SEO is never one-and-done. As your website evolves, it’s important to keep code, plugins, and technical setups aligned with Google’s best practices.
How much does SEO cost in South Africa?
Our SEO packages start at ZAR 6,000 per month for small sites and scale up based on competition and scope. Every plan includes technical optimisation, content support, and performance reporting.
What’s included in your SEO packages?
Each plan includes technical SEO, on-page optimisation, monthly keyword tracking, backlink building, and detailed reports.
How do retainers work?
Retainers are billed monthly with set deliverables and reporting. You can scale hours or add services like content marketing or link outreach as needed.
What happens if I stop doing SEO?
Rankings may hold for a while but usually decline over time as competitors keep optimising. SEO works best with consistent effort.
