Local SEO Pricing South Africa

All campaigns are “fully managed” this simply means we make changes monthly to a campaign, depending on Google rankings and other factors, in order for us to get better results for our clients!

These packages are for Local SEO or GBP (Google Business Profile), with a focus around your physical location.

We also offer Organic, National, International and e-Commerce SEO, which we quote separately for as there is allot of factors we take into consideration like niche, location, competitors etc.

The key differences between Local SEO, Organic SEO, and Google Ads (PPC) are:

  • Local SEO: Focuses on improving visibility for location-based searches. It optimizes Google Business Profiles (GBP), local citations, and location pages to help businesses appear in Google’s Local Pack and Maps results.
  • Organic SEO: Aims to rank websites in regular search results through on-page optimization, content creation, and backlink building. It targets broader, long-term visibility without direct payments for clicks.
  • Google Ads (PPC): A paid strategy where businesses bid on keywords to display ads at the top of Google search results. It provides instant traffic but requires continuous investment, as costs are incurred per click.

Each has its strengths: Local SEO is best for businesses targeting a specific area, Organic SEO builds long-term credibility, and Google Ads delivers immediate visibility for targeted searches.

FAQs

Frequently Asked ​Questions.

» What is Local SEO and why does my business need it?

Local SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps your business appear in search results when potential customers nearby search for your products or services. It’s essential for driving traffic from people in your area, boosting calls, website visits, and foot traffic — especially for brick-and-mortar stores or service-area businesses.

» How is Local SEO different from traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO targets national or global rankings, while Local SEO focuses on ranking in a specific geographic area. Local SEO includes optimising your Google Business Profile (GBP), local citations, map listings, and location-specific content — all designed to help you show up for “near me” searches.

» What is a Google Business Profile and why is it important?

Your Google Business Profile is the most visible online asset for local visibility. It shows up on Google Maps and Search when someone looks for your business or services. A well-optimised profile with reviews, accurate info, and photos can dramatically improve local trust and clicks.

» How long does it take to see results from Local SEO?

Local SEO is a long-term strategy, but many clients start seeing improvements within 30 to 90 days, depending on competition and consistency. Results improve over time as your listings gain trust signals like reviews, citations, and engagement.

» What are citations, and do they really matter for Local SEO?

Yes, citations (mentions of your business name, address, and phone number on directories and websites) are critical. Accurate, consistent citations across platforms like Yelp, Facebook, and Yellow Pages strengthen your local authority and improve your ranking in map packs.

» Do reviews help my Local SEO rankings?

Yes! Customer reviews are a powerful ranking factor. Google prioritises businesses with consistent, positive reviews because they signal trust and quality. Responding to reviews also shows engagement, which Google values.
