Frequently asked
SEO Services in Johannesburg — answers.
Common questions about pricing, timelines, what's included, and how we work with Johannesburg businesses.
How long until I see SEO results in Johannesburg?
For local SEO in Johannesburg, 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 Johannesburg?
Local SEO retainers in Johannesburg 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 Johannesburg 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 Johannesburg audiences.
