What our local SEO includes
Google Business Profile optimisation
Categories, services, hours, photos, products, posts and Q&A set up completely and kept up to date.
Local citations
Consistent name, address and phone details on directories, maps and industry sites, with duplicates cleaned up.
Reviews
A simple, compliant process to ask customers for honest reviews and reply to every one, good or bad.
Location and service-area pages
Useful, unique pages for each location or area you serve, not copies with the city name swapped.
Local on-page and schema
LocalBusiness schema, local keywords, maps and contact details that confirm where you operate.
Multi-location management
Profiles, pages and reporting for franchises and businesses with many branches.
What to expect when you hire
Relevance, distance and prominence
Google ranks local results on how well a business matches the search, how close it is and how well known it is. We cannot change your distance, so we focus on relevance through categories, services and content, and prominence through reviews, citations and links.
Your Google Business Profile does most of the work
For many local searches, people call or ask for directions straight from your profile without visiting your site. A complete, active profile with the right primary category, real photos, regular posts and answered questions is the single biggest local SEO lever.
Reviews done properly
Reviews influence both rankings and whether people choose you. We help you ask every happy customer at the right moment and reply to all reviews. We never write fake reviews, offer incentives for them or filter who gets asked, which breaks Google's policies.
Location pages that are worth ranking
Thin pages that only swap the city name rarely rank and can hurt the site. We create location pages with genuinely local details such as the team, services offered there, directions, local reviews and frequently asked questions.
Remote, but close to Johannesburg
Time-zone overlap
South Africa is three and a half hours behind India, so our working days overlap for most of your morning and early afternoon.
