Frequently asked
SEO Services in Durban — answers.
Common questions about pricing, timelines, what's included, and how we work with Durban businesses.
How long until I see SEO results in Durban?
For local SEO in Durban, most clients see ranking improvements within 60 days and first-page placements within 90-120 days. National keywords take 6-12 months. We send weekly progress updates so you see momentum, not silence.
What does SEO cost in Durban?
Local SEO retainers in Durban start at R2,800/month for a focused local push (10-15 keywords). National multi-city SEO starts at R5,500/month. All retainers are month-to-month with no contracts.
Do you guarantee number-one rankings?
No reputable SEO agency guarantees specific rankings — Google's algorithm changes daily. We do guarantee transparent reporting, ethical white-hat tactics, and steady ranking growth tracked weekly.
Is local SEO different from national SEO?
Yes. Local SEO in Durban focuses on map pack rankings, Google Business Profile signals, local citations, and “near me” intent. National SEO targets broader keywords with more competition and longer timelines.
Do you write the content too?
Yes. SEO Pro and Enterprise retainers include 2-4 SEO articles/month written by experienced South African copywriters who understand Durban audiences.
