SEO services in Johannesburg, priced on the page.
When your customers in Johannesburg search for what you sell and somebody else comes up, that work goes to somebody else. We fix that, the price is printed below, and every claim we make about it is something you can check on your own phone. What we will not do is promise you a position, and this page says why.
Start with the free scorecard →Get found.
From R4,500.Search, rankings, your Google listing and the newer surfaces where buyers now ask, all in one piece of work. Rankings move, and anybody who guarantees you first place is selling you something they do not control. What we promise is the work, the measurement and the honest reading.
Your technical faults fixed, your pages written and titled around the searches your buyers actually type, your Google listing overhauled, your local search set up properly, the shape that gets you quoted in Google's AI answers and in chat assistants, and a before and after report with dates on both.
Paid advertising. We do not run ads and we will tell you plainly if ads are what you actually need.
You sell in more than one town, or you have more than about eight services that each need their own page.
Your position on your own money searches, read in the browser on google.co.za from a South African connection, dated before and dated after.

Two packages, both published. The same prices apply whether you are in Sandton or Centurion, and anything that goes beyond them gets one fixed figure in writing before we start.
Get found, once off
From R4,500The full piece of work described above, done once and handed over. Technical faults, pages, titles, your Google listing, your local search and the AI answer surfaces, with your positions measured before and after and both readings dated. You own everything at the end and nothing here binds you to us.
Monthly care
R3,499 a monthWork continues every month. Your positions and your listing measured and reported with dates, one improvement shipped a month, direct access when you need a second opinion. No lock in contract, cancel any month. It also carries the promise below, which is the part nobody else will copy.
While you are with us, we will not work for the business down the road.
Search is a queue, not a shelf. Only one business comes up first. An agency working for five crane truck companies in Johannesburg cannot lift all five, it can only shuffle the order and charge all five, and most clients never realise.
So here is ours, plainly. While you are with us monthly, we will not do this work for anyone chasing the same customers as you in your area. If you stop, that stops too, and we would be free to work with them. That is what the R3,499 holds.
This promise costs us, deliberately. Every client we take removes their rivals from our market, and we accept that because a promise that costs nothing convinces nobody. It is also why we tell you on the first call if we are already committed in your area, before you send us anything.
Local SEO, suburb by suburb.
Somebody who needs a plumber, a printer or a truck does not search for one in general. They type what they need and where they are, and where they are is a suburb: Sandton, Randburg, Midrand, Centurion, or the part of Johannesburg or Pretoria they actually work in. Those searches are the ones that turn into quotes, because the person typing them is ready to phone somebody who can get there.
So that is what we measure and report on: the city and suburb searches your buyers type, not vague ones that sound impressive in a report and produce enquiries you cannot serve. A suburb search is also a shorter climb than a broad one, which means you can watch it move instead of taking our word for it. If your customers genuinely come from further afield, your pages will still say so. What changes is what we measure, because we only sell work we can prove.
The method is the product, so here it is.
Read in a real browser
Every position is read in the browser on google.co.za from a South African connection, the same way your customer sees it. Not from a tool that estimates, because the estimate and the truth differ often enough to matter.
Dated, every time
Every reading carries the date it was taken, before the work and after it. A number without a date is a claim you cannot check, and we do not send those.
You can repeat every check
Everything we report is something you can look up yourself on your own phone. Open google.co.za, type your own money search, and count. If our report ever disagrees with your phone, phone us.
Never a promised ranking
Google decides its own results. We aim every engagement at the best position the work can honestly earn, and we report what actually happened, including the months where a number did not move.
One result, told the way we tell everything.
A transport company on the East Rand had five near identical pages competing for one search, so Google kept swapping between them and none of them settled. We pointed all five at one page and gave it proper headings. It went from second to first and has held on every dated check since.
Two things we will say out loud rather than let you assume. Two days was fast, and we do not know it repeats: this was one search for one client, not a pattern we can promise you. And we have not named them because we have not asked their permission to, which is the same respect your business would get from us.
Who this is not for.
Businesses that want a guaranteed ranking.
We will not promise a position, because nobody outside Google controls one. If a guarantee is the deciding factor for you, we are the wrong firm, and we would rather you knew before you phoned.
Budgets under R3,000.
Our smallest piece of search work is R4,500, and below about R3,000 the honest advice is usually to fill in your own Google listing yourself. It is free, it takes about an hour, and if you ask we will tell you exactly what to put in each field.
Questions we get asked.
What does SEO cost in Johannesburg?
With us, from R4,500 once off for the Get found work, and R3,499 a month for Monthly care. Those are the published prices, and anything that goes beyond them gets one fixed figure in writing before we start. The audit that tells you whether the work is worth buying at all is free.
How long before results?
The structural work ships in the first two to three weeks and you can check it yourself the day it goes live. Ranking movement usually takes weeks after that, sometimes longer, and nobody can honestly tell you otherwise. We report your positions with a date on every reading, including the readings that have not moved yet.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. Google decides its own results and nobody outside Google controls them, so a guaranteed position is a promise about something the seller does not own. What we guarantee is the work as scoped, measured before and after, with the date on both readings. If a guarantee is the deciding factor for you, we are the wrong firm, and we would rather say that here than on a call.
