FAQ's

How long does SEO take to show results in Johannesburg?

Most Johannesburg businesses start seeing meaningful ranking improvements within 3 to 6 months. Local SEO tends to move faster than national campaigns. Competitive industries may take longer. We set realistic expectations at the start of every engagement and report on progress monthly.

What is the difference between SEO and Google Ads?

Google Ads delivers immediate visibility but stops the moment you stop paying. SEO builds organic rankings that generate traffic without ongoing ad spend. Most Johannesburg businesses benefit from running both together – Ads for immediate leads while SEO builds long-term authority.

Do you guarantee first page rankings?

No ethical SEO agency can guarantee specific rankings because Google controls the algorithm. What we guarantee is transparent work, honest reporting and strategies built on best practices that improve your visibility over time. Be cautious of any agency promising guaranteed rankings.

What does your monthly SEO reporting cover?

Every month you receive a report covering keyword ranking movements, organic traffic changes, technical issues identified and resolved, and a clear summary of work completed and planned next steps. No jargon, just numbers and actions.

Can you do SEO on a website you did not build?

Yes. We work on existing WordPress websites regardless of who built them. We start with a technical audit to understand the current state of the site before making any changes.
